This graph is scientific garbage masquerading as precision.
You're comparing modern temperature measurements with geological proxies from 56 to 252 MILLION years ago, pretending they have comparable temporal resolution.
They don't.
Mass spectrometers measure isotope ratios, not ancient temperatures or dates. Geological records smooth out rapid changes, and sampling resolution isn't chronological accuracy.
No error bars. No meaningful uncertainty. No accounting for geological smoothing.
And the cherry on top? They use RCP8.5, an extreme emissions scenario whose plausibility as a business-as-usual future has been seriously challenged in the scientific literature, to project warming thousands of years into the future.
So we have ancient proxy records with enormous uncertainties compared against modern instruments and an implausible high-end projection.
This isn't evidence of unprecedented warming. It's a textbook example of how to manufacture a terrifying graphic by ignoring uncertainty, mixing incompatible resolutions, and choosing an extreme scenario.

Denmark paid 71 million kroner for artillery shells for Ukraine.
Shells delivered: 0.
The "arms maker"? A registered software firm in Italy, sharing an address with an Audi dealer, advertising with video game and AI images.
Estonia had already prepaid the same firm 187M and got nothing. Then sent our 71M anyway.
No money has been recovered. We are a laughing stock 🤦♂️

Denmark spent decades building nearly 5,000 wind turbines
Together, they produced 21.6 TWh in the last 12 months
One nuclear plant in Sweden made 23.3 TWh
Oh, and nuclear runs 24/7 — wind doesn’t
There's one big reason Denmark has some of the most expensive electricity in the world

I call on Belgium's government to immediately descalate the violence, stop responding to rioters disproportionately, announce a ceasefire, and work towards a diplomatic two State solution with Brussels as the capital city of Palestine.

Les 202 milliards chez Euroclear ne sont pas « de l’argent russe qui dort dans un coffre à Bruxelles ». Ce sont des réserves de change de la Banque centrale de Russie.
Ça change tout.
1. Le droit international protège précisément ces avoirs.
L’immunité d’exécution des États n’est pas un détail pour juristes. C’est un pilier du droit international coutumier. La Convention de l’ONU de 2004 sur les immunités juridictionnelles des États et de leurs biens le dit noir sur blanc : les biens d’une banque centrale ne sont pas des biens commerciaux saisissables (art. 21). La CIJ l’a rappelé dans Allemagne c. Italie (2012) : cette immunité n’est pas un privilège politique, c’est une condition de stabilité des relations entre États.
Le gel, c’est une mesure conservatoire. La saisie du principal, c’est une expropriation. Les contre-mesures autorisées par le droit international doivent être réversibles. Une confiscation définitive ne l’est pas.
Et il n’existe toujours pas de titre exécutoire international définitif condamnant la Russie à payer une somme précise, opposable sur les avoirs de la BCR. Ton propre post le dit : 9 ratifications sur 25 pour la Commission des réclamations. Donc « ratifiez puis saisissez » n’est pas du droit. C’est un raccourci politique.
2. Réfléchis deux secondes au signal envoyé.
Si l’Europe saisit le principal des réserves d’une banque centrale parce que la politique d’un État « ne nous plaît pas », le message aux autres États est limpide :
N’investissez pas en Europe. Ne placez pas vos réserves en euros. Ne passez pas par Euroclear. Si demain votre politique déplaît à Bruxelles, on vous prendra l’argent.
Ce n’est pas un argument « russe ». C’est l’argument de la Belgique depuis le début, de la Commission quand elle refuse la confiscation pure et simple, et d’une partie de la BCE : l’euro vit aussi de sa crédibilité comme monnaie de réserve. Environ 20 % des réserves mondiales sont en euros. Chine, Golfe, Inde, pays du Sud regardent. Un précédent de ce type ne s’applique pas « seulement à Poutine ». Il s’applique à n’importe quel État dont les réserves transitent par l’Europe.
3. Ce n’est même pas « de l’argent liquide à verser à Kiev ».
Une part importante de ces avoirs, ce sont des titres. Les saisir, c’est toucher au cœur du système de règlement européen. Euroclear n’est pas un tiroir-caisse. C’est une infrastructure systémique. La Belgique bloque précisément parce qu’elle porterait le risque juridique et financier. La BCR a déjà obtenu un jugement à Moscou contre Euroclear (~200 Md€) et attaque aussi devant le Tribunal de l’UE. On peut juger ces procédures politiciennes. On ne peut pas prétendre qu’elles n’existent pas.
4. La rétorsion n’est pas théorique.
Toi-même tu documentes les décrets russes sur Metro, Nestlé, Auchan, Leroy Merlin. Il y a des dizaines de milliards d’actifs européens encore exposés en Russie. Exproprier les réserves souveraines russes, c’est offrir à Moscou le meilleur argument possible pour généraliser la saisie des nôtres. Ce n’est pas du courage. C’est de la réciprocité primitive.
Le gel et l’utilisation des intérêts extraordinaires, c’est déjà une ligne rouge. Transformer ça en confiscation du stock, c’est dire au monde que la propriété souveraine en Europe est conditionnelle. Les États qui financent nos dettes et placent leurs réserves chez nous n’ont pas besoin d’un dessin.

