"This year’s post-melting season ice sheet is 40 percent larger than the record low, which was set in 2012.â€
We may be on the verge of some cooler decades. Predicting weather and climate are equally difficult.
And Willis Eschenbach explains it too.
Seems cloud cover has increased thanks to ice melt at the poles.

The fruits of our environmentalist pandemic panic.
Electricity Bills in Italy Rise by Almost 30% from Friday
This is the kind of thing that gave Italy Mussolini in the first place.

The razor’s edge of life, confirmed by the physical sciences, has left the modern/
In particular, it has been strangely presumed that western progress
over the last 200 years has shattered gradual evolutionary development
so that the natural world is unable to cope with all of the massive
changes. Rather than realize the doctrine of evolution cannot explain
much of anything at the end of the day, all so many have doubled down
on it, even to the point of using environmentalis
The razor's edge of life, however, can be taken another way. The extremely narrow frontier between life and non-life in the universe should rather be a tremendous testimony to the existence of an ultimate Designer that only the infinite personal God of the Bible can adequately explain. It is actually much easier to argue that the created world is fallen and in rebellion against its Creator - which can be empirically verified from any point of view. How can a fallen world be escaped from? Politics and man-made religion invariably come up short offering masks and other nefarious band-aids as a legalistic prescription to man's grave problems - pun intended - all of which invariably worsen problems rather than make them better in case anyone has not noticed?
I am thus now in Narva, Estonia on the
very border between Russia and the EU teaching a very small church
group about the grace of God - particularly with the book of Romans.
Estonia, perhaps the least unchurched country in the world, needs the
grace of God as we all do. The razor's edge of life is even more true
spiritually than physically. The margins are very thin, particularly
today. Please join with me in prayer as we try to help others here,
both with regard to missionaries and locals, establish some eternal
foundations on the hard ground of northern Europe in the bare spiritual
landscapes of the former Soviet Union. There is much beauty here thanks
to the glories of the Creator which still shines through the broken,
fallen world we all live in - but people need a Creator-Redeeme
St. Paul therefore writes, "For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body. For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance we wait eagerly for it (Romans 8:18-25)."

This is a REALLY GOOD explanation of how good intentions coupled with myopia can have devastating consequences. The almost exclusive attention to medical experts (or those who pass themselves off as such, or simply to some to the exclusion of other equally qualified medical experts) by policy officials, to the neglect of economists, psychologists, sociologists, engineers, and more has caused supply chain problems leading to starvation in some parts of the world, and undernutrition and malnutrition in more places, and all kinds of other problems, many life threatening or financially devastating to millions.

Things to consider:

*Twenty-six of them had ties to China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology
(WIV), which is at the heart of the controversy over its gain-of-functio
*The heavy conflicts were revealed by an investigation by The Daily Telegraph newspaper and confirm the questions many experts have raised over the paper’s credibility and motives.
*Signatory Peter
Daszak, EcoHealth Alliance president, is a name that comes up often,
because Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance funded controversial gain-of-functio
*Signatory Jeremy Farrar, director of the Wellcome Trust, published work with the head of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, George Gao, Ph.D., who he refers to as an "old friendâ€
*John Mackenzie, a tropical infectious disease expert at Curtin University in Perth, Australia, was a signatory on The Lancet paper, but he did not disclose that he was also a committee member of the Scientific Advisory Committee of WIV’s Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases.

During a recent Senate Judiciary hearing, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) interrupted the proceedings on how the FBI had failed to investigate sexual abuse by the former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar to tell everyone that the FBI had also failed to respond to Grassley’s letters over several years.
Then Grassley said something even more incredible: the FBI had declined to meet with him at all. Month after month. Year after year. At any time. For any reason. This is incredible because Grassley has been a ranking member on the Judiciary Committee for a long time — so he provides oversight of the FBI. Well, he supposedly provides oversight. In actuality, the FBI avoids oversight. As Grassley told everyone: "I’ve asked Director Wray several times to meet with me relating to a very troubling briefing that I received in August 2020 from the FBI and which was later weaponized against my and Senator Johnson’s oversight. Director Wray and his staff have ignored my request to meet.â€
Think about what Grassley is saying: he can’t get the FBI to meet with him about a briefing the FBI gave him! Do you still believe that Congress has real oversight on the FBI? Because Grassley just told you: it's a lie. He also had his letter entered into the official record. Grassley’s letter is an extraordinary document because of how much insight it gives the average American citizen into how our government really works:
On August 6, 2020, we received a briefing from the FBI which, according to the FBI, was done in conjunction with the Intelligence Community (IC). This briefing was done because of political pressure from Democratic Leadership, not because of any real threat. We have asked to meet with FBI Director Christopher Wray to discuss our concerns and have requested records relating to the briefing; however, he and his Chief of Staff, Corey Ellis, have refused to answer our communications and have failed to provide any answers or information. FBI leadership’s failure to respond to congressional inquiries not only undermines the FBI as an institution, it also undermines the work of its dedicated agents and staff.
Why did the FBI do a phony briefing for Grassley and Johnson?
On July 13, 2020, Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senator Mark Warner, Speaker
Nancy Pelosi, and Representative Adam Schiff sent a letter, with a classified attachment, to the FBI to express a purported belief that Congress was the subject of a foreign disinformation campaign. In that letter, which was publicly released on July 20, 2020, they requested a briefing on foreign efforts to interfere in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. The classified attachment included unclassified elements that, among other things, attempted — and failed — to tie our joint investigation into the Biden family’s foreign financial deals to foreign disinformation.
So Schumer, Warner, Pelosi and Schiff were trying to slow down Grassley and Johnson’s "joint investigations into the Biden family’s foreign financial deals.†Got that? How did the Democrats do it? By leaking to their allies in the corporate media of course.

