Unsettling the apple cart II: Koonin on climate | Climate Discussion Nexus
Unsettling the apple cart II: Koonin on climate | Climate Discussion Nexus"Being a physicist, Koonin notes the strange fact that there are about 40 major computer climate models in the world and they vary quite a bit in the results they produce.
Why “being a physicist”?
Because it means climate models aren’t “just physics” as some defenders claim.
If they were we would only need one since all the models would come to the same conclusion.
And the models don’t just disagree about future warming.
They even disagree about the current average temperature, with the range spanning about 3°C.
That’s three times the observed warming of the 20th century that the models purport to be able to explain. Which doesn’t add up.
And as Koonin dug further into the IPCC reports and the underlying literature he found the problems quickly mounted...Read all.

Senators introduce legislation to curb secret foreign funding of American universities | The College Fix
- Republican lawmakers introduce new bill to combat foreign influence on college campuses
- Republican Senators, including Tim Scott of South Carolina and Tom Cotton of Arkansas, have introduced legislation to increase transparency surrounding the money that foreign countries give to American universities.
- The Foreign Funding Accountability Act would require the disclosure of full names of foreign entities, disclosure of the specific purposes of foreign gift transactions and clarification that gifts to university foundations are not exempt from disclosure.
- It would also lower the minimum reporting threshold for disclosure—from $250,000 to $25,000.
- Research finds problems with transparency
- Multiple investigations have uncovered gaps between money received by universities from foreign entities and the amount reported to authorities.
- A Wall Street Journal report in 2020 that found Cornell University failed to report more than $1.2 billion in foreign funds, including $760 million related to its campus in Qatar and about $1 million in contracts from Chinese telecom company Huawei Technologies Co.

NASA caught "adjusting" Global Temperature Graph - Electroverse:
"...In what Dr Higgs calls yet another manipulation of the data, in early 2021, NASA discreetly lowered the 2016 global average temperature –previously the highest on record– to make the year 2020 seem like the hottest.
NASA play these ‘games of adjustment’ all the time, and each and every time, without fail, their tweaks support the man-made global warming narrative...Read all.

Che Guevara's Daughter: Cuban Protesters Are 'Low Class'
Che Guevara's Daughter: Cuban Protesters Are 'Low Class':
Aleida Guevara March, daughter of communist mass murderer Ernesto “Che” Guevara, has urged the Cuban Communist Party to enact more violent repressive measures against the thousands of “low-class people” protesting on the island, AmericaTeVe reported on Tuesday.
Guevara, an Argentine-Irish communist who joined Fidel Castro’s small group of violent Marxists in the takeover of the country in 1959, served as economics minister in the early days of the Cuban Revolution. He spearheaded programs to build concentration camps for suspected homosexual Cubans and Christian groups, organized firing squads against political dissidents, and openly boasted to the United Nations that the Revolution intended to kill large numbers of Cuban people.

"The establishment media has been all-in on the narrative that African-Americans are clamoring for politicians to boot police from their neighborhoods.
These leftists have championed cities that defund their police departments even as crime rates skyrocket in those areas — but, we are told, black people feel safest when the cops are gone.
...Lee Fang, an investigative journalist with The Intercept, was covering the pro-law enforcement “Stand Up for a Safe Oakland” rally at the city’s Lake Merritt Amphitheater on July 10.
He noted that hundreds of mostly black supporters not only showed up en masse to back the blue but some of them also schooled what he called a handful of “white antifa protesters” who were insisting that police were the problem...Read all.

From a friend: "The Biden administration has the Coast Guard picking up refugees from Cuba and returning them to Cuba."
Fans of Best of the Web Today | Facebook
The difference being that those coming over our southern border will eventually vote Democrat and Cubans are known to vote Republican.
"I am in such a foul mood this morning.
The Biden administration has the Coast Guard picking up refugees from Cuba and returning them to Cuba.
We allow our southern border to be wide open but return people to an actual dictatorship where they face imprisonment, torture and death.
It’s one thing to know that our political class does these things to benefit themselves to the detriment of the country.
It’s quite another to realize that many of our fellow citizens will willingly go along with it for the same reason.
I always told myself that they were being manipulated, having their heartstrings pulled, I’m not so sure now."
And a response from another: "During the border rush under Trump, the left's talking point was "asylum," which was a lie, of course, since the bulk of that group was economically motivated.
Now, people genuinely seeking asylum - because what do you think happens to those who are forced to return? - and the left is silent.
It's Olympian-level hypocrisy but even worse, it's a demonstration of character.
Dems do not give a damn about people; they only care about the political of the day's mascot."
