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.

Two green-dream fantasies are heading for a massive and costly collision. Firstly, they dream of generating all grid power from wind and solar propped up by battery storage (such as lots of giant Tesla batteries [pictured] and pumped hydro).

Two Chinese scientists confirm that the killer coronavirus leaked from a lab no more than 300 yards away from the seafood market “epicenter” of the outbreak. “Somebody was entangled with the evolution of 2019-nCoV coronavirus.”

For almost twenty years, , we’ve endured the shrill media headlines, the hyperbole from conservation organizations, and the simplistic platitudes from scientists as summer sea ice declined dramatically while polar bear numbers rose. This video of mine from two years ago, which deconstructs the scare, is worth another look as International Polar Bear Day approaches with its associated ‘save the polar bear’ rhetoric.

A young American college student supporter of Principia Scientific International (name withheld) has been debating fellow students who have swallowed the junk science propaganda about man-man global warming.

In part 1, I attempted to list all of the sources of energy that reach the surface of Planet Earth, all of the factors that affect the amount of energy, and all of the energy flows out again.

I forgot to include gravity and tidal energy  in the list. I also forgot that there are forms of lightening that flow up, known as elves, sprites and blue jets.

Sunshine is free but solar power is not. In fact, it’s anything else but free or cheap.
The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project
As reported by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project (CDEP), also known as the Tonopah Solar Energy Project, has stopped operating and has been “mothballed.” The solar collectors, shown nearby, cover 300 acres.

Roughly five months before the Wuhan coronavirus (CoVid-19) reared its ugly head, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission held a hearing about America’s growing reliance on Chinese pharmaceuticals. And one of the things discussed – or perhaps admitted, depending on how you look at it – is the fact that a shocking 97 percent of all antibiotics in the United States now come from China.

his is an update of an earlier effort to counter the propaganda war that is going on to promote the falsehoods about the environment and climate. An update is required because skills improved with practice and as they lose the war desperation demands greater deceptions. Technocrats are at the center of this development.

Oils, snacks and drinks containing the cannabis extract cannabidiol (CBD) will be “taken off the shelves” next year if they do not gain regulatory approval in the UK.

Britain’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) said products had to be registered by March 2021 or they would be pulled.

Scientists say they have “decisively” overturned the prevailing theory for how planets in our Solar System formed. The established view is that material violently crashed together to form ever larger clumps until they became worlds.

New results suggest the process was less catastrophic – with matter gently clumping together instead.

A new study (Stallinga, 2020) assesses the climate sensitivity to rising CO2 concentrations is just 0.0014°C per ppm. Dr. Peter Stallinga has published a comprehensive analysis of the Earth’s ‘greenhouse effect.’ He finds an inconsequential role for CO2.

As we all recognize, access to clean and reliable energy is fundamentally important to countless aspects of our lives, our social and economic communities, and our long-term abilities to live in healthy balance with natural ecosystems.

The world’s glaciers have not been following along with the CO2-driven catastrophic melting narrative.

It is somewhat ironic – though in some ways unsurprising – that at the time when the climate change activism (or, rather, according to the new guidelines, climate crisis or climate catastrophe activism) is reaching its shrillest heights yet, what with Saint Greta, Extinction Rebellion and widespread “climate anxiety”, the actual science the activists so noisily champion over the (“denialist”) belief is showing positive trends.
