13 million views. Even @ElonMusk commented. Twitter tried to censor it but just wound up exposing (again) the lying nature of climate alarmism. Added bonus: My explanation and warming prediction. junkscience.com/2023/01/milloy…

Greens melt down over "plastic ice" that would make it possible to skate anywhere anytime: "Some environmentalists are alarmed. Turning to plastic, made from fossil fuels, is fraught. Plastic production is projected to surge in the coming decades and will account for a growing share of emissions of planet-warming gases, said Allen Hershkowitz, a former senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council and the founder of the Green Sports Alliance. Editors’ Picks "“The paradox is that, while trying to limit leaking of refrigerants, they’re increasing the production of plastics,” he said. “I don’t want to see hockey go away, but this is a real issue and hockey needs to take a hard look at it.” "There is also the issue of microplastics, the plastic particulate pollution that has become ubiquitous in the environment. Microplastics have been found in human blood, lungs and placentas, raising concerns about their health effects." nytimes.com/2026/04/05/bus…

Excellent piece on the US defending Taiwan from the renovated Washington Post editorial board: "A bipartisan group of U.S. senators recently visited Taiwan and urged the island’s lawmakers to approve a $40 billion supplementary military budget, which could help deter a Chinese invasion. Yet the country’s main opposition party is blocking the spending increase, and its leader has accepted an invitation from Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit mainland China. "This spectacle raises an unpleasant but necessary question: Should the United States guarantee Taiwan’s defense if the Taiwanese don’t take steps to defend themselves? Taiwan is a vital node in the U.S. and global economies. The self-governing democracy, which China considers a breakaway province, produces about 90 percent of the world’s most advanced computer chips. A supply disruption caused by an invasion would make the economic shock from Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz look trivial. It would devastate supply chains for everything from cars and smartphones to fighter jets and GPS satellites..." wapo.st/4sbuWgN

President Trump wants to streamline wildfire fighting across federal agencies but leftists just want more useless federal employees: "Firefighters and multiple experts praised the concept of a consolidated agency that could speed up communications, given that a few hours can mean the difference between putting out a small blaze or allowing it to grow into a major inferno. They emphasized that how the new agency is implemented will be key. "“We believe that this current system is not built to deal with the era of wildfire that we’re facing right now and the intensity and the scale of the problem,” said Matt Weiner, chief executive of the advocacy group Megafire Action. “We need make sure we get this right”... "Critics, however, said the shift will further debilitate understaffed land management agencies by stripping out thousands of employees. Tracy Stone-Manning, the BLM director under President Joe Biden, said the agency had nearly 10,000 staffers at the end of her tenure in January 2025. She estimates there are only about 5,000 people left after the Trump administration’s efforts to shrink the workforce and the fire agency’s creation." wapo.st/41fnSVy

Renovated Washington Post editorial board rightly opposes legislation to block local electric utilities from turning off service for nonpayment of bills: "D.C. politicians, eager to show that they understand voters’ frustration about the city’s high cost of living, passed emergency legislation Tuesday to bar the city’s electricity provider from shutting off people’s power if they can’t pay their bills. In other words, the government will force a company to provide services for free. What could go wrong? " Maybe leftist billionaires like George Soros could pay the bills for those who can't versus pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into stupid "No Kings" and anti-ICE protests. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

Trump's "Fossil Fuel Imperialism": Sounds like a necessary goal. The world runs on fossil fuels. The ability of America to control of the supply might just be the key toward global peace. Allowing nuclear-armed terrorists and drug dealers to control oil supplies certainly is not. theguardian.com/us-news/2026/a…

We don't need government researchers to study wildfire risk. We need to privatize forests (which, alone, will reduce wildfire risk) and start logging. Create wealth and prevent out-of-control forest fires. nytimes.com/2026/04/03/cli…

Renovated Washington Post editorial board slams Maine governor for trying to out-communist her communist opponent on taxes: "Maine’s governor has spent decades in elected office. Yet for all her political experience, she is making the classic mistake of trying to replicate her opponent rather than be herself. Her socialist challenger will always be able to outbid whatever fiscally irresponsible plan she proposes. Better to run as an adult than try to mimic someone whose politics are as sophisticated as a college student who just got back from a semester abroad." wapo.st/4dp6ViH

