  The Lie That Net Zero is ‘Settled Science’ by aletho By Chris Morrison | The Daily Sceptic | February 22, 2022  Historically, the claim of consensus is the first refuge of the scoundrel; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming the matter is already settled. Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you’re being had. Let’s be clear: the work of science has nothing whatever to do with consensus. Consensus is the business of politics. Michael Crichton, PhD, MD, author, screenwriter and academic Humans cause all or most of the changes in the climate by burning fossil fuel. We must stop using the most efficient fuel we have, one that supplies 85% of our energy needs, and sign up for a so-called Net Zero future. The rich will get richer, since they will control state-mandated transfers of once-productive capital into new untried technologies, and the poor will get poorer. Holidays, personal travel and energy will be ...

  U.S. Accuses Zero Hedge of Spreading Russian Propaganda Washington (AP) -- U.S. intelligence officials on Tuesday accused a conservative financial news website with a significant American readership of amplifying Kremlin propaganda and alleged five media outlets targeting Ukrainians have taken direction from Russian spies. The officials said Zero Hedge, which has 1.2 million Twitter followers, published articles created by Moscow-controlled media that were then shared by outlets and people unaware of their nexus to Russian intelligence. The officials did not say whether they thought Zero Hedge knew of any links to spy agencies and did not allege direct links between the website and Russia. Zero Hedge denied the claims and said it tries to “publish a wide spectrum of views that cover both sides of a given story.” In a response posted online Tuesday morning, the website said it “has never worked, collaborated or cooperated with Russia, nor are there any links to spy agencies.” The ...

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) did something last week few members of the Biden administration and Congress have done in their public comments about the Ukraine crisis: offered a global perspective that goes beyond a simple recitation of State Department talking points. The Senate Budget Committee chairman and former presidential candidate has long been a critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s interference in the political affairs of other nations and assaults on Russian dissidents, such as Alexei Navalny...

  Ukrainian Ambassador to London Vadim Prystaiko Ambassador suggested that Ukraine might drop its bid for NATO membership – but he was quickly corrected. by Christina Macpherson Ukrainian ambassador forced to walk back claims nation could drop NATO bid,  By Vladimir Isachenkov and Stephen Coates, The Age February 14, 2022  Ukraine could drop its bid to join NATO to avoid war with Russia, the BBC quoted the country’s ambassador to Britain as saying, in what would amount to a major concession to Moscow in response to the build-up of Russian troops on its borders.

Ambassador Vadym Prystaiko told the BBC on Monday morning (UK time) that Ukraine was willing to be “flexible” over its goal to join the Atlantic military alliance, a move Russian President Vladimir ...

  Swastikas Spray-Painted Across Wilmington, Delaware By Hana Levi Julian A series of swastikas spray-painted across various locations in Wilmington, Delaware are being investigated by police in the city after they appeared late Friday night. Wilmington is the hometown of President Joe Biden. At least four swastikas were painted on signs at the Columbus Inn restaurant, a billboard on Union Street and on the Brandywine Counseling and Community Services center. “We’re extremely disturbed to learn of the defacing of businesses and property with swastikas in Wilmington,” the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) office in Philadelphia said Tuesday in a tweeted statement. “This hateful act reinforces the need to teach about antisemitism and hate. We know that law enforcement is already investigating and hope that the investigation will be swift,” the ADL wrote. “Any sort of symbols of this nature does make the Jewish community concerned and fearful of other acts of hate in the community,” Jennif...

  Canada’s Emergencies Act: What power does it give Justin Trudeau? Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked never-before-used measures in response to anti-government trucker protests and blockades. After weeks of anti-government protests in the Canadian capital and blockades at key border crossings with the United States, Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked a never-before-used emergency power to respond to the situation. “The federal government has invoked the Emergencies Act to supplement provincial and territorial capacity to address the blockades and occupations,” Trudeau told reporters on Parliament Hill on Monday afternoon. “I want to be very clear: the scope of these measures will be time-limited, geographically-targeted, as well as reasonable and proportionate to the threats they are meant to address.” The move came after more than two weeks of so-called “Freedom Convoy” protests by Canadian truckers and their supporters, who are demanding an end to all coronavirus ...
