About That Claim That July 3-4 Were the 'Hottest Days on Record'...

Stephen Milloy, a noted climate change skeptic, performed the necessary lobotomy on the hysterics in the Wall Street Journal.

    The global-warming industry has declared that July 3 and 4 were the two hottest days on Earth on record. The reported average global temperature on those days was 62.6 degrees Fahrenheit, supposedly the hottest in 125,000 years. The claimed temperature was derived from the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, which relies on a mix of satellite temperature data and computer-model guesstimation to calculate estimates of temperature.

    One obvious problem with the updated narrative is that there are no satellite data from 125,000 years ago. Calculated estimates of current temperatures can’t be fairly compared with guesses of global temperature from thousands of years ago.

Obviously, the only hominids around 125,000 years ago — Neanderthals who didn’t give a fig about climate change — refused to share data from their earth-orbiting satellites, so that information isn’t currently available. The Neanderthals may eventually have been done in, at least partly, by climate change, so maybe they should have paid more attention to the data.

And

A more likely alternative to the 62.6-degree estimate is something around 57.5 degrees. The latter is an average of actual surface temperature measurements taken around the world and processed on a minute-by-minute basis by a website called temperature.global. The numbers have been steady this year, with no spike in July.

As for the B&J cone in the picture -

On Independence Day, Ben & Jerry’s released a statement calling for the return of “stolen indigenous land” in the United States: “Ah, the Fourth of July. Who doesn’t love a good parade, some tasty barbecue, and a stirring fireworks display? The only problem with all that, though, is that it can distract from an essential truth about this nation’s birth: The US was founded on stolen Indigenous land.”

The statement continued, “This year, let’s commit to returning it. Here’s why we need to start with Mount Rushmore.”

Why start with Mount Rushmore? If Ben & Jerry’s wants to really put its money where its mouth is, it would give back the land upon which Ben & Jerry’s headquarters is built. In fact, that’s what members of the Nulhegan Band of the Coosuk Abenaki Nation are calling for.

B&J are fooking hypocrites.

Owned by Unilever which did nothing about their Israel boycott untill forced to.

BTW, we need unscented dishwasher detergent, and when I found the highest rated was owned by Unilever, I decided to order another brand.

That "Israeli" "researcher" kidnapped in Iraq?

Tsurkov has been described as a “scholar” doing “fieldwork”. That might put people in mind of an archeologist or an anthropologist, in reality she is a political activist who put out a steady stream of editorials, articles and tweets: many of which attacked Israel and supported terrorists.

While Elizabeth Tsurkov isn’t the only Hamas apologist out there, she was employed by an activist group tied closely to the Muslim Brotherhood’s leadership in America.

Is it too cruel to say leave her to the tender mercies of Kata’ib Hezbollah: an Iraqi Shiite militia?

I believe there is an old expression about lying down with dogs, that applies here.

A real Muslim wouldn't lay with dogs. (The dogs have more sense)
