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.

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.

(Natural News) May God bless the Tarsell family, who fought the U.S. government eight long years to validate a medical burden of proof that the Gardasil vaccine killed their daughter. The Tarsell’s 21-year-old daughter Christina Richelle “died from an arrhythmia induced by an autoimmune response” to Gardasil, an HPV vaccine that she received only days before her death.

Yet another peer-reviewed paper on CO2 climate sensitivity confirms a wider scientific shift towards zero. It follows a growing trend among international researchers in admitting carbon dioxide is NOT a climate driver. Over on WUWT (April 24, 2018) Anthony Watts gives his readers the scoop:
“New paper by Nic Lewis and Judith Curry suggests future warming would be a third to nearly half of what the IPCC claims.”

As Mazda and Infiniti have proved, there’s a lot of innovation left in the internal-combustion engine. One of the more wild concepts we’ve seen is called Reactivity Controlled Compression Ignition (RCCI), and it could just be the holy grail of internal combustion. Why? It uses gas and diesel to achieve incredible levels of efficiency.

Southwest Research Institute scientists posit a violent birth of the tiny Martian moons Phobos and Deimos, but on a much smaller scale than the giant impact thought to have resulted in the Earth-Moon system. Their work shows that an impact between proto-Mars and a dwarf-planet-sized object likely produced the two moons, as detailed in a paper published today in Science Advances.
