The level of ignorance here regarding climate change is simply astonishing. This is an existential threat to the human species and yet there are still some saying things like, "It's summer" and "Just a hot day" or "warmer when I was young" Incredible!
RS Archer@archer_rs

Apparently climate change is a myth.

@Manin1797 @simonmaechling Thanks, the question that needs to be asked however is whether the risk of vaccination (genetic therapy) harm outweighs the benefits of “decreasing” spread. Undoubtedly captured agencies are minimising evidence of injury to avoid compensation claims.

By rejecting vaccines, you put others in danger. You reject decades of immunology, epidemiology, clinical trials, and real-world evidence involving billions of doses. You promote the idea that every hospital, university, regulator, and doctor on Earth is part of one giant conspiracy — while viruses, measles, polio, and whooping cough quietly come back. Vaccines are not perfect. But pretending infectious diseases disappeared on their own is historically illiterate. Modern medicine dramatically increased human life expectancy. The real danger is turning public health into a conspiracy theory.

@cain_rob @simonmaechling It’s not funny but unsurprising given the career destroying effect of trying to overturn medical orthodoxy. Barry Marshall and Andrew Wakefield are unfortunate examples of this. However the book is well researched and referenced, well worth a read.

@Manin1797 @simonmaechling Mao Cai reports 28% effectiveness, has also received funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and coauthor reports consulting for Pfizer. Paper 2 coauthors include Rochelle P. Walensky (former CDC director) and Caitlin M. Dugdale. I can’t see the conclusion of paper 3.

@MeanwhileInUA Ukraine elected a pro Russian government in 2014, it was the US that decided the democratic vote had to be overturned by financing a coup and installing a pro European, pro NATO puppet. The same respect for territorial integrity shown to Venezuela.

Meanwhile in Ukraine
Meanwhile in Ukraine@MeanwhileInUA·
Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO. He invaded because Ukrainians were proving democracy works. Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum puts it plainly: Putin looked at Ukraine's democratic movement and thought, "If they can do it in Ukraine, then people could do it in Russia. So I need to crush this." That's the real threat Ukraine posed. Not missiles. Not borders. A working democracy next door. Applebaum frames the war as a fault line between the democratic and autocratic worlds. Russia isn't just trying to take territory. It's trying to erase Ukraine as a nation, reduce it to a colony, and send a message to every country that the post-1945 rules of Europe no longer apply. Those rules were simple: no invasions, no wars, borders don't change by force. Russia understood exactly what it was breaking when it crossed into Ukraine.

Dr Terry Simpson@drterrysimpson·
What we “see with our very eyes” is exactly why medicine developed controlled trials, statistics, blinding, and epidemiology. Doctors once “saw with their own eyes” that bloodletting worked. They “saw” ulcers were caused by stress. They “saw” hormone replacement prevented heart disease. They “saw” antiarrhythmics after heart attacks saved lives. And then the data arrived. Dr. Mollie James has been publicly aligned with “medical freedom” activism, opposition to COVID vaccine mandates, and promotion of ivermectin during COVID. The problem with “trust your eyes” is that human beings are exquisitely good at seeing patterns they already believe. That is why evidence-based medicine exists in the first place.
Dr Mollie James@molsjames

@michaelZorn12 @drterrysimpson Thousands of papers have been published. We need to stop thinking what we see with our very eyes isn’t evidence-it’s the strongest evidence we have. Avoid boosters like the plague.

@simonmaechling Yes because science has become corrupted in a way that taxi drivers and pilots are not. Scientists write whatever will earn them the next research grant and even Federal regulators are hopelessly influenced by the organisations they are supposed to be regulating.

We trust pilots to fly us. We trust taxi drivers to drive us. We trust influencers selling detox recipes. But when scientists speak about vaccines, chemistry or pesticides, suddenly people reject expertise and think their internet search is equivalent to 20 years of research.

@EVCurveFuturist By and large though the electrical energy is wasted through entropy effects before it even becomes useful either through gas turbines or through storage in batteries. You don’t get anything for free.

We don’t need to replace 600 EJ of fossil energy. We need to stop wasting it. Fossil systems lose ~2/3 as heat. Electrification delivers energy directly into work, cutting total demand ~40–50%. The transition isn’t bigger than we think. It’s smaller. #SWB evcurvefuturist.com/2025/05/the-pr…

@simonmaechling When public health organisations receive 90%+ of their funding from pharmaceutical companies they have long ago stopped protecting anyone.

The most dangerous virus right now isn’t biological. It’s the belief that expertise itself is oppression. So when science tries to reduce suffering or prevent deaths, people call it tyranny. A society that treats public health as the enemy stops protecting itself from reality.

@TheKouk There aren’t many pay rises that obliterate your nil rate and 16% tax bands under $45k like the new CGT proposals do though. Or pay rises that lead to you being taxed on zero gains like the new cgt proposals do. It’s just very poorly thought out by substandard economists.

I have never known anyone to reject a pay rise because it put them in a higher income tax bracket. It would be illogical to do so

@honmattkean I think household incomes 20% lower, persistent inflation and higher interest rates is a fairly solid prediction whether the climate changes or not.

You can’t be a good economic manager in 2026 without being a climate realist. APRA’s modelling is clear: climate inaction means household incomes up to 20% lower, persistent inflation & higher interest rates. Ignore climate and you’ll pay for it. 🔥 theaustralian.com.au/nation/inactio…

Capital gains tax debate: Australia vs New Zealand NZ has had zero CGT for decades. I wonder why there are 675,000 New Zealanders living in Australia & only 75,000 Australians living in New Zealand?

@BarbaraPocock In an environment where nearly 18% are employed by the government and over 50% receive more money than they pay what is gained by employing people who say what they are paid to say? Are they suddenly going to produce reports on climate being much as normal?

Labor needs to respond immediately to the reports CSIRO will tomorrow sack a THIRD of the team working on Australia’s national climate model. Australia’s climate science capability is globally significant & locally irreplaceable. A shameful way to treat our scientists.

@just_brash Under the new proposals they will inevitably pay more, 30% minimum whereas PAYG workers could be on 16% up to $45k or nil bands. Why should PAYG workers pay less?

@Neuroscope_mp Modifying DNA in the highly complex system of the human body. What could go wrong? Let’s hope this nonsense doesn’t make it to production so that we don’t end up with another “baffling” rise in cancers, heart disease and brain damage.

🚨 BREAKING Scientists just gave 15 people a single IV drip. No daily pills. No monthly injections. One time. Done. Their "bad" cholesterol dropped 50%. Triglycerides dropped 55%. And it may be PERMANENT. This is CRISPR — and it just changed cardiology forever. 🧵

Sky News science "expert" claims that burying carbon dioxide under the ocean is necessary to stop climate change. "You have to try and stop as much carbon as possible from reaching the atmosphere." "You could plant lots of trees to absorb it, or you bury it underground." "You would quickly cover a small island like the UK in trees if you were going to try and absorb all the carbon produced by aviation, cement factories, and so on." "Burying it under the North Sea... is the best way forward."
