Which sounds someone cares about these birds. But don’t think the The

There’s an electromagnetic ball of fire that is 1.3 million times the
size of Earth and just 8 minutes away by photon, and we really don’t
know what’s going on there. Climate models assume the solar wind and

jet stream, and even in human fertility and li

What’s remarkable is that a conversation had by so many on the internet
has finally made it, for a moment, onto television. No surprise it
happened on a footy show. It certainly wasn’t going to happen on The
7:30 Report, Four Corners, or 60 minutes. A star Australian football
player had a “scary” incident with nausea, dizziness, and heart
irregularities and missed a lot of the game this weekend.
Having sold their souls not-covering Biden-family corruption, election
scandals, Pharmaceutical malfeasance, and rackets running through
politics and science, it’s no surprise that barely 1 in 6 Republicans
trust most media outlets. Mass lies will do that. Look at the vast
partisan gulf in the poll below which asked “how trustworthy do you rate
the news media…“. Can anyone look at this graph and

a shock. More than half the states in the US are considering
legislation to allow doctors and sometimes even nurses and pharmacists
too, to prescribe early treatment drugs “off label”. Let’s not forget
that doctors were able to do that for decades and it’s largely the
medical boards who have become the defacto Praetorian Guards of
Big-Pharma — taking away the rights of doctors via threats to

million people. They compared people who had three doses with people who
went on to have four. By three or four weeks after the 4th shot, people
had half as many symptomatic infections. It’s “nice” but it’s only 50%
efficacy, and that’s as good as it gets. So

Here’s a surprise for all you Australians trapped in Australia because
you chose not to take part in a medical experiment. The reason you can’t
leave is not for your own health. It’s not for the health of fellow

Welcome to Prison Australia where unvaccinated citizens are not able to
leave. (And Canadians thought they were the only ones). If your best
friend is getting married in Madagascar, the Africans will let you fly
in, but you can’t go because Australia won’t let you out. Australians
who are unvaccinated or not-jabbed-enough can apply for permission to
leave. But unless you need foreign medical care

As the grapevines bud for the season in France, a mild spring followed

This supports Jo’s post on wind droughts. The point is that we have to
strive for “wind drought literacy” in the general population. Apart from
people who mess around in sailboats and people who play sports where

notice of the wind unless it is blowing our hat off or turning our
umbrella inside out. It is really important for ev
If Climate Change was a real threat, the Bureau of Meteorology might
even look at their own historic records. When Jennifer Marohasy and
Chris Gillham did just that, they found that as bad as the current
situation is, it’s happened before: The wettest day in Lismore was in
February 1954. The wettest year for Lismore was 1893. There was no

Australia now has nearly 10GW of wind power installed on the National
Electricity Grid, but look at the monthly minimums — the guaranteed
power we can rely on. The good news is that it’s increased by 10% over
this time last year. The bad news is that it was only 216MW. From the
10,000MW of windpower we paid to install, at one point in the last month
only 2% was working, and that’s not unusual. Th

The most devastating thing about this survey is not what it says about

think energy policy should be about reliable cheap supply, not about
stopping storms, and 70% don’t want to even spend $1 a week saving the
world from climate change. Despite this, neither major party stands for

Sometimes Randomized Controlled Trials are not the golden trophies of
science that some say they are. (Like yesterday’s Ivermectin study).
While some say that nothing less than an RCT will do, actually,

rocks of confirmation bias if they try to study something people already
know the answer to. For a long time there were no RCT
