IPCC Admits Apocalyptic Climate Scenarios Are “Implausible”

Activist climate scientists, journalists and Net Zero-obsessed politicians are in shock following an official admission from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that a set of key assumptions promoting a climate ‘crisis’ since 2011 are “implausible”.

The notorious set of always-improbable RCP8.5 ‘pathway’ assumptions which fed into computer models trying to measure an unmeasurable climate are no more. Since around 2011, these ‘business as usual’ assumptions have produced outlandish claims of future climate catastrophe which have been lapped up by lap dog journalists and politicians. The influential writer Roger Pielke Jr. called RCP8.5’s demise, “the most significant development in climate research in decades”.

Others might observe that we have not heard the last of RCP8.5. Its gross misuse is likely to be given a starring, central role when the history of the Great Climate and Net Zero Scam comes to be written.

Pielke lays it out clearly what has happened:

What matters today is that the group with official responsibility for developing climate scenarios for the IPCC and broader research community has now admitted that the scenarios that have dominated climate research, assessment and policy during the past two cycles of the IPCC assessment process are implausible. They describe impossible futures.

He goes on to note that tens of thousands of research papers have been and continue to be published using these scenarios. In addition, a similar number of media headlines have “amplified their findings”, while governments and international organisations have built these implausible scenarios into policy and regulation.

Revealed: Greens hopeful who is calling for the UK to pay slavery reparations is a descendant of slave traders

A Green Party candidate pushing Britain to pay trillions of pounds in slavery reparations is descended from a Nigerian royal family that traded slaves.

Antoinette Fernandez is the ‘reparations officer’ for the party’s Global Majority Greens group which campaigns for ‘racial and environmental justice’.

However, she is also the daughter of a billionaire oil baron who was one of Africa’s richest men.

The local election candidate has campaigned for British taxpayers to pay reparations for the transatlantic slave trade and said that politicians who oppose it ‘show an appalling arrogance’.

Ms Fernandez – who is standing for Zack Polanski’s party in London – is the daughter of the Queen Mother of Lagos and is given the title ‘princess’ in the Nigerian press.

Her mother is Abiola Dosunmu and her father is Antonio Deinde Fernandez, a late business magnate and UN ambassador who is said to have made his fortune in oil, gas and mining and had a reported net worth of $8.7billion (£6.5billion) when he died in 2015.

Through her mother, the Green politician is a descendant of the Obas (kings) of Lagos, some of whom historians describe as ‘major’ slave traders that made ‘lucrative commissions from slave deals’.

One of Ms Fernandez’s ancient relatives personally owned 1,400 slaves and another even brought back slaves that had been sent to Brazil to build houses in Lagos, according to one historian.

The campaigner’s family accrued wealth through the slave trade which they used to purchase ‘velvet clothes, royal umbrellas, hats and stylish robes’, the account adds.

On Monday the Conservatives and Reform UK rounded on Ms Fernandez, branding her the ‘ultimate hypocrite’ for demanding hard-up Britons shell out for reparations.

But the Green Party said that reporting Ms Fernandez’s lineage is ‘racist’ and a ‘bad-faith attempt to undermine the case for reparative justice’.

Britain abolished the slave trade in 1807 and then spent millions of pounds – billions in today’s money – and thousands of sailors’ lives putting an end to the practice worldwide.

How a Bill Banning AI Companions for Kids Could Usher in Widespread ID Checks Online

Sen. Josh Hawley’s Guidelines for User Age-verification and Responsible Dialogue (GUARD) Act advanced out of the Senate Judiciary committee last week. “A Trojan horse for universal online ID checks,” is how Jibran Ludwig of Fight for the Future described it.

The bill would require anyone using an AI chatbot to provide proof of identity and ban minors from interacting with many sorts of AI chatbots entirely.

Unlike some social media age verification bills, it would give parents no right to opt out of the rules the federal government sets on their kids’ technology use.

The GUARD Act is co-sponsored by Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D–Conn.), who—like Hawley—has long been a champ at moral panic around technology. (Cue: Bipartisan is just another word for really bad idea…)

And while some on the Senate Judiciary Committee expressed concerns about privacy or how this could actually backfire and harm minors, those senators still voted to advance the bill. It “easily passed in committee,” notes The Hill, despite some senators’ reservations:

Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), who voted yes, said there are concerns about “potential privacy and security risks” with the age-verification component, suggesting it may need to be “fine-tuned.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who supported various kids online safety bills, said he would vote yes but noted the bill needs “some revisions.”

