In the search for extraterrestrial life, scientists have turned over all sorts of rocks. Mars, for example, has geological features that suggest it once had — and still has — subsurface liquid water, an almost sure prerequisite for life. Scientists have also eyed Saturn’s moons Titan and Enceladus as well as Jupiter’s moons Europa, Ganymede and Callisto as possible havens for life in the oceans under their icy crusts.
How Geoneutrinos can help in understanding of the Earth heat flux
Written by L B Bezrukov, A S Kurlovich et al.
New study in the Journal of Physics, using a Hydide Earth model (HE) predicts production of gases at high depths. Considered factors were geoneutrino fluxes, temperature profiles of super deep boreholes and experimentally observed increase of the ocean temperature. [1]
UK Weather Dependent Renewable Energy installations / capacity % / costs: 2017
Written by Ed Hoskins
Introduction: This post is concerned with the two main forms of UK Weather Dependent Renewable Energy in the UK, Wind Power, (Onshore and Offshore), and on grid Photovoltaic Solar Power. In the UK these amount to ~75{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of all installed Weather Dependent Renewable Energy. The other Renewable energy inputs are traditional Hydro power ~8{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} and the remainder are other sources such as biomass, waste and landfill gas amounting to ~17{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117}.
Germs with unusual antibiotic resistance widespread in U.S.
Written by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Health departments working with CDC’s Antibiotic Resistance (AR) Lab Network found more than 220 instances of germs with “unusual” antibiotic resistance genes in the United States last year, according to a CDC Vital Signs report released today.

The slow fade of radioactive elements following a supernova allows astrophysicists to study them at length. But the universe is packed full of flash-in-the pan transient events lasting only a brief time, so quick and hard to study they remain a mystery.
Harnessing the power of static electricity
Written by Edsel Cook
(Natural News) Do you remember your encounters with static electricity, e.g. every single time you walked across the carpet and grabbed the doorknob? Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) are unraveling the process with the hopes of turning it into an energy source, reported a Newswise article.
Ocean Deoxygenation ‘Call for Action’ Research Questioned
Written by Albert Parker
Earle et al (2018) recently urged action to tackle climate change this time because of ocean deoxygenation. According to the global warming theory, ocean deoxygenation is one not obvious but important indirect impacts of climate change on the oceans.
Lockheed-Martin Gets Patent for Portable Fusion
Written by Joseph P. Farrell
Many people sent me this article, and it’s worth looking at closely for what may be the real story here. Firstly, Lockheed’s portable fusion reactor is not new news. In fact, I blogged about this little device some years ago, here: THE LOCKHEED MARTIN FUSION STORY, E-CAT, AND SOME HIGH OCTANE ….

Global warming is causing the Sahara desert to grow, new research suggests.
Scientists have found that the world’s largest desert has expanded by more than ten percent over the last 100 years.
Climate-Related Deaths Down by 98.9%; Last Year All-Time Low

This is clearly opposite of what you normally hear, but that is because we’re often just being told of one disaster after another – telling us how many events are happening.
Snow Cover, Ice Volume Growth Show Global Climate Lot More Than Just ‘Surface Temperature’
Written by Pierre Gosselin
Although a number of scientists are hollering that 2017 was “among the warmest on record”, we are not seeing any manifestation of this, at least over the Northern Hemisphere, where ironically snow and ice have shown surprising extents.
The Stunning Statistical Fraud Behind The Global Warming Scare
Written by IBD
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may have a boring name, but it has a very important job: It measures U.S. temperatures. Unfortunately, it seems to be a captive of the global warming religion. Its data are fraudulent.
Top Lukewarmist Fred Singer Now Admits CO2 Cools Climate
