COP27 climate damages is just a fantasy plan to tax the West for bad weather, and grow the UN
By Jo Nova Despite achieving nothing but a holiday junket for 45,000 people, COP27 has managed to eke out the usual PR “win” in the grand media theater. They have a document they call a historic breakthrough which is actually nothing but a wish list for future UN wet dreams.

Quick-closing valve allows fish to rapidly regulate the water in their cells

When insufficient water is being transported via the cell membrane, cells can use their aquaporins—also known as water channels—that open and close to remedy this. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg recently identified a water channel in a fish with what appears to be a unique quick-closing valve. Ultimately, this discov

The Case for Democratic Worker Control
First it was the “Great Resignation.” Then it was “nobody wants to work anymore.” Now it’s “quiet quitting.” Yet it seems like no one wants to talk about what I see as the root cause of America’s economic malaise – work under contemporary capitalism is fundamentally flawed. As a political philosopher studying the effects of contemporary capitalism on the future of work, I believe that the inability to dictate and meaningfully control one’s own working life is the problem. Democratizing work is the solution. The post The Case for Democratic Worker Control appeared first on Popula... read more

China is building a truly ecological civilisation
The 2022 UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (Cop27) has just drawn to a close.

Climate justice is not some sort of fringe radical notion; indeed, the principle of “common but differentiated responsibilities” is written into internation... read more

Meteorites May Have Brought Water to Earth and Mars
The truth is that i am unconvinced. This meteorite has contained water just as our crust has. Again we are presuming an assembly taking place in the early days. So all things been equal, Venus should have massive amounts of atmospheric water at the least. Now imagine a hydrogen atmosphere reducing oxygen from the rock under high temperatures, in a cooling rock mass. A lot more possibility then I do suspect that Cloud Cosmology starts with a massive supply of hydrogen that is eliminated by the schochemistry of oxygen. This suggests that Venus may still retain any water deep i... read more

The Case For Democratic Worker Control
First it was the “Great Resignation.” Then it was “nobody wants to work anymore.” Now it’s “quiet quitting.” Yet it seems like no one wants to talk about what I see as the root cause of America’s economic malaise – work under contemporary capitalism is fundamentally flawed. As a political philosopher studying the effects of contemporary capitalism on the future of work, I believe that the inability to dictate and meaningfully control one’s own working life is the problem. Democratizing work is the solution. What can be said about the malaise surrounding work under capitalism today... read more

Cardiologists Come to the Same Conclusion Regarding COVID Jab Side Effects
This is really interesting. The Jab is inducing serious artery damage or way more likely it is accelerating an already present issue. I bring this up because 90% of men have circulatory disease by age 60. Thisvaccine accelerates the process. The instant take home for all who took the vaccine is to commence high doses of vitimin C or ascorbic acid. Build up quickly to a heaping teaspoon and use a carrier like tonic water and green tea as well. I make my own tonic water by boiling grapefruit peels. *Cardiologists Come to the Same Conclusion Regarding COVID Jab Side Effects*... read more

The Medical Scandal of Killing Patients with Ventilators Continues
During the first weeks of the COVID-19 "pandemic" in 2020, when nationwide protocols were setup to be used in hospital settings, some frontline doctors began to question the practice of putting COVID-19 positive patients on ventilators, because so many of them were dying, and these doctors made it clear that they were dying from being wrongly placed on these ventilators. In other words, the ventilators were actually killing them, in many cases by collapsing their lungs.

On Thanksgiving: The Birth of Freedom, The Pilgrims and Our Founding
“Reason is that wherein man goes before all other earthly creatures and comes after God only.... For whereas God and nature hath furnished other creatures, some with hoofs, others with other instruments, and weapons both defensive and offensive, man is left naked, and destitute of all these, but may comfort himself in that one endowment of reason, and providence, whereby he is able to govern them all.” — *Rev.

The hero military veteran who saved lives in the Colorado club
Guy Benson (gay conservative Fox host/podcaster) told a very moving story about the military vet who tackled and beat up the shooter at the gay nightclub. Sounds like he beat him on the head with his own gun, and grabbed a drag queen to step on him with his spike heels. Guy described him as an absolute hero. But what if he'd killed him while saving many other lives? You wonder what the media would have done about a straight military vet killing a binary shooter that uses a plural pronoun in a gay club. He was there with his family, and his daughter's boyfriend was among the dead. He... read more

Pierre Poilievre is an angry little man. Bob Hepburn writes: To Pierre Poilievre, everything is broken in Canada — and it’s all the fault of Justin Trudeau and the Liberals.

Why Americans will pay higher natural gas prices this winter
[image: Four lit gas burners on a stove, seen from above.] Sjoerd van der Wal/Getty Images More exports, and the lingering effects of extreme weather, could affect bills.
