International climate bureaucracies are retreating from their original worst-case scenarios

~ ABN ~ 1 Comment

Their high-end 5-degree warnings from 20 years ago were used to drive public anxiety and justify massive overhauls to trusted energy systems. These are evaporating under the sheer weight of actual data.

The fear narrative may be ending, but the biosphere is flourishing. NASA satellite data reveal that between 25% and 50% of Earth’s vegetated lands have shown significant greening over the last four decades.

This is an expansion of biomass equivalent to twice the area of the continental United States—and CO₂ fertilisation is responsible for roughly 70% of it. The higher atmospheric CO₂ (hovering around 426 ppm) allows leaf pores (stomata) to stay open for less time to absorb carbon.

This is nature’s built-in water saver, drastically cutting moisture loss and boosting natural drought resistance. As a result, vegetation is actively reclaiming arid fringes of the Sahel, the Middle East and the Australian Outback. Nature is using this extra airborne fuel to thrive in regions once deemed too barren.

Nevertheless, climate bureaucrats are still fixated on economic modeling and their 2050 net zero bank balance target.

The planet itself doesn’t care. Instead it demonstrates the profound, biological benefits of elevated CO₂.

NEW VIDEO: Charlie Kirk ADJUSTING His Lapel Mic Just Minutes BEFORE He Was Killed — While Addressing Trans Hecklers — Project Constitution

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

In this clip from UVU on September 10th, you can see Charlie Kirk addressing the trans hecklers yelling from the balcony. Right after, he reaches over to his shirt and adjusts his RODE wireless lapel microphone — You can clearly tell there’s no transmitter taped underneath his shirt there, The Transmitter that was later found shattered inside the SUV was clipped to Charlie’s belt on his left side. in line with the neck wound.

This moment happened just before he started taking questions from the audience. The mic was clearly on him and everything was functioning normally at this point.

What makes this clip significant is that it shows Charlie was NOT wearing the transmitter on his right side, taped to him as some people have alluded to.

Another piece of footage that deserves a closer look.

Remember this is an ongoing investigation, the precision of which changes with new information. The exploding mic or battery pack/ transmitter is not yet a settled theory of how Charlie was killed. Clear photos of his chest and torso would answer many, if not all, questions. Unfortunately, videos of Charlie entering the hospital and while in the hospital have all been seized by the FBI and are being held in secret. ABN

The exact model RØDE microphone face shattered and placed on automobile carpet next to the SUV photos…. — Jon Bray

This comparison is evidence that Charlie Kirk was killed by an exploding mic he wore on his shirt. To add to this, the mic was placed inside his shirt when normally they are placed outside the shirt for obvious reasons. For more on this, see this link. The SUV photo is from the SUV that took Kirk from the murder scene to the hospital. Use of an SUV, due to the absence of an ambulance which was the norm at his events, is itself suspicious. He was carried like a sack of potatoes by his ‘security’ staff. What’s worse is the SUV was cleaned and sold at auction very soon after Kirk’s assassination. In the real world, that SUV would have been preserved as evidence. These are but a few of dozens of suspicious anomalies surrounding almost every detail of the crime. The Kirk case is important in itself and also because 50 million Evangelical Christians are being affected by his murder exposing the fraudulence of Christian ‘dispensationalism’ and the ostentatious violence of those who have promoted it.

Excess heat in the abyssal ocean explains warming oceans — The Ethical Skeptic

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

We are at 151 Deep Argo Float cycles1 for the last 30 days of 2026, and guess what is showing up consistently with this hot ocean we have in June of 2026?

Abyssal oceanic heat. Key inferences:

  1. The abyssal ocean is not isothermal as has been assumed by climate science.
  2. There appears to be a broad and pervasive thermal curvature below the deep ocean temperature minimum.
  3. The bottomward warming extends over 1000–2000 meters, far thicker than a conductive or advective boundary layer (no thermocline in the taper) could create (not the result of an overturning current).
  4. The excess abyssal heat content is real and measurable. Unlike the ocean’s surface, maintaining this abyssal heat content requires a continual balance between energy losses and replenishment. The critical path question is: what is the source of the replenishing energy flux?
  5. The layer contains substantial heat content (J/m²).

Climate science missed this – badly…
ECDO Theory caught it.

  1. Deep Argo floats operate on a nominal 10-day cycle, though some configurations use 15-day cycles to accommodate deeper profiling depths. 
     During each cycle, the floats cycle between the ocean surface and the seafloor, typically reaching depths of 4000 meters or 6000 meters depending on the specific model (such as Deep SOLO, Deep Arvor, or Deep NINJA). 
    The cycle consists of the following key phases:
    Descent: The float sinks to its target profile depth (4000 m or 6000 m), a process that can take up to 13 hours for deep models. 
    Parking/Drifting: Upon reaching the bottom or target depth, the float pauses or drifts for a set duration before beginning its ascent. 
    Ascent and Profiling: The float rises to the surface, a process taking approximately 17 hours from 5000 meters, continuously measuring temperature, salinity, and pressure. 
    Transmission: Once at the surface, the float transmits data via satellite (often Iridium) and receives new mission instructions before sinking back to its drift depth to repeat the process. 
    While Core Argo floats sample the upper 2000 meters, Deep Argo floats are designed to sample the full ocean volume, providing critical data for understanding deep-ocean heat content and circulation.  ↩︎

My understanding is the heat coming from deep in the earth also heats land masses, but more slowly and harder to measure. It is obvious that ocean heat will heat the atmosphere far more than the atmosphere will heat the ocean. Also, I love Ethical Skeptic but he can a pain in the ass because his writing is filled with abstruse phraseology and technical terms. It requires close attention, which is usually worth the effort. BUT when he has written on a topic I know very well AND based his entire analysis on a flatulent Wikipedia entry AND THEN is rude in response to my horror at his conclusions… well, he did eventually remove the piece. And, like I said, I do greatly appreciate his work. (footnote above is mine) ABN

Gabbard releases evidence of over 120 USA-funded biolabs in 30 countries

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

The fungal network hidden beneath our feet: Secret web of fungi could circle Earth 2.7 TRILLION times

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

It might sound like something out of The Last of Us, but scientists have uncovered a hidden fungal network lurking beneath our feet.

