Monday morning global climate cooling change warming

by | Jan 15, 2024 | Mondays | 8 comments

There goes the weekend, and bloody hell did it ever zip by quickly. It wasn’t very long ago that I was enjoying a good glass of wine on Friday evening and relaxing, and then Saturday came and went in a blaze of Flood ‘n’ guts as I played HALO 3, and then Sunday disappeared after spending all day putting together… well, this.

So here is your Great Mondaydact Browser Cruncher for the day, and it is all on the subject of ManBearPig – which is to say, “anthropogenic global warming”. Or, as it is known today, “climate change”.

These days, pretty much anything qualifies as climate change. It really does get ridiculous after a while.

Extremely cold winters in Russia? Climate change.

Extremely hot summers in the UK? Climate change.

Unusual flooding in China? Climate change.

Earthquakes in Turkey? Climate change.

Minorities not getting hired in sufficient quantities? Climate change.

Convid? CLIMATE CHANGE!!!

It goes without saying that, if anything is due to climate change, then NOTHING is due to climate change. No one can even define what an “optimal” climate is – when you talk to me, as someone with mathematical training, about “climate change”, you are talking to someone who automatically translates that into the mental concept of a stable equilibrium, and changes away from that equilibrium therefore require recalibration to get back to that stable point.

The problem is, no one can actually define what the “optimal” climate is, and no one can define how humans, specifically, are causing the issues they describe.

So it might be helpful to listen to what some might call “climate change sceptics”, or “climate deniers”, as the globalists pejoratively call them, have to say on the subject.

Here is Dr. Willie Soon, giving a talk back in 2015 about climate modelling and the cult of anthropogenic global warming:

And here is Dr. Steven Koonin explaining the problems with climate modelling:

The late, great Dr. Freeman Dyson – the guy behind the concept of the “Dyson Sphere”, which some may recall is the notion that inspired the design of the megastructures in my beloved HALO universe – explained the issues with climate predictions also:

And now let us listen to Dr. Ian Plimer‘s keynote address on the issue:

Notice something really interesting about the people on various sides of this particular debate.

Out of the four scientists – with really-for-real PhDs – you see above, three of them have doctorates in serious theoretical and applied physics. Which means, by definition, they are REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD at mathematics. They HAVE to be. You cannot be a serious physicist without having superlative command of mathematics, statistics, and computer science.

Now look at many of the most shrill voices on the “alarmist” side of the debate. Bill Nye, for example, has a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Cornell. So he is no slouch in the maths department – but he is certainly not the equal of a serious theoretical physicist. Many (though not all) of the loudest voices arguing for serious limitations on CO2 emissions are much less qualified than that – “environmental sciences” is basically geology with all the actual HARD MAFF stripped out, and civil engineering is basically engineering with the same problem.

My point here is, the people arguing the hardest to reduce carbon – which is to say, to reduce YOU – are the ones with the lowest levels of ability to understand facts and data. And that should tell you something very important about the validity of their conclusions.

Finally, here is a perspective from the other side (sort of), explaining how climate modelling is actually not really that terrible:

I don’t know how he comes to that conclusion, given that I have heard for the past 30 years that global warming (now “climate change”) is out of control and will end life as we know it within years or decades, but hey, there is always another side to think about.

Judge Nap is back to work and busy as ever. We start with LTC Tony Shaffer, who points out the dangers posed by Republicuck insistence on siding with Banderastan:

Maj. Scott Ritter is still in Moscow, and evidently having a whale of a time exploring Russia:

Capt. Matthew Hoh has some harsh truths for our Jewish friends:

Alistair Crooke blows holes in the myth of Western moral superiority:

Larry Johnson & Ray McGovern explain the dangers of British meddling in the Israel-Gaza problem:

Ironic, is it not? They created the problem, and now they are attempting to solve it โ€“ badly, as they always and inevitably do.

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs offers a considered opinion on Israelโ€™s chances with respect to the suit the Sefrikins brought against them at the ICJ:

Keep in mind, this is South Africa we are talking about โ€“ a country that has persecuted White farmers nearly to extinction since the end of Apartheid, and where they literally cannot keep the lights on, the roads in decent condition, or the schools open. These are NOT Israelโ€™s moral betters.

