Time to use Fauci to put them on trial.
As noted, they have multiple options.

For Climate Alarmists
Chris Martz has ten questions:
Here are TEN questions that I have for any climate alarmists reading, and I hope I can get some honest answers down in the comments:

1️⃣ You have asserted that the planet is dangerously overheating. So, what exactly is the correct globally averaged surface air temperature…
I’d like to see Michael Mann’s answers.
A Golden Oldie
From twenty-one years ago on this date. A lot of comments there from commenters who may no longer be with us.
First Starship V.3 attempt was on the anniversary of the launch; today’s will be on the anniversary of the landing. I’ll be discussing that and Evoloterra on The Space Show at 7 PM PDT.
Data-Center Opposition
…is a cultural proxy war against AI.
This is what will drive them into space.
On Platner
No, we didn’t all make mistakes. I sure as hell didn’t. I didn’t on Covid, either, or Biden’s obvious cognitive issues. That’s on them, and we should never trust them again, if we ever did.

This is reaping the consequences of the politics of unquestioned assumptions.
I like the kicker: “If they were capable of learning lessons from failure, they wouldn’t be Democrats.”
Coding And AI
An interesting X thread of diverse experiences:
This is a certain kind of talk around LLMs that I find increasingly puzzling. That is all of the people bitching that LLMs constantly generate crap code and hallucinate solutions, and are worthless for programming.

This has almost never happened to me, and never during the last…
My own experience is that it can be useful in providing first drafts for things like business plans, requirements documents, etc., but I have to edit, and many wouldn’t have the knowledge to do it properly or recognize issues. It can be a multiplier of both good and bad.
[Update a while ago]
The wages of AI: Professor bans take-home exams after rampant cheating.
What would terrify me about this if I were a student again would be having to go back to handwriting papers and essays. If I didn’t have a keyboard, I’d have hardly written anything in my life.
The Value Of Civilization
Yes, space will be viewed as a waste of money until the looters understand its value, and will then try to take control.
“The Science” Is Broken
I always laugh when someone demands to see a “peer reviewed” paper on a topic, as though that means anything worthwhile.
The editors of the world's most prestigious medical journals are sounding the alarm, and nobody is listening.

"We have peer reviewed, high impact editors in most of the journals that are the most high impact, saying that they don't believe what is being published in those… pic.twitter.com/YxwpgSKKH4
Worth noting, of course, that Michael Mann’s papers were “peer reviewed.”
The Spoils System
Yes, let’s bring it back.
The SCOTUS ruling should give the administration free rein to clean house.
Human Use Of Fire
…may be hundreds of thousands of years earlier than we previously thought.
