Climate models come with 'dangerous' CO2 warming baked in, code review finds

In November 2021, one of the main programmers of the NASA climate model Gavin Schmidt told readers of the Spectator that the track record of models going back to the 1970s, "shows they have skilfully predicted the trends of the past decades". Now that laughter has finally subsided, we have an expert analysis of NASA's GISS Model E with its 441,668 lines of pre-historic (circa 1983) FORTRAN code. With water that doesn't freeze and "negative" cloud cover, it is said that the claim the model is 'physics-based' is a term used in the same way that Hollywood producers say a movie is 'based on a true story'.

The detailed examination has been written by the experienced computer programmer Willis Eschenbach and his paper Climate Models and Climate Muddles has been published by Net Zero Watch (NZW). Andrew Montford of NZW discussed the paper in a recent edition of the Daily Sceptic, noting that climate models are at the centre of the global warming scare and back all the weather alarms promoting the collectivist Net Zero project. But what if the climate models were all junk, he asked. Somewhat alarmingly, Eschenbach's work shows "this is indeed the case".

Has Hunter Biden's decadent lifestyle become a metaphor for US society?

On July 2, just as the nation was preparing to celebrate Independence Day, the Biden White House got far more fireworks than they had bargained for as news spread rapidly that a bag of cocaine had been discovered inside the White House.

Two days later, Hunter Biden, currently America's most infamous drug abuser, appeared on the White House balcony, looking sweaty and nervous, instantly reminding many viewers of the Hunter Biden we know from the folksy home-made videos and photos found on his "laptop from hell" - a story that the consolidated efforts of social media censorship and mainstream media memory-holing had failed to suppress. Hunter has been caught on camera (or even made the pictures himself) doing all kinds of seedy things, from apparently breaking the ground-speed record while smoking from a crack pipe to having sex with prostitutes. So naturally, it should come as no surprise that many people, primarily of the Fox News variety, took the cocaine evacuation scare to mean that Hunter was wreaking havoc once again, this time right at the heart of the nation.

No agenda here: Rolling Stone, WaPo PRAISED pro-pedophile movie Cuties, ATTACKED anti-child sex trafficking movie Sound of Freedom

Cuties shows depictions of little girls being sexualized in a twerk-dancing crew.

The Washington Post and Rolling Stone both came out criticizing the anti-child sex trafficking film, Sound of Freedom after its release. Both also praised another movie, Cuties, which depicts a twerking dance crew made up of little girls.

The articles that both the Washington Post and Rolling Stone released about Sound of Freedom accuse the film of being associated with QAnon conspiracy theories. The film is based on a portion of Tim Ballard's life and the beginnings of him forming the organization, Operation Underground Railroad (OUR).

Rolling Stone said that actor Jim Caviezel, who depicts Ballard in the film, has given "speeches and interviews" about "evildoers who are harvesting the blood of children."

'Do you know who the f*** I am? I'm the Mayor': Georgia homeowner stands off with city's mayor who was later arrested on burglary and trespassing charges

A Georgia mayor was arrested after entering a house he claims he thought was abandoned, only to come face-to-face in a bizarre standoff with the homeowner who held him at gunpoint until police arrived.

Khalid Kamau was caught creeping around the lake property on Cascade Palmetto Highway around 6:52 a.m. Saturday morning by the unnamed homeowner who ordered him to 'stay put,' according to a police report obtained by WSBTV.

'Do you know who the f*** I am? I'm the Mayor, and I'll wait for my police to get here and see what happens then,' Kamau allegedly yelled back at the owner.

Kamau, who has been mayor of the City of Fulton since January 2022, later told police he was on the private property because he was interested in purchasing the home, which he believed to be abandoned.


Comment: Which is a slick way of attempting to make what he did seem less egregious and possibly even understandable.


The mayor was arrested on criminal trespassing and burglary charges. He was released from the Fulton County Jail that evening after posting an $11,000 bond.

Comment: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has a bit more to say about the lawsuit file by the City Council against Kamau:
In March, five of the seven members of South Fulton's city council filed a lawsuit to throw Kamau out of office. The civil rights case was filed in the Fulton County Superior Court and alleges Kamau violated the city charter.

"The mayor has repeatedly betrayed the confidence of the City and the City Council by intentionally and knowingly disclosing confidential information of the City for his and others' personal benefit since his election to office," says the filing by council members Carmalitha Gumbs, Corey Reeves, Jaceey Sebastian, Natasha Williams and Helen Willis. "Most recently, it has come plaintiffs' attention that the mayor has been recording the confidential executive sessions of the City Council — against the expressed wishes of City Council members."

