The recent threats by Beijing to cut off American access to critical mineral imports has many Americans wondering why our politicians have allowed the United States to become so overly dependent on China for these valued resources in the first place.

Emergent Plate Climatology theory gets a boost from a new study from the University of California with a new paper titled, ‘Hydrothermal carbon release to the ocean and atmosphere from the
eastern equatorial Pacific during the last glacial termination.’ [1]

Achieving strength and extensibility at the same time has so far been a great challenge in material engineering: increasing strength has meant losing extensibility and vice versa. Now Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland researchers have succeeded in overcoming this challenge, inspired by nature.

Greenland’s ice sheet mass losses have significantly decelerated since 2013 – a reversal from the rapid retreat from the 1990s to 2012 driven by cloud forcing and the NAO (Ruan et al., 2019).

The post-2013 “relatively stable” ice sheet even gained mass during 2017-’18 (Andersen et al., 2019).

For decades, the solar industry benefited from generous federal, state, and local subsidies to increase its footprint. Yet these generous subsidies ignore the costs of disposal of solar panel waste.

Things may be changing. In May 2018, Michael Shellenberger, a Time Magazine “Hero of the Environment” and Green Book Award Winner, wrote in Forbes that the problem of solar panel disposal will explode with full force in two or three decades and wreck the environment because it is a huge amount of waste which is not easy to recycle.

Of the 102 current computer models used to predict what the climate will do in the future, 101 of them have what is known as ‘climate sensitivity’ far too high.

The previous CMIP5 models had sensitivity such that they were producing up to three times as much warming as is being observed.

Propertarianism has a brilliant solution for fixing academia and stopping what has happened with climate alarmism from ever occurring again…and so much more.

Joseph E Postma sent us this as recommended viewing.

Young people are writing to us expressing enormous anxiety triggered by the relentless climate alarmist propaganda in the media. As always, we offer reasoned scientific reassurance.

One example, (name withheld) has prompted us to post this article to rebuke the junk science claims, and to shame the idiotic purveyors of doom.

A newly discovered comet has excited the astronomical community this week because it appears to have originated from outside the solar system.

The object – designated C/2019 Q4 (Borisov) – was discovered on Aug. 30, 2019, by Gennady Borisov at the MARGO observatory in Nauchnij, Crimea.

Computer models of the climate are at the heart of calls to ban the cheap, reliable energy that powers our thriving economy and promotes healthier, longer lives.

For decades, these models have projected dramatic warming from small, fossil-fueled increases in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, with catastrophic consequences.

It’s amazing how quickly millions of minds left freezing or boiling in the dark focus on the importance of having power as and when it’s needed.

Wind and solar obsessed South Australians set the benchmark for blackouts and mass load shedding.

RALEIGH — A seven-month investigation and numerous public information requests have revealed the move to increase solar power might be leading to an increase in the very emissions alternative energy sources aim to reduce.

The idea that climate change is a negative thing, an unnatural thing, and an inevitably destructive thing predominates in our society.

Reader, will you let me take you on a “Back to the Future” trip, layman to layman? On one of the hottest issues of the day? It should let you sleep better at night. What if I can relieve you of ever again worrying about mankind causing “global warming”?

A team of researchers from the California Institute of Technology, the University of California and Maine Mineral & Gem Museum has found a mineral in a meteorite that does not form naturally on Earth.

Heavy materials for the absorption of gamma rays: In terms of radioprotection mitigate gamma rays is not enough: they have to be absorbed.

When the gamma disappears by interacting, it transmit its energy to other particles that will deposit this energy in the medium if they are charged.
