Recent warming since 2000 has been caused by cloud reduction. Not caused by CO2 increase and not caused by positive water vapor feedback. When you have a reduction in cloud cover, more solar energy gets absorbed by the surface. In this case, since 2000, the surface is absorbing (+2W/m²). This causes the surface to heat up (+0.6°C), the mid troposphere to heat up (+0.5°C), the surface emits more (+3.3 W/m²), the sky emits more back to the surface (+ 1.3 W/m²) and the sky emits more back to space (+1.3 W/m²). The surface emits more directly to space (+ 0.7W/m²) Simplifying assumptions: no water and no clouds.

Seems like every time I get a new computer, I get dupped into creating a PIN to unlock the screen. Still don't know how to get rid of it.

@MaryRuwart I used to think that. Now I think his problem is that he failed to work with leadership. He wasn't engaged in the process and as a result, lost any kind of leverage. His unwillingness to participate actually helped retain most of the net zero funding.

Point well taken.

Stupid Tariffs. I feel like I'm back in a third world country trying to get something nice.

“Those who promote social justice start with the idea that the whole economy is a pie that can be shared differently. But that pie is not a given. Wealth needs to be created.” — Javier Milei

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗜𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲 𝗜𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 The climate panic isn't about saving the planet—it's a naked grab for dictatorial control by the political left. I discovered this through a eye-opening psych experiment that reveals their obsession with forcing conformity. Now, it's fueling aggressive lawsuits against fossil fuels to dictate your energy choices. Mind-blowing how it all connects. Don't miss this deep dive.

@MileiSays And Not a single word about principles and third party. Just saying 😌

Javier Milei: “I am a true libertarian. I see the state as an oppressive machine which destroys rights, which destroys liberty.” “I see taxes as theft. I see the state as an organized criminal gang.”

@BBMagaMom That depends. Is that real duct tape?

Would you still fly on this plane after seeing this? Lol.A

Javier Milei: “The problem with many economists is that the model they love so much does not match reality.” “So they attribute their own mistakes to supposed market failures, rather than reviewing the premises of their model.”

Singer Gwen Stefani says she returned to Christianity in her mid-40s, which was sparked by a “miracle” pregnancy at the age of 44, after watching her older son praying "every night" that she could have another child. trib.al/zW0OywF

@MiltonFriedmanW What had happened was, the socialist started calling their studies economics and that's how economics changed.

Milton Friedman: “After the fall of communism, everybody agreed that socialism was a failure. Everybody, more or less, agreed that capitalism was a success.” “Every capitalist country in the world apparently deduced from that what the West needed was more socialism.”

@FAHayekSays Today, the IPCC controls all economic reason. That's where the money is at

Hayek: “Any redistributive policy requires a discriminating treatment of different people.” “Once government is entitled to take from some people in order to give to others, this is discrimination of a kind for which they can be no general rule. They are purely arbitrary.”

What do you think?

@Hoang_HQ Everyone except Jimmy Page plays the solo perfectly.

@handre When the state owns the means of production, nobody has any incentive to produce more than they need to. In a for profit business, owners profit by producing more than they need. This creates surplus of goods.

The Soviet Union collapsed because central planners couldn't figure out if a nail factory should produce a million tiny nails or one giant nail. Without market prices, they had no clue what people actually wanted or needed. And this wasn't some quirky communist problem—it's the inevitable result of replacing voluntary exchange with bureaucratic guesswork. Every government program faces this exact same knowledge problem. The Fed sets interest rates without knowing the true time preferences of millions of savers and borrowers. Politicians allocate billions to "infrastructure" without any idea what roads, bridges, or broadband networks create real value versus political photo ops. But here's the beautiful irony: while bureaucrats stumble around in the dark, every single voluntary transaction in the market reveals precise information about human preferences and resource scarcity. Prices aren't just numbers—they're compressed knowledge signals that no central authority could ever replicate, no matter how many PhD economists they hire.

@JonathanTurley Leftist Judge power play just got destroyed. The leftist judge's injunction was so broad that its “practical effect” was like saying: "Because of a problem at one ICE facility, every federal officer in Chicago—FBI, DEA, ATF, Marshals, everyone—is now under my control.”

...Here is the 2-1 panel decision: media.ca7.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/Opinio…

The Seventh Circuit just delivered a haymaker to Obama-appointee Judge Sara Ellis for her efforts to limit federal enforcement of immigration laws. It accused her of "effectively establish[ing]" herself "as the supervisor of all Executive Branch activity in the city of Chicago."

The fact that the cycle persists with the same timing and magnitude is exactly what you’d expect from a system dominated by internal variability with stabilizing (negative) feedbacks, not one being pushed into a new regime by CO₂

A long‑term trend doesn’t magically hide acceleration. If the forcing were large enough to alter the system’s feedback structure, it would show up in the shape of the curve.

if CO₂ were adding strong positive feedback on top of the baseline trend, you’d expect to see some deviation from the established long‑term cycle—either an inflection, a change in amplitude, or a shift in the underlying slope. Instead, the signal tracks the same multi‑decadal.

@EricLDaugh Is there a way we can do this without blowing up oil refineries? I like gasoline and oil.

🚨 BREAKING: Israel has reportedly just STRUCK 30 Iranian oil storage tanks, with one oil refinery in Tehran spotted BURNING UP Absolutely wild footage. Israel and the US are fully bent on CRIPPLING the Islamic regime.

I can tell nobody read this. Beware of Republicans who claim Uniparty.
