Former NYT Reporter Alex Berenson: "A lead investigator on the Danish mask study - the ONLY (as far as I know) randomized trial to see if masks protect from #COVID - was asked when it would be published. 

His answer: 'as soon as a journal is brave enough.'

If you think that means the study shows masks work..."

CDC October 14, 2020: "At No Time Has CDC Guidance Suggested that Masks Were Intended to Protect the Wearers."

Huh? CDC Director Robert Redfield MD - September 14, 2020: "I might even go so far as to say that this face mask is more guaranteed to protect me against COVID than when I take a COVID vaccine, because it may be 70%. And if I don't get an immune response, the vaccine is not going to protect me," Redfield said. "This face mask will."

Claim: "Climate denial groups are exploiting Facebook in the months before the election to reach new audiences by microtargeting older white men more susceptible to climate disinformation. For as little as $300 the groups can reach more than 1 million."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), pledged to take action against the company if it does not do more to stop the reach of climate falsehoods. Warren said the company must be held accountable for its role in the climate crisis and that the report "reveals how Facebook lets climate deniers spread dangerous junk to millions of people." "We have repeatedly asked Facebook to close the loopholes that allow misinformation to run rampant on its platform, but its leadership would rather make a quick buck while our planet burns, sea levels rise, and communities — disproportionately Black and Brown — suffer," she said in a statement.

"Facebook allows these ads to go out under the radar and to have potentially devastating effects within the target population before anyone who knows what they're talking about [and] has any chance to respond and point out that what's being spread is a pack of lies," Whitehouse said.

Joel Kotkin: This is a state that issues mandates for electrification of everything while reducing its generating capacity. It blames devastating fires on climate change, without taking the blame for forestry practices that helped make the seasonal fires much worse. In California, pot is legal, but owning a car with a gas engine, however clean, may soon not be, and climate skeptics of any stripe face opprobrium, consignment to obscurity, and—if they have assets—court dates. ...

In both Germany and California, green policies have hurt the working class far more than the affluent, who, argues British socialist James Heartfield, actually benefit from scarcity. Family-oriented people may also object to Ecotopia-like calls for restrictions on having children due to their “carbon legacy,” a proposal already endorsed by climate researchers at Sweden’s Lund University and Oregon State University. Some scientists suggest that we will have to shift from hamburgers to such delightful concoctions as “maggot sausages.” One scientist even suggested that we recycle ourselves and rediscover the finer points of cannibalism.

The Coming Autocracy

It’s unlikely that voters will long embrace such ideas. But many greens, concerned that the masses may not follow orders, prefer the post-democratic method of handing over power to credentialed environmental “experts” operating in Washington, Brussels, or the United Nations, a notion already advanced by former Obama budget advisor Peter Orszag and journalist Thomas Friedman.

Matt Briggs: "Then came the hate calls. I have permission for you to delight in this mad woman’s ravings." (Listen at bottom of this page:)

Listen to hate voice mails left on Dr. Legates phone:

Selected Excerpts: "You have not heard the last of me. Don't you dare have anything to do with NOAA. Somebody who doesn't believe in climate change?!

"Lose some weight, you're fat. Worse than that, you are stupid!" 

"You are an evil disgusting man and you will hear more from me. Shame on you and lose some weight!

"Trump is a murderer!" ... "You are a murderer."

She then begins to sob. Then adds climate change is "killing people because you don't care, because you are an evil fat man! Don't you dare go head up NOAA!"

Media Matters: ‘Tucker Carlson invited Marc Morano — perhaps the most notorious climate denier in the U.S’

Tucker Carlon: "Marc Morano is with Climate Depot and he’s the producer of the upcoming film Climate Hustle 2 — I’m going to watch that."

Paul Driessen: "Cancel Culture is actively suppressing any climate skeptic views. Twitter actively banned Climate Hustle 2 and froze CFACT’s Twitter account. On appeal the account was unfrozen, but the ban adversely affected thousands of CFACT Twitter followers. Amazon Prime Video has removed Climate Hustle 1 from its website. CFACT tried to appeal, but Amazon didn’t respond."
