@ryankatzrosene Climate activist UK Met Office has to admit UK June 1884 was warmer than that of 2026.
And they hide the reality that they have in their own data set, that 2026 Central England June temperature by far didn't reach the record June of 1846, nor that of 1676.
🪶 Twice as many curlews. Same bog. The difference was management.
A survey of Upper Teesdale found roughly four breeding pairs of curlew per square kilometre on blanket bog managed by burning or cutting — against fewer than two on bog left alone.
That managed ground punched above its weight: 23% of the dale's curlews on 21% of the land, while unmanaged bog held just 8%.
And this isn't a marginal population. Upper Teesdale holds 1,764 breeding pairs — close to 3% of the UK total — and has stayed essentially flat for a decade while curlews fell by half across Britain.
The burning and cutting here is done by gamekeepers managing the moor for red grouse. A globally near-threatened wader is thriving on the back of it.

@Petagna Strewth you lot are a joke. Does anyone at the MO actually know how staggeringly bad Linwood actually is?
This is Lingwood:Strumpshaw Hill as you clearly don't know how bloody awful it is. More Cass 5 junk.

🚨 BREAKING: DOJ opens grand jury investigation into Marxist tycoon Neville Roy Singham and alleged money laundering or other financial crimes from his base in China to funding far-left nonprofits in the U.S. and the world
WATCH how the money flows.
READ our @FoxNews Digital exclusive: https://t.co/EuXm7HOe76
What I've learned from people familiar with the investigation:
🚨 U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton for the Southern District of New York, one of the country's most powerful districts for federal prosecutions, has launched a federal grand jury investigation into American Marxist tycoon Neville Roy Singham's financial network, examining potential financial crimes including wire fraud, bank fraud and money laundering from his base in Shanghai, where he funds groups supporting the Chinese Communist Party.
🚨 Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche authorized the investigation as the Trump administration seeks to crack down on fraud, money laundering and other financial crimes in the multibillion-dollar nonprofit industry.
🚨 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent traveled to New York City earlier this year for a meeting with Goldman Sachs Chairman and CEO David Solomon. The men discussed the role of a Goldman Sachs philanthropic arm — GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund For Wealth Management Inc. — that facilitated the movement by Singham of millions of dollars into a network of U.S. nonprofits. At that meeting, sources said, Bessent delivered a blunt ultimatum: Goldman Sachs could face scrutiny for alleged conspiracy in the funneling of the Singham money and urged Solomon to cooperate with federal investigators. Goldman Sachs is cooperating with the investigation.
🚨 Federal prosecutors are examining a financial structure that follows the three stages investigators often analyze in alleged money laundering: placement, layering and integration. Treasury, DOJ and Goldman Sachs declined to comment. Singham, his wife Jodie Evans -- also under investigation -- and the organizations in the Singham network didn't respond to numerous requests for comment.
STEP 1: ALLEGED PLACEMENT
According to the reporting, approximately $278 million entered the U.S. financial system through three entities:
🔴 Mutod LLC — $164,040,000
🔴 GS Donor Advised Philanthropy Fund for Wealth Management Inc. (Goldman Sachs) — $110,376,701
🔴 Likewise Conceptions LLC — $3,500,000
STEP 2: ALLEGED LAYERING
Those funds were then allegedly routed through six nonprofit organizations:
🔴 $167,540,000 to People's Support Foundation Ltd., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established with a hotel address in 2017 in Chicago and Singham's wife, Evans, on the board.
🔴 $68,748,701 to Justice and Education Fund Inc., a 501(c)(3) established with a UPS Store address in 2018 in New York City with self-avowed communists, including Manola De Los Santos, on the board.
🔴 $22,440,000 to People's Forum Inc., a 501(c)(3) established in 2017 on W. 37th Street in New York City with Evans and De Los Santos on the board.
🔴 $16,760,000 to Tricontinental Ltd., a 501(c)(3) established in North Hampton, Mass., in 2017 by Singham friend and fellow Marxist ideologue Vijay Prashad.
🔴 $1,330,000 to CodePink Women For Peace, a 501(c)(3) established in 2009 in Marina Del Ray, Calif., by Singham's wife, Evans, and her friend, Susan Medea Benjamin.
🔴 $1,098,000 to Breakthrough BT Media Inc., a 501(c)(3) established in New York City in 2020 at the People's Forum headquarters with longtime American communist leader Brian Becker's son, Ben Becker, as editor-in-chief of its pro-communist propaganda outlet, Breakthrough News.
STEP 3: ALLEGED INTEGRATION
According to the reporting, those organizations then distributed funding and support into a broader activist network that included:
🔴 People's Welfare Association
🔴 ANSWER Coalition
🔴 Party for Socialism and Liberation
🔴 Numerous organizations operating across Sub-Saharan Africa, Central America, North America and other regions.
Federal prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas seeking bank records and financial documents as they determine whether criminal charges are warranted.
A grand jury investigation is an investigative process, not a finding of guilt.
For this reporting, I traced hundreds of financial transactions, nonprofit filings and corporate records documenting how money allegedly moved through this network. WATCH the money flow.

@AaronBastani My mate always used to promise it would be his turn to buy the beers next week.
That never happened, either. I still liked him though, despite that. The sort that was often full of good intent but had nothing to back it up with. Nice, but utterly useless.

Here is Grok's summary of the links I provided to analyses of the "Hockeystick" and subsequent "Hockalike" studies, for those without time to go through all of the analyses.

Thanks, Prof. Unfortunately for you, the "Hockey Stick" graph of Michael Mann and the various "Hockalikes" were falsified years ago.
The original Hockey Stick was falsified by the endless work of Steve McIntyre and Ross McKitrick. You can read all about it at Steve's blog. Here's the link.
https://t.co/pIIFbWDHm4
The graph you posted appears to be one of the Hockalikes, PAGES 2000. It suffered from the same problems the Mann study had, plus a hilarious upside-down use of one of the proxy datasets. Information about that one is here.
https://t.co/vIQj5b3KBi
Mann tried reanimate his dead horse in 2008 with a paper called "“Proxy-based reconstructions of hemispheric and global surface temperature variations over the past two millennia”. I deconstructed that paper in my post below. I used cluster analysis, it's an interesting bit of research.
https://t.co/ZHJbaPkpWk
One of the many flaws in Mann's paper is that the method used actively mines for hockeystick results, and it will generate them out of red noise. See my paper showing how the PAGES2000 graph you present above uses that method. It will happily churn out hockeysticks out of any red noise you give it.

Frankly, I'm shocked that you are not aware of this quarter-century of the repeated falsification of the hockey stick/PAGES2k methods and data …
Best regards,

@toadmeister@mattwridley I think Toby misses the point here. Despite the planet never being one constant temperature in its 4.5 billion year history, it's vital that it stays completely static now & forever, despite us coming out of a recent cold cycle. The only reason we aren't is 100% down to Europeans
@musashixi@The_Tortoise_@metoffice You can see the taxiway/ runway in the background of the station background. Coningsby has Eurofighter Typhoon FGR4 aircraft from No. 3, No. 11, No. 12, No. 29, and No. 41 Squadrons. Despite the screening, is data from an active airbase really representative of the wider area?
