…In 2012, three wealthy men, Bloomberg, hedge fund manager Tom Steyer and former CEO of Goldman Sachs Hank Paulson chipped in $500,000 each to fund a project “making the climate threat feel real, immediate and potentially devastating to the business world”. An early funded report was part-titled ‘Risky Business’ and it focused on RCP8.5 “as the pathway closest to a business-as-usual trajectory”. The pathway was said to be “closest to a future without concerted action to reduce future warming”.
…The “genius” of ‘Risky Business’ was it undertook a “sophisticated campaign” to introduce its methodological ideas into mainstream scientific literature, “where they would take on a life of their own”. In 2016, a paper from the ‘Risky Business’ project was published in the prestigious journal Science featuring the erroneous notion of moving from one RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway) scenario to another. Despite the obvious methodological flaw, notes Pielke, the paper passed peer-review with little or no criticism, and to date has been cited more than 1,100 times. “Hundreds, maybe thousands of papers followed similarly in adopting the same assumption of moving between incommensurate scenarios”, observes Pielke.
Maine’s legacy and corporate media — including the Bangor Daily News, the major television stations, and the collection of news websites now owned by a George Soros-controlled non-profit — utterly failed to cover the massive reaction to LD 227 on Tuesday.
The bill in question would create new legal protections for late-term abortions as well as sex-change treatments, including sex-change drugs and surgeries for minors. In addition, the bill would create protections for adults who traffick children across state lines into Maine in order to receive these treatments — even adults who are not related to those children.

Providing transgendered children “puberty blockers” is currently one of the most controversial areas in medicine (e.g., liberal colleagues of mine have publicly protested Republican state governments banning the practice).
What I find remarkable about this entire debate is how little knowledge exists about the safety of these drugs. For instance, when I’ve asked my liberal colleagues if they are aware of the dangers of these drugs, they genuinely share that they were not aware they had any clinically significant side effects.
Given that the hormonal blockers are amongst the most dangerous drugs on the market, I feel it is important to review all the people who have been harmed by them, and the scandalous 40 year saga that has allowed them to be unjustifiably used for a wide range of medical conditions.

More than one reader has told me Suspicious0bservers is a scam. I do not support fake anything but I do like unique material, so I have posted a few of Ben’s videos. The video above credibly claims that Ben is fake. The argument in the video is strong and I respect those who have contacted me. So, unless I hear better info, Ben will not get anymore time on this site. ABN
UPDATE: See this: Suspicious0bservers is a Pseudoscientific Doomsday Cult. ABN
Bret is a professional biologist or evolutionary biologist, yet he made this elementary mistake and sounds perfectly reasonable while discussing it. He did similar for early lockdowns when he said extremely strict lockdowns in USA would have ended the ‘pandemic’ in two weeks. I am not trying to run Bret down but to illustrate why his continuous refusal to simply admit he was wrong and correct his mistakes is a problem. I have not deeply studied Bret or his work so I may be wrong on these details, but that’s how the story has appeared to me since his Carlson interview, and before but to a much lesser extent. Covid, climate, vaxxes, diet, sociology and almost all other major topics that lend themselves to corruption are rife with glaring errors and individuals calling themselves professionals who not only fail to correct those errors, but repeat them.

Professor Michael Mann took an enormous hammering in court over the deficiencies in his Hockey Stick analysis.
He is suing Mark Steyn (and Rand Simberg) for defamation after they called his graph a fraud. Just listen to Simberg’s lawyer Victoria Weatherford demolish him:Mann said he did not gather the data for the Hockey Stick.
He handled the statistics that showed flat temps for 1000 years and a sudden recent warming and tried desperately to avoid admitting he was not qualified in statistics.W your PHD is not in statistics?
MANN My PHD is in geology and geo ‘s a
broad field involves science data analysis. There’s
lot of statistics I took course work in statistics
during my PHD programW Yes or no? Your PHD is not in statistics? MANN: It’s in geology & geophysics
W:That’s a no, it’s not in statistics
MANN: Obviously No.And then Mann tried to deny, not very convincingly, that he failed to consult a professional statistician when constructing the Hockey Stick graph – possibly the most influential graph of the 20th century.

Yet another example of how bad ‘The Science’ is. Wherever you look our usurpers get it wrong, apparently deliberately, and then use that to steal and oppress. Mann is another silver tongue who maybe does not think so clearly.
Leaving Mann aside, I believe self-deception is a trait with both genetic and cultural roots. A person who can self-deceive will always be better at deceiving others and/or getting their way than a person who is resolutely honest and never self-deceives and never tries to deceive others. Nice guys finish last (unless they become monks). Deception and self-deception are major factors in who controls the world, who speaks for the controllers, and who wants to speak for them. In today’s world, there are trillions of dollars at stake. So we should expect to see most, if not all, prominent speakers adept at self- and other-deception. Historically, parasitic cultures and subcultures have not just used self- and other-deception, they have also trained themselves and their children in this devious art. This is a huge factor in our world today since every major topic is rife with deception on more levels than one. ABN

Abstract
We examine the relationship between cognitive ability and prompt COVID-19 vaccination using individual-level data on more than 700,000 individuals in Sweden. We find a strong positive association between cognitive ability and swift vaccination, which remains even after controlling for confounding variables with a twin-design. The results suggest that the complexity of the vaccination decision may make it difficult for individuals with lower cognitive abilities to understand the benefits of vaccination. Consistent with this, we show that simplifying the vaccination decision through pre-booked vaccination appointments alleviates almost all of the inequality in vaccination behavior.
Cognitive ability, health policy, and the dynamics of COVID-19 vaccination
A confounding factor could be the tests they use for cognitive ability in Sweden were made by people dumber than the people taking them, or the most intelligent Swedes deliberately make mistakes on these tests because they know the whole charade is ridiculous, deserving only mockery, which is kinda how I feel about this study which does not even ask if the vaxxes cause long-term harm.

The surgical N95 mask has been held up as the gold standard when it comes to protecting against Covid.
But a study quietly re-shared by the National Institutes of Health in spring suggests the tight-fitting mask may expose users to dangerous levels of toxic chemicals.
Researchers from Jeonbuk National University in South Korea looked at two types of disposable medical-grade masks, as well as several reusable cotton masks.
The study found that the chemicals released by these masks had eight times the recommended safety limit of toxic volatile organic compounds (TVOCs).
Inhaling TVOCs has been linked to health issues like headaches and nausea, while prolonged and repeated has been linked to organ damage and even cancer.
Plus, masks do not protect against covid anyway. ABN
