International bureaucracies are retreating from their formerly ‘iron-clad’ fixation on immediate global climate collapse.
As their worst-case computer models evaporate under the weight of real-world data, the goalposts are shifting. Realising they can no longer defend the rigid targets used to drive public anxiety, institutions like the IPCC are quietly pivoting to ‘overshoot’ mode to manage the damage.
This retreat is happening because empirical data from NASA satellites is telling a vastly different story of planetary resilience. The Sahara Desert, of all places, has shrunk by roughly 8% since the 1980s. This isn’t a computer model simulation, it’s the visible reality captured by NASA’s AVHRR and MODIS satellite instruments.
Satellite data reveals that 25% to 50% of Earth’s vegetated lands have shown significant greening. This is an expansion of biomass equivalent to twice the continental United States. Carbon dioxide fertilisation is responsible for roughly 70% of this growth.
Higher atmospheric CO₂ is also allowing marginal plants to use water more efficiently. Leaf pores (stomata) don’t need to stay open as long to take in carbon, drastically cutting water loss and boosting natural drought resistance. This biological efficiency is allowing vegetation to march back into the world’s most hostile environments.
Green cover has been actively reclaiming the arid fringes of the Sahel (the Sahara’s southern edge), the Middle East and Australian Outback. An 8% reduction in the Sahara’s desert expanse means over 700,000 square kilometres of formerly barren sand wastes have transitioned to green cover.
With CO₂ now hovering around 430 ppm, nature is using this extra airborne fuel to thrive in regions once completely inhospitable.
Centralised policy platforms remain focused on worst-case scenarios and economic penalties. But the biosphere is quietly demonstrating a profound, measurable benefit from higher CO₂. Earth is becoming greener and more water-efficient – where it matters most.
Iris Chang’s *The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II* delves into the horrific events surrounding the 1937-1938 Nanjing Massacre, during which Japanese soldiers allegedly committed widespread atrocities against Chinese civilians. Published in 1997, the book sparked significant controversy and debate, particularly in the United States and Japan. While it received praise from various media outlets, it also faced criticism for its historical accuracy and reliance on secondary sources rather than primary documentation. The book’s vivid descriptions of the alleged atrocities, including mass killings and rampant sexual violence, were met with skepticism by some historians, who questioned the veracity of the figures and events described.
Despite the controversies, Chang’s work undeniably reignited discussions about the Nanjing Massacre and its implications for historical memory and international relations. Influential figures like George Will praised the book for encouraging academic discourse and raising awareness about Japan’s wartime actions. Critics, however, pointed to significant gaps in Chang’s narrative, questioning why prominent Chinese leaders like Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek did not leverage the alleged evidence of Japanese atrocities to further their political agendas. This omission raised doubts about the credibility of Chang’s claims, leading some scholars to speculate that she may have exaggerated certain details or lacked adequate corroborating evidence.
The book’s reliance on secondary sources and sensationalist claims drew comparisons to other controversial works, such as Daniel Jonah Goldhagen’s *Hitler’s Willing Executioners*, which faced similar backlash for its historical inaccuracies. Scholars have argued that Chang’s narrative is further undermined by its failure to consider broader historical contexts and alternative accounts of events. For instance, the work does not address incidents like the Tongzhou Incident, where Chinese soldiers committed atrocities against Japanese civilians, which could complicate the simplistic portrayal of the Japanese as the sole perpetrators of violence during this period. Critics argue that Chang’s failure to include these details skews the historical narrative.
In the wake of Chang’s death in 2004, her book continues to evoke strong reactions. While some view it as a vital testament to the suffering endured by Chinese civilians, others argue it perpetuates a one-sided narrative that lacks scholarly rigor. The ongoing debate over the Nanjing Massacre illustrates the complexities of historical memory, national identity, and the interpretation of wartime events, revealing how narratives can be shaped by ideological perspectives and the political climate of the time. As discussions continue, the need for rigorous historical analysis and balanced perspectives remains crucial for understanding the lasting implications of these events in contemporary society.
The above is an AI summary provided by the website the article is posted on, The Unz Review. The article is worth reading as it reveals yet another area of significant historical dubiosity. Just as the present is so full of lies and mind-control it is nearly impossible to know what is really going on, so also is much of the past deeply uncertain and consequently often deeply misunderstood.

The EXPLOSION of lifelong allergies in our kids: ALUMINUM ADJUVANTS in VACCINES.
Aluminum doesn’t “boost” immunity — it provokes a permanent allergic response to ANY protein it’s injected with.
Vaccines are loaded with proteins from:
Egg
Beef
Pork
Dairy (casein)
Mix those with ALUMINUM… and you get lifelong allergies to those exact foods.
They’ve even done it deliberately in labs: aluminum from the Hep B vaccine + latex molecule = rats with permanent latex allergy. Same with peanuts, dairy — you name it.
