Here is Michael Schellenberger writing about Germany’s “ambitious” (as it is always called) green energy transition known as die Energiewende (energy transition, or turning point)

It was a depressing if expected inevitability when Western Australia’s Rowley Shoals showed the first signs of mass coral bleaching earlier this year, but a follow-up survey has found a remarkable recovery looks likely to preserve the reef’s near-pristine health — at least for now.

Tom Holmes, the marine monitoring coordinator at the WA Department of Biodiversity, Conservation, and Attractions, said that while his team was still processing the data, it appeared the coral had pulled off an “amazing” return towards health over the past six months.

A year in space is no walk in the park. Just ask Scott Kelly, the American astronaut who spent a year on the International Space Station (ISS) in 2015.

His long-term stay in space changed his DNA, telomeres, and gut microbiome, he lost bone density, and he still had sore feet three months later.

A few days ago I provided critical comments on a publication from Australia (University of Melbourne) which claimed isolation and identification of SARS-CoV-2 virus [1]. I suggested that claims were not supported by scientific evidence and logic.

The general theory of relativity was published by the physics genius more than a century ago, to refine Isaac Newton’s law of universal gravitation. Providing a unified description of gravity as a geometric property of space and time, or spacetime, this model is still currently used by scientists as an explanation of gravitation in modern physics.

According to a study performed by Tel Aviv University, “environmentally friendly” cutlery like utensils and plates made with bioplastics is actually posing a threat to marine species.

Previously, it was thought that disposable tableware made out of bioplastics was much better for the environment than normal plastic because it would decompose quicker and pose fewer risks to fish, birds, and other sea creatures.

Among the top items Google is promoting today under the search term “climate change” is a paper out of the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) titled, “Climate Change Will Give Rise to More Cancers.”

As the title implies, the study claims climate change will contribute to “higher rates of cancer, especially lung, skin and gastrointestinal cancers,” because climate change will cause poor air quality and disruptions in the food supply.

Moderna, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson are leading candidates for the completion of a Covid-19 vaccine likely to be released in the coming months. These companies have published their vaccine trial protocols. This unusually transparent action during a major drug trial deserves praise, close inspection of the protocols raises surprising concerns.

Principia Scientific International has received information from the Concerned Lawyer’s Network. This is the first part of their legal action explained. We will do a follow-up article on their actions and evidence.

A woman with COVID-19 in Washington state shed infectious virus particles for 70 days, meaning she was contagious during that entire time, despite never showing symptoms of the disease, according to a new report.

Scientists have long assumed that about 40 percent of the universe’s visible matter — the kind makes up everything we can see and touch — was missing, never having been detected.

Positive RT-PCR test means being sick with COVID. This assumption is misleading. Very few people, including doctors, understand how a PCR test works. RT-PCR means Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction. (This article is in English & underneath are notes in French)

In French, it means: Réaction de Polymérisation en Chaîne en Temps Réel. In medicine, we use this tool mainly to diagnose a viral infection.

The Quicycle Society is an organization dedicated to furthering the principles of pure science. One of its principal goals is to illuminate the unity between quantum, classical and relativistic mechanics. Standard model physicists have been unable to link them together. Some have gone so far as to say that quantum mechanics and relativity are mutually exclusive.

If it wasn’t miserable enough being told that I have to spend the next month at home, now I have ‘Pete’ from Octopus Energy emailing me and asking if I would mind terribly turning off a few appliances between 4.30 pm and 6.30 pm. If fact, he says, if I can halve my energy usage during those hours he’ll give me a half-price deal on the rest.

The mystery surrounding the enigmatic phenomenon known as ‘fast radio bursts’ (FRBs) may be closer than ever to being solved as astronomers have detected one of the puzzling pulses within our own galaxy and, in turn, determined its origin.

Yesterday Pfizer announced to much media fanfare that it has a breakthrough in the search for a reliable COVID-19 vaccine claiming studies showed it can prevent 90% of people contracting the virus. But respected former vice-president of Pfizer, Dr. Michael Yeadon, raises serious concerns.
