Great Night (a #ShortStory)

"What happened to your face!?"

"I cut myself shaving."



"That looks like a bad cut. You will see the scratch for days."

"I know, right? The pain is okay. It just stings a little for a few seconds but these scratches are disfiguring."

"Right. It's why I really prefer scratches on my back."

"On your back?"

"Yes, because you can't see them but you can feel them and smile at the memory of a great night."

Why do people believe Shell when Shell states Shell is not responsible for climate change?


Here's a simple graph to show to even the people in the back that the average global temperature ís rising. 

Here's the source (click) for this graph.

You may have also seen this one on social media:
As 'evidence' the average global temperature is not rising at all. That it's all just a hoax, made up by 'the elite'. Usually without naming the source. That should be a giveaway. 

To really understand Berner's graph on carbon dioxide through the ages, one needs to be able to read. Like this article (click). It explains that the periods of time are so extremely vast that hardly any of the figures are 'fact' but an estimate at most. In Robert Berner's own words: <<He noted that "exact values of CO2... should not be taken literally.">> Which makes sense since the graph starts at over 500 million years ago. 

As if you're stating that people now owe more socks then they did a thousand years ago and use those figures to suggest that we really don't need bigger drawers. It makes absolutely no sense and is just a bunch of useless data. Albeit interesting.

Which of course doesn't keep climate change deniers to use the graph as their 'evidence' that 'the elite' is fooling us with stating the fossile fuels industry is largely responsible for manmade climate change and its consequences: droughts, floods, tornadoes, hailstorms, failed crops, Spain turning into a dessert, melting ice caps...

Why do you think climate change deniers are so unbelievably stupid? They are also very self centered. I'm sure they will scream that governments and scientists should have warned them about the consequences of climate change when they see their bed slippers float away and their coffee has become extremely expensive. 


Until they drown, climate change deniers believe anything that's put out there by websites from Clintel (click), the infamous climate change deniers foundation. Not surprisingly Clintel has close ties with Thierry Baudet, leader of a Dutch [fascist] Nationalist Party since fasci...pardon...'nationalists' love spreading fake news to their flock.

Guilty (#stoetry)

Slightly embarrassed glances
were exchanged 
at that morning's meeting:
"I won't tell if you won't" 
without words.

Without promises, 
fears or expectations 
they had spent
part of their lives 
in eachother's company.

And it felt right.
So why did they feel guilty?
