Pitt Releases Fake Research, Claims PA Fracking Linked to Kid Cancer
We now have the perfect example of how the government corrupts science. In 2020, Pennsylvania’s then-Gov. Tom Wolf gave $2.5 million (via his Dept. of Health) to the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) with instructions to research whether or not a single cause, shale drilling, is linked to a small cluster of rare childhood cancers in southwestern PA (see Pitt Researchers Get $2.5M for Fake Study to Link Shale & Kid Cancer). As we said from the beginning, that’s not real science. Real science does not focus on a single cause. Pitt’s remit was to FIND a link, no matter what, and they received millions to do so. Guess what? They found a link. Isn’t that a coincidence?

In April, the U.S. Supreme Court breathed new life into a long-running lawsuit funded by Big Green groups using (abusing) a small group of uppity Virginia landowners who argue the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) had no right to delegate authority to Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) to use eminent domain to cross land, including the land owned by the small group of uppity landowners in Virginia (see 
Last week MDN told you that WhiteHawk Energy, headquartered in Philadelphia with ownership of mineral and royalty interests for 850,000 gross unit acres and over 2,500 producing horizontal shale wells between the Marcellus and the Haynesville, had proposed marriage to PHX Minerals, based in Fort Worth, Texas, owner of 75,000 leased mineral acres principally located in the SCOOP and Haynesville plays (see 
Folks new to the Marcellus/Utica may not know this, but Chesapeake Energy’s then-CEO Aubrey McClendon first “discovered” the Ohio Utica about 15 years ago. Under McClendon, Chesapeake spent over $2 billion acquiring rights to drill 1.3 million acres in Ohio–or roughly 5% of the state’s land area. McClendon pegged the value of the Utica for Ohio at half a trillion dollars. He famously said the Ohio Utica is “the biggest thing economically to hit Ohio, since maybe the plow.” McClendon was tossed out of the company he founded by corporate raider Carl Icahn, so he started a new company (to target the Ohio Utica) that eventually became Ascent Resources. Tragically, McClendon died in March 2016, so he never got to see his dream turn into reality (see 
We have U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (lib Dem from WV) to thank for passing the so-called Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) one year ago (see 
And so the end-game, the true insanity, begins. A group of brainwashed children (who are being mentally abused and used by adults, in our humble opinion) won a court case in Montana this week that says Montana state agencies are violating their constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment by allowing fossil fuel development. Yup. No more fossil fuel development in Big Sky Country unless you first obsequiously bow down and worship the GOD of Climate Change first, and pinky-swear promise you won’t emit any carbon dioxide or methane if you drill an oil or gas well. The decision came from an idiot judge who made his ruling while exhaling CO2 (violating his own edict). The judge finds that CO2 is evil. It’s burning up the earth. The new religion of Climate Change was just instituted by judicial fiat for all of Montana. (This would all be hilarious if not so tragic.)
No wonder our children are spaced out on anti-anxiety meds like Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, and Ativan. They are force-fed (brainwashed) with global warming hysteria in schools all day long. The media convinces their unthinking parents to believe the lie too. The narrative in schools and on the airways says if we don’t stop producing so much carbon dioxide (and fugitive methane) right now, TODAY, we’re all history. Mankind will kill itself in about 20 years by making the Earth unlivable. If you drive a gasoline car or use natural gas for heat and cooking, you’re killing Mom Earth. Many people who believe the lie have given up hope that there is a future. “Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.” That’s the very old-but-made-new-again philosophy. Predictably, many are becoming unhinged, and some are even violent. Leftists are now concerned that maybe they’ve gone a bit too far with all of this “end of the world” stuff, and they’re beginning to walk it back.
