“Power and energy, the generation and control thereof, is the number one business in the world, more powerful than guns and drugs, food and property. One of my first discoveries, after having graduated from University, was that science and scientists in general were controlled in their activities by managers and political influences originating from individuals with no intrinsic knowledge of science.
Over the period from November 2018 to March 2019, I wrote a series of posts on the subject of the true costs of trying to get electricity from intermittent wind and solar sources.
Trying to imply that cooling is right around the corner when we’re watching record-breaking warm ocean temperatures to me seems a big stretch. But current facts and the history around the five previous Ice Ages that came and melted before fossil fuels became recognizable words may be worthy of review.
From 2008 to 2016, a widespread cooling ranging from 0.6°C to more than 2.0°C has effectively chilled the entire oceanic region from E. Canada to N. Iceland to S. Europe.
The cooling persists year-round and extends from the surface down to depths of 800 m.
Principia Scientific’s senior scientist, Dr. Klaus L.E. Kaiser, pens an open letter to Canada’s minister in charge of Environment and Climate Change, The Hon. Jonathan Wilkinson (photo, center, above) to explain that carbon dioxide is being wrongly characterized as a pollutant, when established science proves it is essential and benign plant food.

Primary-age children have been banned from heading the ball in new guidelines issued by the football associations in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Heading restrictions for all age groups under 18 were also announced with a graduated use between 12 and 16. The guidance, which will not yet apply in Wales, will affect training only.
Climate alarmists are getting very nervous that President Trump will put some actual scientists on board the next National Climate Assessment. This will make it much harder for them to politicize the science and commit fraud.
A remarkable feature of the ‘climate emergency’ movement is the manner in which it conflates many separate things into just one or two.
I mentioned in part 1 that the word ‘climate’ used to refer to an array of factors within a region, including typical seasonal variations, wind, precipitation and vegetation.
For three years, anthropologist Alan Rogers has attempted to solve an evolutionary puzzle. His research untangles millions of years of human evolution by analyzing DNA strands from ancient human species known as hominins.
While trying to fatten the atom in 1938, German chemist Otto Hahn (image, above) accidentally split it instead. This surprising discovery put modern science on the fast track to the atomic age and to the realization of technologies with profound potential for great harm or great help.

It is common sense that we believe colder things cannot further warm anything that is already warmer. There is also a law of physics that says “no process is possible the sole result of which is the transfer of heat from a body of lower temperature to a body of higher temperature”.
What follows is one of the most important interviews of the year. Biological warfare expert Prof. Frances Boyle appeared as a guest with Alex Jones on the Alex Jones Show, sharing his “smoking gun” findings about the coronavirus being engineered as a weapon that’s designed, “for efficient spreading in the human population,” according to one of the science papers he references.
In Germany there have been rumors that the alleged Antarctic Seymour Island “all-time Antarctic record high” of 20.75°C set on February 9th is a hoax – originating by the AFP news agency and then spread by The Guardian.
China and India are NOT buying into the global alarm movement.
Never in human history have we seen two countries (China and India), each with over a billion people, in need of such gargantuan amounts of energy to keep their economies accelerating and their citizens alive.
Here’s an email thread I had with colleagues that presents some good reading and video links, which I thought I should share with readers. The email thread starts with someone sending me this interview video:
European activists are putting lives at risk in East Africa, turning a plague of insects into a real prospect of widespread famine. The fast-breeding desert locust has invaded Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia, creating a state of emergency.
