well it is truly delightful conversing with you
please suggest an experiment which would provide evidence to support the anthropogenic climate crisis hypothesis
why am i allegedly dishonest ?
what, because ~97% of 'climate scientists' disagree with you

@RoyPentland @TimAllmanWriter @Joerg25257102 @bootcanyon @GrossWeather evidence for an anthropogenic climate crisis another two earth systems would be needed. one would have to be identical to how our planet was in 1950 and then be subjected to the identical post 1950 conditions
and the other would be the control omitting the anthropogenic effect

the sun supplies the earth with energy
but
it's what happens to that energy that has changed due to the greenhouse gases !!!

The stoush between journalist, Sarah Ferguson, and @s_m_marandi on ABC's 730 on Thursday evening has attracted international as well as local interest, primarily because of Professor Marandi's refusal to accept loaded expressions and assumptive questions without challenge, his clear statements of factual and historical backgrounds and his direct calling out of Ferguson's journalism.

It's interesting watching the interview but the personal stoush shouldn't be permitted to overshadow the very real significance of some of Professor Marandi's comments.

Although he does not speak officially for the Iranian government he mentioned the illegality of the US/Israeli war on Iran and inferentially of the US holding of Iran's stolen assets; the US violations of the MOU on the one hand and the legality of Iran's actions in accordance with it on the other, and on more than one occasion emphasised Australia's support for the illegal war on Iran and the genocide in Palestine.

There can be no doubt that Iran, the rest of the Muslim world and probably the whole world, observed with raised eyebrows PM Albanese's plunge over the cliff as the first leader of any country to publicly support the illegal US/Israeli invasion of Iran, our supply of a spyplane and missiles to the UAE and our ongoing diplomatic and economic relations with Israel, as well as supplying it with at least parts of military equipment or materiel – in contravention of our legal obligations under international law - throughout its genocide in Gaza and possibly the West Bank and Lebanon.

Now couple that with Pat Conroy’s recent announcement to the world at the NATO summit, that Australia should relinquish its position of relatively secure geographical isolation to join unmeritorious overseas wars in which it has no direct interest and you can see Australia's continuing fall from grace as an international actor of integrity and credibility.

When the current conflict subsides Iran is likely to retain control of the Strait of Hormuz and a chokehold on the world's supply of oil and petrochemical products, including to the refineries in Southeast Asia that provide Australia with fuel. How Iran might exercise its power to control these resources might be open to question but one can clearly infer from Professor Marandi's comments that Iran will not be doing Australia any favours.

Whether we like it or not, we reap what our political classes sow. Little wonder that Linda Reynolds said in her evidence before the AUKUS Public Inquiry that parliament can never be permitted to decide whether the country should go to war because the parliament would never say yes.

Can someone “please explain” to One Nation, the difference between a slogan and a fully costed and economically modelled policy. They seem to not understand the difference.

While you’re at it; perhaps also explain that an entire platform built around nothing but random, indiscriminate cuts to government spending without any meaningful evidence of inefficiency beyond “I don’t like it” and without any associated plan to replace essential services is not going to “make Australia great” (again)…

BREAKING: French Senator Claude Malhuret TORCHES Trump and his alcoholic, drug-addicted administration on the floor of the Luxembourg Palace: "Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction!"

This might be the greatest MAGA takedown of all time. Nobody was spared...

"A year ago, here in France, I compared Trump's presidency to Nero's Court. I was wrong. It's the miracle court. An anti-vaxxer, former heroin addict as Minister of Health," he said, referring to RFK Jr.

Malhuret's comparison to the mad Emperor Nero is fitting. It's said that he fiddled while Rome burned. In Trump's case, he's building a ballroom while the entire world goes up in flames.

"A climate-skeptic Minister of Economy. An alcoholic TV host, Minister of the Armed Forces," Malhuret continued, referring to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

"An old Qatar agent, Minister of Justice. A groupie of Putin, Minister of National Security," Malhuret went on, referring to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Bondi previously worked for the Ballard Partners firm which raked in $115,000 a month by lobbying on behalf of Qatar.

"A Turkish proverb says 'When a clown settles in a palace, he does not become king, it is the palace that becomes a circus," said Malhuret. "His fine team has decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since the creation of the Board of Peace, Trump has triggered more military strikes than Biden during his entire term."

"Every time the Epstein affair resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world and cause a distraction," he continued. "Bomb more to win more."

This is how the world now sees the American president: as a pedophile desperately exploiting his role as commander-in-chief to obscure the fact that he preyed on children with his long-time pal Jeffrey Epstein.

"There isn't a single country where Trump did not take advantage of the situation to enrich himself without ever forgetting his family. A Boeing plane offered by Qatar," he said, referring to the $400 million jet that Qatar "gifted" to Trump. "Investment in all Gulf projects or elsewhere. Stock market manipulation that only a few insiders benefit from."

"Any one of these conflicts of interest would have caused an immediate procedure of impeachment here," Malhuret. "But we are not here. We are in MAGA's America where public business is conducted in favor of private interests."

Rarely have we heard such an exhaustive yet succinct distillation of the Trump administration's rampant criminality and incompetence. By focusing on individual Cabinet members and what makes them uniquely unfit for office and then expanding the aperture to the broader patterns of corruption and malignancy, Malhuret delivered a master class in political messaging.

Every mainstream outlet in the U.S. should be running this speech to show Americans what the world thinks of our leaders.

Since they won't, please make sure to like and share to spread this far and wide!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you’re wrong. The climate has been relatively stable in the past few thousand years, which is a key reason humans flourished. Rapid climate change is BAD for human civilization. And btw, Earth was COOLING until the Industrial Revolution.

[BreakThrough News @BTnewsroom]

After US Ambassador to the UN Mike Walz accused Cuba of repressing and imprisoning political dissidents, Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla fired back.

Presenting a photograph of Renee Nicole Good to the UN General Assembly, he states bluntly to Waltz, "This woman cannot be released from jail – because she was murdered by ICE."

Showing image after image of ICE raids and repression of protestors, Rodríguez Parrilla says simply, "This isn't Cuba. This is in the US."
