Why we should abandon the concept of the ‘climate refugee’: When climate change is used to explain migration, social inequality is naturalised.

Why there’s really no such thing as a ‘climate refugee’: When we use the impacts of climate change to explain migration, we only tell half the story, and obscure how power, race, and social inequalities are at play.

The Rockefeller Foundation Recruits Scientists to Psychoanalyze those who Reject Covid Genic Sera for Growing the Vaccination Worldwide: The Rockefeller Foundation has disclosed that it (along with other non-profits) has been pouring millions of dollars into a behavioural science project meant to understand why large groups of people around the world refuse to take the jab. This is yet another indication that the covid vaccination agenda of globalist institutions did not do quite as well as they had originally hoped.

Wall Street Is Using Your Money to Buy Virtue; Don’t Let Them: Wall Street elites have been pushing the adoption of corporate metrics, referred to as environmental, social and governance (ESG), to assess how much good or bad a company is bringing to society. Interestingly, only the far-left socialist causes qualify as “good.”

Nearly $30K Vanished From the HOA’s Account. The State Can’t Investigate the Management Company. Community association managers run most of Colorado’s 10,000 homeowners associations, but state regulators no longer have the authority to look into complaints about unexplained price hikes, shadowy elections or fraud. Homeowners pay the price.

Climate Costs Are Not ‘Inflation’: Climate disruption will raise prices to consumers. The Fed, seconded by orthodox economists, misunderstands what’s happening, needlessly adding to economic pain. Economists need to fundamentally change the way they comprehend inflation. The reason is climate change. Many items in the household budget, like food, that have been relatively cheap, will become more expensive.

Why Talk about Loans? On island USA, we are debating whether it is unfair and unjust to forgive some college loans. We are oblivious to the rest of the planet, where college education in developed countries is of course free. We have long considered our colleges and universities citadels of freedom, where the rule of reason prevails. Now both the process of freedom and the rule of reason are under attack. At the same time, our colleges are under pressure to collapse their educational standards, in the misguided belief that this would promote “opportunity.”

First Solar says it will spend up to $1.2 billion to expand U.S. production: The solar panel maker will build a factory in the Southeast and expand three Ohio plants, creating nearly 1,000 jobs. Money is a sticking point in climate-change negotiations around the world. As economists warn that limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will cost many more trillions than anticipated, WSJ looks at how the funds could be spent, and who would pay.

A Tax Credit Was Meant to Help Marginalized Workers Get Permanent Jobs. Instead, it’s Subsidizing Temp Work. The government gives hundreds of millions of dollars in Work Opportunity Tax Credits to temp agencies, even if the jobs they offer don’t lead to permanent employment. Many top recipients of the credit have long records of labor violations.

The fight to save the last tree standing: There are trees so rare that only a single specimen remains. Scientists protect their seeds like rare jewels, use ladders and brushes to gingerly collect pollen for hand fertilization, and wait years for a single precious flower. But there are more threatened tree species than there are restoration projects. And climate change is altering ecosystems so fundamentally that some trees will never be able to thrive in their natural homes again.

Alabama Hides the Horrors of Its Executions by Classifying Them as Homicides: The recent state-sanctioned murder of Joe James may be the longest execution in U.S. history, but it’s not an outlier.

Breakthrough results in developing an oral insulin tablet: A team of University of British Columbia researchers working on developing oral insulin tablets as a replacement for daily insulin injections have made a game-changing discovery. Researchers have discovered that insulin from the latest version of their oral tablets is absorbed in the same way that injected insulin is.

Study reveals fentanyl’s effects on the brain: Fentanyl is used to supplement sedation and to relieve severe pain during and after surgery, but it’s also one of the deadliest drugs of the opioid epidemic. In research revealed fentanyl’s effects over time and indicated that the drug stops people’s breathing before other noticeable changes and before they lose consciousness. Fentanyl produces a specific EEG signature, which could allow clinicians to monitor its effects to enable safer, more personalized administration during and after surgery
