Solar farms are not even remotely 'green' or 'environmentally-friendly'.

How many plant and animal habitats were demolished to make way for these inefficient and intermittent monstrosities?

Agreed.

The symmetry between Nazism's cruelty to one family and Communism's cruelty to the other was extraordinary, and the story was told with consummate skill.

✔️GAIN-OF-FUNCTION RESEARCH: Dr. Fauci repeatedly played semantics with the definition of “gain-of-function” research.

This appears to be an effort to avoid conceding that the NIH funded this dangerous research in China.

✔️LAB LEAK THEORY: Dr. Fauci acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis is not a conspiracy theory.

This comes roughly four years after he prompted the publication of “Proximal Origin” — a paper which attempted to vilify and disprove the lab leak hypothesis.

Emily Kopp Under Fauci's definition of GoF, it's not GoF unless the results surpass a pre-determined level of virulence. But that's bait-and-switch. That's like saying you're not doing cancer research unless you cure cancer. More importantly, even under his own distorted definition, it

“Cows have a digestion system that emits methane. We need to change cows and work towards artificial meat.”
~ Bill Gates

He conveniently ignores that methane from cows breaks down into CO2 & water after 10 years. Grass absorbs the CO2 by photosynthesis & the cycle continues.

This is the face of Greenpeace International in 2024. They don't care about humanity or the environment. They only care about how much money is raised from their false information campaigns. Please don't donate to such an unethical organization.

I did a thing on Labour's claim to cut energy bills by £300. A colleague points out the best thing - those savings are against the Q3 2023 price cap! Which was £2,074 vs current £1,568. So well done the Tories, you've already saved everyone £500 by the same metric.

Edward Holmes insisted the outbreak began in China, despite the discovery of related viruses in Laos:

'to me, China still looks like the most likely source.'

And

'I'm pretty certain groups in China are sitting on more SC2 like viruses.'

Precisely what he denied in public.

I will remind people that the NIH proposed exactly such a system TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO, but it was killed by a combination of lobbying from AAAS, NEJM and many other societies, and by senior scientists letting them get away with it.
