It’s the End of the Age, NYTimesies

Article by Christopher Chantill.

Quotes:

It looks like our liberal friends wanted to use the firing of Jimmy Kimmel as a narrative to neuter the Charlie Kirk assassination. That was then. But now, after the speech by Charlie’s widow, Erika Kirk, who cares?

[. . .]

Twenty years ago, Lukacs wrote that the Modern Age at its height was the Age of the Bourgeois, for its minds and creators were mostly of bourgeois origins and status that replaced the nobles of the Middle Ages.

I say that the new age will be an age of the ordinary. The future will belong to energetic youngsters like the TPUSAers we saw and heard at the Charlie Kirk memorial. And his widow, Erika Kirk.

It’s okay, NYTimesies. We forgive you.

The “Climate Change” Danger

Review of the book “Fossil Future: Why Global Human Florishing Requires More Oil, Coal, and Natural Gas – Not Less”, by Lew Rockwell.

Quote:

Epstein thinks that the danger from global warming has been exaggerated, but though he presents extensive evidence in support of this, his main contribution lies elsewhere. He argues that modern civilization depends on fossil fuels and that far from curtailing their use, we need to spread them to the impoverished parts of the world. So great are the benefits from using the fuels that only a true “end of the world” nightmare caused by CO2 emission could require that we shift to other energy sources, and despite the alarmists’ caterwauling, this nightmare is most unlikely to occur. Moreover, Epstein holds that the benefits of fossil fuels are so obvious that only a defect in thinking could have induced people to ignore them. He is a philosopher as well as an energy economist, and he expertly identifies the false thought pattern that has led to our current confusions.

Epstein says, “Whenever we hear about what the ‘experts’ think, we need to keep in mind that most of us have no direct access to what most expert researchers in the field think. We are being told what experts think through a system of institutions and people…. Understanding how this system, which I call our ‘knowledge system,’ works and how it can go wrong is the key to being able to spot when what we’re told the ‘experts’ think is very wrong—about fossil fuels or anything else.”

‘Settled Science’ Is Getting Unsettled as Government Support Wanes

Article (referring to the US government) by H. Sterling Burnett.

Extract:

For the first time in more than a decade, climate alarmists must seriously engage with climate realists on climate science questions. Recently, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) release of “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate,” by a group of prominent scientists including John Christy, Ph.D.; Judith Curry, Ph.D.; Steven Koonin, Ph.D.; Ross McKitrick, Ph.D.; and Roy Spencer, Ph.D., has forced alarmists to address realists’ longstanding questions, concerns, and critiques of the argument that humans are causing dangerous climate change, rather than dismissing them out of hand because the “science is settled.”

The DOE report, among other things, debunks claims that climate change is causing worsening extreme weather events, discusses why rising carbon dioxide (CO2) levels have a decreasing influence over global temperatures, and how the same increase in CO2 is causing a beneficial global greening, and it examines the myriad currently poorly understood natural factors that complicate attributing rising temperatures and changes in climate to human energy use.

UK Met Office Flirts With Conspiracy Theory as it Slams Critics of Its ‘Junk’ Temperature Measuring Sites

Article by Chris Morrison.

The UK Met Office has lurched into conspiracy theory territory in a desperate attempt to rescue scientific credibility in its Net Zero-weaponised ‘junk’ temperature measuring network. In a recent public pronouncement, it claimed: “The efforts of a small number of people to undermine the integrity of Met Office observations by obscuring or misrepresenting facts is an attempt to undermine decades of robust science around the world’s changing climate.” The astonishing outburst relates of course to the recent revelations of the Daily Sceptic and a number of citizen sleuths. In March 2024, the Daily Sceptic disclosed that nearly 80% of all UK measuring sites are so poorly located they have massive temperature ‘uncertainties’. Meanwhile, Ray Sanders and Dr Eric Huxter have provided convincing proof of the lamentable state of the unnatural heat-ravaged network and its tendency to produce elevated temperatures and short-term heat spikes.

On the battle between Harvard and the Trump Administration

Jordan Peterson is angrier than ever.

He attacks Harvard University, but also the university system and the recent degeneration in scientific publications in general. Also the New York times in particular, over their misreporting of the battle between Harvard and Trump.

Here’s the video description:

Dr. Jordan Peterson breaks down what the media has framed as a battle between Harvard University and the Trump administration—but it’s much deeper than that. Peterson exposes the ideological decay at the heart of elite academic institutions, driven by the dogma of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and enforced through cowardice, corruption, and groupthink.

From firsthand experience at Harvard, McGill, and the University of Toronto, Peterson connects the dots between academia’s collapse and its ripple effect on society. With insights into why DEI statements are eroding scientific credibility, how universities became ideological factories, and why the future of higher education may lie in alternatives like Peterson Academy, this episode is a must-watch for anyone who cares about truth, merit, and intellectual freedom. This episode was filmed on April 30th, 2025.

Trump Administration Finally Pulls the Plug on the Climate Fear Factory

Article by Charles Rotter.

The long-overdue showdown with America’s most bloated, self-important arm of climate alarmism finally arrived this week — and what a spectacle it was. In a move that should have happened years ago, the Trump administration decisively dismissed the hundreds of so-called “experts” who were preparing the next National Climate Assessment (NCA) — a document often weaponized to justify costly and draconian climate policies that the American people neither asked for nor benefit from.
