Scientists at the B612 Foundation, based in the US, are “100 percent certain” that the rogue space rocks will smash into Earth. Only 18,000 asteroids are tracked globally, with the majority not even monitored, according to Australian site News.com.au.
During the Roman Warm Period ~2,000 years ago, sea levels were significantly higher than they are now. Modern coastlines are 2 miles down from where they were during the Roman invasion of Britain in 43 AD, strongly implying that surface air temperatures were much warmer ~2,000 years ago compared to today.
Scientists say that the Yellowstone supervolcano gets stronger every year, and they now think they know why. An 1,800-mile deep “hotspot” has been discovered under the caldera which scientists believe is the volcano’s heat source.
Drs. Mozaffarian and Forouhi raise a crucial question in their article, “Dietary guidelines and health—is nutrition science up to the task?”[1] That task, of course, is whether our nutrition recommendations have effectively prevented the major chronic diseases of our time.
Academics at University College London (UCL) have said there is little basis to justify terms like ‘climate refugee’ after finding that the majority of conflict in Africa and forced migration has been as a result of rapid population growth.
Our planet has just experienced the most extreme two-year cooling event in a century. But where have you seen this reported anywhere in the mainstream media?
Environmentalists have long waged war on our feathered friends, but now they have their sights on a new target: endangered apes.
It’s been just months since the Tapanuli orangutan was discovered, as scientists marveled at the new species of the great ape, only the third of its kind.
The BBC has withdrawn Human Planet from distribution after admitting that the series faked scenes of an Indonesian hunter harpooning a whale.
The natural history programme is currently available on Netflix but will be withdrawn within 24 hours while the corporation conducts an “editorial review”.
Just about all life on Earth — from the jumbo-jet-sized blue whale to tiny microbes — use carbon in one form or another. In the deep ocean, though, all carbon is not created equal.
PREDATOR OR PREY? Giant ground sloths like Megatherium, illustrated here, were elephant-sized herbivores that, with sharp claws and thick muscle, would have been difficult for prehistoric humans to hunt — though that doesn’t appear to have been a deterrent.
Scientists with the Ocean Cleanup Company are gearing up to tackle the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an expanse of garbage in the Pacific Ocean that contains as many as 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic and spans 617,763 square miles.
In recent years we’ve learned a great deal about the dangers of sugars, even finding out that research was compromised in the 1970’s, misleading the world about its dangers. It is as addictive as cocaine, it is linked to diabetes and many doctors and scientists believe that it may be the leading cause of cancer worldwide.
Climate change alarmism is based entirely on speculation, not on science. Alarmism per se is not a hoax, because people really believe it. But alarmism is driven by a repeated practice that is in fact a hoax.
