Prominent scientist backs up claim that there is 'no climate emergency'.

Patrick Moore, one of the founders of Greenpeace, said in an email obtained by The Epoch Times that his reasons for leaving Greenpeace were very clear: "Greenpeace was 'hijacked' by the political left when they realized there was money and power in the environmental movement. [Left-leaning] political activists in North America and Europe changed Greenpeace from a science-based organization to a political fundraising organization," Moore said.

Moore left Greenpeace in 1986, 15 years after he co-founded the organization.

Foreign secretary Liz Truss today was victorious over Rishi Sunak, her rival for the Conservative leadership and the job of prime minister. She was elected by 81,326 Conservative Party members (compared to 60,399 for Sunak), but the country as a whole is not enthusiastic about her forthcoming premiership.

Asked in the immediate aftermath of the result, 50% of Britons say they are disappointed that she is to be the next prime minister, including a third (33%) who are 'very disappointed'. This is considerably more than the 22% who say they are very or fairly pleased.

Four in ten Conservative voters (41%) say they are pleased with Liz Truss's impending promotion, but a third (34%) report being disappointed.

A 19-year-old suspect was arrested Wednesday in a shooting rampage that left four people dead and three others injured across multiple crime scenes in Memphis, Tennessee, police said.

At least one of the shootings was apparently streamed on Facebook Live, ultimately leading to the arrest of Ezekiel Kelly as a suspect in the shootings following a high-speed pursuit, Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn "C.J." Davis said during a news conference early Thursday.

The shootings began before 1 a.m. Wednesday and continued through the late evening hours, triggering a shelter in place order for part of the city as police searched for the gunman.

World Economic Forum futurist: 'We just don't need the vast majority of the population'

Here's a thought experiment: you own a factory, which you operate for the sole purpose of enriching yourself.

What do you do with old equipment after its usefulness expires, when you purchase new, more efficient tech? Do you cling to it with a sentimental attachment?

Or, out of practicality, do you ship it off to the proverbial glue factory, like the ruling pigs in Animal Farm literally did to Boxer the horse when he became too old to work - even after all he had done for the farm?

Officials in one Maryland county said they are going to temporarily enforce a state curfew for teens amid a "troubling" increase in juvenile arrests.

Prince George's County police officers have arrested an "eye-popping" 430 juveniles so far this year -- more than double the number from this time last year, county executive Angela Alsobrooks told reporters during a press briefing Monday.

The trans movement isn't just targeting kids but families

The point isn't just to break down the 'gender binary.' It's to break down the family in order to reshape society.

Evidence continues to mount that a concerted effort is underway between major hospitals and public school systems to indoctrinate children with transgender ideology and push harmful, sometimes irreversible, medical procedures on minors — sometimes without the knowledge or consent of parents.

The point of the indoctrination, though, isn't only to create more "gender-nonconforming" students. It's to break down family structures and parental authority. The goal isn't simply to teach and encourage transgenderism in our schools. It's to lay claim to the students themselves, over and against their parents and families, for purposes that go far beyond the promotion of gender identity. After all, you can't very well reshape society according to your utopian vision if something as solid as a family is standing in the way.

Additionally, according to the potential measures, temperatures in gas-heated buildings can be no more than 19C (66.2F), with water heated up to 60C (140F)
Switzerland is considering jailing anyone who heats their rooms above 19C for up to three years if the country is forced to ration gas due to the Ukraine war.

The country could also give fines to those who violate the proposed new regulations.

Speaking to Blick, Markus Sporndli, who is a spokesman for the Federal Department of Finance, explained that the rate for fines on a daily basis could start at 30 Swiss Francs (£26).

He added that the maximum fine could be up to 3,000 Swiss Francs (£2,667).

Dutch city of Haarlem.
Advertisements for meat products will no longer be visible in the streets of the Dutch city of Haarlem. It is believed to be the first city worldwide to ban meat product ads in the public space. Due to ongoing advertisement contracts, the ban will come into effect in 2024.

The Dutch municipalities of Amsterdam, The Hague, and Leiden, have already banned 'fossil fuel advertisements' such as air travel and petrol cars in public, but Haarlem is taking it a step further with a meat advertisement ban.

Exactly what kind of meat advertisements will be forbidden is yet to be determined.

Best of the Web: Specialists found narcotic drugs at positions abandoned by Ukrainian army

Russian specialists found opioid drugs and ephedrine substances at positions abandoned by Ukrainian military personnel, the chief of the Russian army's radiation, chemical and biological protection force, Lieutenant-General Igor Kirillov said on Thursday.

He stressed that Russian specialists continued to study biosamples taken from Ukrainian prisoners of war. He recalled that earlier high concentrations of antibiotics and immunological markers were found in their blood, which indicated contact with the causative agents of the fever with renal syndrome and the West Nile fever, which the Pentagon had been studying under the Ukrainian projects UP-4 and UP-8.

"Special attention should be paid to the narcotic drugs, including opioid drugs, found at the positions abandoned by the Ukrainian army, such as methadone, codepsine and codeterp, as well as ephedrine substances: t-fedrine and triphedrine," Kirillov said.

At the same time, he explained that the drug methadone was used in the treatment of drug addiction as a means of substitution therapy.

Kirillov recalled that in Nazi Germany during World War II, medical officers administered pervitin (an amphetamine derivative) to Wehrmacht soldiers to reduce psycho-emotional strain. The United States used the same drug during the Korean and Vietnam wars. "Such drugs cause addiction and result in such side effects as excessive aggressiveness, which explains extreme cruelty towards the civilian population by some Ukrainian soldiers, as well as the bombardments of cities in Donbass," he added.
