19 years ago today: Late great Colorado State atmospheric scientist Bill Gray denounces global warming as a hoax: "I am of the opinion that this is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the American people." newspapers.com/image/83464202…
Capitalism has been so successful at eradicating poverty, hunger, and hardship that it gave rise to a generation utterly detached from the realities of production, trade, and effort. They’ve grown up in comfort, surrounded by abundance, and instead of gratitude, they respond with…
"When you consider what an enormous windfall gain it is to be born in America, it is painful to hear some people complain bitterly that someone else got a bigger windfall gain than they did." — Thomas Sowell
Uncompensated care. Heard about it on @EconTalker . Fake prices, government subsidy, middlemen collusion…and we wonder why it doesn’t compute. Also heard about @SurgeryCenterOK where the model gets flipped and good outcomes abound.
One of the many problems of the modern health care system. What are some of the others?
So far this year, the percent of temperature readings over 90F in the US is 22nd lowest on record, and less than half of the same date in 1911 and 1934.
July 1936 was the hottest month on record in the US journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/…
On July 5, 1936 it was 120F at Gann Valley, South Dakota, which was thirty-nine degrees warmer than today's forecast. To put that in perspective, Phoenix, Arizona hasn't been that hot in almost 30 years. ncei.noaa.gov/pub/data/ghcn/…

Greenland snow accumulation peaked out way above the 1981-2010 average, despite highest CO2.
Been watching the “world’s ending” crowd since the global ice age in the 70’s……. We express only hubris when we deign to think we’re in control, Mt St Helen’s (1980), so much since. I loved George, 7 words…. on my uncle’s stereo, what a revelation
Mt. Etna in Italy 🇮🇹 erupted this morn’. Within three minutes, look how fast the ash was injected into the air and how quickly the pyroclastic flow moved down the slope. 🌋 Mother Nature is forceful. She doesn’t care about us at all. In the words of George Carlin, 🗨️…
Per usual, @ScottAdamsSays it best. The reason you are seeing so many members of the GOP lashing out and tweeting about DOGE this week… …is because they are finally starting to realize that NO ONE voted for them in 2024 Everyone voted for DOGE.
“The welfare state is the greatest confidence racket of all time. The government takes your money in taxes and then turns around and spends some of it to give you things. For this, you feel dependent on them, when in fact they are dependent on you.” — Thomas Sowell
Did you know? 🤔 🌡️ 38 (76% of) U.S. states set their “all-time” high temperature records at least 70 years ago. 🌡️ 46 (92% of) states set their “all-time” high temperature records >30 years ago. What’s more, according to Chapter 6 of the 4th National Climate Assessment…
The same people who claim that I need to write a paper and submit it for “peer-review” are the same people who actively try to prevent skeptic scientists from getting their papers accepted for publication in journals because they don't want to be challenged. There is nothing…
"Has anyone asked the question, 'How could so many people across the country spend so much time at night marching, rioting and looting, if they had to get up and go to work the next morning?'" — Thomas Sowell

At what point did you know Covid was complete bullshit?