A girl whose family claimed she was sold to a United States Marine for sex was found two weeks after she was first reported missing at the barracks of Camp Pendleton in California. A Marine is seen being brought in for questioning on July 2
A 14-year-old girl whose family claimed she was sold to a US Marine for sex has been found at Camp Pendleton in California two weeks after she went missing.

The girl was first declared missing on June 13, four days after some relatives said she ran away from her grandmother's house. However, her aunt claims the teen had been sold into sex trafficking.

The teen was found at the San Diego area Marine base on June 28. Days later, a Marine was seen being led from the barracks in handcuffs.

'We can confirm that a Marine with Combat Logistics Battalion 5, 1st Marine Logistics Group was taken into custody for questioning by Naval Criminal Investigative Services on June 28, 2023, as seen on social media July 2, 2023,' Captain Chuck Palmer said. The name of the Marine taken into custody has not been released.

French riots show that decades of mass 'colonizing immigration' could lead to 'collapse,' says former head of French counter-intelligence agency

Pierre Brochand was head of France's DGSE counter-intelligence agency from 2002 to 2008. Since 2019, he has made repeated calls for a radical change in his country's immigration policy over what he says is the looming threat of civil war.

In a discussion about immigration on the public radio station France Culture last April, Brochand issued a warning which found its full expression in the week of violent rioting and looting that took hold of France after the shooting of a teenager of Algerian origin on June 27:
"If we do nothing or if we do little, we are going to head either towards a progressive implosion of social trust in France, that is to say towards a society where the quality of life will collapse and where it will be less and less pleasant to live, or, by successive explosions, towards confrontations that will make France a country where one will not be able to live at all."
Now, in an interview published on July 6 on the website of Le Figaro daily newspaper, Brochand exposes, as Le Figaro puts it, "the deadly cocktail of a society of individuals based on openness and democracy and the arrival of entire diasporas with totally different cultural backgrounds."

European health officials are liaising with authorities from Poland to investigate an outbreak of bird flu within the country that has killed scores of cats.

At least 24 sick or dead cats have tested positive for H5N1 in Poland, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

In a report issued over the weekend, the ECDC said there were "several uncertainties ... regarding the source of infection" and that it was "monitoring this event," having contacted public health authorities in Poland for further information.

However, reports have linked the outbreak to contaminated meat. Out of the 24 cats which positive for H5N1, 13 were found to have been fed raw poultry meat.

Firefighters will need to lift the roof off a powdered milk factory in order to extinguish a fire that has been burning for almost two days on the New South Wales South Coast.

The factory in Bomaderry, north of Nowra, caught alight at about 1:30pm on Monday.

Several employees attempted to fight the fire before Rural Fire Service and Fire and Rescue NSW crews took over.

Shoalhaven Fire and Rescue Inspector Rick Jones said the factory was full of highly flammable powdered milk, which had prolonged the firefighting efforts.

"The product itself is something that burns very fiercely, which was evident yesterday," he said.

Comment: Will we be adding powdered milk factories to the food processing plant fires list?

Threads: Mark Zuckerberg's safe space

Meta's 'kinder', 'friendlier' Twitter rival might be the most censorious platform yet.

Ever since Elon Musk took over Twitter last year, the people formerly known as 'blue ticks' have been threatening to flounce off. Twitter, they say, has become an unusable hellhole, rife with disinformation and proto-fascist hate speech. A great Twitter exodus has been promised once every few months, yet still they have carried on tweeting.

Why did so few of them ever leave Twitter? The main barrier has been the lack of a viable alternative. Twitter, for good or ill, has remained the world's public square. But that could be about to change.

This week, Threads, the new social-media app from Mark Zuckerberg's Meta, was launched to huge fanfire. It has been explicitly pitched as a rival to Twitter. Within the first 24 hours of its launch, 30million users are said to have signed up.

Damascus has accused the British news channel of "providing politicized and misleading reports" about the situation in the country...

BBC journalists will no longer be able to legally work in Syria after the country's authorities revoked their accreditation. Officials in Damascus have claimed that the British news channel produced news reports on multiple occasions which provided a distorted picture of reality in the Arab country.

In a statement on Saturday, Syria's Ministry of Information alleged that the BBC "has deliberately provided, from time to time, subjective and false information" despite repeated warnings from Syrian authorities. The ministry accused the media outlet of basing some of its reports on "statements and testimonies from terrorist and anti-Syrian parties."

The statement concluded that the BBC had failed to uphold "professional standards," insisting on "providing politicized and misleading reports" instead.
