"Climate change’s worst-case scenario is officially canceled," young adult infotainment site Vox finally admitted this weekend, causing progressive heads to explode, from the writing staff to its readership. "You’ve probably never heard of the term 'RCP 8.5' — the highest-emission scenario used by climate scientists to project the planet’s future," Vox's Bryan Walsh reported. "But if you’ve read about climate change, you’ve seen the numbers and nightmarish outcomes it produced: 4°C of warming by 2100, sometimes 5°C, sea level rising multiple feet,

And virtually everyone who comes to this site were aware of this 20 years ago. Who pays for this BS that we have had to endure?

It was always BS, and they were and are ignorant liars. But, it's the NYT, so you must expect that they will be printing lies.

FTA: "The entire point of climate scenarios like RCP 8.5 was that there was no one certain future for climate change," Walsh concluded, "only multiple possible futures." So, they're saying the science was NEVER settled but they pushed that idea non-stop regardless, huh? It was always interesting to me that very smart people in China, India, Russia, Indonesia, Japan, etc.. didn't follow the extreme schemes pushed by the Western Countries. Made me consider they knew something WE weren't being told.

During this century, the Greens have managed to divert between fifteen and twenty trillion dollars from the world's useful economy and award it to China and politically connested green investors, who've become unimaginably rich. Of course, it was all a scam. The oceans won't boil; the earth hasn't got a fever. Gore should be egged with abandon. Everyone on this site for the past twenty-five years knew Green was a scam. Those who benefited ought to have their riches clawed back. They're among the world's greediest people, and they've done no good.

They actually haven't disowned RCP 8.5. It has been altered from projection to 'thought experiment'. In plain English - a complete fib.

The one good thing that may have come from a horrific crash on a Florida highway last August was the fact that it shed plenty of light on the fact that semi truck drivers who are in the country illegally and are not qualified to operate the multi-ton vehicles are a much bigger problem than one crash. Blue states like California are where most of these commercial driver's licenses (CDL) are being issued. But Democrats who are running for governor in the Golden State are promising to protect those truck drivers who should not be in the country in the first place.

An indictment has been brought. The prosecutor is Elizabeth Corey, professor of political science at Baylor. The defendant is Christopher Rufo, and through him a whole class of conservatives whom the prosecutor calls the “scrappy warriors” of the New Right. Corey makes three charges against them: they are uncivil, they divide the world into friends and enemies after the manner of Carl Schmitt, and they would rather crush their opponents than convert them, preferring to defile the seminar room than save it. They are, in short, mean and essentially unfit for leadership. Corey is a serious person, and the charges she brings are serious. The court owes her a fair hearing.

Now that Mamdani has passed his "balanced" budget, he's off to the races with implementing the parts of his socialist agenda over which he has control. He's been stymied in some things, such as providing free buses, but has the power to do others, such as put more restrictions on the police in order to give free rein to the antisemites who are upping their harassment of Jews. He's dumping money into his ridiculous city-run grocery stores, which are expensive but entirely symbolic in a city with millions of citizens who struggle to get around due to congestion;

With anti-Israel sentiment rising in virtually every American institution — from academia to Congress to Sesame Street — must Jewish Americans soon start worrying about the medical treatment they’ll receive at doctors’ offices and hospitals across the country? A Jewish doctor in recent testimony to Congress and in an interview with the Jerusalem Post is warning that such a moment may already have arrived. Dr. Jacob Agronin, a cardiology fellow at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, says that antisemitism is pervasive in U.S. healthcare and medical unions. Agronin is one of the 37,000 resident and fellow physicians represented by the

Albert Einstein wrote the following in a letter to his son in the 1950s about American politics: "There’s something amazing about America’s democracy, it’s got a gyroscope, and just when you think it’s going to go off the cliff, it rights itself." Some 70 years later, we see that gyroscope is once again at work. As the communists who cosplay as Democrats continue to push "woke" codswallop down the throats of any American still too daft to recognize cultural Marxism, even as a bearded lady showers next to their tween daughter, many Americans living on the West Coast — including those who hopscotch to work through hypodermic needles and human

While Americans spent Memorial Day honoring the fallen, New Jersey Democrats turned an ICE detention facility in Newark into the scene of a political circus. What was billed as a protest outside Delaney Hall quickly spiraled into chaos, complete with screaming activists, clashes with law enforcement, and a sitting U.S. senator getting pepper-sprayed in the middle of the mayhem. And while the media was using footage of Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) getting his eyes flushed out after being pepper-sprayed to push their preferred narrative, Greg Gutfeld wasn’t buying into the propaganda.

