Green Guru Michael Shellenberger, formerly Time Magazine’s ‘Hero of the Environment’ has now abandoned the movement denouncing it as politically-driven and needlessly alarmist. In a public statement he fully retracts his former position as follows:

Except for healthcare providers and when in high-risk venues, no one should be wearing a mask. Most masks are quite unhealthy and some are even disease-promoting—Here’s why!

According to an open online survey with 40,000 participants from twelve countries, the use of party drugs like MDMA and also cocaine has decreased around the world as clubs and other events are on hiatus.

For the past three decades, the public has been taught by the news media and the folks who make a living composing mathematical equations they claim to simulate how our planet’s climate operates, that our oceans are in jeopardy.

Several clinical trials of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) have been administering huge doses of the drug to COVID patients—doses that can easily be lethal.

Obviously, if the inexpensive HCQ is said to fail, and is called dangerous, then it is sidelined, in favor of far more expensive (and profitable) drugs.

New statistical study shows a pattern of adverse and counter-intuitive effects resulting from governmental measures (‘lockdown’) to limit the spread of COVID-19. In short, the more counter measures taken by a government the worse the outcome.

The Association of American Physicians & Surgeons is hoping a court will compel the release of hydroxychloroquine to the public by federal government agencies.

Cambridge University reacted to one of its academics tweeting “White Lives Don’t Matter” by ignoring the backlash and promoting her to a full professorship.

A secret group email, or listserv, of progressive data analysts has been outed after one of its members was ostracized for publicly sharing data showing that violent rioting doesn’t tend to be effective in persuading people to support a political cause.

Norway is assembling a picture of what happened before lockdown and its latest discovery is pretty significant. It is using observed data – hospital figures, infection numbers and so on – to construct a picture of what was happening in March.

Nine types of hand sanitizers made by Eskbiochem SA de CV, a Mexican company, contain methanol, a wood alcohol that can be toxic when absorbed through the skin or ingested, according to the FDA, and consumers should discontinue use immediately.

Nobel laureate Richard Feynman said it best: “It doesn’t matter how beautiful your theory is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are. If it doesn’t agree with experiment, it’s wrong.”

Testing theories with data is how theories are validated. Yet the need to “‘kick the tires’ on a theory is often overlooked when the media assesses extreme weather.

Today we look at the NASA data from six stations from the US Southeast region. In every case, the trends were warmed up by what NASA calls “adjusting”.

Four of the six stations showed a clear cooling trend, which were then altered by NASA GISS (pictured) to show warming.
