Me when I was looking for my glasses while wearing them on my eyes.

Climate change is not a hoax. President Trump is factually wrong about that. But so are you, Senator. Heatwaves during the summer are no more evidence for global warming than cold waves during winter are evidence against it. What you are describing is short-term weather, not long-term climate measured over a period of at least 30 years. The average number of heatwave events per year in the U.S. have decreased by over 25% since 1895. The number of daily record high maximum temperatures (Tmax) set have not increased either, though the ratio of record highs to record lows has increased because record low minimum temperatures (Tmin) have decreased at a faster rate since the late 1980s (which is why ratios are often misleading).

@simongerman600 Canada (1962) has a lot to answer for.

What!? Tiramisu is younger than my dad? Also the 1940s saw great additions to our cuisine. Weird how young ciabatta is! Fun chart shows several foods that were invented surprisingly recently. Source: buff.ly/3u8c0Us

@ChrisMartzWX There’s only one science. It’s called science. And it can study anything in the real world.

If you need to append “science” to a discipline, then it's not science. That includes political “science” as well as climate “science.” So, when people claim that I stand in opposition to climate “science,” well, I do because it is as close to real science as astrology. The real science is climatology, which very few climate “scientists” actually do these days. Tinkering with computer models isn't real science. Making up data is not science. Taking physical measurements and building observational datasets to describe the physical world is.

The Project Sunrise @Airbus A350-1000ULR has touched down in Toulouse, France after completing a 24 hour 24 minute non-stop flight from Melbourne, Australia. The aircraft flew northeast over the Pacific, over the US and Canada, then across the Atlantic and south over the UK to Toulouse, crossing three continents and two oceans, with two sunsets and two sunrises along the way.

An excellent example of what a richer caring population can. Market led.

Three-quarters of eggs produced in the United Kingdom are free-range— Growing up in the United Kingdom in the 1990s and early 2000s, almost all the eggs in our supermarket came from battery hens, those raised in small wire enclosures. The living conditions in these cages are terrible. Birds get the space equivalent of an A4 sheet of paper. They don’t have the room to carry out their natural behaviors, such as nesting, perching, or dust bathing. That has changed in recent decades. You can see this in the chart, which shows the conditions under which eggs are produced in the UK. Free-range eggs have increased from just 10% to 75%. The use of caged hens has fallen, and the types of caged enclosures have also changed. Battery cages were banned in 2012, so legally, all cages since then have been “enriched” ones, which provide slightly more space. Still, these do not give hens the freedom and room they’d have in barns or free-range farms. Studies suggest that moving hens from enriched cages to cage-free systems reduces the time they spend in pain by more than half. And given that most eggs in the UK are now free-range, it’s possible to reduce this pain even further. (This Data Insight was written by @_HannahRitchie and Pablo Rosado.)

Georgia ranked 137th in the world for ease of doing business. 3 years later it was 11th and had overtaken Germany and France, while everyone was still calling it a failed post-Soviet state. A businessman named Kakha Bendukidze took the economy ministry after the Rose Revolution in 2003 and tore the system apart. He cut the tax code from 21 taxes to 6, slammed in a flat 12% income tax, and wiped out most of the licenses and permits choking every business. Then he fired the entire corrupt traffic police overnight and built a new force from scratch. GDP grew 7.5% a year and foreign investment went from almost nothing to $2.1 billion. No country has ever climbed the rankings that fast. Back in clown world, Western governments keep adding rules and agencies while growth stalls because real reform would destroy the parasites they protect.

This is a good example of why the old MBA theory that a top manager can run any company was disproved. A CEO has to understand the mechanics of their business. If only so staff respect them.

I meet amazing ppl all the time. Mia Hansson is one of them. 10 yrs & 58 metres in, she is stitch by stitch recreating the Bayeux Tapestry Her full-time job is caring for her disabled son, & no, she doesn’t have tix for the exhibition! C’mon @britishmuseum ©️BBC/BritishMuseum

President Obama tells Caitlin Clark not to let the media nonsense get her down and that she’s a great player. Then asks for a picture with her. Left wing narratives are in shambles here. Good for Obama.

Research has consistently shown trade and market exchange to be champions of democracy. Economic freedom has been shown to improve the durability of democratic institutions, while democratic backsliding is often preceded by restrictions on the economy. humanprogress.org/why-free-trade…

Today I learned rabbits can swim. Even better: their ears fold back into swim mode. I feel this information deserved to be shared

Wow. This is so like the Nazi. Mirror image. Awful propaganda.
