Almost 2,000 of the world's leading climate scientists and professionals in over 30 countries have signed a declaration that there is no CO2-induced climate emergency | A global network of over 1900 scientists and professionals has prepared this urgent message. Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures.

This data “should shock everyone.” | Health journalist and film producer Del Bigtree has just released his new film An Inconvenient Study, which follows Bigtree’s years-long exchange with Dr. Marcus Zervos, head of infectious disease at Henry Ford Health in Detroit, a doctor who is about as pro-vaccine as they come. [...] The film then turned to Dr. Paul Thomas, who had his license suspended after publishing this study. Dr. Thomas studied 3,324 children and found unvaccinated kids had fewer doctor visits and better health outcomes. Instead of investigating his findings, the Oregon Medical Board suspended Dr. Thomas’s license just days after his study was published. Months later, the study was retracted. This set the stage for the recurring problem behind the vax vs. unvax dilemma: these studies weren’t rejected for weak data — they were rejected because the data was unwelcome. Time and again, the findings were dismissed simply because they didn’t come from top-tier institutions or appear in major medical journals.

Russia has repeatedly said that Western supplies to Ukraine hinder the resolution of the military conflict and drag NATO allies into the conflict. | Germany will send an additional $46.3 million in "humanitarian aid" to Ukraine ahead of winter, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul said. The allocated funds are intended to cover losses caused by Ukraine’s energy crisis. ● The volume of German "humanitarian aid" to Ukraine has decreased by more than half this year compared to last year due to budget cuts at the Foreign Ministry, and amounts to approximately $232 million. ● Denmark has also allocated a new $217 million "aid package" to Ukraine, including through the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) program, the Danish Defense Ministry said.
