All due respect to John Clauser...he is absolutely wrong. the most egregious and incorrect part of his statement: "Clouds are all bright white, and they reflected 90% of the sunlight back into space making them the most crucial yet most overlooked aspect of the climate system." Sunlight is ~53% NIR/SWIR and ~42% visible light (ignoring UV). Water vapor, clouds, the ocean and land surfaces strongly absorb NIR/SWIR, heating the earth every day. Visible light absorption is controlled by albedo. Yes, clouds are white (ask Grok why clouds are white). Clouds do not reflect 90% of visible light...if they did you would be stumbling around in the dark on a completely overcast day. Don't take my word for it, look around. Water whether liquid or vapor is transparent to visible light. Yes, clouds affect earth's temperature, when present, in a variety of ways, but many regions have ~30% cloudy days, with highly variable cloud cover. I call that a part time thermostat. What controls day/night temperature on clear days? I'll tell you...Stored subsurface heat! The daily high temperature is determined by surface temperature (~1 cm), as a function of solar irradiance, which of course varies by season. The daily low temperature is determined by stored subsurface temperature (below ~1 cm), which of course varies by season. Stored subsurface heat is what maintains earth's livable temperature, not the atmosphere! The greenhouse effect is pseudoscience. The heat we feel at 2m above surface is continuously emitted from earth's surface 24/7. That's why temperature in the tropics is much higher than northern Canada and is a function of solar irradiance absorbed by earth's surface. Stop looking for one big control knob...earth's climate system is many natural earth forces working together to create weather/climate.

This is INSANE: Trump’s DOJ says the government is now “FOREVER BARRED” from pursuing tax claims against Trump or his family as part of the “settlement.” The one-page document, signed by Deputy AG Todd Blanche, also blocks claims tied to pending tax returns. The most corrupt president in American history by far.

We are deciding right now whether we want to be a country with ethnic cleansing and concentration camps.

No! This is impossible! The President of the United States very clearly told the American people that Jeffrey Epstein was permanently banned from Mar-a-Lago in the mid-2000s! The only way he could be casually discussing going there in 2012 is if that whole "ban" was a lie!

RT @EoinHiggins_: Doesn’t get much clearer than this

It's starting ! The Vice-President of Germany's Football Association calls for a debate about boycotting this year's World Cup because of Trump

Reminder that Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest like this and Republicans called him a hero

The federal government is gunning people down in the streets, lying about what happened and then preventing any independent investigation of the killings

JEFFERY EPSTEIN HAD A WHOLE DRAWER OF DONALD TRUMP PICTURES. That's the tweet.

Make it easy to ride bikes around town and people will ride bikes around town. Here's a glimpse of bike traffic in Paris:

🚨BREAKING: In a STUNNING display of CORRUPTION, Donald Trump Jr.’s company received $600,000,000 dollars from Donald Trump Sr.

I asked ChatGPT how the above countries that welcomed immigrants are doing today… Turns out they didn’t collapse—they got richer!

One of whom presented a Russian capitulation document as a US peace plan. That’s the headline. We need headlines that are true and not news jargon that washes out the basic facts.