That does not change the fact, however, that what Israel is doing in Gaza is TOTALLY disproportionate, and qualifies under any realistic definition as ethnic cleansing (though I disagree that it is genocide).

And, on that subject, here is Prof. John Mearsheimer, explaining that what Israel is doing, IS genocide:

Again, I do not agree with that argument, at all. Genocide would require the mass extermination of the Palestinian people. That is plainly not happening. But the Israelis ARE doing their level best to push the Pali-Walis out of their homes, and into the desert.

Letโ€™s just be clear about this: every time an Izzlamist tries to argue his way out of the death-cult that is Izzlam, hilarity always ensues.


Christian Prince does a SUPERB job of dismantling Izzlamist โ€œargumentsโ€ about the so-called โ€œscientific miraclesโ€ of their silly book:

Manosphere Highlights Daily discusses a fascinating documentary that shows insights into the highly dysfunctional dating and marriage market places in Singapore, of all places:

Having lived in Singapore, I can confirm the women there are their own worst enemies. In the West, women talk about the โ€œFour Sixesโ€ โ€“ โ€œsix pack, six figures, six feet, six inchesโ€ โ€“ or the โ€œ6/6/6 ruleโ€, which simply adds โ€œ600 horsepower, six months since last serious relationshipโ€ to the previous list.

In Singapore, the women there talk about the โ€œ5 Csโ€ โ€“ โ€œcash, credit-card, car, condo, club-membershipโ€ โ€“ as being the most important attributes a man has to have before he is considered marriage material.

It is the same basic thing โ€“ hypergamy on steroids, enabled by an environment which encourages female education and independence, and makes life too soft and easy for them. Through, I might add, the efforts of MEN.

Reading Too Much Into Things

Your Science is F***ing Weird moment of the week is from The Male Brain, and has something to do with how faces evolve, apparently:

The mammalian cranium (skull without lower jaw) is representative of mammalian diversity and is thus of particular interest to mammalian biologists across disciplines. One widely retrieved pattern accompanying mammalian cranial diversification is referred to as โ€˜craniofacial evolutionary allometryโ€™ (CREA). This posits that adults of larger species, in a group of closely related mammals, tend to have relatively longer faces and smaller braincases. However, no process has been officially suggested to explain this pattern, there are many apparent exceptions, and its predictions potentially conflict with well-established biomechanical principles. Understanding the mechanisms behind CREA and causes for deviations from the pattern therefore has tremendous potential to explain allometry and diversification of the mammalian cranium. Here, we propose an amended framework to characterise the CREA pattern more clearly, in that โ€˜longer facesโ€™ can arise through several kinds of evolutionary change, including elongation of the rostrum, retraction of the jaw muscles, or a more narrow or shallow skull, which all result in a generalised gracilisation of the facial skeleton with increased size. We define a standardised workflow to test for the presence of the pattern, using allometric shape predictions derived from geometric morphometrics analysis, and apply this to 22 mammalian families including marsupials, rabbits, rodents, bats, carnivores, antelopes, and whales. Our results show that increasing facial gracility with size is common, but not necessarily as ubiquitous as previously suggested. To address the mechanistic basis for this variation, we then review cranial adaptations for harder biting. These dictate that a more gracile cranium in larger species must represent a structural sacrifice in the ability to produce or withstand harder bites, relative to size. This leads us to propose that facial gracilisation in larger species is often a product of bite force allometry and phylogenetic niche conservatism, where more closely related species tend to exhibit more similar feeding ecology and biting behaviours and, therefore, absolute (size-independent) bite force requirements. Since larger species can produce the same absolute bite forces as smaller species with less effort, we propose that relaxed bite force demands can permit facial gracility in response to bone optimisation and alternative selection pressures. Thus, mammalian facial scaling represents an adaptive by-product of the shifting importance of selective pressures occurring with increased size. A reverse pattern of facial โ€˜shorteningโ€™ can accordingly also be found, and is retrieved in several cases here, where larger species incorporate novel feeding behaviours involving greater bite forces. We discuss multiple exceptions to a bite force-mediated influence on facial proportions across mammals which lead us to argue that ecomorphological specialisation of the cranium is likely to be the primary driver of facial scaling patterns, with some developmental constraints as possible secondary factors. A potential for larger species to have a wider range of cranial functions when less constrained by bite force demands might also explain why selection for larger sizes seems to be prevalent in some mammalian clades. The interplay between adaptation and constraint across size ranges thus presents an interesting consideration for a mechanistically grounded investigation of mammalian cranial allometry.


