Kendrick, the founder of Sustainable Housing Solutions (SHS), was supposed to use it for projects like building houses in developing countries. It's unclear how much money actually went to those projects and the UN is claiming $22million of it is still missing.

No, they don't ALL agree!-----Top climate scientists predict decades of global cooling in study ignored by mainstream media - LifeSite
Top climate scientists predict decades of global cooling in study ignored by mainstream media -
- The findings, from six international scientists, were completely ignored at the WEF's Davos 2023 conference.
By extension, the rest of the globe will also be cooled.
- These sensational findings, ignored by the mainstream media, were released last year and are the work of six top international scientists led by Nour-Eddine Omrani of the Norwegian Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research.
- Published in the Nature journal Climate and Atmospheric Science, the scientists say that the North Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, an important sea current that has been pumping warmer water into the Arctic, is weakening and that’s leading to a cooler North Atlantic area and lower temperatures, as was observed in the period 1950–1970...

'Career suicide' to speak out against university's 'obsession' with DEI, climate initiatives due to 'rise in illiberalism,' says departing science professor - TheBlaze
'Career suicide' to speak out against university's 'obsession' with DEI, climate initiatives due to 'rise in illiberalism,' says departing science professor - TheBlaze:
"Over the last decade or so, but especially the last few years, the obsession with universities and grant-funding institutions on immutable characteristics of faculty and students and the push for equity in science above all else has dramatically changed the profession of an academic professor," Wielicki wrote. "The rise of illiberalism in the name of DEI is the antithesis of the principles that universities were founded on."

PFIZER’S RESPONSE TO PROJECT VERITAS’S STING FAILS TO CONVINCE
Instapundit--Their statement isn’t going to convince anyone on the fence.
PFIZER’S RESPONSE TO PROJECT VERITAS’S STING FAILS TO CONVINCE:
"There’s a lot of doublespeak and hiding behind language there. While Pfizer insists it performs no gain-of-function research, it goes on to admit that in a “limited number of cases,” the company engineers the COVID-19 virus to “enable the assessment of antiviral activity in cells.”...
...It’s obfuscatory and confusing at best, and given Pfizer’s history of misleading the public, there’s no reason to take the company’s word for anything.

25 states hit Biden admin with lawsuit over climate action targeting Americans' retirement savings | Fox Business:
The lawsuit — led by Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes and joined by 24 other states including Louisiana, Texas and Virginia — challenges a Department of Labor (DOL) rule unveiled in November and which is set to go into effect on Jan. 30. The rule would open the door for fiduciaries to factor so-called environment, social and governance (ESG) considerations into Americans' retirement accounts, an action the states argued could significantly harm the financial interests of customers.

GDP report reveals ominous Great Depression warning sign not seen since 1932 | Fox Business
GDP report reveals ominous Great Depression warning sign not seen since 1932 | Fox Business:
The latest numbers from the Bureau of Economic Analysis show that the U.S. economy grew by 2.9 percent in the fourth quarter of last year, and 2.1 percent for 2022. While the White House was quick to take credit for the state of the nation’s economy, they might want to think twice. This latest report should have alarm bells ringing, not trumpets sounding.
That’s because economic growth is slowing down. Even the areas which contributed positively to gross domestic product (GDP) are not necessarily signs of prosperity. For example, business investment grew at only 1.4 percent in the fourth quarter, but that was almost entirely inventory growth. Nonresidential investment, a key driver of future economic growth, was up just 0.7 percent.

- What makes this particular event interesting to me is how careful both the scientists and the media have been in noting that this event was not linked to climate change in the least.
- It was quite noticeable, given how every drop of water melting anywhere in the world is usually interpreted as a signal of doom.
- Literally every single news story I checked–and it was quite a lot of them–prominently noted that the event had nothing to do with climate change...

The media ignored a very fateful event in the waning days of the Obama administration
The media ignored a very fateful event in the waning days of the Obama administration"...less than two weeks prior to former President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the Obama administration chose to give the “green light” to lift the moratorium on federal funding for gain-of-function (GOF) research, or research intended to increase the lethality or the transmissibility of a pathogen.
...Obama appeared throughout his presidency (at least publicly) to be leery of the risks associated with GOF research...
...Obama appeared throughout his presidency (at least publicly) to be leery of the risks associated with GOF research...
And in October 2014, his administration announced a pause on all funding of GOF research, during which they would conduct an assessment of its “potential risks and benefits.”...
This stunning announcement received little or no press coverage.
This stunning announcement received little or no press coverage.
By that time, the media’s obsession with taking down Trump and painting him as an agent of Russia was dominating the news cycle.
- The NIH’s decision to start funding GOF research again suddenly should have set off national alarms, especially since it ran counter to warnings from the scientific community. In a November 2015 report on GOF published in the science journal Nature, scientists concluded that “building chimeric viruses based on circulating strains [is] too risky to pursue, as increased pathogenicity in mammalian models cannot be excluded.”
- The recommendation to end the moratorium also flew in the face of what Obama’s Homeland Security adviser, Lisa Monaco , considered “one of the gravest risks for the new administration”: the emergence of an “infectious disease.”
- The President’s Council of Advisers on Science and Technology similarly sent a letter to Obama just days after Trump’s victory warning him of the very real threat of biological attack. The 16-page letter explicitly warned that the “modification of pathogens to overcome existing immunity or to be resistant to available drugs.” In other words, GOF posed a serious threat to national security...