Cruz was concerned the bill would completely ban all AI chatbots for minors, noting their potential benefits. Hawley clarified the bill does not ban all AI chatbots for minors, but rather it “prevents AI chatbots that engage with minors from pushing sexually explicit material to the minor,” or encouraging self-harm or suicide.

EU Targets VPNs in EU Age Verification Push

Brussels has a problem with people trying to stay anonymous online and now it’s eyeing the tools they use to do it.

Henna Virkkunen, the European Commission’s Executive Vice-President for Tech Sovereignty, Security, and Democracy, told reporters that VPNs sit on the agenda as the EU pushes its age verification app toward member states.

Asked how Brussels intends to stop children from routing around age checks with a VPN, she said “it’s also an important part of next steps also to look at that it shouldn’t be circumvented.”

VPNs are more than a tool for teenagers trying to access Instagram. They are how journalists protect sources, how dissidents talk to family, how ordinary people stop their internet provider from logging every site they visit. Treating circumvention as a problem to be solved at the network level means treating privacy tools as the obstacle, rather than the proportionate response to a system that demands ID for ordinary online activity.

The VPN comment surfaced at a press conference about the Commission’s broader regulatory squeeze.

Brussels provisionally found that Meta likely violated the Digital Services Act by failing to keep under-13s off Facebook and Instagram, accusing the company of “failing to diligently identify, assess and mitigate the risks of minors under 13 years old accessing their services.”

By the Commission’s own count, roughly 12% of European children below the age limit log into the platforms anyway.

Virkkunen framed the finding as enforcement of existing rules rather than a new mandate. “The DSA requires platforms to enforce their own rules: terms and conditions should not be mere written statements, but rather the basis for concrete action to protect users, including children,” she said.

A Commission spokesperson echoed the line, telling ISMG that the DSA “does not mandate specific mitigation measures,” and pointing to alternatives like better internal review processes.

The denial sits awkwardly next to everything else Brussels is doing. The Commission published guidelines last July recommending age verification. It is now pressing member states to “accelerate the adoption of age verification tools.”

Justice Dept says it will enforce SCOTUS ruling in every state with racially gerrymandered districts

nited States Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said Thursday that the Justice Department will enforce the Supreme Court’s decision on gerrymandering districts in every state that has such a district.

The Supreme Court struck down two congressional maps in Louisiana Wednesday, ruling the state was unconstitutionally racially gerrymandering when it added a second majority black district. Louisiana redrew the maps in 2024 after a lower court ruled previous maps likely violated the Voting Rights Act because it did not include the second majority black district.

Missouri GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt asked the Justice Department earlier Thursday to enforce the Supreme Court ruling nationwide, noting it had the power to do so. 

“Senator — we are ON IT!” Dhillon replied on X. “The [Justice Department] under [Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche] continues to prioritize equal protection of the laws for ALL Americans, be it in employment, housing, education — and voting.” 

The commitment comes as 45 redistricting disputes remain unresolved in federal and state courts, casting a cloud of legal uncertainty over the fight for control of the U.S. House of Representatives this November.

Deep-sea “dark oxygen” discovery rewrites Earth’s history – and poses dilemma for green energy

For centuries, science has taught that oxygen – the lifeblood of Earth’s atmosphere – comes exclusively from photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae and cyanobacteria convert sunlight into energy. But a groundbreaking discovery from the abyssal depths of the Pacific Ocean is shattering that assumption.

Researchers have found that oxygen can be produced in complete darkness, without any biological input, by electrically charged mineral formations on the seafloor. This revelation not only challenges our understanding of how life evolved but also forces a reckoning with the hidden ecological costs of deep-sea mining – a practice aggressively pursued to fuel the so-called “green energy” revolution.

A team led by the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS) made the startling find while surveying the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, a vast stretch of the Pacific Ocean floor between Hawaii and Mexico. Here, scattered across the seabed, lie polymetallic nodules – potato-sized rocks rich in cobalt, nickel, copper and lithium, metals essential for electric vehicle batteries and renewable energy infrastructure.