He asked ten times for the suitcase so he could change before meeting the Prime Minister. But Netanyahu didn’t care.
Yaniv came off the replacement flight into Ben Gurion still in the shirt he wore in the cockpit. The blood stains were the attacker’s. He apologized for it like a man late to a wedding. Netanyahu pulled him in, called him the honor and the hero, and asked how he’d done it.
Yaniv didn’t give a speech. He said we’re a nation of lions. Then he introduced his wife Meital and his daughters, because that’s what you do when you’ve just pulled a diving aircraft out of a hole and the first thing on your mind is not to look sloppy for the country’s leader.
The plane was about an hour from home when the lights went out and someone screamed. The stabbed captain got the door open before he went down. Yaniv went in, pulled the man off the instruments, called two others, and hauled the yoke back because the nose was pointed at the ground. He later said he knew what to do because he had watched Air Crash Investigation.
That’s a civilian deciding, in a split second under immense pressure and chaos, that the aircraft was not going to finish the job.
Western capitals will spend the next week talking about procedures and statements. What this video actually shows is the thing the West lacks in equal measure.
Israelis still move toward the door. They still put their hands on a man who is trying to kill everyone on the aircraft, then worry about a suitcase, then stand there with their children while the Prime Minister touches the blood and doesn’t flinch. That instinct is why our people are still here. The rest of the West keeps waiting for someone else to open the door.
I’m so proud, more than ever today, to be an Israeli. The world can hate us all it likes. We fight to save innocent lives no matter what the cost. Our enemies kill innocent lives for a false god and a fake prophet. And the rest sit terrified of shadows, watching their own demise, shouting at the only people who refuse to die at the hands of savages.
Am Israel Chai 🇮🇱💪🏼

A large tree trunk has been uncovered beneath a glacier in the Alps, dated to around 6,000 years ago.
The species is Swiss stone pine.
Today, trees of that type cannot grow at that altitude because it is far too cold.
This means that when that tree was alive, the climate there had to be warmer than today.
6,000 years ago aligns with the Holocene climate optimum, a time when temperatures were far higher than now, even with far less atmospheric CO2.
Earth's climate is cyclical and Mother Nature self-regulates.
Narratives of doom serve political aims, not reality.

Look at this chart.
These are American residency programs.
Red = foreign resident doctors.
Grey = Americans.
Some hospitals are almost 100% foreign. A lot of these doctors came in on visas. Some have been tied to fake credentials and USMLE cheating scandals.
I pay the premiums. I wait months to be seen. Taxpayer-funded Medicare GME money(over $21 billion a year) is training these foreign doctors instead of Americans.
And I DO NOT even trust these doctors !
Why should we keep funding this?