Almost every part of the Earth’s surface is criss–crossed by tiny living threads known as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi.

Now, a study has calculated just how colossal this secret web really is.

Placed end–to–end, scientists say Earth’s fungi network stretches over 68.35 quadrillion miles (110 quadrillion km).

That’s long enough to circle the planet 2.7 trillion times, or to cover the distance from the Earth to the sun one billion times over.

Researchers also found that the network contains approximately 300 megatonnes of carbon – about five times the weight of all living humans on Earth put together.

Lead author Dr Justin Stewart, with the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN), says: ‘It is hard to overstate the importance and enormity of these fungi.

‘There could be up to 10 meters (33 feet) of mycorrhizal network in just a teaspoon of soil.’

Grasslands such as the Tibetan Plateau are home to 40 per cent of the world’s AM fungi, despite being some of the least protected ecosystems on Earth

A 5.3-million-year-old deep-sea whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Abstract

Whale falls are biodiversity oases at seabeds1,2,3,4,5,6, yet their record from the oceans has remained sparse and fragmentary6,7. Here we report the discovery of a vast whale necropolis in the Diamantina Zone (4,616- to 7,001-m depth), extending about 1,200 km along the sea floor of the southeastern Indian Ocean. This area has a deep and extensive accumulation comprising five modern natural whale-fall communities and 476 fossil cetaceans recorded. We show that carcasses host specialized communities dominated by brittle stars, bone-boring worms and chemosynthesis-based bivalves and that the fossil record in this area comprises both extant and extinct deep-diving beaked whales. Isotopic dating shows that whale falls in this region have occurred since at least 5.3 million years ago. These findings reshape the understanding of the limits and biogeography of whale-fall ecosystems and establish some deep sea floors as a fossil archive for tracing cetacean evolution over geological time.

 Distribution and abundance of whale fossils and whale falls in the Diamantina Zone.

Orange circles indicate dive locations where whale fossils or whale falls were observed; circle size corresponds to the number of whale remains recorded per dive. Whale falls in the sulfophilic stage are marked with white arrows. White circles denote dives with no observed whale fossil or whale fall. Notably, the distribution of both whale falls and whale fossils is restricted to the Diamantina Zone sea floor; none were detected outside this region.

The brain as a guessing machine

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

A new approach to the study of mental disorder—called computational psychiatry—uses Bayesian inference to explain where people with problems are going wrong.

Bayesian inference is a method of statistical reasoning used to understand the probability of a hypothesis and how to update it as conditions change.

The idea is that people with schizophrenia, for example, are doing a bad job at inferring the reasonableness of their hypotheses. This happens because schizophrenics seem to be less likely to put enough weight on prior experience (a factor in Bayesian reasoning).

Somewhat similarly, “sensory information takes priority [over previous experience] in people with autism.” (Bayesian reasoning implicated in some mental disorders)

Distorted calculations — and the altered versions of the world they create — may also play a role in depression and anxiety, some researchers think. While suffering from depression, people may hold on to distorted priors — believing that good things are out of reach, for instance. And people with high anxiety can have trouble making good choices in a volatile environment… (Ibid)

The key problem with autism and anxiety is people with these conditions have trouble updating their expectations—a major component of Bayesian reasoning—and thus make many mistakes.

These mistakes, of course, compound and further increase a sense of anxiety or alienation.

Like several of the researches quoted in the linked article, I find this computational approach exciting.

It speaks to me because it confirms a core hypothesis of FIML practice—that all people make many, significant inferential mistakes during virtually all acts of communication.

In this respect, I believe all people are mentally disordered, not just the ones who are suffering the most.

I think a Bayesian thought experiment can all but prove my point:

What are the odds that you will correctly infer the mental state(s) of anyone you speak with? What are the odds that they will correctly infer your mental state(s)?

In a formal setting, both of you will do well enough if the inferring is kept within whatever the formal boundaries are. But that is all you will be able to infer reasonably well.

In the far more important realm of intimate interpersonal communication, the odds that either party is making correct inferences go down significantly.

If we do not know someone’s mental state, we cannot know why they have communicated as they have. If our inferences about them are based on such questionable data, we are bound to make many more mistakes about them.

The worst thing about the humanities

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The worst thing about the humanities is so many of our insights and discoveries are used to harm people, manipulate them, propagandize them.

Another bad thing is the open, confessional, and exploratory styles of artists too often are used against them by gaslighters, scammers, back-biters.

If we cannot even allow artists and social scientists to speak openly, all of us suffer from the reduced culture that results.

International bureaucracies are retreating from their ‘iron-clad’ fixation on immediate global climate collapse — Peter Clack

~ ABN ~ 1 Comment

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.
