Dylan Mulvaney Named Woman of the Year by Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards
Hotair | 10/13/23 | Karen TownsendA man is not a woman. A man is not Woman of the Year. Yet, here we are.
At an awards ceremony in the U.K., Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards named Dylan Mulvaney, an American transgender activist and social media influencer, as Woman of the Year. The ceremony was for an LGBT magazine for the U.K. and Europe.
Mulvaney attended the ceremony. When he accepted the award, he said that it has been 560 days since he started transitioning. That’s a long grift for social media. Dylan said some people “don’t see me as a woman at all.” Boos came from the audience. Everyone else knows that people don’t think of him as a woman BECAUSE HE IS A MAN. It’s science. I don’t make the rules.

Straight Line of the Day: So Why Is Mont Blanc Shrinking?
Scientists Are Baffled as Mont Blanc Keeps Shrinking
MSN | Oct. 6, 2023 | Katherine Fidler
Mont Blanc, the tallest mountain in Western Europe, is slightly less tall after shrinking two metres in two years – but scientists aren’t quite sure why.
A team of French researchers measures the alpine peak every two years. The latest check shows the famous mountain is currently 4,805.59 metres high. In September 2021, it stood at 4,807.81m.
In 2007, Mont Blanc stood at 4,810.90m.
The team, equipped with cutting-edge tools and a drone for the first time, carried out point-by-point measurements of Mont Blanc for several days last month.
Mont Blanc’s height changes from year to year depending on wind and weather, which affects the thick layer of snow and ice on its surface.
The surveyors, from the Haute-Savoie department, said it is now up to climatologists, glaciologists and other scientists to look at the data collected and put forward all the theories to explain this phenomenon.
…
He urged people not to use the height measurement to ‘say any old thing’ as Mont Blanc ‘could well be much taller in two years’ – cautioning against linking the shrinking peak to climate change. . . .
‘This is not representative of global climate warming, because the climatic conditions at the summit of Mont Blanc are rather polar,’ said glaciologist Luc Moreau.
First time I’ve heard any scientist in the mainstream media caution against attributing something to global warming. Maybe in a hundred years that will become a trend.
