The data Lomborg gives is based on the IPCC results and on Nordhaus work (Nobel Prize). No distorted data, being shouted by ideologues completely dominated by hatred and ideology, can be compared to that. Let us stick to good quality data: IPCC, Nordhaus. The rest is (worse than) noise. The...

The best thinking about this, IMHO, is by Bjorn Lomborg, see starting at 5:00 approx.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otsJno55J0g He gives a nuanced and rational argumentation. He agrees there is global warming, and that global warming will probably result in some damage. But he quantifies...

I am interested about keto diets. And some people doing keto diets argue that before Neolithic, people (assumed to be hunter-gatherers) were mostly eating animals (meat, fat, bones ...) but they were not eating plants, since the calorie content of "natural" plants was so low, that it did not...

What we need to look is pros and cons. For sure there will be some cons. Water level will increase in some places. I believe the Dutch are pretty good at building dykes, so I guess we can quantify this a bit. Less people will die, since people die less of heat than from cold. We should quantify...

Being an ignorant about climate forecasts, what surprises me is that there are so many people using a "scandalized" tone of writing about feeling warmer than in the past, but then when you read what they write dispassionately, it seems clearly they are usually describing a "positive" process for...

Doing a keto diet is the best thing I could do for my health. Yes, unrefined carbs are, according to a famous blogger, the new tobacco.

This is probably true. Question: would this news would have been reported if in an area, men with IQs of 60-80 were "better" than women with IQs of 101-120? IRONIC MODE OFF.

​Your Political Compass Economic Left/Right: 5.25 Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.44 Can anybody explain me what the Libertarian Left is? An example, maybe, apart from the Spanish Civil War one? (which I had never heard of before).

Yes, it is just having lived in Spain for 3 years. I was also very surprised when I realized of that. In fact, an overwhelming majority of non-Europeans living in Spain followed that route (especially in recent times). The truth that nobody tells in the media, but when you speak to people on...

No. We asked for a residence permit, which is a pre-condition to become a citizen. So, we asked "what anybody else would ask". Just that (rationally at least), my now-wife had many more reasons to get that residence permit, since she had a couple (future husband) in the EU. When I asked to...

My wife is Ukrainian (outside of EU, "similar to Poles"), and there is a similar trend in Continental Europe. Bringing her to become a EU citizen (we are married, and we have a child born here) was an odyssey. The "legal process" is just a nightmare, I could write a book on it. It is extremely...

Current Europeans are not the "original" Europeans (WHG), but an admixture of WHG, Yamnaya and Anatolian farmers. It seems a similar process of admixture occurred in many other civilisations. One of the conclusions is that the current people in an area do not need to be the same kind of people...

I am sure Angela knows how to defend herself, but it is obvious she is not accusing of fraud to anybody. Have you felt called in? The issue of supervised or non-supervised is not the relevant point, if samples have been "massaged" ex-ante. For sure, misclassification is a serious issue, but if...

I recommend to follow https://twitter.com/BjornLomborg/with_replies for rationality on climate change.
