Slogans are for people who need to be told what to think.
Several years back, I took online unconscious bias training. It was mandatory, and I felt I was in no position - professionally and privately - to "fight with windmills". Perhaps, I should've just ignore it, to see whether anyone would remind me that I "forgot". Yet, as most of the scientists, I just dealt with it - as you usually do with annoying tasks people throw at you - so I could go back to the work that mattered - my scientific work.
I wish I could say I was all brave and courageous, but I was not, so there you go - I took a bloody "training".
I remember taking the "training", as I had no time to read or watch all the nonesense nor I've wished otherwise as I've already had hint of awareness about its idological coloring. It was 9pm and I was still in the office, glancing towards time and thinking which train to catch. At the end of little "training" chapters, there were quizes; rushing, I decided to give them a go. Take a quiz, pass a quiz, go home - that was my mantra. My plan to pass -...
This was a very late recording contrasting two news articles about Omicron - so called "Covid super-strain".
I know I haven't been around lately...work...life...However, the 12-years-old clip popped into my feed and I wanted to share it. The reason?

The sad reality is that even after 12 years from this clip, we are still forced to endure nonsensical conclusions that hurricanes hitting Florida are caused by big bad climate change.
The mainstream media is doubling down on the alarmism, and it is not hard to guess why. However, to be fair, consider my little observation an educated guess, an opinion, rather than the fact. Time will show whether I am right.
(1) 'Climate change affects everyone': Europe battles wildfires in intense heat by Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/spain-portugal-battle-wildfires-heatwaves-scorch-southern-europe-2022-07-17/)
If you spent time in Southern Europe, Mediterranean, during summer season - July and August in particular - you probably know that heat-induced wildfires are nothing new. In fact, they are quite common and remarkably devastating for the affected communities, and I have witnessed several in person. Most of the time, the wildfires occur due to heat igniting grasses, especially in the areas where there are broken glass or broken bottles. The glass serves as an amplifier for the sun rays, especially, in the vicinity of dry grasses, or even dry pine needles, and as ...
