Information Revolution
"The great purveyors of Truth will not be found in the newspapers or academic hierarchy, but among those who devote their time to the betterment of the nation by constant investigation and the process of elimination, until all that is left is the bare reality." D Cohen The modern means of revolution only needs to be through knowledge. Repeating the same basic truths is like hammering in a nail until the information becomes set. When enough people do the revolution is here.

The 2024 Spanish floods
The media and politicians, as usual, jumped on the November 2024 floods in Southern Spain as some sort of freak events, while it took me a few minutes to find they were totally normal, proving both the media provably tell lies and the people blindly accept them. Firstly here are the historic figures for Spanish floods.
And European floods.
Tell me, how can anyone say with a straight face the current floods are special?
Meanwhile let's look at the general and specific reasons for these floods. The first is the most obvious, greedy human beings build on flood planes. Therefore they guarantee when the nearby river overflows, which they always will, they will be flooded. Just stop doing it. As for any changes, look at the land use. Flood prevention, such as dams and other protection methods, have been reduced by 'green' regulations. EU laws such as considering the environmental impacts of reducing flood damage before creating it. If you protect the fish and plants then the victims will be the people who are flooded by protecting the environment. There are no other places to protect flood planes (which should never have been built on in the first place) except between the sources of the water and the land. So ban one and the consequences will be guaranteed. These rules also deter dredging, meaning the flow of water is greatly speeded up as it has less space to flow more slowly. The EU Water Framework Directive makes these obvious safeguards very hard to carry out, meaning typical floods where such actions have not been carried out will be guaranteed to be worse than they would have done, yet all the authorities do is blame us every time it happens despite the frequency being no different to what it ever was. Also the funnel effect, where roads are built in a river valley, such as Lynmouth in the 1950s Source and Valencia in 2024, means the roads and surrounding buildings force the water along a narrow passage far higher than on an open area, causing water levels of many feet high purely due to creating a channel to direct a flooding river directly through the centre of a town. These consequences are clearly a product of human greed and stupidity rather than anything sinister happening in the climate. If it was illegal to build on flood plains, or impossible to insure houses on them things would soon improve.
It is also WEF policy to remove dams, the main reason the rainfall was not held back and caused so much damage. Dam removal

Figures on the creation of Israel, wars and Gazan casualties
As the internet is currently alight with myths and mysteries about Israel and Gaza I was offered a few typical statements and offered to address them all with reliable and confirmable sources.
The answers to the questions are in italic. More may follow if requested.
That's exactly what happened. Palestine was given to Israel by the uk.
The United Nations General Assembly on 15 May 1947 created the Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) in response to a United Kingdom government request that the General Assembly "make recommendations under article 10 of the Charter, concerning the future government of Palestine"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_and_the_United_Nations
However, by the time of the UN vote Britain had gone cold on the idea, led by the anti-Israel Foreign Office, while the British troops in Palestine did all they could stop a Jewish state and hand control of the whole area to the Arabs. https://www.palestinehome.org/history-of-palestine-annotated-1/history-1949-israels-empty-promises-joining-un
https://www.nam.ac.uk/explore/conflict-Palestine
They displaced almost a million people.
250-300,000 Arabs fled in the 1947 civil war, the remainder were ordered to leave by Israel’s Arab neighbours who were going to wipe them out. 700,000 left voluntarily and were given six months to return by Israel. Those who didn’t were kept in refugee camps and not allowed to become citizens of Jordan or the other countries they stayed in. So yes, that is the correct figure but they all left by their own means and not by Israel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Palestinian_expulsion_and_flight
The plo tried to make a two state agreement multiple times that the whole world wanted except Israel and the USA. Now Israel ethnically cleansing Gaza in a land grab
You are very close here, but it was Israel who made five offers and the PLO who turned all of them down. Right formula but wrong names.

The land existed dipshit... doesn't matter if it was a internationally recognized country. Families had been living there for generations only to be killed or pushed out
See the figures on expulsions
I don't know where ur trying to go with this post. If anything the death toll is way more than anything reported.
The 34,000 figure is from Hamas and does not distinguish between terrorists, citizens and children. However currently no international news service is able to confirm these figures.

Climate the Movie - debunked?
Well not surprisingly the great boffins at Skeptical Science (sic) have published their debunking of Martin Durkin's recent film Climate the Movie, which took on the claims of the climate establishment by top scientists and appeared to emasculate them. Their main list (followed by more paragraphs of disapproval) was 25 points which I'll post here and then test each one as a judge would, with absolutely no bias either way.
1) Medieval Warm Period was warmer Until 1999 it was. There was no doubt until then, the consensus was that it was warmer. Then came the hockey stick chart, one of a number offered to the UN IPCC, two similar and one different. This meant they had if nothing else been confused about the proxy records, using ice cores, tree rings, vegetation and other possibly contradictory methods to join together to form a reasonably credible representation of the last 1000 year's temperatures. The official line is it is still controversial and uncertain, which is definitely the case as otherwise more than two official diagrams could not stand for the same period. Some say it has been improved, others, using evidence such as vegetation unearthed around the Arctic Circle showing plants there which needed a far higher temperature to survive, while the southern hemisphere had so few records before the 20th century it had very little to begin with directly. So to be fair to both sides the jury is out on this one.
It makes up around 0.04% of the air. If rising heat goes through the air it has a 99.96% chance of missing a CO2 molecule.
The value of long-term climate predictions was dismissed by the IPCC directly in 2001, saying exactly what its opposition had always said: "The climate system is a coupled non-linear chaotic system, and therefore the long-term prediction of future climate states is not possible"
14.2.2 Predictability in a Chaotic System The climate system is particularly challenging since it is known that components in the system are inherently chaotic; there are feedbacks that could potentially switch sign, and there are central processes that affect the system in a complicated, non-linear manner. These complex, chaotic, non-linear dynamics are an inherent aspect of the climate system. As the IPCC WGI Second Assessment Report (IPCC, 1996) (hereafter SAR) has previously noted, “future unexpected, large and rapid climate system changes (as have occurred in the past) are, by their nature, difficult to predict. This implies that future climate changes may also involve ‘surprises’. In particular, these arise from the non-linear, chaotic nature of the climate system
14.4 The elimination of models because they are in conflict with climate-relevant data is particularly important.
15) Climate's changed before Climate reacts to whatever forces it to change at the time; humans are now the dominant forcing.
I would read the summary of this article and draw your own conclusions.
16) Clouds provide negative feedback
It's called shade. Temperatures are always taken in the shade or the thermometer may melt on a hot day. What causes the shade which blocks so much heat from reaching the surface?

"The CLOUD experiment studies how ions produced by high-energy particles called cosmic rays affect aerosol particles, clouds and the climate. It uses a special cloud chamber and a beam of particles from the Proton Synchrotron to provide an artificial source of cosmic rays. For this run, however, the cosmic rays are instead natural high-energy particles from cosmic objects such as exploding stars.
“Cosmic rays, whether natural or artificial, leave a trail of ions in the chamber,” explains CLOUD spokesperson Jasper Kirkby, “but the Proton Synchrotron provides cosmic rays that can be adjusted over the full range of ionisation rates occurring in the troposphere, which comprises the lowest ten kilometres of the atmosphere. That said, we can also make progress with the steady flux of natural cosmic rays that make it into our chamber, and this is what we’re doing now.”"
see points 17 and 18, this just merges the two.