Your long read of the week is from Boyd D. Cathey on the subject of โ€œMLK Dayโ€, a fake holiday invented to appease the ghosts of Americaโ€™s slave-owning past, and celebrating a man who was VASTLY more flawed than the hagiographies let on these days:

Once more on the third Monday of January, Federal and state offices and many businesses either close or go on limited schedules due to Martin Luther King Day. We are awash with public observances, parades, prayer breakfasts, stepped-up school projects for our unwary and intellectually-abused children, and gobs of over-the-top television โ€œspecialsโ€ and movies, all geared to tell usโ€”to shout it in our faces, if we donโ€™t pay strict attentionโ€”just how absolutely wonderful and saintly King was.

It may seem to do no good to issue a demurrer to the veritably religious โ€œcult of Dr. King.โ€ Indeed, we are duly and solemnly informed that King was some sort of superhuman, semi-divine civil rights leader who brought the promise of equality to millions of Americans, a kind of modern St. John the Baptist ushering in the Millennium. And that he stands just below Jesus Christ in the pantheon of revered and adored historical personagesโ€ฆand in some ways, perhaps above Jesus Christ in the minds of many of his present-day devotees and epigones. There are, indeed, numerous โ€œChristianโ€ churches that now โ€œcelebrateโ€ this day just as if it were a major feast in the Christian calendar. In short, Martin Luther King has received de facto canonization religiously and in the public mind as no other person in American history.

Mention the fact that King probably plagiarized as much as 40 % of his Boston University Ph.D. dissertation [cf. Theodore Pappas, Plagiarism and the Culture War: The Writings of Martin Luther King, Jr, and Other Prominent Americans, 1998 and Martin Luther King Jr Plagiarism Story, 1994], or that he worked closely with known Communists throughout his life, or that he advocated American defeat in Vietnam while praising Ho Chi Minh, or that he implicitly countenanced violence and Marxism, especially later in his life [cf., Congressional Record, 129, no. 130 (October 3, 1983): S13452-S13461]โ€”mention any of these accusations confirmed begrudgingly by his establishment hagiographers David Garrow and Taylor Branch, or mention his even by current standards violent โ€œrough sexโ€ escapades which apparently involved even under-agers (cf., Cooper Sterling, VDare.com, January 13, 2018), and you immediately get condemned by not just the zealous King flame-keepers on the Left, but by such โ€œracially acceptableโ€ Neoconservatives as Brian Kilmeade and Dinesh Dโ€™Souza who supposedly are on the Right.

Indeed, in some ways Establishment โ€œconservativesโ€ such as Kilmeade, Rich Lowry (National Review), Dโ€™Souza, Glenn Beck, the talking heads on Fox, and many others, not only eagerly buy into this narrative, they now have converted King into a full-fledged, card-carrying member of โ€œConservatism Inc.โ€โ€”the (contemporary) โ€œconservative movementโ€โ€”a โ€œplaster saintโ€ iconized as literally no one else in our history.

Celebrating King becomes a means for these ersatz conservatives to demonstrate their โ€œcivil rightsโ€ and โ€œegalitarianโ€ bona fides. King Day has become for the Conservative Movement an opportunity for it to beat its chest, brag about its commitment to civil rights and the American โ€œdream,โ€ the unrealized idea of equality (that is, to distort and re-write the history of the American Founding which was emphatically not about establishing โ€œequal rightsโ€), and to protect its left flank against the ever increasing charges that it could be, just might be, maybe isโ€”โ€œracistโ€ or โ€œwhite supremacist.โ€

And for the โ€œfarther Left,โ€ King Dayโ€”just as the โ€œcult for the martyred George Floydโ€โ€”has become as a major ideological blitzkrieg, a weaponized cudgel used to strike down and silence anyone, anywhere, who might offer the slightest dissent to the latest barbarity and latest โ€œadvanceโ€ in civil rights, now expanded to include not just everything โ€œracial,โ€ but also same sex marriage, transgenderism and abortion on demand. Martin Luther Kingโ€“that deeply and irredeemably flawed and fraudulent figure imposed upon us and our consciousnessโ€”has become a totem who serves in death the purposes of continuing Revolution.

