Despite climate arm-waving, World Bank finances burning more coal, oil and gas

More inconvenient truth reported by the German NGO Urgewald: “The World Bank’s active energy project finance significantly favors fossil fuels over renewable energy — $21 billion to $7 billion”… about 25% of which is coal. Emissions are never going down.

From my cold dead lips…

I was refused a straw last week at a Washington, DC restaurant last week. Apparently (who knew?) straws were banned on January 1 and restaurants have until July 1 to comply with the irrational dictate. I just ordered “soda shop style” plastic straws from Amazon. The law says restaurants can’t provide plastic straws. It doesn’t say I can’t bring my own. Who would ever have though straws would become a front in the struggle for liberty?

As per my 2009 Amazon.com best seller, “Green Hell: How Environmentalists Plan to Control Your Life and What You Can Do to Stop Them” (Regnery, 2009). there is no part of your life that the totalitarian greens don’t want to own and operate.

GOP Congressman Matt Gaetz goes Al Gore; JunkScience challenges Gaetz to debate

In an effort to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory following the unanimous Senate defeat of the Green New Deal last week, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is introducing an alternative bill to the Green New Deal, called the Green Real Deal. In a commentary published today, Gaetz channels Al Gore and Gore’s “The debate is over” claim, writing: “The reality of climate change is a stupid thing to argue about.” JunkScience was the first to challenge Al Gore to debate in January 2006. Let us be the first to challenge Gaetz on his foolishness. Let’s go at it, Congressman. If debating climate is so “stupid,” it should be a lay-up to waste me.

Calabrese: Government… not private sector… funds vast majority of hormesis research

“Thus, it appears that supporting hormesis research does not appear to have been a broad and active strategy by the private sector to influence regulatory processes.” Read the paper.

Stan Young study exposes publication bias, p-hacking, and junk meta analysis in environmental epidemiology — and rubbishes a highly-cited air quality paper in the process

Since the days of the EPA secondhand smoke risk assessment, JunkScience.com has had contempt for the bogus statistical technique of meta-analysis. We have also taken the lead in exposing as fraud claims that ambient air quality kills people. JunkScience.com friend Stan Young has just published a new paper dismantling a major 2012 air quality study (headlined below) as the product of publication bias and p-hacking, thus exposing its meta analysis methodology as just a bunch of junk.

Study: No kids ‘poisoned’ by lead in Flint water

Child blood lead levels actually slightly declined from harmless to even less harmless during the crisis. This study has been out for two weeks. No media outlet has reported it. It was much more fun and profitable for the #FakeNews media to report the scare as below.
