The Climate Crisis is a Scam - Professor Ian Plimer
This guy says many of the same things I’ve been saying, such as pointing out how changes in the Earth’s orbit can cause ice ages. He talks about the massive CO2 decline over Earth's history and how it got dangerously low 20,000 years ago, where if it had been any lower, all terrestrial plant life would have died.
However, he denies any relationship between man-made emissions and rising temperatures.
The average global atmospheric temperature has risen by about 1 to 1.1 degrees since 1880. Some of the temperature records are controversial because the government has adjusted past measurements, claiming that earlier methods were not consistent with modern ones. Nevertheless, we know that temperatures have increased, albeit rather slowly.
It seems very likely that man-made emissions have been at least partially responsible for this increase. However, we also came out of the Little Ice Age around 1850, so there was already an upward trend.
The temperature and CO₂ data suggest that the rate of change is gradual and that temperature sensitivity to CO₂ is relatively low. I have no reason to believe that we are in a climate crisis, at least not in the near future.

You are being misled about renewable energy technology

I am almost convinced, but...
Reportedly, China has massively subsidized solar panel construction in order to dominate the world market, leading to an oversupply, driving solar panel cost down by 90%. Is this a sustainable economic situation?

Roald Dahl
Dahl made repeated antisemitic comments throughout his life,[101] and ultimately stated he was antisemitic in his late life.[102] In August 1983, Dahl reviewed Australian author Tony Clifton's God Cried, a picture book about the siege of West Beirut by the Israeli army during the 1982 Lebanon War.[103] The article, in which Dahl stated the Jews had never "switched so rapidly from much-pitied victims to barbarous murderers", appeared in the Literary Review and was the subject of media comment and criticism at the time.[104] Dahl wrote that Clifton's book would make readers "violently anti-Israeli", at the time saying, "I am not anti-Semitic. I am anti-Israel."[105] In 1990, Dahl spoke again on the Lebanon invasion, stating "they killed 22,000 civilians when they bombed Beirut. It was very much hushed up in the newspapers because they are primarily Jewish-owned. I'm certainly anti-Israeli and I've become antisemitic in as much as that you get a Jewish person in another country like England strongly supporting Zionism. I think they should see both sides. It's the same old thing: we all know about Jews and the rest of it. There aren't any non-Jewish publishers anywhere, they control the media—jolly clever thing to do".[106] His comments invoked responses from Jewish colleagues and friends, with the philosopher Sir Isaiah Berlin, stating, "I thought he might say anything. Could have been pro-Arab or pro-Jew. There was no consistent line. He was a man who followed whims, which meant he would blow up in one direction, so to speak",[105] while Amelia Foster, Jewish director of the Roald Dahl Museum in Great Missenden, said, "He had a childish reaction to what was going on in Israel. Dahl wanted to provoke, as he always provoked at dinner."[107] As a consequence of his comments, in 2014, the Royal Mint decided not to produce a coin to commemorate the centenary of Dahl's birth.[108] In 2020, Dahl's family published a statement on the official Roald Dahl website apologising for his antisemitism.[109]

Why Marxism Is Incoherent
Political theories often obscure what is really going on. At its core, the issue comes down to whether individuals or the government should make decisions—and, consequently, whether individuals or the government should pay for services. When the government pays for a service, it reduces individual choice.
For example, if the government provided refrigerators, you might not like the ones it offers. However, your taxes would still go toward funding those refrigerators, regardless of whether you choose to buy a different one. This argument can be applied to education, yet few people believe that education should be entirely private.
A case can be made for many public services. Likewise, some burdens are easier to manage when they are shared collectively.

Iran’s Decentralized Mosaic Defense, Antifragile Against War of Aggression: Example for Humanity
0 seconds ago
Delusional. Iran has supported terror against America and Israel for decades based upon false apocalyptic beliefs. The murderous Mullahs are getting payback.
The only acceptable result is to establish a secular democracy.

The nation is accelerating its self-assassination
This practice stores up risk. The higher the national debt as a percentage of GDP, the less leeway government has to respond to recessions or other economic shocks. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget says the government entered the last two recessions with the national debt at 35 percent and 80 percent of GDP, respectively. Today it is 100 percent.
If we have banished the business cycle, relax. If not … "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself," said the physicist Richard Feynman, "and you are the easiest person to fool."
