Listening to insane House Democrats hector Big Oil CEOs on climate.

Really something.

Image
Republicans doing a surprisingly good job defending the oil & gas industry at the House #BigOilShowTrial.

Democrats looking stupid, as expected, trying to play gotcha.

CEOs, playing both sides.... mouthing climate concern but emphasizing reality -- society needs oil & gas.
Stark raving mad @RashidaTlaib accuses Chevron CEO of making $29 million for 'poisoning the planet.'

Also raves Chevron owes $51 billion to indigenous people in Latin America.

Puzzled CEO responds he has no idea what she is talking about.

Rave on, crazy person. Image
Ex-waitress now quizzing Big Oil CEOs. Image
.@AOC to ExxonMobil CEO:

'Some of us have to live the future that you are setting on fire.' 😜

Very unimpressive questions and comments. Image
Kudos to @RepAndyBiggsAZ for lecturing Big Oil CEOs on their appeasement of climate idiocy. Image
Georgia Congressman Hank Will-the-Navy-Capsize-Guam Johnson quizzes Big Oil CEOs at the #HouseBigOilShowTrial.

Hard to believe this is what democracy has come to after 2,500 years. Image
Crazy @CoriBush accuses Big Oil CEOs of white supremacy for making tear gas, causing violent crime and killing millions of people.

The clear leader in today's Most Lunatic Congressman Sweepstakes.

I will be going through the new MAHA Report page-by-page in a single thread. Stay tuned. 1/ nytimes.com/interactive/20…Image
This chart from the MAHA Report (p. 6) is apparently intended to support the claim that: "The health of American children is in crisis."

Fact Check:

1. Bait and Switch. The chart compares life expectancy vs. per capita health expenditure among developed countries . It says nothing about the health of children or that their health is in crisis.

2. Other Country Fallacy. The chart doesn't even really support its ostensible purpose -- i.e., to show that Americans are less healthy despite spending the most on health care. We have a much larger, and much more ethnically and economically diverse population than the other developed countries. We spend more for the same health care because we can afford to pay more. Consider, for example, the rationale behind President Trump's Executive order on prescription drugs, issued to fix the problem of Americans subsidizing global drug prices. We pay more because we can afford it. We also have more ready access to health care. That costs money and it's why people from around the world come to the US for health care vs. being stuck on a waiting list in, say, Canada or the UK. We are different than other countries.

3. Data Quality. The chart's source, "Our World in Data", is a UK non-profit. I don't know how reliable its charts are. I don't know how accurate the statistics are. And I'm quite sure "Our World in Data" charts do not satisfy the White House Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) stringent requirements on data quality used to set policy. 2/Image
This page from the MAHA Report (p. 8) is intended to support the notion that: "America's children are facing an unprecedented health crisis."

Fact Check:

1. The highlighted study published in 2025 stands for the proposition that our children are getting sicker. It is a survey of children's health for the period 1999-2018. academicpedsjnl.net/article/S1876-…

2. The problem with the study is that it is a mere survey based on self-reported data. Children or their parents were asked to check boxes on whether the child had ever been diagnosed with any of at least 30 (often vague) conditions. There was no verification of the diagnoses.

3. Here's what study authors had to say: "Several limitations should be considered when interpreting our findings. First, we rely on self or caregiver report of chronic conditions and functional limitations rather than verifiable medical diagnoses, which is subject to recall bias, which may be differential across the age threshold (as parent report is primary used for ages ≤17 whereas ages ≥18 is primarily self-report). Moreover, our data limit ascertainment of CC to those who have been diagnosed, potentially biasing against identification in those with poor access to care. Second, the low prevalence of specific conditions limits our ability to explore disparities and trends for each individual condition, as does NHIS design limitations that result in inconsistent assessment of some conditions across years...."

4. This study is best described as garbage-in/garbage out polling nonsense. 3/Image

Data center demand for electricity is projected to increase 50% by the end of the decade.

10 large nuclear plants would be required to meet this demand. 3/ Image

This and all similar global temperature graphs are meaningless.

The great former MIT physics professor Walter Lewin explains why. 1/ Image
Former MIT physics professor Walter Lewin explains why NOAA temperature graphs are "meaningless." 2/
A few more points:

1. Less than 8% of NOAA temperature stations are accurate to within 1°C.

2. In 1885, for example, not much of the globe was covered by surface temperature stations.

3. Even today, much of the Earth's surface its not covered by temperature stations.

That's just some of the uncertainty omitted from NOAA's "global temperature" graph. 3/junkscience.com/2016/01/only-7…Image

Norwegian statistics bureau throws cold water on emissions-driven global warming hysteria.

"We find that the effect of man-made CO2 emissions does not appear to be strong enough to cause systematic changes in the temperature fluctuations during the last 200 years."

More from the Norwegian statistics bureau:

All four previous interglacial periods were warmer than today, while CO2 at pre-industrial levels.

More from the Norwegian statistics bureau:

- Current Greenland temperatures have not exceeded natural variability of the past 4,000 years.

- Long periods over the past 10,000 years were warmer than today.

The Red Pope swings and misses at the origin of warming and emissions:

1. The current warming trend began at the bottom of the Little Ice Age in the late 1600s.

2. Recent warming began with the series of El Ninos that began in 1980.

3. We are in an El Nino year now.

4. As to emissions, warming precedes emissions. It gooses the natural carbon cycle. See Vostok ice cores and this -

5. Only 12% or so of atmospheric CO2 is manmade. 8/
Image
The Red Pope just makes it up:

1. There is no way to say that the temperature rise since the 1970s is the fastest in 2,000 years.

2. There was little if any urban heat island effect 2,000 years ago and no satellites.

3. Then there's this: "Dansgaard-Oeschger events are rapid N. Hemisphere temp jumps of up to 15°C in Greenland that repeatedly occurred w/i a few decades during the last ice age."

4. Climategate revealed that temperature targets like 1.5°C are just 'plucked out of thin air' and are not science.

5. No one knows what the global temperature in 1850 was.

6. 'Ocean acidification' is a myth. The oceans may have become slightly less basic, but that is not more acidic. Two is not more negative than three.'

7. There is no evidence of any effects from any ocean pH change.

8. Norther Hemisphere snow cover is trending up. 9/

The Red Pope imagines the fake 97% 'climate consensus' is science and attacks capitalism.

1. Recent warming correlates with El Ninos, not emissions.

2. Consensus is not science. And the 97% consensus is bogus.

3. Capitalism and emissions have taken humanity from less than 1 billion to over 8 billion people. You'd think the Pope would be praising both. 10/junkscience.com/2023/01/milloy…

USA Today doesn't like my tweet from last month👇and tries to 'fact check' it.

Let's walk through USA Today fact-checker Kate Petersen's effort. 1/ https://t.co/8QbMtAiebpusatoday.com/story/news/fac…
Image
USA Today's 'fact check' is dishonest from the start.

Although the 'fact check' presents several images, the tweet being attacked is not one of them. The tweet is merely linked and quoted.

The tweet's graph, of course, is what made it 1.9 million views-compelling. 2/

The USA Today 'fact check' reports that the satellite data among NOAA and NASA program vary.

First, all satellite temps are processed estimates and not direct measurements. So different processing ill produce different estimates.

I like the NASA data processed by the University… https://t.co/hTW9IAPaAgtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