Brainwashed. No one even carney himself want to invest in Canada. That summit was a complete flop. He used Canadian pension funds and Canadian banks to pretend to invest. There is no foreign investment. Now he is selling off the airports

California has shut down 4 large conventional gasoline-producing plants
Phillips 66 - late 2025.
Valero Benicia - April 2026.
Marathon Martinez and Phillips 66 Rodeo converted to renewable fuels
Those 4 large gas refineries GONE because of California policies
So stop trying to blame the high gas prices on what's going on in Iran
Much of it stems from problems caused by Democrats right here at home

*EU asks China to VOLUNTARILY limit hybrid car exports*
hahahaha they're still at the phase where they think asking nicely will do anything. They are so naive it hurts.
Why the surge in hybrid exports from China?
After the EU imposed tariffs of up to ~45% on Chinese battery-electric vehicles in late 2024 (see the EV export numbers below), Chinese auto makers shifted volume into hybrids, which still face only the ordinary 10% tariff.
This entire state of affairs is a direct consequence of Europe CUCKING itself through the EU's Green Deal, which set binding CO2 targets (55% cut by 2030) and a de facto ban on new internal combustion cars from 2035.
The explicit objective was that Europe would simultaneously decarbonize and build a competitive domestic industry in batteries, EVs and related supply chains.
THIS WAS PURE FANTASY.
With industrial electricity prices roughly twice China’s, energy and regulatory costs made European plants less competitive at the exact moment they were being forced to re-tool by the EU.
Chinese producers, already scaled in batteries and receiving heavy state support, could undercut European prices on the vehicles that the new rules required. Once EVs were tariffed by the EU, they simply switched to plug-in and conventional hybrids that still met targets in order to avoid the extra duty.
To recap: Europe created mandated demand for electrified vehicles while remaining a high-cost producer of them. The surplus capacity China had built for its own “new energy vehicle” push was then exported into that gap.
This is why for everything wrong about China's dumping or other subversive tactics to deindustrialize the West, the first order problem is actually the LEADERSHIP of the West.
China did not force the EU's hand to decarbonize and regulate their OWN auto industry out of existence; they merely took advantage of the EU's self-sabotaging tendencies.

Canada already has a trade deal with the EU (CETA) but in 2025, the UK alone bought more more goods from Canada (6.4% of Canadian exports) than the whole EU (5.5%).
The UK's imports from Canada increased by 154% since 2021 using CETA and now we are both members of the CPTPP.
Meanwhile the US alone bought 73% of all Canadian exports in 2025.
Canada's second largest export market was the UK, then China, then Japan.
But Carney wants to become an EU "associate" member.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The EU doesn’t even use the trade agreement they already have with Canada, (which took 7 years to negotiate.) 🙄
Carney’s ‘meaningless’ EU offer unravels

It's terrifying, but practically every company that has contacted me in recent weeks has been offering to make us "compliant" with some new EU/state regulation:
1. One company contacted me asking whether we ship goods within the EU and whether we need help with the new PPWR "packaging" regulation.
2. Another company asked whether we already have an e-invoicing provider — and if not, we could do it through them.
3. Companies have been contacting me for years offering GDPR compliance.
4. Every now and then I get calls asking whether we provide mandatory "health care" for our employees.
5. Even though we ARE an IT security company, companies keep contacting me because of NIS2, asking whether we want an external security manager.
6. Consultants have already called asking whether we need ESG / CSRD reporting (sustainability reporting).
7. Last week yet another company reached out asking whether we need to update our "transfer pricing" documentation because of some changes in the law.
What do all these companies and their services have in common?
Their business is built on some state regulation. Outside the EU, nobody would voluntarily order their services. In the EU, you have to — because the law requires it.
In economic theory, this is called rent-seeking: entirely new business sectors created without producing any real value — the only "value" is being compliant with some state regulation.
They say the total tax burden in Slovakia is 64%. I'd argue it's substantially higher. EU companies have to pay for things that make no sense outside the EU and that nobody there would ever order without regulatory pressure.
In my view, half of the costs European companies bear are compliance costs for some European/state regulation. And then we wonder why we're not competitive with the rest of the world.
When you think about it, it's absolutely brutal.
Doing business in the EU is masochism.

Attended the first ever Canadian global investment confrence in #Toronto. It was like @ABCSharkTank The premiers of each province were pitching investors their deals. Everyone asked the same question. What is the path to permit? The country is trying to emerge out of an economic coma because foreign investment in new infrastructure ground to a halt over the last decade. I predict two provinces will be the winners of this pitch competition. #Alberta with oil and an abundance of low cost natural gas electrical generation projects and #2 #Saskatchewan with mega #potash and #uranium deals. The rest of the provinces did a poor job articulating the timeline to permit on their projects. You can't invest if it takes decades. #IRR is all about time. Prime Minister @MarkJCarney has his work cut out for him!