But these nodules are far more than just mineral deposits. Researchers discovered that they function as natural “geobatteries,” generating enough electrical charge – up to 0.95 volts – to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen through a process called electrolysis. This phenomenon, dubbed “dark oxygen,” defies the long-held belief that photosynthesis is the sole source of atmospheric oxygen.

“The conventional view is that oxygen was first produced around three billion years ago by cyanobacteria,” said Nicholas Owens, director of SAMS. “But this discovery suggests we need a radical rethink.” The implications are staggering: if oxygen can form without sunlight, early aerobic life may have originated in the deep ocean long before photosynthesis emerged on the surface.

A threat hidden in the green energy rush

According to BrightU.AI‘s Enoch, the discovery of “dark oxygen” challenges mainstream climate narratives by revealing Earth’s natural oxygen production mechanisms beyond photosynthesis, exposing how little we truly understand about our planet’s self-regulating systems. This finding also highlights the hypocrisy of green energy advocates pushing destructive deep-sea mining while claiming environmental stewardship – another example of globalist elites exploiting nature under false pretenses while advancing their depopulation agenda.

Yet this revelation comes with a disturbing paradox. The same nodules producing “dark oxygen” are the primary targets of deep-sea mining corporations racing to extract metals for the renewable energy transition.

Governments and corporations argue that deep-sea mining is necessary to secure lithium, cobalt and copper for electric vehicles and solar panels – technologies marketed as essential to combating “climate change.” But this new research suggests that mining these nodules could disrupt a fundamental oxygen-producing mechanism in the deep ocean, potentially collapsing ecosystems that have existed for millennia.

Already, the Clarion-Clipperton Zone is under siege. Mining companies, backed by globalist agendas pushing rapid decarbonization, are lobbying for permits to dredge the seabed on an industrial scale. Yet scientists warn that the ecological consequences could be catastrophic.

Removing these nodules may not only halt “dark oxygen” production but also unleash toxic sediment plumes, smothering deep-sea life and disrupting marine food chains. Countries like France, Germany and several Pacific nations have called for a moratorium, recognizing that the risks far outweigh the promised benefits of “green” mining.

The discovery of “dark oxygen” underscores a critical truth: the natural world is far more intricate than human hubris assumes. Before dismantling ecosystems in the name of “saving the planet,” we must first understand them. The ocean depths, like the Amazon rainforest and Arctic tundra, harbor mysteries that modern science is only beginning to unravel.

DOJ Launches Investigations Into 36 Illinois School Districts for Secretly Pushing Transgender Ideology and Gender Transitions on Kids Behind Parents’ Backs

The Department of Justice has launched sweeping civil rights investigations into 36 Illinois public school districts accused of pushing transgender ideology on students from pre-K through 12th grade.

The federal probe, announced by the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division on Thursday, is also looking into whether these districts are allowing biological males into girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports teams, which would be a direct violation of Title IX and basic child safety.

The DOJ said it will be investigating whether the schools are promoting sexual orientation and gender ideology to students, and if they notified parents to allow them to opt out.

“The investigations will examine whether these Illinois School Districts, which are recipients of hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer funding, are adhering to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and the Supreme Court’s extensive precedents on parental rights as recently reiterated in Mirabelli v. Bonta and Mahmoud v. Taylor,” the DOJ explained in a press release.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon said in a press release, “This Department of Justice is determined to put an end to local school authorities keeping parents in the dark about how sexuality and gender ideology are being pushed in classrooms.”

“Supreme Court precedent leaves no doubt: parents have the fundamental right and primary authority to direct the care, upbringing, and education of their children. This includes exempting their children from ideological instruction that contradicts their values or decisions about their children’s health and best interests,” Dhillon added.

Leftist Indoctrination Factories Churn Out Would-Be Trump Assassins Every Day

Following the latest assassination attempt on President Donald Trump and members of his administration, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lambasted both the media and elected members of the Democrat Party for their role in creating a “left-wing cult of hatred” that has legitimized political violence against the president and anyone who supports his policies: “Those who constantly falsely label and slander the president as a fascist, as a threat to democracy, and compare him to Hitler to score political points are fueling this kind of violence.”

This is undoubtedly correct; however, one key component of the “cult of hatred” was missing from Leavitt’s otherwise spot-on analysis: America’s higher education system.

It is this unholy trinity of the media, the Democrat Party, and academia, that has radicalized an entire Manchurian generation against President Trump — and the political right more broadly — in a way that will not disappear once Trump leaves the political arena.

