How much of our humanity are we willing to lose? It would appear that this question is becoming most pertinent in our age. But another, more fundamental, question foregrounds this one – what is a human being? Are people bio-mass? If so, then only one idea is required to exist on this planet, namely, how best to manage populations.

Abstract. It has been known for nearly three centuries that, to view a clear image of a star through a telescope, it is necessary to tilt the telescope slightly forward in the direction of the earth’s motion, a phenomenon known as “stellar aberration.”

By the mid-nineteenth century it had become generally accepted that much of Europe had once been covered by glacier.
The cause for such dramatic shifts in the Earth’s climate was unknown until James Croll (pictured above), a janitor, at Anderson’s University in Glasgow proposed the idea that variations in the Earth’s orbit might have precipitated ice ages.

A special announcement from physicist, John Droz Jr to all AWED Friends:
We get many requests for studies, reports and articles on a specific topic (e.g. wind energy infrasound) that were in previous Newsletters. Although Master Resource has generously posted some prior issues of the Newsletter, there was no way to quickly search over multiple prior Newsletter issues — until now!

2019 was the most extraordinary year of green bullsh*t yet.
Despite the planet being a wealthier, healthier and safer place than it was when fears of global warming first appeared on the political agenda in the 1980s – and despite the failure of more than half a century of green prognostications – crazy and destructive green ideas still dominate politics.

Introduction: In a previous article, with the same title, I demonstrated that the Greenplate effect, does not occur.
This is the supposed back radiation effect, which purportedly happens to a flat plate if you expose it to a radiant heat source, within a vacuum and then simply put another plate behind it.

In the final days of 2019, there is much to reflect upon events of the past year and, with the closing of the second decade of the 21st century, much to reflect upon how climate change alarmism has itself alarmingly morphed into something much more dangerous, visceral, urgent, ideologically driven and immediate as regards public perception and societal impact.

Ever hear of the Big Lie Theory? The CO2 greenhouse warming theory is a gigantic scientific hoax with ulterior purposes.
It originated back in the 19th century when understanding of thermodynamics was still primitive and atmospheric CO2 levels were low.

(somewhat tongue-in-cheek) If you are thinking about making New Year’s Resolutions (NYRs) to soothe your conscience, I suggest you venture from the beaten path. Pumping iron and exercising on the old treadmill type resolutions never last long before being forgotten and postponed for another year.

The Alarmist’s newest Saint, Greta Thunberg, “informed” us during a now-famous speech she gave at the U.N. Climate Action Summit in NYC.
“You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you.”
