    Judith Curry:
    How Climate “Science” Got Hijacked by Alarmists

    Climate scientist Judith Curry, once the darling of environmental advocacy groups, says the doomsday consensus around climate change is “manufactured”. In a bombshell interview with John Stossel, she speaks openly about being part of the government-funded climate alarmism complex.

    @BGatesIsaPyscho
    Please can someone explain to me how fire can burn down bricks & mortar to the ground whilst trees remain fully intact?

    YouTube feels the need to weigh in: 🚩
    Readers added context they thought people might want to know
    Many trees are adapted to surviving wildfires and benefit from these “fire regimes.” However, many artificial structures are prone to catch flying embers (vents, roof composition, windows) which then find a vast abundance of fuels inside them to rapidly ignite.

    There has to be more to the account of the firing of Mark Latham than the one given to the media.

    An extraordinary intervention from One Nation’s federal leader has seen Mark Latham ejected from his role in New South Wales for “under-performance.”

    What is the real reason?

    So the reason the cops took over two hours to respond to Mo, I have a bomb, Abd’alla ( Slave of Allah) was:
    NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb denied the delay was “too long”. “I don’t think so,” she said. “I think three hours is pretty good. I know it’s pretty terrifying. The protocol in Australia is to negotiate.” On ya Karen.
    And there you have it. The ghost of Sheikh Haron (Monis) and Martin Place lives on. Interesting how they have completely taken out any reference to the religion. Just as they did with the Sheikh.
    Now wait for all the interviews with moozies and the fear of Slamaphobia.

    It is a western phenomenon. They are intolerant of Christian practices under the guise of “secularisation”. But they won’t mention anything negative about Islam because they are afraid.

    The Great Reset

    I actually read The Great Reset.

    Aside from it being so painfully dry and horribly written it took me 3 months to read it when I would normally read a book that length in an afternoon, it lays out exactly what their plan is.
    Here’s it is in a nutshell:

    Pawns in the Game

    This book is a warning to what’s coming if people don’t wake up. Technology finally caught up with their plans, and they have brainwashed enough people into the climate cult, etc., so it appears to be getting close to go time.

    The Guardian says Latham has been sacked because the MSM won’t engage with him after his entirely true comment. It’s The Guardian so it’s wrong but it is typical MSM behaviour.

    From the past week there have been some extra bugs in the blog system. I have been trying to trace and debug them. I was able to clear out the problem with the comment box but there are some others still there. I have gone through the code and tested but can’t find the source of the problem. One of these is the sidebar list of Recent comments that has extra spaces between each line. These spaces should not be there and many of you will have noticed this change. There was a Plugin update last week and I think that has caused it bug. There is nothing wrong in our settings codes so it would have to be from WordPress.

    I also tried to see why some commenters who have been approved in the past have their comments ending up in moderation but can’t work it out.

    Sorry about the bugs. This is an old system using an old theme. I will continue to try to fix or find a solution.

    If anyone can suggest what is causing these bugs, I will look into that.

    shatterzzz, I thought there may have been some connection to the Greenwich incident. I would agree with Pauline that One Nation shouldn’t be paying the bills. But why did it reach a stage where he is ousted from his role as leader?

    Latham made a big mistake in the way he responded to the tweet. When you reach a certain level of public recognition, some restraint before posting instant messages is a necessary trait. The excuse of “but he said” is no justification.

    He could have ignored that post and then used it for his own gain, for years to come. Every time Greenwich said something that he wanted to get back at he could have reminded everyone in Parliament and elsewhere that Greenwich had called him “a disgusting human being” and why. He could then show how he was taking the high road and being a supporter of free speech, he (Latham) was not suing Greenwich.

    Instead he has put himself on the back foot and is the one facing legal action. There are many ways to speak the truth, make one’s point and get support for it. Stooping into the gutter is not the way, especially when you are in a role of the leader.

    Destroyer D69, I don’t have the answer. Maybe the AEC needs to be asked the question. Wouldn’t this also apply to all the sporting bodies and businesses that are pushing their Yes propaganda at the public?

    Do Qantas employees and shareholders support this?

    I doubt we will get any answers about anything related to the Voice as even Albanese has not read the Uluru statement in full.

    Got questions? Here’s the answer.

    A PILOT has collapsed and died in a toilet onboard a Boeing 787 while flying from Miami to Chile.

    Ivan Andaur, 56, was flying flight LA505 from Miami International Airport to Santiago, Chile, on Sunday night when he began to feel ill.

    His two co-pilots were forced to make an emergency landing at Tocumen International Airport in Panama City.

    Paramedics boarded the plane to provide medical assistance but Andaur was pronounced dead.

    A nurse, only known as Isadora on social media, said she tried to revive Andaur, along with another nurse and two doctors, while the plane was landing after he suffered symptoms related to cardiac arrest.
