Forbes Censors Award-Winning Environmentalist’s Apology Over Three-Decade ‘Climate Scare’ – So Here It Is
On behalf of environmentalists everywhere, I would like to formally apologize for the climate scare we created over the last 30 years. Climate change is happening. It’s just not the end of the world. It’s not even our most serious environmental problem. I may seem like a strange person to be saying all of this. I have been a climate activist for 20 years and an environmentalist for 30. But as an energy expert asked by Congress to provide objective expert testimony, and invited by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to serve as Expert Reviewer of its next Assessment Report, I feel an obligation to apologize for how badly we environmentalists have misled the public. I know that the … facts will sound like “climate denialism” to many people. But that just shows the power of climate alarmism.

83 Tons Of Fake Gold Bars: Gold Market Rocked By Massive China Counterfeiting Scandal
… the discovery of what may be one of the biggest gold counterfeiting scandal in recent history. And yes, not only does it involve China, but it emerges from a city that has become synonymous for all that is scandalous about China: Wuhan itself.
…more than a dozen Chinese financial institutions, mainly trust companies (i.e., shadow banks) loaned 20 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) over the past five years to Wuhan Kingold Jewelry with pure gold as collateral and insurance policies to cover any losses. There was just one problem: the “gold” turned out to be gold-plated copper.

The public flouts social distancing regulations because it has no trust in them
I’m looking at reports saying that Israel’s “second wave” is imminent, but can’t find Health Ministry data supporting this horror scenario. We must present the public with the facts: wearing a mask has some value in closed spaces. Out in the open though, where the danger of infection is zero, a mask is not necessary.

Report: Israeli Cyber-Attack Caused Secret Iranian Nuclear Missile Plant to Explode
A massive explosion in an underground missile factory that rocked Tehran and sent an enormous fireball into the sky was almost certainly caused by sabotage, a leading security analyst told Arab News. The blast took place at the Khojir military explosive manufacturing and testing site in the Parchin region of the Alborz mountains roughly 12 miles southeast of Tehran. “Although military and defense industry accidents do occur in Iran, the consensus appears to be a cyberstrike by Israel against Iran,”

Recovered COVID patients are baffling doctors with complaints of freak pains, lungs that just won’t get back to normal, and a range of incapacitating psychological issues. “What we are seeing is very frightening,” Prof. Gabriel Izbicki of Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center told The Times of Israel. “More than half the patients, weeks after testing negative, are still symptomatic.”

A divided Supreme Court on Monday struck down a Louisiana law regulating abortion clinics…in the first big abortion case of the Trump era.

Wade decision in 1973.

Talks are being held this week in Brussels but Britain’s refusal to extend the end-2020 deadline has increased pressure to reach a deal by then or be cast adrift without any trading arrangements in place.
