Retraction Watch@retractionwatch.com · 2d ago“When I looked carefully at the spreadsheet, I could see entire blocks of data that were repeated,” recalled John Loadsman, an anesthesiologist and scientific sleuth at the University of Sydney. “It was obvious that this was cooked.”
100 years of July sea surface temperature anomalies... you'll see important patterns of regional climate variability as the animation evolves, but ultimately, the story behind the long-term trend toward record warmth is driven by human-caused climate change. Data from @noaa.gov ERSSTv6. 🌊
“Patients should be advised that discarding of breastmilk after anaesthesia ('pumping and dumping') is not necessary and that 'sleep and keep' is now recommended.”

Bordeaux, France, has now recorded more days above 40°C in 2026 alone than during the entire 105-year period from 1920 (when observations began) to 2025. This is deeply shocking.
A biking route app I use now has a feature that identifies active wildfires, air quality, and wind direction. But do tell me more about how climate change is a hoax.
Our criteria for success are disastrously skewed. In my view, a successful person is one who does more good than harm, on any scale. On this measure, most billionaires are massive failures, while humble folk in my neighbourhood who look after other people are highly successful.
