What is human progress? Is it happening? Can it continue? These are some of the questions that Steven Pinker, Harvard University Professor and Human Progress Board Member, answers in his new book Enlightenment Now: The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress.

In this dark age of politicized post-normal (secret) science so many have forgotten what separates science from religion and politics. Ultimately, science is not about what anyone believes. Science
is about invention and definition of true concepts.  Below we provide a most useful short reference work – a free pdf – compiled by physicist, Dag Flølo as a helpful guide.

Time to get back to basics and proper scientific definitions. In matters of global temperature change first we should address the Geophysics and then Climatology in that order!

Geophysics is the scientific discipline under which the processes that control global temperature fall. Climatology is the scientific discipline under which the study of global temperature changes falls.

(H/T: Robert Chondon): Quakewatch.net is acquiring a reputation in the study of pre-seismic signals, and the practice of earthquake forecasting. The Earthquake Prediction Center at QuakeWatch.net is a division of SpaceWeatherNews and is supported by the collective of more than 300,000 “Suspicious0bservers”.

An analysis of the rural-sited Japanese weather stations used by the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) shows there’s been no warming at all over the past two decades or more.

Strangely many of these stations, which are practically unimpacted by data-corruptive urban sprawl, are no longer used by NASA.

Earth is a blue watery planet. 70{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of its surface is covered by oceans of salt water, some of which are extremely deep. These oceans contain about 97{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of Earth’s water. Another 2{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} is locked up in snow, ice caps and glaciers.

That leaves just 1{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of Earth’s surface water in inland seas, lakes, rivers and dams. We have plenty of water, but not much to drink.

This is something that I have thought about for many, many years on this issue.  I never said a word about it at all because at the time, in the thick of it in the now-won argument over the non-existence of the radiative greenhouse effect of climate alarm, it would have just increased the parameter space way too much.

It allowed for more of the side-distraction sophistry that the disgusting idiot climate alarmist sophist freaks just love for generating their cross-bred weeds of distortion.

In his posthumously published book “Factfulness,” the Swedish statistician Hans Rosling describes a paradox: “The image of a dangerous world has never been broadcast more effectively than it is now, while the world has never been less violent and more safe.”

Scientists have found that our big toe was one of the last parts of the foot to evolve, a study suggests.

As our early ancestors began to walk on two legs, they would also have hung about in trees, using their feet to grasp branches.

The U.S. is being invaded by armies of a species of East Asian tick that spawns without mating. The Eastern Seaboard of the U.S. has been particularly impacted.

Somehow, the tick landed here from Eastern Asia and, to listen to the media, one would think it should be called The Terminator for its horrifying description.

Michael Janitch (from St. Louis Missouri) is an independent scientist who has been researching / teaching topics related to geophysics. He also claims he can predict earthquakes.

Janitch, also known online as ‘Dutchsinse’ has been humorously described as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ by some due to the controversial nature of the subject matter,

Alarmists have been raising fears that increased warm water in the Antarctic is reaching a ‘crisis.’ However, NASA pours cold water on the claim reporting Antarctica’s sea ice just hit a record HIGH.

Unwarranted panic about overpopulation is a big problem that has led to human rights abuses and much pointless suffering.

The housing industry is like a roller coaster. The housing crash left houses empty and people homeless. Some neighborhoods are still littered with empty and decaying homes, some having stood empty going on 10 years now.
