Everybody loves the Apocalypse. The idea of the end of the world, the more imminent the better, has always had enthusiastic popular support.
For as long as we’ve enjoyed life on this delightful Earth there has been a morose and righteous sect of one sort or another telling us the lease was nearly up, the doomsday bailiff coming any minute now to shut things down forever.

In the first 9½ months of 2018, 368 scientific papers have been published that cast doubt on the position that man-made CO2 emissions function as the climate’s fundamental control knob…or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related “consensus” positions commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources.

In Avengers: Infinity War, the villain Thanos said: “If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist.”
Johns Hopkins University philosopher Travis N. Rieder apparently agrees as he views each new child as an environmental externality putting “irreparable stress on the planet” in a way that “exacerbates … the threat of catastrophic climate change.”
Similar ideas have been expressed by the likes of Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Gates.

Even though the latest UN IPCC report reveals that there is no evidence for increased severity of hurricanes, the fake news media relentless promotes the lie that storms are getting worse.
World-renowned skeptic climatologist Dr Tim Ball gives a no-nonsense radio interview to Canada’s CFRA radio host, Brian Lilley, to set the record straight.

So the very first sentence of the SR15 Summary for Policy Makers, after the Introduction, consists of a statement which is not well supported by the totality of the available scientific literature and which is at odds with the IPCC’s own findings in the AR5 Working Group 1 Report of just 5 years ago! Not a good start. —Climate Scepticism, 9 October 2018

Most commonly these days, the CCS acronym stands for: “Carbon Capture and Storage” – as you can surmise from the title above, I have a slightly different interpretation of “CCS.”
“Carbon” – whatever
Of course, all this nonsense of “Carbon” storage, etc. really refers to “carbon dioxide” and not to elemental carbon as in coal or diamonds, nor to carbon-containing fuels.

Neuroscientists have successfully hooked up a three-way brain connection to allow three people share their thoughts – and in this case, play a Tetris-style game. The team thinks this wild experiment could be scaled up to connect whole networks of people, and yes, it’s as weird as it sounds.

A new paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research documents “remarkably different” land temperatures from one instrumental dataset to another. In some regions, there is as much as a 0.8°C conflict in recorded temperature anomalies for CRU, NASA, BEST, and NOAA.

Assume for the sake of argument that everything environmentalists say about global warming is true. If that’s the case, then there is no chance of stopping it. That’s what’s the latest UN report on global warming clearly demonstrates.

Scientists proved it is possible to reduce the burden of damaged cells, termed senescent cells, and extend lifespan and improve health, even when treatment was initiated late in life.
The research is published in Nature Medicine involving University of Minnesota Medical School faculty Paul D. Robbins and Laura J. Niedernhofer and Mayo Clinic investigators James L. Kirkland and Tamara Tchkonia,
They now have shown that treatment of aged mice with the natural product Fisetin, found in many fruits and vegetables, also has significant positive effects on health and lifespan.

Vacuums make for good insulation because there are few collisions between molecules where heat can be transferred by conduction, which is a fast efficient way of transferring energy, and in gases it is primarily done by radiation, which is a slow inefficient means of transferring energy.

In its latest hysterical bulletin, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has urged that we need to spend $2.4 trillion a year between now and 2035 to avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences of ‘climate change.’

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change’s (IPCC) newly-released climate report, once again, found little to no evidence global warming caused many types of extreme weather events to increase.

First, a disclaimer: I am not a climate scientist. In fact, I am not a scientist of any kind. But I do have a degree in electrical engineering, which I mention only to point out that I am at least as qualified as the next non-scientist to form rational opinions about global warming claims.

Wind power is booming in the United States.
It’s expanded 35-fold since 2000 and now provides 8{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of the nation’s electricity. The US Department of Energy expects wind turbine capacity to more than quadruple again by 2050.