Even worse? Whatever is floating in the environment the day your child gets the shot becomes a lifelong trigger. Pollen. Dust. Mold. Pet dander. Peanut particles in the air. It doesn’t matter. Aluminum locks it in.
This is why we suddenly have a generation of kids allergic to everything. The studies RFK Jr. cites show vaccinated kids have 30X higher rates of allergic rhinitis. The food allergy epidemic tracks exactly with the rollout of aluminum-containing shots.
We’ve been conducting a massive, uncontrolled experiment on our children — and the result is an entire generation hooked on EpiPens, inhalers, and avoidance diets.
If you are still pro-vaccine, you are anti-science because the truth is out.
The allergy explosion isn’t random. It was engineered into the shots.
Whether Nick is wearing a ‘fed-jacket’ or is being helped by the federal government or not, he’s still doing good work. It’s good to remember the federal government has many honorable people and there is no shame in working with them or helping the government do good deeds. Many years ago I had inside knowledge of a federal criminal case that made national headlines. I was approached by an FBI agent and agreed to tell her what I knew as well as explain aspects of the crime they did not know about or understand. The agent was intelligent, open minded and fair. After speaking with her for hours, she came to understand that prosecution was not warranted in that case. Much good came of that and no harm. Ideally, we do not want to simply oppose the government. We want the government to serve the public good, be reasonable and fair. We can only get there by helping where we can and resisting what we must. ABN
The word antisemite should be abandoned forever. It literally means nothing more than people Jews do not like or who have a better argument than them or who notice and comment on what they are actually doing. We seem to have entered a new era where even $600 million is not enough to convince intelligent people not to notice the obvious. ABN
Until the concept of reuptake inhibition is recognized fundamentally as propaganda instead of science, no one is going to understand why these drugs cause birth defects and alterations to fetal brain development or why they stop you from being able to feel your genitals and nipples or why tapering from long-term use causes catastrophic new-onset syndromes that have little to do with why anyone took them in the first place.
Serotonin was first named “enteramine” in 1935 meaning “an amino acid derivative present in the gut.”
It was named “serotonin” in 1948, meaning “substance in the blood (sero- for serum) that increases vasoconstriction (-tonin for vascular tone).
In 1952, it was established that entermaine and serotonin were the same compound.
Had serotonin research not been completely perverted by Pharma, it would have become rapidly apparent that these are deeply connected: serotonin’s one role in the entire body is to coordinate mitochondrial function in response to variation in the supply and demand of oxygen. It regulates motility in the gut to prevent local hypoxia. It coordinates blood flow to maximize efficiency of oxygen delivery.
But when SSRIs were released in 1986, Pharma solidified the destruction of these lines of inquiry by selecting a thread started by the influence of LSD in the 1950s that claimed serotonin was a lever to be pulled to manipulate the state of the brain.
The “R” in SSRIs is an insidious lie.
It implies that SSRIs specifically inhibit “reuptake” of serotonin, a phenomenon only relevant to the first neuron of a synapse.
This created the total mythology that the one thing they do is keep serotonin in the synapse longer to have greater activity on the receiving neuron.
They knew this was false.
They knew these are generic inhibitors of the serotonin transporter, which is not primarily found in the brain and is not primarily found in neurons.
Its has tremendous expression in the gut, lungs, and reproductive organs.
It’s found inside cells, most likely mediating the established direct transport of serotonin into mitochondria.
On a cellular basis the highest expression is in enterocytes, not in enteric neurons, and in the placenta.
The word “SSRI” is pure propaganda meant to cut out almost all of the relevant serotonin research in the way that Stalin cut out Trotsky from all the pictures of the two of them with Lenin to paint himself as Lenin’s true successor.
They are “serotonin transporter inhibitors.”
Until the concept of reuptake inhibition is recognized fundamentally as propaganda instead of science, no one is going to understand why these drugs cause birth defects and alterations to fetal brain development or why they stop you from being able to feel your genitals and nipples or why tapering from long-term use causes catastrophic new-onset syndromes that have little to do with why anyone took them in the first place.
This article is misleading and is dangerous to infants.
It ignores the hazards of injecting newborns with toxins such as propylene glycol, polysorbate 80, benzyl alcohol and highly neurotoxic aluminum in vitamin K shots given hours after birth.
It fails to acknowledge the high vitamin K in colostrum, available to infants as soon as born, the earliest breast milk.
It fails to acknowledge much safer vitamin K orally to the mother within the days before birth.
Blood needs to be thinner at birth, and cord-cutting needs to be delayed a few minutes so blood shunted back to the placenta in birth canal can return to the infant with the infant’s own stem cells for lifelong benefit.
But pharma-allied Pro Publica hides all that in their shameful and dangerous propaganda piece, because there is huge $$ for stealing cord blood and placenta from mother and baby, to sell for profit to the “anti-aging” industry.