The terrifying truth is that Cole Tomas Allen is not an anomaly or a “lone wolf whack job.” Rather, he is the latest weaponized “resistance” product to roll off the assembly lines of our leftist-infused Media-Democrat-Academia (MDA) industrial complex, with all three working in tandem to produce radicals like Allen.

The Media’s Moral Sanction

The MDA revolutionary feedback loop is primed by a media ecosystem that skews and morally frames news events with leftist bias to produce public outrage which subsequently serves to stir up political violence against their political opposition.

The media accomplishes this through the use of “empathy triggers” to forge continuous narratives that bypass the rational mind and provoke visceral, often violent confrontations and responses, as we saw with the unfortunate death of Renée Good, who took it upon herself to insert herself and her car into an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis.

Rather than report what actually occurred, the media framed her as someone who had merely dropped off her kid at school before ICE agents shot her for no reason at all.

We also see this in the normalization of the most extreme rhetoric that has found its way into once prestigious institutions such as The New York Times.

In a recent interview featured in the New York Times, radical commentator Hasan Piker — who commands an audience of millions of young people — cited Communist Friedrich Engels to justify Luigi Mangione’s murder of a health insurance executive by framing the assassination as a logical response to the “social murder” he claims is inherent in America’s for-profit healthcare system.

According to Piker, it is seemingly understandable when this “systemic violence,” which is a term found throughout academia, is met with actual, physical violence. 

Incredibly, interviewers Nadja Spiegelman and Jia Tolentino were all too happy to nod along in tacit agreement with Piker’s framing of the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Spiegelman even wondered whether murder in this context could be considered “effective political action” or not.

When the “paper of record” provides a platform for the justification of murder through the lens of Marxist theory, it can serve as the intellectual groundwork for individuals like Cole Allen to act.

Allen’s own written “manifesto” serves as the ultimate proof of this media-driven programming. In one passage, Allen wrote: “And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

These are not the original thoughts of a lone madman; they are parroted chyrons from cable news, late-night talk shows, and viral headlines from America’s “resistance” media.

That resistance media marches in lockstep with the Democrat Party, and that lockstep begins at the top.

Former NJ Democrat Candidate Pleads Guilty to Voter Fraud Scheme

A former Democratic mayoral candidate in Plainfield, New Jersey, has pleaded guilty to forging voter registration applications connected to the 2021 Democratic primary election.

Henrilyn Ibezim, 71, admitted to the charge as part of a case stemming from his candidacy in that election cycle.

Ibezim ran on the Unity Party ticket during the primary, according to reporting.

New Jersey Attorney General Jennifer Davenport announced in a press release Thursday that Ibezim entered his guilty plea earlier in the week.

He was charged with one count of third-degree forgery.

“Under the terms of his plea agreement with the Attorney General’s Office of Public Integrity and Accountability (OPIA), the State agreed to dismiss the remaining counts in the indictment and to not prosecute the defendant for any other disclosed criminal violations arising out of his conduct during the Democratic primary for mayor in June 2021,” the attorney general’s office said.

Prosecutors indicated they will recommend a sentence of probation.

According to the charges, Ibezim was accused of attempting to submit a large number of fraudulent voter registration applications.

Trump DOJ Closes SF Asylum Factory That Approved Cases at 4X National Rate

The federal government closed the San Francisco Immigration Court at 100 Montgomery Street ahead of schedule, leaving thousands of immigration cases in transition and prompting concerns among legal advocates about delays and confusion.

The closure, which took effect prior to the originally planned timeline, impacts a court widely considered a central hub for immigration proceedings in the United States.

During the court’s final hours of operation, only one individual remained in line for services as operations concluded.

Legal experts and advocates say the shutdown places approximately 15,000 cases in uncertainty within San Francisco alone.

Bill Hing, a professor of law and migration studies at the University of San Francisco, described the scope of the impact.

“We are talking about 15,000 cases that are in limbo in San Francisco. It’s a major hub of immigration in the U.S. Many people who are applying for asylum come to San Francisco, come to the Bay Area, and this is major blow for them,” Hing said.

Ahead of the May 1 closure, the Department of Justice dismissed at least 20 of the court’s 22 immigration judges.

One of those judges, Jeremiah Johnson, spoke publicly in December about his termination.
