Physicist, airburst specialist, planetary defender, & CSI Fellow. I'm critical of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (YDIH) which has strong links to global warming denial, creationism, & pseudoarchaeology. It relies on misinformation & fake peer review.

I'm not sure folks have realized just how crazy the second half of 2026 and 2027 will be for global temperatures – on the back of a record-smashing El Niño event. Here is my latest estimate of where both years will end up compared to global temperatures since 1850.

Fauci is a decorated American Hero who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, served 7 presidents, and saved tens of millions of lives. Yesterday they tried to destroy him — diary leaked, prison threats, F-bombs, the works — because he exercised his constitutional right to take the Fifth 👇👇👇

Anthony Fauci Is a Decorated American Hero. Yesterday They Tried to Destroy Him

Presidential Medal of Freedom. Served seven presidents. Tens of millions of lives saved. Then Rand Paul, Tuberville, Moreno, Hawley, and Florida’s AG came for him

Oh. So apparently I'd missed this development from last month: coveringclimatenow.org/from-us-stor...

Why Did NPR Fire Its Climate Editor? — Covering Climate Now

“It is a death sentence for us if larger nations continue to open new fossil fuel projects,” Feleti Teo, the prime minister of Tuvalu, said in 2024. Located roughly halfway between Australia and Hawai...

My explanation of how climate change is amplifying these wildfires ended up entirely on the @npr.org cutting room floor. Instead they included an extremely misleading of the supposed role of fire suppression and human alteration (expertly debunked here: www.theclimatebrink.com/p/canadas-bo... )

This idiot has probably never been to the BOREAL FOREST a day in his life. It is 5.5 times the size of Texas. You cannot "groom" it. It's burning because of climate change. The utter bullshit from these climate deniers. Canadians are sick of this bullying and they are not going to take it.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew: "Canada isn't working because they are so far left. This should be a warning shot to them. You better come to America, say, 'We're sorry, we're gonna mend our ways and do what we used to do and groom and maintain the forest.'"

In our ongoing effort to promote opinion diversity and encourage the open exchange of data and ideas associated with the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (YDIH), we are soliciting abstracts for this session at the AGU annual meeting (San Francisco. 7-11 Dec 2026).

The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH) at 20 Years: Scientific Revolution or Science off the Rails?

The YDIH first appeared in a 2006 book led by Richard Firestone and Allen West and announced to the scientific community at the May 2007 AGU Joint Assembly. Data from the book were presented as eviden...

“The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.” Fleeing. The vehicle was driving away. That’s murder. A legal resident of the United States is now dead. The threat to public safety is ICE. It must be eliminated.

Homeland Security: On July 13, 2026, at approximately 7:00 AM ET, ICE was conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal. An illegal alien departed the residence in a vehicle. ICE law enforcement attempted to conduct a vehicle stop. The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon. The driver of the vehicle was struck, and emergency services were immediately contacted. He passed away from his injuries.   The Biddeford Police Department and FBI responded to the scene. DHS OIG has been notified and like all discharge of firearms this will be investigated. This is a developing situation, and we will update the public when more information is available.

👏 BREAKING: Reps Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA) and Pat Harrigan (R-NC) introduce “Sunshine for Our Kids Act” to restore permanent Standard Time nationwide, as is best for health, safety, education, and economy! States would also be able to self-exempt. 👉 Tell your reps to sponsor!

United States Congress Mary Gay Scanlon Representing Pennsylvania's 5th DistrictMenu Press Releases Scanlon Introduces Bipartisan Legislation to Make Standard Time Permanent Default For Stronger Youth Development and Increased Public Safety Washington, July 9, 2026 Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Mary Gay Scanlon (PA-05) today introduced the Sunshine for Our Kids Act, legislation to restore permanent Standard Time nationwide. The bill would end the annual switch to Daylight Saving Time in most of the country, and make Standard Time, the time we currently use between November and March, the default year-round. The bill is a bipartisan effort with Rep. Pat Harrigan (NC-10) as a co-lead. At present, two states use Standard Time year-round, and no state uses Daylight Saving Time year-round. While this legislation would default all states to permanent Standard Time, it does allow for states to institute permanent Daylight Saving Time through state law if they so choose. A brief…

The term “climate change denier” was never associated with Holocaust denial until Michael Crichton created that myth in 2003. Maybe he was prescient. www.boslough.us/blog/michael...

Twenty Years of Michael Crichton’s State of Denial — Mark Boslough

Did author and Hollywood screenwriter Michael Crichton launch the term “climate change denier” and pretend it was a reference to Holocaust deniers to stir up faux outrage against climate scientists?

I would boycott the World Cup over this if I had been interested enough to watch it.

The NYT reports that Trump personally called FIFA President Gianni Infantino and asked him to review Team USA’s Folarin Balogun’s World Cup suspension after his red card Days later, FIFA reversed the suspension It’s the first time since 1962 that FIFA has overturned a World Cup red-card suspension

The most corrupt President in U.S. history calling in a favor from the most corrupt President of the most corrupt sports organization in the world. Surprising the whole planet wasn't sucked into this singularity of corruption.
