Well, I see that the climate change alarmists are at it again.
Recently, Google sponsored a global warming summit in Italy. It was well attended by the rich and famous. These "concerned" people arrived in their private jets and yachts. They claim that private jets are necessary for security purposes.
Their 114 private jets must have put hundreds of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. I'm sure their super yachts didn't do much good for the waters surrounding Sicily.
I just did a quick Google search on global warming or climate change conferences and found that there are meetings planned for this year in October in Amsterdam and Bangkok and another in December in Kuala Lampur. More chances to use those private jets and travel in luxury.
I wonder is these attendees are more concerned about our planet, or if they just want an excuse for a party with their other jet-setting friends.
If they are truly concerned about our planet, they would consider jet-pooling the way we normal people are encouraged to car-pool when we commute. Have they not heard about tele-conferencing? Many large companies use this method for meetings instead of having employees fly from several offices to one office for a meeting.
Instead, the rich and famous want us to give up our water bottles and plastic straws so they can continue to enjoy fitting around the world in their private jets and super yachts so they can warn us that we only have 10 years to save our world.

Sometimes the old way is the best way.
For several weeks I have not been able to stream shows on my Firestick on my Smart TV. Several times I would turn on the TV and switch to the streaming source, but it didn't work. I guess since it's a "smart tv", I expected it would fix itself.
This morning, I decided to tackle it myself. I did a self diagnosis, checked the internet connection, made sure everything was plugged in and turned on. I tried everything. Fortunately, I resisted the temptation to return to factory settings.
Then I had a brainstorm. Check the batteries in the remote, especially since I have had the Firestick for almost two years. It was very hard to open, but I managed to do it without breaking anything. That was a wonderful idea. I changed the batteries (fortunately I had some on hand) and it worked.
In this wonderful electronic age, who knew the fix would be as easy as changing the batteries.
