Open Letter: Alumni on MIT’s Climate Action Plan

Written by Dr. Duane Thresher

Dear MIT Climate Actors,

I, an MIT alum, was just looking at MIT’s so-called Climate Action Plan, particularly its advisory committee, to see if there were any skeptical climate scientists on it — science that doesn’t allow a diversity of opinions is not science.

Not only were there no skeptical climate scientists on it, there were no real climate scientists at all!

Skeptic climatologist, Dr Tim Ball – after his sensational courtroom victory over UN IPCC junk scientist and British Columbia Green Party Leader – now targets climate fraudster, Michael ‘hockey stick’ Mann. [Editor: Please DONATE  today. We set up and coordinated Tim Ball’s legal defense fund and anticipate the need for your further support – see *APPEAL below this article]

Electromagnetic Gravity? Examination of the Electric Universe Theory

Written by Raymond HV Gallucci, PhD, PE

One of the prime tenets of Electric Universe Theory is that electromagnetism dominates over gravity throughout the universe, given that 99{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of all matter (ignoring the fictitious Dark Matter and Energy) is plasma and that electromagnetism is 39 orders of magnitude stronger than gravity.

Midwest Summers have had Six Decade COOLING Trend

Written by Michael Bastasch

U.S. corn states have actually experienced slightly cooler summers since the mid-20th century, according to a new study documenting how the regions bucked the overall global warming trend.

Scientists with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found the intensification of agriculture operations actually cooled Midwest regions from 1950 to 2009, showing the importance of local land-use in climatic changes.

Cold Scientific Fact: Earth is Cooling Down

Written by Anthony Bright-Paul

Every object in the Universe that is radiating infra red is cooling down. Ergo the mighty Sun is cooling down as every molecule that is radiating infra red is also cooling down. The Earth also, this Planet on which we live, is radiating infrared, not so powerful as the infrared from the Sun, but powerful enough. Ergo the Earth ĺikewise is cooling down.

Google’s global warming search bias

Written by David Wojick, PhD.

The rumor that Google has tuned its search algorithm to work against the skeptics of climate change alarmism appears to be true.

Searches on prominent skeptics systematically yield more negative attacks than positive information. This cannot be an accident. It may well be illegal, given Google’s deep financial interest in alarmism.

Can Varying Light Speed Explain Photon-Particle Interactions?

Written by Raymond HV Gallucci, PhD, PE

All explanations of interactions between photons, the alleged “particles” of which light consists, and other forms of matter particles rely on the Einsteinian assumption of a constant speed of light.  In particular are the classical phenomenon of Compton Scattering and one rejected by mainstream cosmology – “tired light.”

Both have been cited, rightly or wrongly, as alternative mechanisms to cosmic expansion to explain the cosmological red-shift that characterizes the alleged “expanding universe.”

Another Role for Corpuscles in the Double-Slit Experiment?

Written by Raymond HV Gallucci, PhD, PE

Under the current theory for light, it is alleged to have both wavelike and particle-like properties, called the “wave-particle duality.”  One of the earliest experiments indicating the wavelike aspect was the “double-slit” experiment performed by Young in 1801 (graphic above).

At that time, it allegedly refuted Newton’s postulate of a particle nature to light in favor of light being purely a wave.  Not until the discovery of the photoelectric effect a century later did light’s potential behavior as a particle become rejuvenated.  This paper examines how the particle nature of light may be consistent with its wavelike behavior via analysis of the double-slit experiment from a particle perspective.

New Ozone Hole Scare Won’t Save the Great Climate Hoax

Written by John O'Sullivan

‘Ozone layer is not recovering over populated areas’, scientists warn;  And so the UK’s The Guardian newspaper (February 6, 2018) spins more eco fake news. While the hole over Antarctica has been closing, the protective ozone is thinning at the lower latitudes, where the sunlight is stronger and billions of people live. (Be scared, will ya!)

So, what’s the truth behind it all?

Climate Bet 10 Years on: What Became of Al Gore’s ‘Tipping Point’?

Written by Kesten C Green

In 2007, University of Pennsylvania Professor J. Scott Armstrong challenged former U.S. Vice President Al Gore to a bet on what would happen to global average temperatures over the following 10 years.

Armstrong’s challenge was in response to Gore’s warning of a looming dangerous “tipping point” in global mean temperatures. His proposal of a $10,000 bet was intended to draw attention to the need to assess the predictive validity of climate forecasts in an objective manner. Armstrong issued his challenge based on the knowledge that predictions of dangerous global warming were the product of methods that violated 72 of 89 forecasting principles relevant to the forecasting problem.

Report: Climate change ‘worst-case scenario’ ruled out

Written by Rick Moran

The most cataclysmic scenarios for global warming have been ruled out, according to a new report from the University of British Columbia.

But the report also warns that the climate will still destabilize, wreaking havoc on the planet. According to the report, it all comes down to a reduction in the use of coal.

Scottish skiing a thing of the past—until it isn’t

Scottish ski industry could disappear due to global warming, warns Met Office – Telegraph

Nine years ago this week, the UK government’s top scientist announced the end of Scottish skiing, due to a 0.0001-mole fraction increase in an essential and harmless trace gas over the prior century

Eighteen years ago, CRU announced the end of snow in the UK, for the same reason.

According to Dr. David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia, within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”. “Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.

‘Sinking’ Pacific Island Touted as Prime Climate Change Victim is Actually Rising

Written by AFP

AFP — The Pacific nation of Tuvalu — long seen as a prime candidate to disappear as climate change forces up sea levels — is actually growing in size, new research shows.

A University of Auckland study examined changes in the geography of Tuvalu’s nine atolls and 101 reef islands between 1971 and 2014, using aerial photographs and satellite imagery.

It found eight of the atolls and almost three-quarters of the islands grew during the study period, lifting Tuvalu’s total land area by 2.9 percent, even though sea levels in the country rose at twice the global average.

Co-author Paul Kench said the research, published Friday in the journal Nature Communications, challenged the assumption that low-lying island nations would be swamped as the sea rose.

Climate change 307 million years ago gave rise to modern mammals

Written by Maggie O'Neill

Climate change that occurred 307 million years ago caused some species to perish and others to thrive, according to a new study.

The research, from the University of Birmingham, suggests some species of tetrapods – vertebrates that have four feet – were greatly affected by the onset of a less humid climate millions of years ago.

The change resulted in mass extinctions, but it caused some groups, among them the species that gave rise to modern mammals, to thrive and expand across the world, according to the new study.
