How to deny climate change using the IPCC report
The new Secretary of Energy, Chris Wright, claims that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says there has been no increase in the frequency or intensity of hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or droughts – but Wright is wrong.Jeff Masters (Yale Climate Connections)
Yemen nearly hit an American F-35 fighter with a surface-to-air missile during Operation Rough Rider. The incident raised panic in Washington regarding the vulnerability of "advanced" US fighters to modern air defense system.
The near miss between the US F-35 by the Ansar Allah SAM raises questions about the effectiveness of US air operations against more sophisticated adversaries.

Oooof. Those direct air capture machines built by Climeworks in Iceland, to pull carbon dioxide out of the air? Turns out ... they have generated more CO2 than they have captured.

Climeworks’ capture fails to cover its own emissions
The carbon capture company Climeworks only captures a fraction of the CO2 it promises its machines can capture. The company is failing to carbon offset the emissions resulting from its operations – which have grown rapidly in recent years.Heimildin

Building experimental capture plant may be a worthwhile investment for the long term future, but pretending that it’s a sensible solution right now is close to fraudulent.

Following up the article on “Australian scientists” who have discovered we like remote work, apparently written up by a named journalist at The Farmingdale Observer. Farmingdale is a place, it’s had a local newspaper since 1963 noted by the Library of Congress.
This is the actual Farmingdale Observer.

The Farmingdale Observer from yesterday is a different beast. It’s a news aggregating website. This regurgitated article seems to have started life on The Conversation, the journalist doesn’t seem to exist anywhere online, the actual research was distorted, but traffic flowed trustingly from here to the website. Winning!
It’s clever but also dumb content farming and this is how we learn to fall for things, over and over, harmlessly and near-enoughish, until it’s not.
Farmingdale Observer 1/26/22 edition is published weekly by Anton Media Group.

To be clear, there was an Australian study. There were Australian social scientists. Their own research study was on an adjacent topic (exercise and nutrition), and the article they wrote cited research from around the world on remote work generally. It was published in March last year.
