I have posted the cover of that magazine on facebook.  It always gets a tag saying it's false information, that a factchecker says the temperature was measured incorrectly.

I post it everytime Zuckerberg says they are going to stop censoring.  So far they have done this every time.

Joe Sanberg, a top California Democrat activist who decried the corruption of big Wall Street banks and started a company marketed as the “cleaner” alternative, actually propped that company up through blatant fraud, he admitted Thursday.

Sanberg and other high-profile Democrats started the carbon-credit platform and online banking app Aspiration Partners Inc., promising to plant trees and not invest in polluting industries. Its motto was “clean rich is the new filthy rich.” It was once a star of the “environmental, social, and governance (ESG)” movement that blended corporate finance with leftist politics, and counted actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Downey Jr. as investors.

But it was instead a scheme as corrupt as any on Wall Street, with Sanberg concocting fake customers for his tree-planting services to try to dupe investors into a $2 billion valuation, the Department of Justice said. Sanberg faces up to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to two counts of wire fraud, according to the Department of Justice.

 

Whenever there is arbitrage, there is graft and fraud.

What evidence they have it was measured incorrectly?

That it doesn't fit their narrative primarily.

DOE Climate Assessment Report: Feedback
Posted on September 2, 2025 by curryja | Leave a comment
by Judith Curry

A month has passed since the DOE climate assessment report was published.  It’s time to reflect on what we might learn from the responses to this Report.  Of particular relevance is the report that was issued earlier today, led by Andrew Dessler.

Public comments

The public comment portal for the DOE Report was open for 30 days, and closes on Sept 2 (today).  So far there are >2300  comments submitted, with several hundred currently visible on the Federal Register site.  The comments are being scrubbed for obscenities, etc.  I tried reading through the comments, the portal is awkward (each comment has to be clicked on separately, unlike this blog post).  Most of the comments that I’ve looked at are non-substantive cheerleading, attacks or general posturing.  It will take time to go through all of these to separate an expected small amount of wheat from the large amount of chaff.

Can S.F.’s weather measurements be trusted? One expert says the city’s record is ‘contaminated’.

Global sea levels have not continued to rise at the rates predicted by many scientists — and there is no evidence that climate change has contributed to any such acceleration, a new first-of-its-kind study has claimed.

The research found that the average sea level rise in 2020 was only around 1.5mm per year, or 6 inches per century, according to the paper’s authors, Dutch engineering consultant Hessel Voortman and independent researcher Rob de Vos.

The few HAM operators I've met were superconservatives.

The thought that V Corps could have piped in Swedish 70s pop into the 3rd Shock Army's comms network, at-will, just makes my pulse-ox hit rock bottom.

If they had any cojones, they'd be broadcasting every Israeli song at Eurovision. Not to mention classics such as;

The Chanukah Song by Adam Sandler

Give The Jew Girl Toys by Sarah Silverman (Explicit Version, of course)

And, of course, this;

Every day I bombed Sidon
Amongst mushroom clouds at first light
I could've also come back in a coffin
Every Day I bombed Sidon

Every day I bombed Beirut
Every day I bombed Beirut
I came back alive, I could've also died
Every day I bombed Beirut

With a light squeeze we finished with people we didn't know
We must've killed some by mistake
I came out alive, I could've also died
Every day I bombed Beirut

A major fire at South Korea’s national data center has halted hundreds of online government services including postal and tax facilities, Reuters reported.

The blaze likely began with an explosion of a battery at the National Information Resources Service in Daejeon city, about 85 miles (130 kilometers) south of the capital Seoul, at around 8:20 p.m. local time on Friday, the news agency reported.

That led to a “thermal runaway” releasing extreme heat in the server room, making it difficult for firefighters to contain the inferno, officials told the agency.

Around 170 firefighters and 63 fire trucks hurried to the scene on Friday, with the main blaze under control by 6:30 a.m. the following day, reports said.

“There were difficulties in containing the fire because of the nature of critical government systems being concentrated at one site,” he told a televised emergency meeting.

Server tech as of about 2010 enabled server virtualization with automated failover handling and geographic distribution. 15 years later we have better HW and SW technology, but dumber CIOs.

Battery fires in enclosed spaces can run away almost like a reactor. You just cool the walls and hope it goes out before the concrete decomposes too much.

New technology and artificial intelligence will never be a match for natural stupidity, I always say. No matter your tech improvement, nature will stand ready with a more finetuned idiot. In fact, these days we have enlisted our higher centres of learning to create idiots tailored to the highest positions, that in earlier ages were impossible to reach for morons.

Jordan Peterson has been talking lately about risk and difficulty. Its become obvious that the world of professional management has become soft and lazy. Recruiting rather than developing talent, outsourcing security, using AI to replace human decisionmaking, etc.

Yes, that Michael Mann;

The left-wing climate scientist and political activist Michael Mann resigned on Tuesday from his post as vice provost at the University of Pennsylvania. Mann stirred up controversy repeatedly over the past several months, most recently when he shared a social media post that compared Charlie Kirk to a member of the "Hitler Youth." Mann will remain at the university as a professor and the director of its Center for Science, Sustainability, and the Media.

I took a class at the local community college by a programmer named Michael Mann. He had several quips about "I'm not "that Michael Mann" meaning the director not the flimflam artist.

UNDATED (WKRC/CNN Newsource) - Millions of Americans using inhalers for chronic lung diseases like asthma may be unknowingly contributing to global warming, according to new research.

The study highlights that the propellants in medication inhalers, known as H-F-As, are substantial contributors to planet-warming pollution.

Experts clarify that the medicine itself is not the issue, but rather the H-F-As, which trap heat in the atmosphere when released.

 

Even more dangerous than Dihydrogen Monoxide.
