If this new paper is correct, we should be firing up our SUVs.

Thirty years on, how do climate predictions hold up?
Not well. [paywall]

Left-Coast Lawlessness
Sounds like San Francisco, Seattle and Portland are becoming like third-world hell holes. I’m supposed to go up to the city in July for the ISS conference. Doesn’t seem like a great location choice.
Illegal Immigration Solutions
Democrats have zero tolerance for them.
It’s all about importing more voters to swamp the ones here who won’t bend to their will.
[Update a few minutes later]
Who wants to solve the crisis? Not Congressional Democrats. They don’t want a solution; they want the issue.
SpaceShipOne
It’s the fourteenth anniversary of its first space flight. Here’s a blog post I wrote in Mojave the evening before.
And fourteen years later, not a single passenger has flown in this flawed concept. https://t.co/fi4iBuTH7b

The future ain’t what it used to be: Space tourism edition.
I do think though, that with Blue Origin getting ready to start test-passenger flights, it’s finally arriving.
No, Donald
You did not “reopen NASA.” You make yourself look like a fool to anyone who knows what’s going on, but that’s not your base.

More Junk Nutrition “Science”
The “Mediterranean Diet” has been discredited.

John Hawkins has five weird things about being a conservative who doesn’t love Trump.
I’m not a conservative, but I agree with all.
Narrator: Both charities were profoundly corrupt. Both candidates were profoundly corrupt. https://t.co/bsZHUwmQre

“Deviated”
The Horowitz report is out, and (as predicted) it looks pretty bad for the FBI and DOJ. And Comey.
[Friday update at noon]
Three big takeaways from the report. It’s a big report, and there will be a lot of cherry picking by both sides.
[Update a while later]
The report shows that the fix was in from the beginning for the email investigation. Well, duh.
[Saturday-morning update]
Mollie Hemingway read the whole report so you don’t have to.
Leaving This “Wretched” Planet
That’s quite a hed and URL of this NYT story about private space facilities. I don’t know why it would require fifteen weeks of training, though. I think that’s more likely to put wealthy people off than the price tag.
[Wednesday update]
Alan Boyle (unsurprisingly) has a better story about it.
