Zali Steggal just said on sky news that the cyclone approaching Queensland could have been stopped if we transitioned to solar & wind earlier.

She said it's only occurring because we burn coal.

She also said the wind from the cyclone could benefit wind turbines.

Why is the Sentencing Council outside of the control of the elected government? Ridiculous outsourcing of powers to another unelected body, just pass a law to give the final say on sentencing guidelines to Parliament.

Newly published research helps to answer the "if masks work" work, why don't they "work"? It has been known for quite a long time that the vast majority of the aerosols we exhale are under 1 micron, with an avg around 0.28 microns.

Despite this, like OJ looking for the real killers, the vast majority of mechanistic mask studies evaluate particles over 1 micron, and many over 5 microns, where not only are there virtually no particles, and those that there are, do not carry infectious virus.

The research looks at the efficacy of masks at filtering aerosols (as source control) between 0.25 and 0.5 microns. Not surpringly, it found that surgical masks are roughly 20% effective, KN95s ~40% effective, and N95s 70% effective.

Note, this % decrease is not equivalent to the decrease in risk of infection. This is because people can become infected by COVID (and other viral respiratory diseases) with very few viral particles--around 100. But recent reserach has shown patients exhaling up to 10 million viral particles per hour---enough to make 100,000 people sick.

To put this in perspective, imaging you are in 20 x 20 room. There are 100,000 invisible "doses" floating around. Does a reduction of 20% to 80,000 have any impact on your likelihood of coming into contact with a dose? of course not.

In our minds, we tend to view exposure to viruses as an exposure modality, similar to cancer. Reduce the exposure to smoke, and you're less likely to get cancer. But it's really more like your ability to SMELL smoke. It's almost binary. It doesn't matter if there are 5 people smoking across the room, or 1, (80% reduction), you'll still be able to smell the smoke.

Dr Sarah Cox told this committee suicidal ideation spikes during the first six months following a terminal diagnosis and then very often abates as palliative care support is put in place and experienced.

It is beginning to seem as if that evidence was just completely ignored.

The Department of Justice is investigating the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion program that was part of Joe Biden’s $740 billion Inflation Reduction Act. Created in the spring of 2023, and managed by the Environmental Protection Agency, the fund was supposed to be a “first-of-its-kind” program to address the climate crisis while revitalizing communities that it considered “historically left behind.”

But it appears little of the $27 billion revitalized anything—except the coffers of a range of environmental nonprofits associated with former Obama and Biden administration officials.

“The Biden administration used so-called ‘climate equity’ to justify handouts of billions of dollars to their far-left friends,” @leemzeldin, the Trump administration’s new EPA administrator, told @TheFP. “It is my utmost priority to get a handle on every dollar that went out the door in this scheme and once again restore oversight and accountability over these funds. This rush job operation is riddled with conflicts of interest and corruption.”

A Free Press investigation reveals that of the $27 billion, $20 billion was rushed out the door to eight nonprofit groups after Biden lost the election—but before President Donald Trump took office. As one former EPA official put it on a secretly recorded video, it was akin to “tossing gold bars off the Titanic.”

The eight groups were allocated sums ranging from $400 million to $6.9 billion. Several of them were formed in August of 2023, just one month after the grant applications went live in July of 2023, when it became clear that large nine- and 10-figure grants would be up for grabs. The boards and staff of these eight groups include Democratic donors, people with connections to the Obama and Biden administrations, and prominent Democrats like Stacey Abrams.

“These are some of the biggest grants to individual organizations in American history."

No, we always knew masks didn’t work. Fauci and the CDC just lied about it because they wanted people scared
