The Earth Is Warming, but Is CO2 the Cause? - WSJ

The Earth Is Warming, but Is CO2 the Cause? - WSJ
  • Norway’s government commits a no-no by letting statisticians pose the most inconvenient question.
"If this column has ever plagiarized itself, it’s by repeating the phrase “evidence of warming is not evidence of what causes warming.” 
  • A paper published by the Norwegian government’s statistical agency, written by two of its retired experts, touching on this very subject has called forth so many shrieked accusations of climate apostasy that you know it must be interesting.
  • The authors ask a simple question: Are computerized climate simulations a sufficient basis for attributing observed warming to human CO2
After all, the Earth’s climate has been subject to substantial warming and cooling trends for millennia that remain unexplained and can’t be attributed to fossil fuels. 
  • As statisticians, their conclusion: “With the current level of knowledge, it seems impossible to determine how much of the temperature increase is due to emissions of CO2.”...

Our memory of tyranny is terribly short | Blaze Media

Pick any issue at all, and I can tie it back to the terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad decisions spawned by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Because even if it’s something not directly tied to COVID or the heinous policies that ensued as a result, COVID nonetheless permitted people such as Fauci to gain immense power. This is why I can never let this go without a reckoning. Everything goes back to that. And I will never stop reminding you of that. No matter how much some of you don’t want to hear it.

This Saturday, Just Say No To The Clock-Changing Madness: It’s Pointless And Dangerous - I & I Editorial Board 
"...Americans should instead refuse to play along
It’s time to end the madness.
  • First, despite its label, “Daylight Saving Time” does not save daylight. It doesn’t even save energy...
  • What is clear is that it is a real public health hazard. A study in Health Economics found that “springing forward” causes “the suicide rate to rise by 6.25% and the death rate from suicide and substance abuse combined to increase by 6.59% directly after the time change.”
You don’t have to wait for the federal government to retract this idiocy.
  • Just refuse to change your clocks, starting this weekend. 
  • On Sunday, get up at the same time you always do. 
  • Go to work at the same time next Monday as you did this Friday.
The only difference you’ll experience is that your commute will be easier, and you can still get a little bit of daylight at the end of the workday...

A leftist governor ... in Wyoming? | Blaze Media

A leftist governor ... in Wyoming? | Blaze Media

Well, if Governor Mark Gordon has his way, Wyoming will look like the same green dystopia as California. How does this guy keep getting re-elected?

Last week, amid Harvard’s enthusiastic embrace of Hamas, Gordon made it a priority to deliver a speech on “carbon-negative” and promote the grift of carbon capture, solar, and wind energy before the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. “It is clear that we have a warming climate,” Gordon said in accepting the core premise undergirding our return to the Stone Age. “It is clear that carbon dioxide is a major contributor to that challenge. There is an urgency to addressing this issue.”

  • "Michigan’s flat rate for state income tax sits at 4.25%, which is higher than what you will find for most middle-class families nationwide.

Something strange is happening with teenagers’ mental health. 
In the US, Britain, Australia and beyond, the same trend can be seen: around the middle of the last decade, the number of young people with anxiety, depression and even suicidal tendencies started to rise sharply. 
Jonathan Haidt, a psychology professor at New York University’s Stern School of Business, noticed a change when students who were brought up with smartphones started to arrive on campus. 
  • They were angrier. 
  • More fragile. 
  • More likely to take offense.

London Police Deliver Chilling Message to Counter-Protesters Opposing Pro-Hamas Mobs - By Bonchie 
"...As RedState reported, tens of thousands have marched through the streets, some shouting antisemitic slogans and declaring support for "intifada." 
The mobs have also taken over various British monuments, describing and damaging them.
In light of that, counter-protestors showed up on Saturday to ask people to respect British heritage
  • Instead of being allowed to march down the street as the pro-Hamas protesters have done, though, they were forced to stay behind barricades. 
  • Why the disparate enforcement of the law? 
According to police on the scene, there are just too many pro-Hamas protesters.
  • The United Kingdom is now a country where you can't freely protest while waving a British flag, but you can march down the street waving a Palestinian flag while defacing monuments without consequence. 
  • If that seems insane, that's because it is...

'There is power in a name': American Ornithological Society is renaming over 70 species of birds to correct 'historic bias' | Blaze Media

The leftist campaign to sever ties with the past in the name of equity and inclusion continues unabated, even in the sciences. The latest effort, undertaken by the American Ornithological Society, will ultimately see all species of birds in the United States and Canada renamed, purportedly to "address past wrongs and engage far more people."

Hope is in the wind!