Dawn of the AI

Fun with A.I. shows us what the idealised goddess from every country looks like:

And here is what the ultimate battle-boss would look like too:

While we are on the subject of AI shitlordery, let us take a look at what would happen if we asked Midjourney to come up with the most beautiful ideal woman for every country:

Interesting, is it not, how the ideal woman ALWAYS tends to be of lighter skin colour than the average? And is it not also fascinating how even the most beautiful possible idealised African and South Asian women are still quite ugly, relative to their sisters from Eastern and Western Europe? And how the Central and South American women tend to bifurcate into very light-skinned beauties virtually indistinguishable from their European counterparts, or darker-skinned types who are significantly less attractive?

Just for shits and giggles, when you watch that last video, ignore the country and just judge the picture on the basis of looks, using the classic 1-10 scale. If you keep track of your scores, I think you will likely find a cluster of 9s and 10s for the nations of European descent – I rated Belarus, Romania, Russia, Portugal, and Spain as HARD 10s, for example, and most of the other European nations as 8s, and 9s – and then 6s and 7s for most of the Middle Eastern and Central/South American nations, then going right down into the 5s and 4s for the South Asian and African nations. The East and Southeast Asian nations tend to be a bit more random.

This is precisely why people think AI is “racist”. It isn’t. It simply looks at the same data we humans do, and draws the obvious conclusions, without all of the silly cultural “filtering” programmed into the rest of us. What it shows us is often terrifying to the liberal mind.

Remember that bit above about how vampire bats share affection by swapping spit filled with blood?

Yeah, well, they ain’t the only ones.

Here is a blast from the past, from one of my favourite cheesy movies EVER – Van Helsing, starring Huge Jacked Man:

Fun fact: Richard Roxburgh, the guy who clearly had a blast playing Dracula in that movie, married the dark-haired vampiress, played by Silvia Colloca, who is a trained mezzo-soprano, cookbook author, and actress, originally from Italy.

That’s right – he married a gorgeous and highly talented Eyetie. Lucky bastard.

Even better – he pumped her full of babies, they have three kids together, and have been happily married for very nearly 20 years.

The downside? They live in Australia – where, as we always say around here, EVERYTHING WANTS TO KILL YOU AND EAT YOUR EYEBALLS FOR JUJUBEES!!!!!!!!

    The Deep Hot Biosphere: The Myth Of Fossil Fuels
    by Thomas Gold (Author), Freeman Dyson (Foreword)

    What if there’s life under the surface of the earth? At a fundamental level all life on the surface feeds off solar energy. But not all lifeforms do.

    What if hydrocarbons are their output or waste product, and it shapes the surface life in ways we don’t often recognize?

    I am not smart enough nor wealthy enough to confirm all the hypothesis in this work. I am smart enough to recognize someone who is challenging a normative view of the world and commands tremendous firepower to do so. Fully recommend. The nature of hydrocarbons shapes the nature of our geo-political landscape, if we have it wrong then everything afterwards will be done wrong.

    The best comment I saw regarding the climate change scam was that its advocates’ arguments are fundamentally unserious and unscientific. The quote acknowledged that warming exists (which I disagree with) but it was along the lines of “the way they try to prove it is human-caused is like trying to prove John murdered Jane by pointing out how horrible Jane’s murder was.”

    Ultimately, the big flaming ball in the sky has a bigger impact on the world’s temperatures than anything us puny humans are doing.

    I must have different taste to you didactic, I agree with the Europeans being between 8 and 10s on the AI generated. Russia is easily the best, follow by Belarus (my personal favourite) and Sweden. Ukraine was up there. I find some of the North east Asian ones also 8s, China for example is easy 8 maybe a 9, Japan an 8 and South Korea a 7. I do find many Facial features of Asian women attractive. Africans I think 1 or 2s, I do not find African woman attractive in general.
