Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I stumbled across this on FB:



Akin to "our" hypotheticals matchups.  I was impressed with Joe Burreaux for obvious, and VY of course.

The U.S. Navy’s famed Blue Angels aerial demonstration team on Monday named the first female pilot in the squadron’s history, the organization said.

Lieutenant Amanda Lee is one of six new core members selected for the team, founded 76 years ago, the Navy said. It said women from the Navy and Marine Corps have served with the Blue Angels for 55 years, but never before as a pilot.

The Blue Angels were created in 1946 to generate public support and boost Navy morale by performing aerial moves at air shows, sporting events and other flight demonstrations.


Lee, of Mounds View, Minnesota, is currently assigned to the Strike Fighter Squadron 106 demonstration team, known as the Gladiators, stationed at Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She and the other new members will report to the Blue Angels in September.

After the current season concludes in the winter, the members will undergo five months of training in a California facility before starting the 2023 show season.

There are 17 officers currently on the Blue Angels. They typically serve two years with the team.

The LSU team is always so interesting to me, because the defense was just good, not great, occasionally vulnerable. But the offense was such a murder wagon that it never felt like it totally mattered

Yeah, it was a fun team to watch if you weren't playing them.  I'd sorta like to see that team up against the UGA '21 team.  Burreaux was just insane that year.

I wondered how'd he'd do in the NFL, thinking he should be very good.  You never really know, and the Bungals OL was not great at first.

The greatest green house gas in the atmosphere by far is water and there has always been climate change at any time scale one wishes to look at.  The release of carbon into the atmosphere by humans burning fossil fuels, ~6GtC/yr, is pretty small when compared to other natural sources such as soil respiration, 120 GtC/yr.  The level of CO2 in the atmosphere is increasing and that will trap more heat.  I just don't buy that human activity is the overwhelming cause for climate change or phenomenon such as the current heat wave in Europe. 

The smart people I know all believe the same thing...it's not necessarily the amount of GHG that we are releasing, it's the rate and scale we are releasing them in a short period of time.  All the other things you mention are natural causes that have been happening for billions of years.  

The increase in CO2 is clearly due to human activity.  One can measure this using isotopic ratios of carbon in atmospheric CO2.

Natural sources of CO2 generate a pretty constant amoung, and it's enriched in C14 for obvious reasons.  Fossil fuel induced CO2 is C14 depleted.

We KNOW CO2 levels are increasing and we KNOW it's largely due to buring fossil fuels.  How that impacts climate (and weather) is not what I'd call known.  It gets complicated.

and spend $$$ to put up a rather large umbrella?

My guess is the EO is long on words and very short on real impact.

I don't know what it could really do of substance, probably "order" the EPA to amass figures on who is polluting, or something.  It looks like a show, to me, political optics.  If a President COULD do something of substance, why didn't he do it when he took office?

A LOT of these EOs amount to nothing.
