New Allegations Of ‘Fishy’ Climate Science

Written by Graham Lloyd

A collage of 50 lionfish was supposed to dampen questions over concerns around the academic rigor of former star James Cook University research student Oona Lonnstedt. Instead, the colorful photograph has prompted only more questions.

Why Climate Change Isn’t Science

Written by Daniel G Jones

Environmentalists first predicted impending climate disaster in the 1970s, but they didn’t call it global warming. Back then, it was “Global Cooling” that would end life on earth as we knew it.

Erwin Schrödinger’s Cute Personality

Written by Joseph E Postma

Funny T-Shirts - FiveFingerTees – Page 3

A quirk of personality which resulted in one of modern science’s greatest intellects not making a sufficiently powerful statement is found with Erwin Schrödinger’s attempt to refute the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics with his paradox of the cat.

I mean it is all a very cute idea, a very nice little silly idea of no particular consequence to any standers-by.

NASA’s newest planet-hunting spacecraft has already spied and confirmed a third world outside our Solar System — just three months into the vehicle’s science operations.

This newly discovered planet, or exoplanet, is relatively close by, orbiting a small star just 53 light-years away. And that means we may be able to study this world more extensively, to figure out what its atmosphere might hold.

Almost all plastic in the ocean comes from just 10 rivers

Written by Jennifer Collins

Wasserverschmutzung in China (AP)

At last count, there were at least 8.3 billion tons of plastic in the world. Much of it gets discarded and eventually ends up in our oceans.

Researchers are looking for ways to collect that trash in the sea using a variety of technologies but the overall consensus is that using less plastic, or at least catching the trash at the source, would be much better than filtering it out afterwards.

More Lack of Evidence for CO2 induced Ocean Warming

Written by John O'Sullivan

Broken sea ice emerges from under the hull of a Finnish icebreaker as it traverses the Arctic's Northwest Passage.

Despite repeated alarmist claims in the media there remains no real world evidence of carbon dioxide induced warming of oceans. Two new ocean warming papers typify the ceaseless reliance on unproven and empty pseudo-scientific claims.

Climate scientist retires, then declares ‘I am a skeptic’

Written by Anastasios Tsonis

Dr. Anastasios Tsonis, emeritus distinguished professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Authored more than 130 peer-reviewed papers and nine books:

‘I am a skeptic not just about global warming but also about many other aspects of science…Climate is too complicated to attribute its variability to one cause. We first need to understand the natural climate variability (which we clearly don’t; I can debate anybody on this issue). Only then we can assess the magnitude and reasons of climate change.’

‘If science were settled, then we should pack things up and go home.’

How to Maximize Your Plant Growth with CO2 | Matador CO2 ...

Supposedly “green” or “renewable” energy has become a trillion-dollar-plus annual industry that has spawned tens of thousands of new businesses worldwide. The total Climate-Industrial Complex is a $2-trillion-per-year business. Major fossil fuel companies like Shell Energy now have green energy divisions.
