🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump PUBLICLY RULES OUT giving Iran a DIME of US taxpayer funds

LFG! The fake news lied!

"We're not doing anything. We're not putting up money. Only if they're doing things right. If people want to invest, they can invest!"

"When you talk about billions of dollars, they've had much more than $1 trillion worth of damage done. They got a long way!"

"They'll be 15 to 20 years to rebuild what they have right now. So they have to behave themselves. If they're not behaving, they get hit again."

Lawmakers Warn China May Be Fueling US Data Center Backlash- the AI Data Centers and Reasonable cost electricity generation are as important for national security today as aluminum was in 1960, being against new AI-Data Centers is being against the U.S.A. https://t.co/h6BshNEpbu

Since the 1980s, the Sahara has shrunk by roughly 8%. Satellite data show widespread greening, a pattern that is playing out across the planet.

Around 50% of Earth's vegetated land has become significantly greener, an area roughly three times the size of the United States.

The dominant driver is not rainfall or land use change, it is rising atmospheric CO2.

Higher CO2 lets plants photosynthesize more efficiently, they lose less water, they tolerate heat and dryness better.

The effect is strongest along desert margins, across the Sahel, the Middle East, Australia's interior and the southern edge of the Sahara.

Rising CO2 is making the deserts, and the planet as a whole, greener.

Wind and solar look cheap on paper, but only because their true costs are hidden.

Power grids must balance supply and demand every second. Wind and solar cannot do that. Their output follows the weather, which is variable.

So every megawatt of wind or solar requires a matching megawatt of reliable backup. A 100 MW wind farm does not replace a 100 MW gas plant. The gas plant still has to be built, staffed, fueled and kept ready at all times.

Consumers are effectively paying for two systems, but only one is accounted for.

Think of it like hiring a worker who only shows up 30% of the time. The hourly wage looks cheap, but you still need a fully trained backup worker available 24-7 to fill in for the other 70%. That backup is required and still costs money even when sitting idle. But the extra cost is ignored.

This accounting trick explains why renewables look inexpensive in charts, while electricity prices soar in grids that rely heavily on them.

Globally, the renewable failure is clear.

In 2024, solar supplied just 1.4% of global primary energy. Wind supplied about 1.5%. Fossil fuels still provided around 87%. This is not a global energy transition. It is a costly experiment played by a handful of Western economies.

Activist: "Your cows are putting carbon into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "Where did they get it?"

Activist: "What?"

Farmer: "The carbon. Where did the cow get it before it put it anywhere."

Activist: "From... eating?"

Farmer: "From eating grass. And where did the grass get it."

Activist: "The soil?"

Farmer: "The air. The grass pulled it out of the air last spring. The cow ate the grass. The cow breathed some of it back out. It went back into the air it came from."

Activist: "But it's still going into the atmosphere."

Farmer: "It's going back. There's a difference between a thing going somewhere and a thing going back. You've described a circle and you're frightened of it."

Activist: "Then just don't have the cow."

Farmer: "The grass still dies in autumn. It rots where it falls. The carbon goes back into the air either way, just without anyone getting fed in the middle."

Activist: "It's not that simple."

Farmer: "It's grass, cow, breath, grass. Or it's grass, rot, air, grass. Same circle, fewer dinners. If that's complicated for you I'd stay away from the water cycle. That one's got clouds in it."

Astrophysicist Dr Willie Soon says the climate is driven overwhelmingly by the sun, not by human carbon dioxide.

He notes the sun supplies 99.99% of Earth's energy and its output fluctuates matching temperature shifts far better than CO2 trends.

Soon argues the CO2 signal is below detection as a primary driver and that past climate swings like the Maunder Minimum and the Little Ice Age line up with solar variability, not emissions.

Dr Soon calls the obsession with carbon dioxide political. You can tax CO2 but you can't tax the sun.

He describes an "iron triangle" of government funding, compliant science and media amplification that turns uncertainty into dogma.

Soon's message is simple: The climate system is solar driven, the CO2 narrative is wildly overstated and the real priority should be adaptation and affordable energy, not pretending we can regulate the sun.

Well stated! Thank you Peter Clack

CO₂ does not control the climate. It never has. It is not the master dial of the Earth’s temperature, nor is it the architect of our modern anxieties.

Carbon dioxide doesn't cause excessive rainfall, droughts, or the collapse of coastal cliffs. Nor is it responsible for the fractures in human society—terrorism, urban violence, obesity or the drug crisis. These are the products of a human civilization that has survived its own annihilation by the narrowest of margins, persisting for 300,000 years largely through a stroke of cosmic luck.

Yet, for four decades, a relentless climate war has force-fed the world a diet of crisis and warming hysteria. It insists that CO₂ is the root of all evil—that it is our fault and it is the gas's fault. But the truth is indifferent: CO₂ doesn't care. It is not demonic. It is not pollution. It is the foundation of life on Earth.

Without it, Earth would be a silent, sterile rock, inhabited only by bacteria. It was CO₂ that empowered cyanobacteria to unlock the miracle of photosynthesis, slowly flooding the world with the 'waste product' we call oxygen. Before this, the oceans were dark with iron, the skies were not blue, and the world was effectively lifeless. We should be thankful for this gas of life, rather than inventing doomsday scenarios to vilify it.

If we look at the true scale of our planet, the single greatest factor affecting Earth’s geology is tectonic continental flow. This slow, majestic dance of crustal plates shapes our continents and redirects the great ocean currents. This is nature at work.

Today, CO₂ is a mere trace gas at 427 ppm (0.04%). While it is a mighty driver for biology, it is at some of its lowest levels in planetary history. During the Cambrian Period, concentrations were upwards of 4,000 to 8,000 ppm. If those massive levels did not trigger an 'irreversible environmental collapse', it is illogical to assume today’s trace amounts will.

Furthermore, water vapor remains the dominant greenhouse gas, reaching concentrations of 40,000 ppm (4%) in the tropics. It is responsible for the vast majority of the greenhouse effect, yet it is sidelined in favor of the carbon narrative.

History matters. For hundreds of millions of years, CO₂ has not been the deciding factor in global temperature. Homo sapiens evolved during the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, which began 34 million years ago when Antarctica became entombed in ice. Our entire history has unfolded within the Quaternary glaciation, surviving 100,000-year cycles of icehouse conditions.

Almost every meaningful invention, every empire, and every leap in human progress occurred within the brief, warm window of the Holocene. We have never not lived in an ice age. We have survived global upheavals before, but we may not survive a self-imposed collapse into a new medieval dark age driven by ideological fear.

Thank you Senator Kennedy. A huge yes🇺🇸🇺🇸

[Right Pulse News @RightPulseNewss]

Sen. Kennedy’s bill just moved forward, and it hits Congress where it hurts: NO paycheck for senators during a shutdown.

If they can’t keep the government open, why should taxpayers keep paying them?

Do you firmly support this?

A. Huge Yes
B. No

IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!

[Richard F Storm @rfstormsea]

Yes, I agree🇺🇸🇺🇸
