Thank You for 152,000 page views .. and just what does a blog editor do?

I've read science and energy articles as a hobby since 1997.  My current goal is to read 10 to 12 articles a day. And some scientific studies each week too.  I publish edited versions of the best articles -- usually four to six of them every day -- as a public service, to refute the bizarre leftist climate emergency delusion.

What does "editing" mean?  

It means I make the articles slightly shorter, easier to read, and more persuasive. I delete content that doesn't support the main point. I'm not interested in reading unsupported personal opinions, speculation, politics in a science article, and off topic paragraphs. I usually wake up early. One hour later I have six edited articles that I had found online the day before, ready to be cut and pasted to this blog.

If there is a good conclusion in an article, I move it to the beginning of the article, where it belongs. I do not add any of my own words. I save them for my "climate raps" (which alarmists would call "climate denier ranting and raving") a few times a week.
 
My unusual formatting is due to a vision disability that hinders my reading. I will break up extra long sentences into two parts with space between them for readability, if there is such a word.
 
I prefer to believe I have no (known) mental disabilities. In fact, my wife often compares me with Albert Einstein: " You're no Einstein ! "   Sometimes she calls me a "genius" ...  just before asking me to clean out our cat's litter box. To which I respond:  "I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life".  (Thanks to Rita Rudner for that joke).
 
According to surveys, the worst parts of this blog are my lame attempts at humor. 
 
But I keep trying. I think my timing is slightly off. Or maybe my material has not improved much since grade school, when I would sign classroom attendance lists circulated by substitute teachers, as "Jim Shorts", or "Bob Wire", or "Ben Dover". Substitute teachers have no sense of humor. Just like leftists.
