Bears and bulls alike following Tesla’s gripping nailbiter of a story – the company has until the end of the month to pump out 5,000 Model 3 sedans a week – both agree on one thing: the output of the company’s new “tent” structure which Musk erected recently to produce Model 3 vehicles is going to decide whether or not the company hits its production goal that it has touted over the last couple of months.

Respected Indian nuclear scientist finally recognized for ground-breaking discovery after 235-U fission takes place in supernova.

Dr MA Padmanabha Rao is already known for his cutting-edge nuclear physics. His dedicated personal research uncovered unexpected new phenomenon in light emissions from X-ray sources, science that lies at the intersection of nuclear and X-ray physics and atomic spectroscopy.

The Washington Post has now picked up on how significant Dr Rao’s work is, especially in light of the extraordinary supernova recently spotted by astronomers in Hawaii.

It is widely being recognized the man-made global warming debate is in fact a three-sided argument between alarmists, lukewarmers and real skeptics. Here we test the weak scientific arguments of lukewarmers. This group claim to be skeptics yet persist in defending the now discredited greenhouse gas theory (which claims CO2 is the climate control knob).

On the 10th anniversary of NASA’s ice-free in 2018 forecast, Arctic sea ice volume is the highest since 2004.

A study has found electric vehicles manufactured by Tesla are no better for the environment than diesel or petrol-fueled cars.

A major new technology known as Gene Editing has gained significant attention in recent months. Its advocates claim it will revolutionize everything from agriculture production to disease treatment.

None other than Bill Gates has just come out in an article in the US foreign policy magazine Foreign Affairs in praise of the promise of gene editing. Yet a closer investigation suggests that all is not so ideal with Gene Editing. New peer reviewed studies suggest it could cause cancer.

As much of Germany’s nearly 30,000 strong fleet of wind turbines approach 20 or more years in age, the list of catastrophic collapses is growing more rapidly. The turbines are now being viewed by technical experts as “ticking time bombs”.

SPOTLIGHT: June 23rd was the 30th anniversary of James Hansen‘s historic climate testimony to a US Senate committee.

BIG PICTURE: Nine years after the 1988 event that triggered decades of climate change media coverage, the person who orchestrated the event was interviewed by PBS’s Frontline.

No, bees are not dying out. No, their populations are not being harmed by neonicotinoid pesticides. No, farmers are not wiping out all the wildflower meadows which allow insects to flourish.

But this is not something you ever hear about it in the media, obsessed as it is with the doom narrative fed to them by green activist bodies like Friends of the Earth.

Nearly all of the major news outlets last week ran attention-grabbing headlines uncritically reporting a supposed crisis of rapidly increasing melting of Antarctica.

According to the reporting, accelerated melting of the continent’s ice could raise sea level significantly and bring catastrophic coastal flooding to communities all over the world.

I live in SE Queensland. Yesterday the surface air temperature rose from a frosty 36ºF at sunrise to a balmy 72ºF in mid-afternoon. The enormous heat needed to achieve this 36º of warming came via radiation from the sun.

The current model of the atom is the nuclear model where almost all of the mass is contained in a central nucleus which is surrounded by clouds of electrons. This model of the atom was a results of experiments where the directing of subatomic particles showed most of the particles penetrating with a few reflected by the central mass.

The abysmal track record of computer models in simulating climate trends has increasingly been highlighted in the scientific literature.  Recently published papers indicate that in some cases climate models actually get it right zero percent of the time (Luo et al., 2018; Hanna et al., 2018), or that hydrological models are off by a factor of 8 and 4 of 5 simulate trends opposite to real-world observations (Scanlon et al., 2018). 

The number-one challenge of our times is to separate the wheat from the chaff.  To assist in this task, we are blessed with more information than ever before – but we are also simultaneously burdened with more misinformation than any prior generation has ever had to deal with.

Sustainable alarm, an unending hoax. Commentary at Germany’s ‘Die Welt’: Why has the climate-last-chance alarm been blaring 30 years long now? And why has the planet today “suddenly” just been given yet another 20 years by experts?

Since yesterday, scientists have said the sunspot appeared and grew astonishingly quickly.

The website Space Weather states: “Yesterday, sunspot AR2715 did not exist. Today, it sprawls across more than 60,000 km of solar surface with a primary dark core twice as wide as Earth.
