Sultan al Jaber keeps COP28 lunatics from taking the world back to the stone age lolz
Anger and frustration as COP28 draft text omits fossil fuel phaseout
The burning of coal, oil and gas accounts for more than three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions. It is for this reason that so many had pushed for the COP28 outcome to show that “we are truly at the beginning of the end of the fossil fuel era.”
However, COP28 President Sultan al Jaber faced a backlash last week when he claimed there was “no science” behind calls for a phase-out of fossil fuels, and that such a move would not allow sustainable development “unless you want to take the world back into caves.”
They always leave out that 82% of global energy comes from coal, oil, and gas.
You can't just wave a magic wand and make it all go away without committing global murder in the process.

Rufo only scratched the surface, Claudine Gay of Harvard reportedly has a long history of plagiarism according to Aaron Sibarium
Along with her dissertation, the decades-long pattern paints a picture of sloppiness, at best, and willful dishonesty at worst.
The whole sorry business is recounted here.
The plagiarism matter is entirely separate from the main show, however, in my opinion.
The character pattern of willfully omitting attribution involved in plagiarism is certainly related to the habit of Hamas defenders ignoring Hamas' crimes against Israel, of course, but it distracts from the issue which made Claudine Gay an issue in the first place.
She and the other university presidents could not bring themselves to say unequivocally that calls for a genocide of Jews violated their campus bullying and harassment policies.
Focusing on Gay's academic failings is already obscuring that.
Once a Nazi Barbie always a Nazi Barbie
". . . in the Middle East", but not in Israel.

Donald Trump 2023 is Bill Clinton 1992/1996 winning with a plurality because of third party candidates in Wall Street Journal poll
West's alignment with Hamas and Kennedy's openly stated purpose as a spoiler candidate combine to make them chiefly candidacies hurting the incumbent Joe Biden, but everything depends on them getting on the ballot in enough places.
Perot bled votes away from the incumbent George H. W. Bush in 1992, and from Republican Bob Dole in 1996, resulting in Clinton winning each contest but not with 50% of the popular vote.
Boltneck sounds the alarm lol
John F. Kerry, who served in Vietnam, let one go at the Dubai Climate Change Conference during his anti-coal spiel.

Just in time for election season organized retail crime is now a 36% problem for inventory losses, not 50%

Retail executives and law enforcement officials use the term organized retail crime to describe coordinated groups of thieves who shoplift or steal from retailers’ warehouses and trucks, reselling stolen merchandise on the black market.
