WATCH: "first annual REAL fake news awards"

@fair dinkum. Though broadly in agreement re overwhelming trivia keeping the sheeple “distracted from distraction by distractions” I think the stock market can be serious — even for people who do not own stock. Because “nothing moves in the modern world until some money has changed hands” (the motto of International Business Machines).
So, this headline might seem trivial: U$ Dollar is Dying Fast – Last Week Market Plunge Signaling More To Come. Never mind that, it’s a correction, will go up again, and down and .. Central Banks own whopping T$ worth shares to keep market booming. If you bought at the top.. tough.. otherwise how does it affect you?
But what is important is that in the 1st 20 working days in January somebody, China(?), shorted Comex Gold for 1/4 of a year’s production.. say with a near one billion$ bet, (656Tonnes at 13440$/oz).
That gambler has requested execution_in_physical_gold — which means it cannot be settled by printing dollars (or pounds) as usual. Comex doesn’t have that gold, maybe London has. This means the decades of purely numeric manipulation of paper or electronic currency may be coming to a close. The reset is coming. 10-20KGold? And other real goods coming back as a measure of wealth? The stock market is really important when its dividends are matched to actual production of real goods by the companies concerned; what has made the stock market trivial today (and hence dangerous) is the linking of stocks to a currency which is mainly fiat debt — promises to pay.

Scientists overwhelmingly agree that global warming – that causes the melting of ice caps – is caused by human interference. But this does not prove that polar bears are dying because of a shortage of ice (the effect of global warming) . If you make this claim, it should be substantiated with valid evidence.

Because it’s not true! It took me only 5 minutes to find this authoritative statement from the Global Warming Policy Foundation:
“In 2005, the official global polar bear estimate was about 22,500.
Since 2005, however, the estimated global polar bear population has risen by more than 30% to about 30,000 bears, far and away the highest estimate in more than 50 years.
A growing number of observational studies have documented that polar bears are thriving, despite shrinking summer sea ice.
By September 2007 sea ice extent was about 43% less than it had been in 1979 – a decline not expected until mid-century, and every year after was almost as low, or lower.
Yet no more drowned polar bears were documented, no more bears than normal starved to death, no unusual spikes in cannibalism occurred, and not a single polar bear population was wiped out.
New scientific evidence suggests that loss of summer sea ice, regardless of the cause, is not a major risk for polar bear survival. ”
Quoted from the full article at: https://www.thegwpf.org/as-polar-bear-numbers-increase-gwpf-calls-for-re-assessment-of-endangered-species-status/
The Foundation agrees that there has been a shrinking of the summer sea ice in the Arctic – but it doesn’t claim it is a result of human-produced CO2. There is no physico-chemical mechanism for the relatively minute proportion of CO2 in the atmosphere to raise temperature significantly – and all historical evidence says that CO2 increases come AFTER a rise in temperature, not before.
