Isn’t modern science and technology wonderful? The UN has confirmed that official data indicates 2017 will be a record year for worldwide food production.
How deep can seawater penetrate through cracks and fissures into the seafloor? Using a new analysis method, an international team of researchers, led by the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research Kiel, has discovered that the water can penetrate more than 10 kilometres below the seabed.
Thanks to work at the IceCube instrument in Antarctica, we have learned that Earth has an appetite for high-energy neutrinos: they’re more likely to be “swallowed” by the planet in collisions with matter than those at lower energies.
There are more than a dozen versions of the IAT, each designed to evaluate unconscious social attitudes towards a particular characteristic, such as weight, age, gender, sexual orientation, or race. They work by measuring how quick you are to associate certain words with certain groups.
The famous greenhouse gas theory is missing from the most important and detailed US government climate report of all time. What gives? Have Donald Trump and the Russians rigged it?
American climate researcher and registered professional engineer, Nicholas Schroeder admits he is a ‘denier’ of the man-made global warming narrative. Like many highly-educated experts with a scientific background, he understands that mankind’s trivial carbon dioxide (CO2) contribution to earth’s atmosphere can have no measurable impact on climate change.
In short, the ‘science’ promoting catastrophic man-made global warming (image above) is a con job.
Everyone cherishes the night. For most of us it’s a time for contemplation, rest and recuperation from the day’s hectic activities. For others, a “day of work” starts at nightfall.
Consensus climate scientists have long been personal and damning in their criticism of those who don’t agree with them. They’ve threatened physical violence (Ben Santer: “Next time I see Pat Michaels at a scientific meeting, I’ll be tempted to beat the crap out of him. Very tempted.”).
Has bacteria from space been found on the station’s hull? Image Credit: NASA
Cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov has indicated that bacteria found on the space station could have come from space. While it is not unheard of to find microorganisms from Earth on the outside of the International Space Station, Shkaplerov, who will be returning to the orbital outpost in December, claims that scientists have collected samples of bacteria from the station’s hull that may have come from another world.

NASA has activated the iconic interstellar probe’s backup thrusters for the first time in 37 years. Launched in 1977, both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have traveled further from the Earth than any other man-made object in history and remain operational despite 40 years of traveling through space.

The incredible find has been teaching palaeontologists much about the lives of these ancient flying reptiles. Discovered in China and dating back 120 million years, the 215 prehistoric eggs, which were found inside a large block of fossilized sand, included 16 that still had embryos inside of them.
As an explanation of earth’s climate system, the greenhouse gas theory has dominated consensus science for 30 years. But yet another authoritative peer-reviewed study adds to a growing body of dissenting science. The truth may yet be that carbon dioxide is innocent. And in the man-made global warming debate, a ‘denier’ group nicknamed the ‘Slayers’ appear to have been right all along.
Scientists have concluded that the Great Barrier Reef can no longer be saved because it is so damaged. The plight of the reef is partly due to the “extraordinary rapidity” of climate change, according to experts. —The Daily Telegraph, 29 May 2017
Global warming has not accelerated temperature rise in the bulk atmosphere in more than two decades, according to a new study funded by the Department of Energy.
