  • Biden should follow Trump’s lead on China

    Donald Trump’s tough China policy is his most consequential – and constructive – foreign-policy legacy. Unless President Joe Biden pursues a similar approach, the erosion of US global leadership will become inexorable. BRAHMA CHELLANEY, Project...

  • Don’t Believe the “Learning Loss” Hoax

    The mainstream media are filled with warnings about “learning loss” and how we must measure it and why students should go to summer school to make up for what they have “lost.” If we can’t quantify it, they say, how can we know which...

  • Biden vows Russia’s Putin will ‘pay a price’ for election meddling: ABC News

  • ( I wonder what price Biden will pay for unproven allegations. They are hardly a new practice to the U.S., forming the basis for  sanctions against nations promoting nuclear disarmament on the basis that they must be discouraged from seeking arms. What may now evolve from propaganda  designed to discourage energy self sufficiency efforts by developing nations in using so-called 'fossil fuels' ?... likely a total misnomer, so that fits right in. After decades of accusing Russia of all kinds of nefarious actions, there is little concern that more such is essentially a farce. )

    Here’s proof that today humans are much healthier, wealthier etc than 30 years ago or 50 years ago or 100 years ago.
    In 1970 the Human population was about 3.7 billion and life expectancy was 56 and today we have 4.1 bn more people ( total of 7.8 bn) and life exp is about 72.8. And today L exp is over 80 in wealthy OECD countries like Australia.

    But average life exp in OZ was only 71 in 1970 but today is about 83. But in Africa average L exp in 1970 was about 47 and today is about 64 and this is the poorest continent ( 53 countries) on earth. OH and Africa’s pop was about 363 mil in 1970 and today 2021 has increased by another 1 billion people. In just 50 years, check it out.

    Yet we are told today we have a CLIMATE CRISIS and the above data proves this is just more BS and FRA-D and Lomborg , Shellenberger, Dr Goklany etc quote the UN data that projects that everyone will be much healthier and wealthier by 2050 and 2100. So why all their never ending exaggeration and nonsense.

    And the world is GREENING because of the increase of co2 in the atmosphere, see CSIRO and NASA etc. The planet earth is not suffering a so called climate crisis or emergency at all.
