    Google maps now lets you show 7-day avg Covid case counts (per 100k) by location. Florida lowest in the US (8.7 and declining). Compare BC 11.9 and rising. UK 66.2, Ireland 42.9, Mexico & India v low. Do these patterns correlate with policy decisions?

    Greta Thunberg said “I want you to panic” and nations did. They over-invested in unreliable weather-dependent energy sources & under-invested in reliable energy. Now, global energy shortages are forcing the poor to choose between food & electricity

    The only way for BBC to turn Phil Jones into a valiant hero is to falsify history. He's not a villain, he's a bookkeeper who fell in with a bad crowd and emulated their villainy. Those who want to understand Climategate, read Steve's thread or ...

    BBC propaganda on Climategate airing at 8:30PM BDT. Jones to be portrayed as a hero, instead of vain temperature accountant who said "Why should I make data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it?

    As natural gas prices skyrocket, Americans, especially the poor, will have much more difficulty heating their homes this winter. I have a solution: "Earth Winter." Everyone who has contributed to the price rises by opposing drilling and pipelines keeps their thermostat at 60°.

    despite the very late arrival of vaccines from federal govt to Ontario, Ontario cumulative cases are MUCH less than any US state. Instead of reporting this success, partisan Science Table feeds propaganda of failure to media and public.

    Excellent thread. In Covid, like climate, good news is no news.

    Ontario's science advisory council has never informed public that Ontario has done better in COVID case counts than any US state and all but one EU jurisdiction. Instead, they feed narrative of failure and misforecast doom. On Sep 1, they forecast Fourth Wave doom by October,

    Myles Allen makes light of a bad but influential mistake he made.

    McKitrick compared optimal fingerprinting to the way law enforcement officers use fingerprinting to identify criminals. “[They] take this big smudge of data and say, ‘Yeah, the fingerprints of greenhouse gas are on it,’” he said.

    Divestment works.

    Is this how the “Green Paradox” plays out? • Shifting oil wells “away from the oil majors .may boost emissions as production likely shifts to players that operate in the shadows, answer to private shareholders and make few environmental disclosures”
