People are furiously debating right now whether ivermectin is a miracle drug for Covid-19, or whether it’s completely worthless. So far, we’ve had only low quality studies to draw from, along with plenty of strong rhetoric on both sides. Now we have two studies – meta-analyses of all the studies done to date – a process that may give us a more reliable picture. There’s only one problem. They come to completely opposite conclusions. What’s going on?Let’s have a look.
The Mallen Baker Show covers news, current affairs, science and politics. It aims to be independent, fact-focused and non-ideological. A rational and reasoned approach to some of the difficult issues of our time, including climate change, the Covid pandemic, and how we can best survive and thrive in the modern world.
Last week, the UK's Committee on Climate Change presented a report to the government calling for net zero emissions by 2050, and laying out how this could be achieved in some detail.
Since there's lots of talk about how quickly we could achieve such a target, particularly from campaign groups such as Extinction Rebellion, who think it can all be done in six years, I thought it might be used to dive into the detail of one section to look at what the report thinks needs to be done to get to next zero in energy production.

The world energy crisis ramps up with Russia turning the screws on a Europe that is hopelessly dependent on it for gas. The Prime Minister gives a crisis what crisis speech to his party conference as the country faces multiple challenges. And President Biden continues to push vaccines even as Pfizer is embarrassed by the words of its own employees.

The massive consequences of the Ukraine war on the world’s energy supplies continue to emerge, and one of them is to blow up the promises made at the COP26 climate conference. New claims are made that Vladimir Putin is in danger of a coup the longer the war drags on. And America indulges in the usual political showboating over the latest supreme court nomination.
Oh, and welcome to over a thousand new subscribers who caught the recent interview on Triggernometry!

In this round-up of the week, a big part of the world remains in lockdown, but already there are mixed messages about whether people’s resolve will hold. Environmentalists blunder straight into making disastrous comparisons between the response to the coronavirus pandemic and what they want to happen on climate change. And new research suggests the global ocean circulation is speeding up, contrary to previous reports that it was slowing down.
The Mallen Baker Show is aimed at all people who see themselves as change makers, with commentary on issues and change movements with a particular focus on climate change and environment, social issues, free speech and corporate social responsibility.

If you want to be a change maker, and make your mark on the world, you can do a lot worse than look at how some of the people who shaped the world in the past did what they did.
Learn from their successes.
Learn from their failures.
In this episode, we look at the extraordinary example of US President number one and hero of the war of independence, George Washington.

A huge judgement as the High Court rules that children cannot consent to body-changing trans treatments such as puberty blockers. Britain picks playground fights with Dr Fauci and everyone else about how much better it is than them. Joe Biden’s emerging new team signals a final end to the dream of Martin Luther King Jr. And cancel culture hits English Master Will Knowland at Eton School.

The University of Sydney is so keen to get women into engineering, it has lowered the bar for entry for girls. As of next year, they will get 10 additional entry points to encourage them to apply.
Is it a great initiative to tackle chronic under-representation of women in tech fields? Or is it a colossal blunder that insults women and casts a shadow over those who made it on merit under the normal system?
Let’s discuss.

China cracks down on protests as Xi Jinping struggles to contain the failure of Zero Covid. Apple and Elon Musk spar over whether the tech giant is actively trying to bring Twitter down. The Dutch government tries a new tack to try to shut down food production in the name of the climate. And in this week’s short thought – a politician in the jungle reveals how far removed from reality you become if you let yourself be a hater.

The riots seem to have died down for now - hopefully for good. But the arguments have continued, and amongst them has been the proposition that the UK is in the grip of 'two-tier policing'. That one part of our society is treated unfairly compared to the other. Let's discuss that in principle, and look at just a couple of the bits of online evidence put forward to support it.