Egg-treme climate hoax: Global warming blamed for smaller chocolate Easter eggs.🙄 Here's are the actual reasons, per @grok: - Extreme and erratic weather linked to climate change and El Niño/La Niña patterns — Heavy rains in 2023 (far above average) promoted fungal diseases like black pod rot, which rots cocoa pods. This was followed by severe drought and high temperatures in 2024, stressing trees, reducing flowering/pod development, and lowering yields. - Crop diseases — Cacao swollen shoot virus disease (CSSV), spread by mealybugs, devastated trees, especially in Ghana (where up to 81% of crops in some areas were affected). Black pod disease also surged in wet conditions. These issues compound on already vulnerable - Aging trees and structural farm problems — Many cocoa trees in West Africa are old and less productive (little major replanting since the early 2000s). Smallholder farmers often lack resources for fertilizers, pesticides, or new plantings, and some have switched to more profitable crops. Additional local issues include illegal gold mining (which contaminates soil with chemicals) and smuggling. theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…

More bad news for emissions fretters: March 2026 was about the same estimated temperature as March 1998, per NASA satellite data (0.38°C vs. 0.35°C above the satellite era average). If you're sweating "global warming" of an unmeasurable 0.03°C over 28 years after more than a trillion tons of emissions, you've lost the plot.

Four more points on yesterday's microplastics🙄: "Mr. Kennedy said Thursday that the federal government would spend $144 million 'to measure, understand and to remove microplastics from the human body.'" 1. Much research has already been conducted on microplastics. It has produced a whole of of nothing except fearmongering. And if you pay third-rate researchers and their thieving institutions to promote more unsubstantiated microplastics fear, they will gladly do it. 2. The body already has a way of removing ingested/inhaled microplastics – it's called excretion. No federal spending required. 3. US life expectancy, the most objective measure of public health, just hit an all-time high. If chemicals and other manmade substances in the environment are killing us, it's certainly not obvious. And if it's not obvious, $144 million in spending (60% of which goes to institutional overhead) is not going to find it. 4. What's another $144 million wasted when we're already $39 trillion in debt? nytimes.com/2026/04/02/cli…

Democrat Gasoline Price Hypocrisy: Even though the Obama administration advocated for $10 gasoline, Democrats are upset that gasoline has now spiked to $4. So I am sure Democrats will now join with Republicans to protect oil companies from climate-hoax-fueled state laws and lawfare that, if successful, would dramatically increase the price of gasoline. nytimes.com/2026/04/02/bus…

Microplastics are another hoax. All of us and have been exposed to them in the our food, air and water for our entire lives. Yet microplastic hoaxers still cannot come up with any credible evidence that anyone has ever been harmed by them. Microplastics are inert and are excreted from our bodies. RFK Jr. is not a scientist; he is a left-wing activist. MAHA is not MAGA; it is a left-wing activist group that has barnacled on to the Trump administration. We've seen these scares before. They are all nonsense.
MAHA Action@MAHA_Action

RFK Jr. just shared alarming data on microplastics found inside the human body that every American needs to hear. “Plastic has become embedded in modern life. It’s also become embedded in the human body.” “Researchers have detected microplastics in human blood, lung tissue, liver, kidneys, and human placentas.” “One analysis estimates that the average person ingests tens of thousands of microplastic particles each year through food, water, and air.” “Another study reports concentrations in the brain equivalent by mass to roughly a spoonful of plastic in every human brain.” “And this number… has gone up by 50% since 2016.” “This is not a rare exposure, this is baseline.” “Animal studies show that microplastic exposure can drive inflammation, cardiovascular damage, impaired cognition, and tumor growth.” “In one major clinical study, patients with microplastics detected in arterial plaque faced a 4.5-fold higher risk of heart attack, stroke, or death in less than 3 years.” “We do not ignore signals like that. We investigate them.”
