Doomsday Debunked - fact checking stories that scare you

One surprisingly warm January is NOT evidence of sudden warming - most likely need to refine modeling of the oceans - we can't have sudden warming (virtually certain) by IPCC AR6 / WG1 / Chapter 7

Tiny fraction of USAID funding for transinclusive DEIA - not fraud - Trump can't close down USAID - Schatz slows down Senate appointments in protest - employee reduction paused - legal cases underway

Trump can't ignore court orders such as the pause on the Federal funding freeze - a persistent modern myth - no president can ignore a court order - Trump has never tried - nothing he can do

No, Trump can't close down or defund the Department of Education or any other Agency or Department set up by legislation in Congress

DOGE is doing a heavy-handed "read-only" audit of treasury systems - DOGE is advisory only - it can't change anything - if Musk's team does anything illegal it can and WILL be stopped in the courts

For scared people and debunkers: Trump's surge in executive orders will likely soon stop - and many of his attempts at dramatic actions will be stopped in the courts - as for the Federal freeze

Trump can't change the medical reality of trans by removing CDC web pages - it's like a dog barking at the Moon - Mayo clinic, John Hopkins, Cleveland Clinic etc continue to cover the truth in the USA

Shoots for future growth - many extraordinarily positive things happening today - positive counterpart to Doomsday Clock

Trump can't build a prison for 30,000 in Guantanamo bay - Congress would never vote to build a pointless $3 billion+ facility - largest in the world - just deflecting from his failed Federal freeze
