Alarming surge in CO2 levels unveiled by ancient ice, study shows

Not Alarming: CO2 rising after the last Ice Age 100,000 to 11,000 years ago

Researchers from Oregon State University have determined that the rate at which atmospheric carbon dioxide levels are increasing is ten times faster than the fastest rate observed over the last 50,000 years. This finding comes from analyzing Antarctic ice cores, allowing scientists to piece together the Earth’s atmospheric composition changes over millennia.

Astronomers say we may live at the center of a cosmic void 2 billion light-years wide that defies the laws of cosmology | Silly Humans

• Evidence suggests that our galaxy is inside a cosmic void, a vast expanse of relatively empty space.
• According to our laws of cosmology, however, this void should not exist.
• New research says that such a void may explain unusual behavior in nearby galaxies.  

Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, is just one of billions in our universe.

Get Jerry: Thou Shall Not Support Israel

Opinion: Jerry Seinfeld’s Teflon Legacy Could Finally Be at Risk

Perhaps his problem is less with the left’s influence on television than with the left, period. Seinfeld, whose net worth recently passed $1 billion, has long fashioned himself an apolitical comedian, but of course he’s far from an apolitical figure. A longtime donor to Democratic candidates and causes, he has also long been a full-throated supporter of the far-right State of Israel—not so much in the abstract sense of celebrities who wax poetically about Israel’s “right to exist” than in the concrete, enthusiastic sense of a man who once took his family to an IDF “fantasy camp” in the West Bank. There he participated in “shooting training with displays of combat,” according to the camp, and posed joyfully with the same soldiers enforcing the illegal occupation that, in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, has now seen the slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinian men, women, and children.

COVID: Dr. Collins Under Oath

Lab leak possible. 6ft distancing not based on Science. More..

Collins was Fauci’s boss during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Majority Counsel: “Putting aside de novo, the possibility of a laboratory or research-related accident, a researcher doing something in a lab, getting infected with a virus, and then sparking the pandemic. Is that scenario a conspiracy theory”?

Dr. Collins: “Not at this point.”

…

Majority Counsel: “We have talked about this an awful lot, I think I know the answer to the question, but I want to ask it. Is the origin of COVID-19 still unsettled science?”

Dr. Collins: “Yes.”

The “6 feet apart” social distancing guidance that federal public health officials endorsed was likely not based on any science or data. Dr. Collins agreed with Dr. Fauci that he has not seen any evidence to support the “6 feet apart” directive — which was promoted by public health officials and caused widespread economic and social damage to Americans.

Majority Counsel: “Moving on to social distancing and the various regulations surrounding that. On March 22, 2020, the CDC issued guidance describing social distancing to include remaining out congregant settings, avoiding mass gatherings, and maintaining a distance of approximately six feet from others when possible. We asked Dr. Fauci where the six feet came from and he said it kind of just appeared, is the quote. Do you recall science or evidence that supported the six-feet distance?”

Dr. Collins: “I do not.”

Transparent Biden moves to block House from getting tapes of his interviews with special counsel on classified docs

President Joe Biden has asserted executive privilege to block House committees from obtaining audio recordings of his own interviews with special counsel Robert Hur about Biden’s handling of classified documents.

Hur’s description of those interviews — laid out in a 345-page report released in February — fueled a firestorm over the president’s memory and mental fitness. In that report, Hur said Biden came across as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

Michael Cohen’s Been Texting Rosie O’Donnell Amid Testimony | Angry, But Not Alone.

Jacob Bernstein of The New York Times spoke to O’Donnell at length about her relationship with Cohen, which she said began in 2019 after she reached out to him while he was serving a prison sentence for tax fraud and campaign finance violations. O’Donnell eventually drove to West Virginia to see Cohen and what was supposed to be a one hour visit turned into a six hour visit where at one point the two held hands.

“When someone is in a relationship that unhealthy and breaks free, it’s a very lonely time,” O’Donnell said.

The Trial Against Trump Will Throw the Election into Chaos | What’s The Crime?

But missing from this wall-to-wall coverage is any mention of the underlying crime that Trump falsified business records to advance his campaign. And that is a fatal flaw in the case, because New York law stipulates that falsifying business records can only be charged as felonies (as Bragg has done) if it’s done to further another crime. Trump has not been charged with another crime, though Bragg has floated the theory that the business records were falsified to deprive 2016 voters of information about his tryst with Daniels.

There are other flaws as well.

Race-Obsessed Hostin: Too Many White People in Trump Trial Courtroom

Hostin: Racist, foolish, obsessed and arrogant

Even though Cohen had been convicted for lying under oath and served time for it, Hostin insisted the jury found him to be a credible witness. The reason why? He spoke with a New York accent:
