The way to falsify this would be for the Fed to keep "injecting!" (figurative language from unqualified Art Degree people but that is all they have to work with...) and have the market indexes not go up or even go down... Since people keep saying things like “The Fed is injecting billions of dollars into this market and that’s why everything is going up” I want to argue real quickly why this is illiterate nonsense. 1/ — Joe Weisenthal (@TheStalwart) February 15, 2020 Get your Pumped up...

I quite like BadEmpanada and I think he makes some valid points, but I didn't agree with him about Ukraine and Russia. He might be right about China, but apparently they are going to bring in state healthcare this year. And I'm not sure about the Uighurs, with so much propaganda and counter-propaganda.What BadEmpanada is saying is that many anti-imperialists hate the West so much that they see all of the Western enemies as the good guys, when they are often not much better.This video is...

Exxonmobil scientists say CO2 is a greenhouse gas. They also made a pretty good estimate in 1882 about the amount of CO2 that could be released along with the corresponding amount of global warming that would go with it.@MichaelEMann paraphrased 'If you dont trust climate scientists, here's Exxon-Mobil's internal projections from 1982. They were spot-on with 415ppm of CO2 & resulting warming of ~+1.2C by 2020.'

So far as most economists are concerned, the events of the last decade have thoroughly discredited advocates of austerity. Yet, it remains quite common to hear politicians from across the political spectrum calling for reductions in fiscal deficits or even fiscal surpluses. There appears to be little...

Experts concerned young people’s mental health particularly hit by reality of the climate crisis I've been debating with some deniers for three days now. I would have given up after the first day because it gets boring, but two guys who really knew their stuff about climate change joined in, and together we wiped the deniers out. They a now bouncing off the walls. What a load of junk their science is, just twigs and dust, I call it. Over the past few weeks Clover Hogan has found...

The world has never seen anything like it. Over five months, bushfires along the south-east coast of Australia have blackened an area bigger than Ireland. They have taken 33 lives, destroyed thousands of homes, shrouded cities in toxic smoke and devastated the country’s unique wildlife. They have also changed how many Australians think about the climate crisis. What was, for many, an abstract idea set in a distant future has, in the space of one summer, begun to feel like a dystopian...
