The US Government recommending that physicians train with ridiculous quacks and spend time learning about soil agriculture is about what you'd expect from the pseudoscientific fools in charge of the HHS at the moment.

Scientists are trying to solve the mystery of whether global warming is speeding up. A new study says it has the answer | CNN Is the world getting hotter, faster? Itโ€™s a big question which has been puzzling and dividing scientists for years. A new paper says it has the answer, and itโ€™s not good news.

Global warming has accelerated โ€œsignificantlyโ€ over the past 10 years, meaning the world may barrel through crucial global warming limits faster than expected, according to the study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

I know it won't make any difference to his voters, who pay no attention to what's actually going on, and think foresight is for pussies and consequences can be wished away.

But if Farage was PM, we'd now be in a moronic, illegal war he demanded we join 2 days ago, and now thinks is a disaster.

Strongly encourage all academics, novelists, reporters, bloggers, whatever to just email this account and state that you want to opt out of this idiocy.

Overload them with emails and make them regret they ever tried this shit.

U.S. Eases Limits on Russian Energy as Oil Prices Soar

This is very deliberate. Trump is purposely letting Putin fund his war on Ukraine. The Kremlin reported they spoke for a full hour today, the White House refuses to comment.

Trump risks his very own Suez crisis The US president is manifestly unprepared for the economic fallout from his attack on Iran

Trump โ€˜has exposed the raw fact that the US is no longer a full-spectrum military hegemon able to project power simultaneously in multiple theatres across the planet. It has superb armed forces and technology โ€“ but that is not the same thing.โ€™

โ€˜Sounds familiarโ€™: how the US-Israeli war in Iran parallels Russiaโ€™s invasion of Ukraine Both campaigns have been framed differently at different times, with dubious claims of defensive action and a curious reluctance to label it war

" the US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, said the US โ€œdidnโ€™t start this war, but under President Trump, we are finishing itโ€.

Throughout his own war, Putin used strikingly similar language. โ€œWe didnโ€™t start the so-called war in Ukraine,โ€ he said in February 2022. โ€œWe are trying to finish it.โ€

It's important to praise journalists who do this so that the others see you can get more click-bait and monetization out of being critical than from being a sycophant.
