Jaka Parka experiences pizza in Pyongyang:
Ryung Song Italia Pizza in North Korea
2/Seeing North Korean "escapee" Seohyun Lee trashing Ryung Song Italia Pizza (& the original video)👇, I knew a defector's perspective couldn't be trusted b/c she's sold her DPRK soul for Western capitalism. My search for truth led to Jaka Parka's video👆.
3/Italian cuisine is exotic in Pyongyang, North Korea. Italian-style dishes made in Italian ovens at Ryung Song Italia Pizza bring a European cultural infusion of food to locals and travellers. But it doesn’t just serve pizza and pasta. Seeing pizza in a menu in Pyongyang is akin
4/to an Anglo-American looking at photos perusing the menu at an Indian, Korean or Thai restaurant, dishes that are a complete contrast to his/her regular fare. This video just corroborated what I already felt, that North Korean women are the coolest on the planet. Not only do
5/they really perform well at their jobs they act completely professional and casual while just being their cool natural selves. Everyone knows that DPRK women love high heel shoes and these platform clogs they're wearing 👇echo the truth that it's the little things that count.
6/Making pizzas in Pyongyang is a really cool gig and these DPRK women have it down as they work and save away. Seohyun Lee on the other hand has abandoned them & her native country for Western acclaim, so she has to disparage & insult cool North Korean women whom she's betrayed.
2 top fuels
“Natural gas is the best fossil fuel in terms of energy output per unit CO2 emitted. Biomass is renewable b/C a new crop can be grown after each harvest, and biomass is a low carbon fuel.”
why is biomass a better alternative to natural gas apex lisbdnet.com/why-is-biomass…
2/“How is biomass used as an energy source?
Biomass can be burned to create heat (direct), converted into electricity (direct), or processed into biofuel (indirect). Biomass can be burned by thermal conversion and used for energy. Thermal conversion involves heating the biomass
3/"feedstock in order to burn, dehydrate, or stabilize it.
Is biomass really green?
Biomass is considered renewable because the plant material used to create it can be regrown and the carbon dioxide produced in burning it is re-absorbed by plant life, so it is carbon neutral
Real science, real questions
Q21: What is the relationship between temperature and CO2 concentrations during glacial-interglacial cycles?
Q22: What is the difference in CO2 concentrations between maximums in interglacial periods (i.e. peaks in the sites.gsu.edu/geog1112/lab-6…
2/"graph) and maximums in glacial periods (i.e. valleys in the graph)?
Q23: Why do atmospheric CO2 concentrations increase and decrease so much during glacial-interglacial cycles?
Q24: Compared to the present-day global average temperature, how much lower was the global
3/"average temperature 21,000 years ago?
Q25: How much did CO2 concentrations increase from 21,000 years ago to 1500 A.D?
Q26: Why have CO2 concentrations increased by at least another 100 ppm from 1500 A.D. to the present?"

2/The chart shows the Renewables and biofuel curve is on an upward trajectory, which is what we want. Instead of trying to increase the slope of the curve (i.e. accelerate the increase), just maintaining this slope will get us to the right goal. As renewables & biofuels increase,
3/and market incentives + gov't subsidies make oil & gas less appealing, capitalism will work its magic and consumer trends should shift towards consuming sustainable renewable and biofuel sources of energy. Slow and steady wins the race. Gov't mandates and closing down pipelines
The more you strengthen economic ties among countries w/ different political or ideological systems, the more you decrease chances of a military conflict. Economic cooperation over common denominator resources makes ☮️time desirable and profitable.
People will set ideological differences aside when everyone is able to get in on a slice of the pie. Before the advent of modern ideology, humanity survived the Ice Age and lived in caves following the herds thru the seasons. We can cooperate when it comes to survival.
Long before modern gas pipelines we were engaged in a more primitive way of living:
Gas pipeline Nord Stream 2 links Germany to Russia, but splits Europe cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/gas…
"The project
Nord Stream 2 is an underwater twin pipeline that would transport natural gas from Russia directly to Germany. At a length of 1,230 kilometres, it is to follow the route of
2/"the existing Nord Stream twin pipeline underneath the Baltic Sea. The original Nord Stream pipeline, with an annual capacity of 55 billion cubic metres (bcm), was finished in late 2012. The pipeline system’s total capacity is set to double to 110 bcm following Nord Stream 2’s
3/"completion. The pipeline crosses into the exclusive economic zones of five countries: Russia, Germany, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden."
What's not to like about natural gas among Germany, Scandinavia & Russia? It is essential to keeping homes, communities, towns & cities warm
Seohyun Lee, a North Korean defector, trashes an NK-produced video of Ryung Song Italia Pizza calling it a propaganda video. Jaka Parka's video tho reveals a different reality: Very cool DPRKers offering exotic Italian-style pizzas & pastas for customers🤩
2/I see a completely different reality in Ryung Song Italia Pizza than what Seohyun Lee is selling, which itself is propaganda, a diatribe packaged in soft lip-glossed veneer.
3/She says: “Pizza is not a popular food in North Korea, and I believe most people don’t know about it at all…Therefore, this restaurant is by Kim Jong Un, of Kim Jong Un & for Kim Jong Un. What North Korean people want is simply enough rice to eat 3 meals a day, not some fancy
