Twitter tried to censor it but just wound up exposing (again) the lying nature of climate alarmism.
Added bonus: My explanation and warming prediction.

On Veterans Day, remembering my dad, Joe Milloy, now resting in peace with my mom at Arlington National Cemetery.
1. As pilot in the Royal Yugoslav Air Force Joe bombed the invading Nazis for two weeks during April 1941 until Yugoslavia surrendered. He and his crew didn't surrender. They flew to the Soviet Union, where Stalin had them imprisoned because Stalin and Hitler were allies.
2. When the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union, Stalin released my dad to the British who sent him to Egypt where he flew Hawker Hurricanes.
3. Short of soldiers, the Brits put him in the trenches during the battle of El Alamein.
4. Eventually he joined the US Army Air Corps where he was the navigator/bombadier in a B-24 bomber, personally awarded to his four-plane squadron by FDR in October 1943 at Bolling Air Field.
5. Flying out of southern Italy, he was shot down on a raid over Bulgaria. Flying in cloudy weather and being mistakenly abandoned by fighter cover, his plane was attacked head on by a ME-109. Sitting in the nose, Joe manned the .50 caliber machine gun and simultaneously shot down the ME-109 that shot his B-24 down.
6. Though he was able to bail out, it was at such angle that he would up fracturing vertebrae and being permanently disabled. Joe was a POW until September 1944 when his Nazi prison guards skedaddled as the Red Army approached.
7. Despite his war service, the Truman administration tried to repatriate him to Yugoslavia after the war as part of FDR's disastrous Yalta agreement. My dad and several other Yugoslav fliers sued to stay but lost in federal court. My dad's cause was taken up by Sen, Robert Jenner (R-IN). Joe and the others were made US citizens by an act of Congress.
8. As an American citizen, he earned an MBA from the University of Chicago, flew during the Korean and Vietnam Wars, served as a CIA spymaster in Greece, and worked FBI counterintelligence, where he helped break-up a Croatian terrorist bomb plot in New York City in the 1980s.
9. Notably, in Vietnam, he voluntarily flew combat missions in an F-105 at age 55 to show his young intelligence officers how to do their jobs properly. They were afraid to fly close enough to the ground on photo recon missions.
My dad wasn't a man for a day, month or a year. He was a man from cradle to grave.
No transparency. No debate. Just an anti-fossil fuel raiload engineered by cunning Democrats in order to revitalize the Green New Scam. No Republican has defended the bill against criticism. All they do is cheerlead with empty talking points. @johnthune had no time for Trump judges, the Save America Act or preserving GOP control of the Senate. But he has time for this BAAJA garbage.
Ed Markey is fomenting panic among Republicans, lobbyists and trade associations so that they hurry to pass the Senate permitting bill (BAAJA) now. This bill is actually already everything Democrats and Green New Scammers want. It would leave Charlie Brown Republicans flat in their back again. BTW, the already-bad bill is getting worse with every amendment. God knows what a House version would look like. What the lameduck Senate should be doing is confirming Trump judges, not passing bills to build transmission lines for Communist China-dependent wind and solar.
All of MAHA is a junk science-fueled con. Republicans can’t recognize it because none them have spent five minutes learning anything about MAHA’s various cons. I have a lot list of I’ve cut since the MAHA nonsense began. Hold my beer. 1/

I can knock the nonsense out of MAHA all day long. 2/
Guelzo is just another myth-making propagandist for Mr. Lincoln’s murderous war. But real history is on the way.
So Senate Republicans haven’t done nothing since the OBBBA, they blocked boneheaded MAHA zombies from wrecking our food system.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. accused Senate Republicans of seeking to block his agenda by threatening to oppose certain nominees as he sought to rally supporters of his Make America Healthy Again movement. wapo.st/4zHfw8K
Sorry but these are naked talking points that do not wash in the real world of resistance bureaucracy and forum-shopped lawfare.
Here's a systematic explanation of why BAAJA is a big improvement in permitting policy.
It looks at the full effects (not just negatives) of the BAAJA text (not how much I like the authors) compared to the status quo (not what I wish were on the table).
teapawt.net/AlexEpstein/status/211…
I love the oil and gas industry, but BAAJA is not going to help it at all. The industry-stifling bureaucracy and lawfare are going nowhere. Only Hill staff, lobbyists and Green New Scammers will win. No one has explained to me how there is any other outcome.
The Senate advances bipartisan permitting reform 73-325 which is great.
Want to know where the heaviest lift is going to be?
It's not getting the Senate to pass the bill.
It's convincing the roughly 100+ House members who are either retiring - or got retired by the voters - to get on a plane and come back to Washington when it is time to vote on permit reform.
That is where the real lobbying effort is going to have to focus.
The difference between the mere words in BAAJA and how words in legislation get interpreted are best explained by the late John Dingell in this clip about how the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Clean Air Act with respect to whether EPA could regulate greenhouse gas emissions. BAAJA will not lead to what its supporters are hoping because it was written under the naive idea that words matter.
Are you kidding me? Look at what this lunatic is saying about the Senate permitting bill (BAAJA)—and Republicans are voting for this?
BTW, SEIA? That is the trade association for solar panels from Communist China.
President Trump said tonight that the Senate permitting bill (BAAJA) would NOT be used to build more windmills. Look at what Senator Outhouse is saying.👇
This is what Senate permitting bill (BAAJA) supporters support:
"Stopping the Trump administration's attacks on clean energy."
Who voted for Republicans to do that?
Does anyone really believe that the red-green Sen. Outhouse supports Alex Epstein's goal of using BAAJA to build more power plants, housing developments, and everything else"? Read what he says for yourself. No BAAJA supporter has yet explained how the bill will work in the real world of anti-development laws, NIMBY-ism, bureaucratic resistance and green lawfare.
If President does not know it, his staff is allowing wind turbines, including offshore wind turbines, to be built. The BAAJA permitting bill will only increase pointlessly expensive, eyesore, wildlife-killing and Communist China-dependent wind turbine and solar projects. Possibly President Trump needs more information or new staff.
"Companies involved in our national security should not be teaming up with Communist China against our national security," Milloy said. "The President should bar federal contractors with national security obligations from participating in a process that only works to the benefit of Communist China."

"Steve Milloy, a senior fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute and former member of the Trump transition team, explained in a statement shared with PJ Media, “We applaud President Trump for pulling the US out of the UN climate hoax. But not all Americans have gotten the message. We are concerned that technology companies like Amazon, Apple and Google—companies that are government contractors with national security obligations—are nevertheless participating in COP31.”"

BAAJA Unaffordability: Of course the utility industry supports the Senate permitting bill. The industry wants transmission lines permitted so they can return to building wind and solar, charging more for electricity and otherwise profiteering off the (to be enlarged) taxpayer-subsidized Green New Scam. Wind and solar are why electricity prices are so high in the first place.
More NEWS: @HouseBlueDogs is making a fresh push for Senate's permitting bill. In a strong statement, the moderate Dems group said "failing to act now would be an act of disrespect to those who placed their trust in us" to lower costs as part of election mandate. Read all in AM
The Green New Scam has been very profitable for electric utilities—at the expense of taxpayers and ratepayers. Building more Green New Scam courtesy of BAAJA will raise electricity prices and utility profiteering even more.
After the 2008-2009 financial crisis and electricity demand declined and then flattened, utilities were seduced into the climate hoax by the Obama regime, which promised higher profits from selling less electricity—a strategy called decoupling (i.e., unlinking profitability from volume of electricity sold). Now that electricity demand has picked up again, utilities want to keep the higher prices going. Green New Scam is how they do it. BAAJA will make this problem worse.