Pundit Bill O’Reilly recently said he was “surprised” that ex-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lost to Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 New York City mayoral race. “I thought,” he told Cuomo during a May 14 discussion, “you were going to wax them [your competitors].” Do you know when I realized Mamdani would win? The very first time I saw him on TV. No, it wasn’t that Mamdani was promising to rob Peter blind to pay Paul and then send both home to rent-frozen apartments on a free bus. It was that I understand the Luciferian Beauty Principle. Now, you can take the following as metaphor if you’re not a theist. In Christian theology,

Luxury sports car maker Ferrari has unveiled its first fully electric car - the $640,000 (£474,320) Luce. The new model departs from the look of typical Ferraris as the Italian brand's first ever five-seater, created in collaboration with the LoveFrom agency founded by former Apple design chief Sir Jony Ive. Responses on social media to the launch ranged from describing it as "straight to the junkyard trash" to an "absolute masterclass in design". On Tuesday, the firm's shares fell more than 8% on the Milan stock market and by over 5% in New York.

For many years the Soviet Union, and then Russia, financed the environmental movement in the United States. Their purpose was to suppress American production of oil and gas, and they succeeded to a considerable degree, to their own great benefit. Today, we are in the midst of another kind of race with Communist China–the race to develop superior systems of artificial intelligence. The Chinese Communist Party knows that if it wins this race, it will contribute greatly to its dreams of world domination, while if it loses, China, with its rapidly shrinking population, could be on the way to the garbage dump of history. So the stakes are enormous.

A federal district judge has been disciplined for having extramarital sex with a law enforcement officer inside the judge's chambers during business hours, according to several news reports. A special committee for the Eleventh Circuit on Friday found the judge, who isn’t named, "demonstrated a gross lack of judgment." Clerks could overhear the intercourse taking place, which was "extremely uncomfortable and troubling" for them, according to Bloomberg Law. The affair exposed the judge to risks of extortion since his or her spouse wasn't aware of the affair.

President Trump’s surprise endorsement catapulted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to a landslide victory in Tuesday’s Republican Senate primary runoff election. As has been the case throughout the 2026 midterm primary season, Trump’s stamp of approval remains critical for GOP candidates in local and statewide elections. Here are four takeaways from the contests in the Lone Star State.After coming in second place in the preliminary March 3 primary, Paxton was propelled by the president’s endorsement — defeating incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) by a stunning 27-point margin (63.8% to 36.2%) in the runoff.

U.S-based health aid organization is warning that the outbreak of the deadly Ebola disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda is spreading faster than responders can contain it. The warning came Tuesday from the International Rescue Committee, which said the outbreak is no longer limited to remote areas of northeastern Congo, ABC News reported. Cases are now spreading to larger regional hubs, including the major city of Goma and Uganda's capital, Kampala. The outbreak has resulted in over 900 suspected cases and at least 223 deaths so far.

For years, Democrats and their allies in the media swore Joe Biden was sharp as a tack, fully capable, and absolutely fine. Then came the June 2024 debate, and that story collapsed in real time before millions of viewers. The fallout was so bad that Biden's own party forced him off the ticket. He dropped out, spent the rest of his term below the radar, and has spent his post-presidency trying to rehabilitate his image. Now, that effort has taken a new and telling turn. Biden filed a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia seeking to block the Justice Department from releasing roughly

Republican Tennessee Rep.

In a viral X post on Sunday, Burchett directly quoted a detailed account of Stroupe’s horrific death and asserted, “I have a bill to bring back hanging. Let’s see if all the tough talk by Congress holds up. Support the Drop Act.” Stroupe, 19, was found dead in an east Charlotte apartment in early May. According to court affidavits and police reports, she had been bound to
