There is 100% scientific consensus in the Academy of Sciences of Czech Republic on the physically and ecologically flawed Expert Opinion on Climate Change.
As of October 2020, the website of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic hosts the Expert Opinion AVex 4/2020 on climate change, whose expert guarantor is the Institute of Climate Change Research (ÚVGZ, CzechGlobe). However, this opinion, which is intended for the government and parliament as expert guidance for the implementation of practical climate policy in the Czech Republic, is based on a physically false basis, claiming that "About one third of this energy comes in the form of solar radiation and the remaining two thirds in the form of radiation (radiation) of the atmosphere towards the surface of the Earth, i.e. the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere" (AVex 4/2020, p. 2). By making this physically false claim, the experts of the IWGZ are trying to convince the government and parliament that the increasing atmospheric concentration of CO2 and its amplifying greenhouse effect are the main cause of global warming on Earth.
We have been trying to generate expert debate on this crucial topic for a number of years. That is why we chose the form of an open letter in the autumn of 2022, repeatedly wrote to the leadership of the CAS, and spoke at seminars in Parliament. The arguments we have presented are published. No response. Our society is decarbonising, calling it climate neutrality and does not know what it is. We are letting our forests dry out, we are losing 10 hectares of farmland a day, which ends up partly under concrete and sheds. Young people blame themselves for breathing because they are increasing CO2 concentrations and endangering the planet.
The solution is simple in principle: offer solar energy over as large an area as possible to water and life, which starts with primary production - plants.

Josef Škvorecký's text on a topic that is more topical today than ever. When you read it, you think: they would have driven him away today too, but where to? To Madagascar? Editor's note...
In the new ideology of lesbian feminism, coitus may very well be a crime even in marriage.
This description of sex play is already known from the oldest literature and from very contemporary practice, but before the advent of the new sexual ideology it was called "seduction", and from the point of view of that ideology it has the disadvantage that women have the initiative in that interesting sport as often, if not more often, than men: but according to feminist dogmatism this is never the case, and the initiator is always the man.
The key issue here is the semantic dispute over whether the partner's " No!" isn't really a "No..." if you understand me, which you probably do; that is, whether the famous "No..." doesn't actually mean "Yes!" .
To copulate in such difficult circumstances means, as Norman Podhoretz writes, " to request from the partner, regardless of previous copulations, each time again, a written consent bearing a notarized signature." This is not as far-fetched as it may seem to naive Czech readers/readers: it is the only tangible evidence that this was not rape.
It is very dangerous to live sexually in North America today, and not only because of the AIDS epidemic, so it is not surprising that more and more young men here in America are going out for beer rather than on dates, and that the male bonding known from classic American literature is flourishing (probably "male bonding": Pym and Dirk Peters in Poe, Ishmael and Queeqeg in Melville, Huck and Negro Jim in Twain, etc.). No wonder the sigh is heard more and more often among us girls, "Why is it that all the men I come in contact with are either wimps or wives or hosers?"

I am a jeep owner. And I have white stars on it, not red, as Zbyněk Petráček asks, because he says that most of the territory of the Czechoslovakia was liberated by the Red Army. Any stars on Jeep MB vehicles were absolutely taboo before 1989. After the Velvet Revolution, Jeep owners could finally spray paint stars on their vehicles. And no one could order them to paint them. One hundred percent of owners opted for white and none for red.
The reasons are clear: there is no "liberator" like a liberator. The ones with white stars came, liberated and left. And they still prevented the excesses of the RG (looting guards) against their German-speaking fellow citizens, claiming that they did not come to liberate us from the Nazis so that we would start behaving like Nazis. Those with the red stars came to replace one totalitarian dictatorship (Nazi) with another totalitarian dictatorship (Communist). To loot, rape, steal watches and watch the excesses of the worst human scum against their German-speaking fellow citizens. Any more questions about the color of the stars on the jeeps?

"People will never handle with caution things for which they are not also materially responsible." - "One feels satisfied in life when one is aware of one's own worth, can rely on oneself, knows one's strengths, can face one's fears and can work on them." - "The most precious thing any individual has is time and life energy."

Let's just not divide society with counterproductive actions and attacks on others. Let's bring it together through quality, positive work and personal example. Let us not judge others, that is what the judge and God are for. Truth on earth is necessarily relative, determined by the imperfection of man. All will be accounted for in the end - "to give is to give". Bata shows us the way. JŠ

The magic of the book is in the up-close and behind-the-scenes view of the political theatre. Many of us remember, for example, that the likes of Gorbachev replaced the Supreme Soviet with a kind of parliament that reduced the power of the Communist Party, but it is certainly entertaining to read how he did it. Roxburgh recounts that the loudest speakers at the 1988 party conference were opponents of any reforms.
Just when the 5,000 apparatchiks thought the long meeting was over and they could finally head to the special Moscow shops designed just for them, Gorbachev whipped out a small piece of paper and read that elections for a new parliament would be held in the spring. Immediately thereafter, without giving the comrades a second to think about it, he put the proposal to a vote. And all those present, accustomed to raising their hands on command, raised them without realising what this would mean for their warm seats.
P.S.
Vladimír Putin is incapable of feeling, of empathy. A classic sociopath who is able to subordinate everything to power. Sociopaths have it easy in an undeveloped society. Unfortunately, there are plenty of them in the West too. Putin creates destruction by the force of his personality and personal power, those in the West by combined forces. The question is, how much is a sociopath born and how much is he created and created by his environment? If they begin to rule the world and "common sense" does not step in, nature will. It will always make it clear who is the real master on earth. JŠ
