Oh yes, just like a television soap but with more sex and killings, plus some other naughty goings on. What's not to like for bedtime reading.

Not reading the linked paper in the article would be my guess.

"Overall, the steady-state assumption will overestimate ice loss on ice shelves that are advancing and underestimate ice loss on ice shelves that are retreating. The assumption also does not hold well for any irregular behaviour, such as ice shelves that have lost ice through large calving events. Our observations show that Antarctic ice shelves gained 660.6 Gt of ice mass from 2009 to 2019, whereas the steady-state approach would estimate ice loss of −20 028.1 Gt over the same period (Table 1)."

That paragraph highlights the difference between a subset of observations and an erstwhile "rule of thumb" which no longer holds true and which the linked paper does not apply.

So this well known cc denier website is telling you lies while pointing at the truth. I guess they assume people who want to believe the entire scientific community is a conspiracy will not bother to read what science is actually saying.

For example:

Science: If you drink sulphuric acid, you will get a sore throat. It would also kill you.

CC denier Headline: Idiot scientist drinks sulphuric acid and dies.

Bare links again? :roll:

To links with barely literate articles with random bold text again :roll:

You do know that out there on the internet you'll always find article of dubious provenance to support whatever whackjob views you happen to have don't you?

A man wants to trademark ‘Trump too small’ for T-shirts. Now the Supreme Court will hear the case.


The latest case is unusual in that it has the Biden administration on Trump’s side. The administration is defending government officials’ decision to reject the trademark request from Steve Elster, who tried to register the “Trump too small” phrase.

Rubio began the verbal jousting when he told supporters at a rally that Trump was always calling him “little Marco” but that Trump — who says he is 6-feet-3-inches tall — has disproportionately small hands. “Have you seen his hands? ... And you know what they say about men with small hands,” Rubio said. “You can’t trust them.”

Trump then brought up the comment at a televised debate on March 3, 2016.

“Look at those hands. Are they small hands? And he referred to my hands — if they’re small, something else must be small. I guarantee you there’s no problem. I guarantee you,” he said.

Researchers found that a surge in rates of STEMI heart attacks occurred at the start of the working week, with the highest rates found on Mondays. The rates of STEMI heart attacks were also higher than expected on Sundays.

Why are heart attacks more prominent on Monday?
The phenomenon, known as “blue Monday,” has scientists stumped. Previous studies have suggested that heart attacks may be more likely to take place on a Monday due to the body’s circadian rhythm, or natural sleep-wake cycle.

“We’ve found a strong statistical correlation between the start of the working week and the incidence of STEMI,” cardiologist Dr. Jack Laffan, who led the research at the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust, said in a press release about the study. “This has been described before but remains a curiosity. The cause is likely multifactorial. However, based on what we know from previous studies, it is reasonable to presume a circadian element.”

Two things today:

1) Biden administration had advanced knowledge of Ukraine's plan to blow up the pipeline months before it happened... & then gaslighted everyone by blaming Russia for blowing up their own pipeline.

2) a, Head of the FBI could be headed to jail. He denied there was a paper trail linking Biden to a bribery scheme while testifying under oath before a Congressional committee investigating Bidden corruption.
b, Admitted the paper trail exists, but has so far refused to hand the document to Congress.
c, Now being looked at for Contempt of Congress charges.

What springs to mind immediately is hung-over people forcing themselves to work after a mis-spent weekend.

Then they say it’s worse in the week after Christmas, too.

“Circadian” sounds clever though.

“Most heart attacks hit during the early morning hours from 4 – 10 am when blood platelets are stickier, and there is increased adrenaline released from released from the adrenal glands that can trigger rupture of plaques in coronary arteries,”
