An old mantra of the news business is, “if it bleeds, it leads.” If someone was murdered, it is news. That virtually no one gets murdered is not news.

That, by itself, should tell you that the mainstream media cannot be relied upon as an unbiased source of climate change information.

It should come as a wake-up call to the MSM who so blindly follow the climate change fanatics’ doomsday prognostications.

This is the news that Michael Mann, the litigious climatologist at Penn State University who created the ‘hockey stick graph’ (which appears to show global temperatures taking a noticeable swing upward in the era when humanity has been burning fossil fuels and dumping CO2 into the atmosphere), has lost his lawsuit against climate change sceptic Dr Tim Ball, and has been ordered to pay his costs.

Two British psychology professors have put forth a shocking proposal in a Newsweek opinion piece published on Tuesday.

Jared Piazza and Neil McLatchie, psychology professors at Lancaster University, have proposed that ordinary people embrace cannibalism in order to provide an alternative to meat consumption that they see as environmentally destructive.

A genetic analysis of almost half a million people has concluded there is no single “gay gene”.

The study, published in Science, used data from the UK Biobank and 23andMe, and found some genetic variants associated with same-sex relationships.

But genetic factors accounted for, at most, 25% of same-sex behaviour.

After climate researcher Dr Michael Mann’s stunning defeat in his libel court battle versus skeptic, Dr Tim Ball, we look back on how culpable his employers, Penn State University, could be in the ‘cover up crime’ to hide his fraudulent data.

Some fresh new scientific papers are confirming that renewable energies, particularly wind and solar power, are not delivering what was promised – not by a long shot.

They likely will become far more of a burden than a benefit.

Graham Hancock discusses the evidence for a cataclysmic event 12,800 years ago which, he says, many academics would rather you didn’t know about. This short video is an introduction to a fascinating new theory of mass extinction due to a comet impact that ended the last ice age.

In this video I expose, with first-hand evidence, that the peer-review method of modern science is no guarantor of truth, and that peer-review now actively perpetuates and sustains the greatest intellectual and scientific fraud in history.

The increase in fires burning in Brazil set off a storm of international outrage last week. Celebrities, environmentalists, and political leaders blame Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, for destroying the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon, which they say is the “lungs of the world.”

Efforts to stampede the USA and world into forsaking fossil fuels and modern farming continue apace.

UN and other scientists recently sent out news releases claiming July 2019 was the “hottest month ever recorded on Earth” – nearly about 1.2 degrees C (2.2 degrees F) “above pre-industrial levels.”

We know there is simply no basis for climate alarm.

All “scientific” predictions have failed, life has survived happily with much higher CO2 in the past, the medieval warming period a thousand years ago was much warmer than today.

The small temperature variations of the 20th century are easily explained by natural causes, and the IPCC reports confirm that there is no increase in extreme weather events and no economic harm from CO2.

Update Aug. 26, 2019: This article has been updated with new information from NASA that’s been posted at Science 2.0. You can read it here.

Short summary: We have had wildfires for many years now in the Amazon, even in the tropical rainforest – mainly started by humans for forest clearing and ranching.
