SPOTLIGHT: The iconic magazine is now a purveyor of propaganda.
BIG PICTURE: On her PolarBearScience.com blog last week, zoologist Susan Crockford called our attention to a startling admission over at National Geographic. It acknowledges publishing fake news. Or, as it more delicately puts it, we “went too far in drawing a definitive connection between climate change and a particular starving polar bear.”
File this one under “why didn’t I think of that.” We at CO2isLife have made countless posts about how the ground measurements are corrupted beyond repair due to the Urban Heat Island Effect and atmospheric water vapor.
A government-funded study predicts rising sea levels will likely submerge over 4,000 miles of internet cables and more than 1,000 data centers in the next 15 years.
I read with interest the recent article in EOS, from the American Geophysical Union regarding efforts to sample the gas emissions of volcanoes via drones.
According to the scientific method, it is impossible to prove a theory is right. But climate alarmists ignore the scientific method and simply BELIEVE their theory is right. They don’t have time for any stinkin’ proof they are wrong.
Britain will face a future of intense heatwaves in summer – no wait – sorry. Britain will have cool, wet summers (or both, or any and all permutations). All thanks to man-made global warming science FRAUD.
Abstract: I will show that we have had not one but two correct and successful unified field equations for centuries.
Both Newton’s and Coulomb’s famous equations are unified field equations in disguise. This was not understood until I pulled them apart, showing what the constant is in each equation and how it works mechanically.
New York Times Magazine dedicated an entire issue to an article called “Losing Earth” that alleges humanity was on the cusp of stopping man-made global warming in the 1980s, but then didn’t.
Writer Nathaniel Rich narrative focuses around the failed efforts of “a handful of people, among them a hyperkinetic lobbyist and a guileless atmospheric physicist who, at great personal cost, tried to warn humanity of what was coming.”
A National Geographic photographer has admitted that the viral image of a polar bear suffering from climate change is fake news almost a year later. “We had lost control of the narrative,” admitted Cristina Mittermeier, the photographer of the polar bear.

Tiny crystals in meteorites were witness to the Sun’s unruly behavior in its earliest years.
The Sun sends a lot more than Sunshine and rainbows our way. High-energy particles capable of messing with the nuclei of atoms stream off our star constantly. Earth’s magnetic fields shield us from many of the harmful effects of this energetic particles shower but not every solar system object is as protected.
Our nearest galactic neighbor, the spiral Andromeda galaxy, seems to have a history of cannibalism. New research suggests that Andromeda gobbled up another large galaxy some two billion years ago.
On April 22, 2015, Katherine Hayhoe [pictured above] declared that permanent drought was the future for the Texas Panhandle and that part of the nation’s beef supply would get increasingly strained.
As the mainstream media screams loudly of the perils of the rise of the ‘alt-right’ and the dark new age of Trump, more sensible folk are independently fact checking this purported rise of racism.
While the European and north American press is unequivocal – anyone who speaks proudly in nationalistic terms should be immediately labelled a far-right racist – what do more scholarly folk say?
In earlier centuries, science had a positive influence on society in developing social awareness around objectivity and rationality.
It replaced the witchcraft and hocus pocus of charlatans with evaluation of objective evidence as the means of determining truth. But now, science is leading the pack for charlatanism and witchcraft, as junk science is acquiring a greater legitimacy than the charlatans ever had.
SPOTLIGHT: We’ll reach 55{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of our goal if we take one path, but only 1{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} if we take another.
BIG PICTURE: Research published in Science in 2015 attempts to identify the source of plastic pollution in the ocean. Twenty countries are listed. The United States appears at the bottom, in spot #20, responsible for one percent (0.9{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117}) of this problem.
