Economic Catastrophe

Hoo boy. Sometimes, you might do something so embarrassing, so humiliating, that you want to hide in the closet. The prestigious science journal Nature may be thinking about doing that right about now, because on Wednesday, they officially retracted an influential 2024 climate report that predicted gloom and doom, death and misery, and impending economic catastrophe. As is the case with so much of the leftist climate narrative, their wild claims were quite simply unproven: In April 2024, the prestigious journal Nature released a study finding that climate change would cause far more economic damage by the end of the century than previous estimates had suggested.

Pope Leo XIV thinks the Global Climate Accords were the best thing since sliced bread. He does not understand that Global Warming is a lie.

"problems with the data for one country, Uzbekistan" So, they hid the fraud in Uzbekistan. They are going to have the revised document peer reviewed. Was the original peer reviewed? I think they need a better group of peers. Or maybe a better group of climate activists, ummm, scientists. One of the first things to look for in a review is dramatic changes from past data. Outliers are often mistakes and a reason to exclude data on suspicion of being invalid or fraudulent.

Neither climate "science" nor economics are a science. They are creations of the activists minds--all the numbers can be fabricated as these were. When climate data is used to generate economic predictions you are only creating a science fiction story.

When Barack and Michelle bought two huge homes on beaches, that should have been the first clue that Climate Change was nothing but a fear-mongering scam. Scientists would logically have been the first people to doubt this nonsense but they would not have been receiving the big grants to "study" it. Clueless people like Jon Carry, Algore, David Attenborough and various hollywood dimwits were used to lend credibility to the scam that was created to enrich Europe and the entire third world for decades to come.

By now it should be clear to all but the greedy climate change opportunists that "climate change" has always been ongoing and that nothing new is happening now. The planet is not endangered from the climate. It's endangered from Muslims and Somalis.

Our climate is always changing because the Earth tilts from one side to the other over the years and changes the angle upon which the rays contact. The Northern hemisphere was warm during the Middle Ages also.

Left-led UK government follows up attacking Magna Carta and frequent social media arrests by announcing it is yet again postponing elections and moving to introduce a nationwide facial camera recognition system. Brexit leader Nigel Farage eviscerated the left-wing British government for piling depredations upon depredations on the British people, as they announced yet another postponement of local elections without good reason, on the same day they moved to roll out China-style facial recognition cameras. Speaking at a Reform Party press conference, Mr Farage said of these “monstrous” changes: …today’s the day we learn that there will be surveillance cameras not just in our big cities, but literally in every single village.

The Supreme Court on Friday agreed to hear the case over President Donald Trump's executive order directing federal agencies to interpret the 14th Amendment as excluding birthright citizenship to the children of illegal aliens and tourists, CBS News reported. Trump imposed the order as a means of combating the practice of birth tourism and the creation of "anchor babies", intended to present an obstacle to deportations. Thus far, the Department of Justice has struggled to defend the order in the lower courts and it remains unclear whether the conservative friendly justices will be more receptive to their arguments.

The arrest of Brian Cole Jr. on Thursday in connection with the J6 pipe bombing incident is a huge story. But make no mistake, this story is about to be memory-holed by the mainstream media… and fast. Federal authorities arrested 30-year-old Brian Cole Jr. of Virginia for allegedly planting pipe bombs outside the RNC and DNC headquarters on the night of January 5, 2021. For four years, Biden’s FBI failed to break the case while the pipe bombs were used as political ammunition against Trump supporters.

Hell has frozen over, and take cover; pigs are flying. The New York Times has told the truth, and in so doing, defended Donald Trump and SecWar Pete Hegesth. The stakes are high: Polls show trust in the media at an all-time low with less than 20 percent of citizens trusting television or print media. Yet, reporters and academics continue to destroy the core principles that sustain journalism and ultimately the role of a free press in our society. Notably, writers who have been repeatedly charged with false or misleading columns are some of the greatest advocates for dropping objectivity in journalism. The Times’ sudden embrace

There's good news for Republicans on the congressional redistricting front Thursday evening, as the Supreme Court has now granted Texas' application to stay a divided three-judge district court panel ruling that enjoined the use of the newly drawn map. Following the panel decision in mid-November, Texas appealed directly to the Supreme Court (as is permitted in redistricting cases), and the court swiftly issued an administrative (temporary) stay of the lower court decision. On Thursday, in a 6-3 ruling, the court formally stayed the panel decision pending its appeal on the merits. The practical effect of this

Trump and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the reset in the Oval Office while flanked by Republican lawmakers and auto industry leaders. “We’re officially terminating Joe Biden’s ridiculously burdensome, horrible, actually, CAFE standards that impose expensive restrictions and all sorts of problems to auto makers,” Trump said. The president noted that the CAFE standards imposed by the previous administration impacted both domestic and foreign manufacturers making cars for the American market and, in turn, consumers.

Jordan subpoenaed Smith Wednesday to have him testify at a deposition on December 17 and provide documents to the committee ahead of the interview. “Due to your service as Special Counsel, the Committee believes that you possess information that is vital to its oversight of this matter,” Jordan said in a letter accompanying the subpoena. The subpoena to have Smith testify privately comes after Smith requested a public hearing to dispel what he considers Republican misconceptions about his cases against Trump.

Vladimir Putin is blaming his European counterparts for sabotaging peace talks to end the war in Ukraine that he started almost four years ago — and even raised the possibility of expanding the conflict to take on the European powers. Ahead of a meeting with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, Putin lambasted Europe for “putting forward demands that are absolutely unacceptable for Russia.” “They themselves refused peace negotiations and are interfering with President Trump,” Putin added. Putin also suggested that Russia would be prepared to fight Europe in a broader war if the conflict in Ukraine escalates.
