💢As of early 2025, the US is facing concerns over several emerging viruses. Notably, Norovirus cases have risen to 91 by late December 2024, up from 69 in November. Additionally, a new strain of COVID-19, named XEC, is spreading and may become dominant soon, although vaccines remain effective against severe illness. Furthermore, the H5N1 avian influenza virus has raised alarms due to increased human infections linked to contact with infected animals, with 61 cases reported this year. Finally, Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) is also on the rise, particularly among children
Between 2007 and 2012, scientists carried out extensive ice drilling in Greenland, aiming to uncover Earth's climate history from the last 125,000 years.
Their findings put today's climate alarmism into perspective.
"Back then, Greenland was around 8°C warmer than today. Sea levels were 4-8m higher."
"Yet the planet didn't collapse and Greenland didn't melt. There were no tipping points and no mass extinctions."
"The planet was far warmer and life flourished."

Roughly 21 million barrels per day of oil and petroleum products normally transit the Strait of Hormuz . That volume accounts for one fifth of global petroleum liquids consumption and one quarter of all seaborne traded oil.
Yet the destinations of those flows expose the asymmetry that ultimately doomed the strategy.
In the first half of 2025 ~89% percent of crude oil and condensate flowed eastward to Asian markets.
China absorbed 37.7 percent of the total followed by India at 14.7 percent South Korea at 12 percent Japan at 10.9 percent and other Asian buyers at 13.9 percent.
Europe received just 3.8 percent and the United States only 2.5 percent. The IRGC was never holding the West hostage. It holds the East.
By throttling traffic during the conflict the regime exercised its only economic "card". Ship transits collapsed to under ten percent of normal levels even after the ceasefire. Insurance rates soared and oil prices spiked.
The move they thought would delivered short term tactical breathing room and ...
