In an October episode of his podcast, Rogan interviewed two octogenarian fringe climate contrarians, Richard Lindzen and William Happer, who together have been spreading climate misinformation since at least 2012. For over two hours, the trio discussed climate myths and conspiracy theories, many of them identical to the misinformation Lindzen and Happer were peddling well over a decade ago. As Yale Climate Connections reported earlier this year, about one in five U.S. adults and 37% of adults under 30 say they regularly get news from social media influencers -- which means they're likely consuming a lot of myths about climate change.

While international air travel to the US from Europe, South America, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean is significantly down because of Dummkopf Trumpf's idiotic foreign and domestic policies, travel bans, irrational Islamophobia in America, rising aviation prices, and ICE brutality against foreigners and migrants, air travel from the Middle East to the US has not declined.

Pope Leo has denounced the "culture of power" driving the rapid rise of artificial intelligence while warning that the technology must be subject to the "most rigorous" ethical constraints as it infiltrates everything from work to war. In his encyclical -- the first major text on safeguarding humankind of his papacy " Leo, the first US-born pontiff, also apologized for the Catholic church's long delay in condemning slavery, describing it as "a wound in Christian memory," while warning about the "new forms of slavery" due to the digital economy.

All Democrats in the United States of America should be gladdened by the news that competent and effective NYC Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) is making new moves toward a possible White House bid in 2028.

Authorities braced for the possibility that a damaged chemical tank in Southern California could leak or explode as an evacuation order continued into the Memorial Day weekend for 50,000 residents with no timeline on when they can return. Firefighters have been spraying the outside of the tank with water hoses in an effort to cool the chemicals heating up inside and prevent an explosion. Lee Zeldin, head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, said Sunday the "most likely scenario" is a "low-volume release," where officials will be able to "monitor, neutralize, and contain the threat." "The Orange County Fire Authority is working to keep the temperature of the tank down. That is very important," he said on CNN.
US consumer sentiment fell to a record low in May, underscoring that higher pump prices and rising costs from the US-Iran war continued to weigh on Americans' views of the economy. The University of Michigan's Index of Consumer Sentiment showed consumer sentiment declined to 44.8 for the month of May, marking the lowest level on record. Sentiment fell further from April's final reading of 49.8 and was "just below the previous historical trough seen in June 2022," Joanne Hsu, the survey's director, said in the release. Americans are feeling worse about the economy now than they were during the COVID-19 pandemic, the financial crisis, and following the 9/11 attacks.
Donald Trump's Department of Justice has erased hundreds of press releases from its website that detailed the charges against January 6 Capitol rioters " information the DOJ deemed "partisan propaganda."
"We are proud to reverse the DOJ's weaponization under the Biden administration. We will do everything in our power to make whole those who were persecuted for political purposes. This includes stripping DOJ's website of partisan propaganda," the DOJ Rapid Response X account declared Friday.
The move came just days after the DOJ announced it was creating a $1.8 billion taxpayer-backed "Anti-Weaponization Fund" to pay restitution to anyone who felt they were wronged by the federal government. Critics, including congressional Republicans, have called it a "slush fund" for Trump allies, including the rioters that he pardoned.
Rioter Brandon Fellows told CNN this week that he was requesting $30 million from the fund for "wrongful imprisonment."
Two decades ago, Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth thrust climate change into the global spotlight. With dramatic imagery and dire warnings, it transformed a niche concern into a front-page crisis, influencing rich country leaders and elite jet-setters, and inspiring a generation of activists. Twenty years affords distance to reflect not just on the film's impact but also its accuracy. Many of Gore's most alarming predictions have failed to materialize, while the policy response it helped inspire has proven extraordinarily flawed.
