    🧵I write about climate science, politics, international affairs, and a host of other subjects. Links in bio. Best thing about writing for the web? People who can show me where I'm wrong. It saves me the endless time I'd otherwise waste following blind alleys and wrong ideas.

    Per your link, the project has cost $9.4 million. How's this a $590K "savings to taxpayers"? That's an $8.8 million loss. Also, it's amazing what success you can report when your article only mentions the successes, not the people who spent it on hookers and blow … w.

    Look, folks. Hate to burst the bubble, but the whole renewable madness is nothing but a green fantasy. We've spent TRILLIONS on it, and here's what we've achieved. Sadly, "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

    People keep claiming that CO2 levels are the "highest in history" and that they are an "existential crisis". Madness. We are at the very lowest CO2 levels in history. Modern organisms, including mammals, evolved when CO2 levels were much higher than today. Relax. w.

    Howard, I must confess, I used to care about the Palestinians … but I no longer give a fµ¢k about them. Palestinians are the only people on Earth who feel entitled to declare war on their neighbor repeatedly, reject offers of statehood, receive billions in aid, waste it all on

    Per Bloomberg, over the last 19 years, the world wasted $6.6 TRILLION on wind and solar. In exchange, we got intermittent, unreliable electricity. For the same price, we could have built 660 reliable constant one-gigawatt nuclear plants at current prices …

    Can anyone name another "vaccine" where you need three-four shots per year and you can still both get and spread the disease? I'll wait ... w. PS–I'm 3X vaccinated ... not going for #4.

    When I was in high school, every deer season one pickup truck in four in the HS parking lot had a gun in the rear window rack. Not loaded, but bullets in the glove box. Dozens of guns at the HS. And guess what? NOBODY GOT SHOT. The problem is the humans, not the guns. w.

    There's a lot of misunderstanding these days about the nature of science. The most crucial insight is that science is not a "thing". It is a process, and it works as follows: • Someone makes a falsifiable claim about how the world works. They back the claim up with

    Name ONE "catastrophic impact" shown to be due to the ±1°C warming of the last century. I'll wait ... In the meantime, you still run an airline burning millions of gallons of fossil fuel every year, right? So you make billions out of emitting CO2? Asking for a friend ... w.

    Gosh, Ryan, maybe next time they shouldn't team up with people who invade their neighbor's house, rape his wife until her pelvis breaks then burn her alive, abduct his infant and grandmother as hostages, kill him and the kids, kidnap the daughter to be a sex slave … and then
