Many people think that only astronauts have to worry about cosmic radiation. Not so. Ordinary air travelers are exposed to cosmic rays, too. On a typical flight over the continental USA, radiation dose rates in economy class are more than 40 times higher than on the ground below.

Dr. Brian Wansink recently resigned from his position as Columbia University professor, eating behavior researcher and director of the Cornell “food lab.” A faculty investigation found that he had misreported research data, failed to preserve data and results properly, and employed dubious statistical techniques.

The 2018 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded to a woman for the first time in 55 years.

Donna Strickland, from Canada, is only the third woman winner of the award, along with Marie Curie, who won in 1903, and Maria Goeppoert-Mayer, who was awarded the prize in 1963. Dr Strickland shares this year’s prize with Arthur Ashkin, from the US, and Gerard Mourou, from France.

More unbelievable guesswork in the linked article on gyroscopic wobble of the earth. This whole blame game starts with the premise that man is the cause of every change on earth, and it’s all bad. Now the pseudo-scientists go out to find evidence in support of their premise.

Lab experiments and observations of high-pressure minerals from a subduction zone suggest that when ocean crust sinks into the mantle through subduction, the carbonates and water react to form light hydrocarbons.

In an interview with the online German Augsburger Allgemeine (AA), former director of the the alarmist Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Prof. Hans-Joachim Schellnhuber, made some claims that have raised some eyebrows.

In order to avoid giving ‘false balance’ to the climate alarmists at the BBC, I thought it would be a good idea to fact-check their new internal guidance on climate change. This is their totalitarian memorandum aimed at stamping out free scientific discourse, on the basis that certain facts are established beyond dispute.

Ph.D. physicist Ralph B. Alexander has authored a new book: Science Under Attack: The Age of Unreason.

What Follows Is A Taste Of What Readers Can Expect From The Book. Ideal Present For The Upcoming Christmas Season.

At the beginning of every autumn, as we approach the peak of the hurricane season and the lowest Arctic sea-ice extent, we have to endure a deluge of media hysteria and doom-laden reports about climate change.

Oh, what a bore – I still hear the bleat ‘Tackling Climate Change’. These words climate change have become so threadbare that they are now utterly meaningless. Am I wrong? Is it clear to just about everybody except me? And have I missed something?

Two days ago, we had the coldest September 23 ever measured in the Netherlands. This year March 17 was also the coldest March 17 ever recorded in the Netherlands.

The national weather institute KNMI makes global warming propaganda by stating this 2018 summer was the hottest in the Netherlands in 300 years.

The BBC recently issued a document telling its journalists how to approach climate stories. That document treats the findings of a UN entity known as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as gospel.

Japan’s space agency (Jaxa) has released new images from the robot rovers it has deployed to the surface of an asteroid.

The photos reveal new details of the surface of the space rock, which is known as Ryugu. On 21 September, the rovers were released on to the surface by the “mothership”, Hayabusa 2. Hayabusa 2 reached Ryugu in June after a three-and-a-half-year journey.
