Confusing leaky computational prediction modeling pipelines with "reality" is a catastrophic mental illness that the majority of "experts" in science, politics, economics & military suffer from.

Most of the power sector’s emissions come from a small minority of plants - Shutting down the worst 5% would cut electricity's carbon emissions by 75%.
The Role of Industrial Hemp in Carbon Farming - Plant Hemp!
Industrial hemp has been scientifically proven to absorb more CO2 per hectare than any forest or commercial crop and is therefore the ideal carbon sink. In addition, the CO2 is permanently bonded within the fiber that is used for anything from textiles, to paper and as a building material.
Billionaire-backed mining firm to seek electric vehicle metals in Greenland
Mineral exploration company KoBold Metals, backed by billionaires including Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, has signed an agreement with London-listed Bluejay Mining (JAY.L) to search in Greenland for critical materials used in electric vehicles.
Comment by @wrathofgnon: "Electric vehicles was never about saving the environment. It was always just about prolonging the status quo for a few more years of recklessly burning through every remaining ecosystem, every remaining energy source. And in the end it was all for nothing."

China's Giant Ionosphere-Zapping Radar Is a Defense System Masquerading as Science
The South China Morning Post recently revealed plans for a new Chinese radar facility on the island of Hainan, China’s southernmost point. Described as a “high-powered incoherent scatter radar,” this installation will bounce radio waves off the Earth's high-altitude layer of charged gas called the ionosphere. Although the project is in step with the county’s other mega-science projects, experts think the new facility is more interested in military matters than discovering the secrets of Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Things Are So Bad In California That Farmers Are Employing "Water Witches"
"While water witching (dowsing) sounds a bit odd, a German study conducted in the 1990s spanned a decade that paired geologists and dowsers in Africa to drill for water and see how accurate they were. In Sri Lanka alone, drill teams drilled 691 wells under the guidance of dowsers and discovered water 96% of the time. "
Extreme weather takes climate change models ‘off the scale’ (FT)
“Chinese authorities said the volumes of torrential rain that drenched central China’s Henan province last week - Zhengzhou saw 20cm of water fall in a single hour - had exceeded anything on record for the past 5,000 y.”
"And in Russia, a state of emergency has been declared in Yakutia in the Far East, where authorities are creating artificial rain by seeding clouds with silver iodine in an attempt to put out more than 200 fires.
