A bias, and hubris, hand in hand.

What we can notice there is a bias, shared by most of us, and all religions. That life means intelligence, and that it also makes us a privileged species.Or a 'privileged nation', or human. Without that intelligence no religion can exist.

Of course, this is assuming that intelligence is evolutionary for all life, for aliens as well as us. It could be that intelligence hasn't any meaning for evolution, in which case it, and we, don't matter at all. Us becoming a distortion of it, something unintended by nature, mother earth, the universe, or just 'life'..

Seem to remember some new tech from Hawaii, measuring biological signatures in radiation, that they've tried on a extinct species. Planning to test it on searching for extraterrestrial life. The good about is that it doesn't need someone actively using radio or any other man made artifact. Those signatures are expected to be there anyway in the radiation.

The bad thing? Well, assume they find 'life', but no artifacts existing, no one 'communicating'. What does that state about our chances today?

It doesn't matter how long it took for us to reach this point, if it was millions of years. We're burning out very quickly today.

This one makes me smile a little. 'The Great Filter'. It seems quite probable to me, looking at us.

And here's a somewhat basic description of clouds and their warming respective cooling effects.

https://phys.org/news/2020-09-clouds-piece-climate-puzzle.html

Add to it that at night those clouds reflect IR, heat coming from the ground and water.

This one covers a lot of base

Actually, maybe this is a better place to start.

aerosols and the poles

Yes, and clouds are still a open question in climate science even though it knows a lot about them..It's incredibly tricky to model, and if you add thing like aerosols, normally considered to have a cooling effect, it gets even trickier. Then we have soot, micro plastics and all those other types of dust, especially if Arctic regions continues to burn as they've been doing lately. I'm not sure if you can get a nucleation, aka rain or snow, without nuclei preexisting, if you have a link to a study proving this it would be nice.

And if that got you curios?

Ecohydrology, and that topsoil.

And we just luv those synonyms, don't we? 'Blue water' and 'green water' cycles. Made me think of 'blue', 'gray', and 'green' methane.  But they have their reasons, in both cases. Subterfuge in the case of methane, the first more inside reason to me.

Still, that type of dust may not reach high enough to make clouds, instead staying at lower elevations. And if that is the cause you shouldn't get rain. You should get fog instead, high humidity and condensation. Wet bulb temperatures.

So I stated that with more dust, the more nuclei for those those raindrops to form. NASA seems to think otherwise though, expecting a 'dust minimum' to become a future norm.

2021   https://www.nasa.gov/feature/esnt/2021/nasa-study-predicts-less-saharan-dust-in-future-winds

Alan mentioned supersaturation, and it makes me wonder how that humidity can fall out in a absence of nuclei? It should become another tricky one, if that prognosis becomes correct. But I doubt it to matter that much, we create dust everywhere we exist.

It doesn't excuse anything, but it explains a lot.

Thinking of it. Forgot to reply on bullying Collin. There's also the trick where you place someone in a corner, making it untenable for that person, you don't touch him, you just keep on bullying until he loses it.

As has this.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/03/the-nigerian-gas-deal-the-irish-impresario-and-the-8bn-ruling-amid-claims-of-bribery

" Priti Patel, the home secretary, has previously publicly intervened in the dispute before the corruption allegations were aired, urging in an article published in November 2018 for Nigeria to pay its debts to P&ID."

This has some too.

" After the European court interim measure grounded the 14 June flight, the home secretary, Priti Patel, said she was disappointed by the legal challenge, criticised the ECHR ruling and said the policy would continue. “We will not be deterred from doing the right thing and delivering our plans to control our nation’s borders,” she said. “Our legal team are reviewing every decision made on this flight and preparation for the next flight begins now.”

It is understood the Home Office has made submissions to the European court to set aside the interim ruling"

As that Home Office person is told to have said: “We remain committed to our world-leading migration partnership with Rwanda."
