Every notable empire arose in the current warm interglacial we exist in. Humans always seek warmth. And it's been warmer than now for 80% of the past 9,500 years. The idea warm temperatures will lead to global disaster is a bad case of mass hysteria, just like witchcraft.

The UK should follow Trump's lead and withdraw from the WHO.

I've seen it from the inside as the director of the WHO cancer programme. It stinks. No real reform is possible.

It is not serving Britain well, we should leave.

Alfred retreated to a small island in the swampy marshland of the Somerset levels. Though this was all that remained of England, when he looked at the sky at night, I like to believe that he had faith that the language of his people would be the first to be spoken on the moon.

This movement became known as the Green Revolution.

But it wasn’t just about plants.

Borlaug also taught farmers to embrace modern methods:

• Fertilizers to enrich the soil.
• Irrigation to combat drought.
• Crop management to maximize yields. 6/

[Professor Karol Sikora @ProfKarolSikora]

Trump is right to withdraw from the WHO - Britain should follow.

We should work with allies and cooperate with allies.

As the ex-director of the WHO cancer programme, I can say that we do not need to be a member to do any of that.

The WHO is broken. We should leave too.

Here is what is going on.

It doesn't matter your opinion on Tucker, listen to Sachs explain what is going on.

That is 100% what is going on.

A thread of Rio de Janeiro Reforestation Then Vs Now

[Latimer Alder @latimeralder]

It is almost 50 years since folks started to try and frighten me about climate change

And almost 50 years of nothing very much happening.

No disasters. No catastrophes. No existential threats

Nothing to be afraid of.

When will they admit their scaremongering has failed?

After eleven years, it's time to update my London Underground concentric-circles-and-spokes map. Completely redrawn from centre to edges, it's so much better than before, and more geographically accurate than the official map.

"We're not in favour of unrealistic Net Zero targets.
We're against de-industrialisation in the West.
We've never believed in slamming our own economy.
We are in favour of nuclear energy."

The BBC was culpable in spreading state-defined propaganda during the COVID "emergency" but failed to disclose that it had suspended its responsibility to question government policy and normal journalistic inquiry. By definition it breached its Duty of Candour as defined by the Hillsborough Law - that will find government agencies and corporations criminally liable for such breaches. I'll be publishing an article on this later this morning on https://t.co/PXEQweyKF1