The Chicoms are provoking the U.S. in Taiwan.
38 Chinese warplanes infiltrate Taiwan’s air defense zone in largest reported breach
According to the Minister of National Defense for the Republic of China — the formal name for the Taiwanese government — China sent the 38 military aircraft into the southwest section of Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) in two separate waves.
The first wave of 25 aircraft included 18 J-16 and four Su-30 fighter jets, two nuclear-capable H-6 bombers and a Y-8 antisubmarine warfare aircraft.
"25 PLA aircraft (J-16*18, SU-30*4, H-6*2 and Y-8 ASW) entered #Taiwan’s southwest ADIZ on October 1, 2021. Please check our official website for more information,†Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense tweeted.

The Taiwanese military reportedly issued radar warnings, activated missile defense systems and deployed aircraft to respond to the initial aerial incursion.
Hours after the first wave of 25 Chinese military aircraft came through, a second smaller wave of 13 Chinese military aircraft again entered Taiwan’s southwest ADIZ. The second wave included 10 more J-16 fighter jets, two more H-6 bombers and a KJ-500 airborne early warning and control aircraft.
"13 PLA aircrafts (J-16*10, H-6*2 and KJ-500*1) entered #Taiwan’s southwest ADIZ on October 1, 2021. Please check our official website for more information,†Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense tweeted.

The Taiwanese military said it again issued radar warnings, activated missile defense systems and deployed aircraft to respond to the initial aerial incursion.
The new record-setting Chinese military flight comes as the Chinese military has, for months, sent its warplanes into Taiwan’s ADIZ.
The previous record high number of Chinese military aircraft flown into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) was 28. The record high before that came in April when 25 PLA aircraft entered the Taiwanese ADIZ. During that previous record-setting Chinese military flight, Chinese warplanes were also observed flying what looked like practice runs of strikes on U.S. warships operating in the region near the Philippines. In March, China sent 20 military aircraft into Taiwan’s ADIZ.
While Taiwan governs itself as an independent nation, China claims Taiwan as part of its territory.

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

The Republicans refused to support President Trump because, well, mean tweets and stuff! And now they are crying because the Democrats are doing what we all knew they would do.
I am so sick of the GOP and their crybaby attitudes. They caused all this by trying to suck up to the media and ruling class.

BREAKING → Democrats just blocked a Republican motion to keep the IRS from spying on your bank account.
They believe the IRS should have unlimited access to monitor your transactions. Their surveillance program is a flagrant invasion of privacy.

UPDATE: on the status of two leaders of the Woke movement:
The admittedly Marxist founder of BLM, Patrisse Cullors, is now on her fourth woke home. She has moved from the barricades to the security walls of her Topanga Canyon digs in an all-white, all-rich paradise – the rewards for revolutionary service.
Professor Ibram X. Kendi (Critical Race Theory) has evolved from hawking his Orwellian message of "All racism bad! But SOME racism good!" Now he has mastered the art of lecturing the wannabe woke for $20,000 an hour via ZOOM hectoring, while collecting his $250,000 prize of a 'genius' grant from the adoring guilty white Elites.
These are facts; make of them what you wish...

Bill Joel called masks "the stranger". How long before the stranger becomes the person and the person the stranger?

Grab your socks and drop your, well, hold onto your socks! Your are going to take it in that dark place that is rightly unvisited in the next few months.
Someone is betting that oil will soar to a record US$200 per barrel
Could the energy crunch get so bad that oil prices hit US$200 a barrel? One options trader thinks so.
Brent US$200 calls for December 2022, options contracts that would profit a buyer from a rally toward that level, traded 1,300 times on Wednesday. While the contracts don’t expire until October next year, they could profit from any sharp spike in prices this winter or next summer.
In a market where a single cargo of crude would currently fetch about US$160 million, the US$130,000 wager on oil reaching an all-time high is tiny. However, it reflects the fact that a growing number of options traders are betting that an energy crunch this winter may see prices rip higher.
Brent crude, the global benchmark, hit US$80 for the first time in three years this week. Market watchers see demand exceeding supply to the tune of more than a million barrels a day and expect that switching from gas to oil because of high power prices could exacerbate that deficit. Bank of America Corp. this week underlined an earlier call that crude could top US$100 a barrel at some point over the winter, if it is exceptionally cold.
It’s not just US$200 calls that have been trading in recent days. Holdings in Brent US$100 calls through to the end of next year have climbed by 20,000 contracts this month.

I noticed that my friend Roger had gone all quiet about Florida. For a while he was claiming that hospitalization
It turns out that with NO masking and NO lockdowns, hospitalization
It also highlights another problem. IF Florida had imposed mask and lockdown mandates, everyone would be saying "See, masks and lockdowns work!" (they don't).
But since Florida did NOT give in to the hysteria, the result gets buried, and neither Roger nor the mainstream media say one word about it.
Go figure ...
