Fake News at the UN : climate disinformation at the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR)
A recent press release1 published on Science, climat et énergie website echoed a « draft IPCC report, announcing an “acceleration” of climate "disturbances" by 2050 ».Thus, a vast offensive by the IPCC and its henchmen will soon begin on the theme : natural disasters will kill us all2 !One of the first salvos of this assault is a communication from one of the UN agencies.On October 12, 2020, the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR3), in collaboration with the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED4), released a report entitled :« Human Cost of Disasters – An Overview of the Last 20 Years – 2000-2019 ».It compares this period to the previous one, 1980-1999.Already, with the foreword, the authors are not being too subtle :« While this report focuses primarily on the staggering rise in climate-related...
A god or not a god, what is the question?
This can really only go two ways, either this whole thing is a coincidence, just a process of enery moving from compact to defuse, and this physical reality is just an emergent part of that movement of energy, or it's not and there is a reason, a point, a god?Maybe it's two membranes colliding, an accidental "spark" that ignited the big bang, or just a cyclic movement of energy from defuse to compact to defuse again, on an endless cycle of creation and desctruction of what we see as this physical universe.It could be, but a mechanical explanation of an accidental phenomenon is, well, kind of soulless, empty and a bit of a crap explanation if you were looking for any hint of a "why".Is a meaning required? Do we need a why to explain the how? Does the "how" not stand on its own? "The Universe is here through coincidence, any meaning you find is your own.""God did it and it's a test."Is...
The Truth About The Truth
Truth was put on trial and judged by people devoted to lies. Truth faced six trials in less than one full day, three of which were religious and three "legal." In the end, few people involved in those events could answer the question, "What is Truth?"A postmodernist world that denies the truth can be known makes the question more important than ever to answer. What is truth?I will attempt to use Salem, MA., Witch Hunt of 1692 as an example of defining truth, and I will need to point out many things, so please bear with me.So, the question has always been for as long as I can remember, why we got taught to fear the witches in Salem and not those who hunted them and burned those convicted of witchcraft "at the stake." The latter being a lie, nonetheless. And I will address that point of contention later in the read.We must understand that during 1692 and even prior, Puritans believed...
America Needs Democrats to Follow AOC’s Lead on Their Virginia Loss
Democrats need to make themselves look unelectable to the average person for conservatives to regain powerAlexandra Ocasio-Cortez is hellbent on keeping the Democratic Party moving further to the Left if that’s possible.That’s great news for conservatives and regular middle-class Americans who want to live in a functional country. The last time we had one was in 2019 under President Trump when we had record low unemployment for Blacks and Hispanics, store shelves were full, gas was affordable, wages were rising, little inflation, a working supply chain, and not everything was about race. Since we had mean tweets, we couldn’t have normal things and Biden got elected.If Democrats like AOC were clear-thinking people, they would realize all their far-left policies and ideas we’ve dealt with the past year ruined the country and they should recalibrate. Any good political strategist or...
Climate Change as Our Most Recent Iteration of Religious Sacrifice
Climate change is a hot topic in American media, politics, and public opinion. But why has it caught on so well with the public? Widespread belief for climate change and support for its policy prescriptions comes not from compelling science, but rather from how it aligns with pre-existing belief systems in America.--Climate change is big in America. As Pew Research found in their 2016 study "Politics of Climate," 75% of Americans are particularly concerned about helping the environment as they go about their daily lives(1). In 2019, about half of them stated of climate change that they think human activity contributes "a great deal" to the problem (seen below). Americans believe in climate change, and they believe they are a great deal responsible for it.But what does it mean when they can't seem to agree about what the science says? As seen below, about the same number of...
Reacting to “YouTube - Divide by zero”: Dark Horse
I really liked Heather’s and Bret’s thoughts on censorship, the relationship between theoretical and experimental science, the role of federal grant money in corrupting academic institutions, the newly published ivermectin study, and on similarities between George Orwell’s “1984” and the current state of the world. It is clear to me that the world would be a better place if there were more scientists willing to host long form, honest, exploratory conversations like Bret and Heather. I think this positive change will be amplified if less importance is bestowed upon the proclamations of public health officials. This way, scientific thinking becomes accessible by the masses instead of serving up the results of science through a medium that can easily be used to deceive when it should inform.YouTube’s decision to remove Bret’s conversations with Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Robert Malone, and...
