The California city that was home to 1960’s radicals declared a “climate emergency” on Tuesday evening, backing policies to “humanely stabilize” the human population.

Massive eruptions of Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano and Guatemala’s Fuego volcano have captivated the entire world in recent days, and now it looks like even more volcanoes are starting to wake up.

In fact, yellow alerts were just issued for Mexico’s Mt. Popocatepetl and Alaska’s Great Sitkin volcano.  Mt. Popocatepetl and Great Sitkin both sit along the “Ring of Fire” that roughly encircles the perimeter of the Pacific Ocean, and many are becoming concerned that we may be witnessing some sort of “chain reaction” as volcanoes all over the globe begin to exhibit signs of increased activity.

A new system devised by MIT engineers could provide a low-cost source of drinking water for parched cities around the world while also cutting power plant operating costs.

BEFORE NASA climate was completely captured by the radical environmental movement and grant-gleefully sold their soul to the widely debunked “97% of scientists believe that CO2 is the climate control knob” groupthink-consensus-virus, they knew perfectly well that the sun controlled Earth’s climate.

Study after study in top scientific journals finds that nuclear power plants are far and away the safest way to make reliable electricity. Why then are we so afraid of them?

After half-a-billion-million years of climate change, I’m shocked, shocked I tell you, that life on Earth (and specifically corals) have so many ways to cope with the climate changing.

After all, it’s natural (if you are trained by Greenpeace) to assume that corals can only survive in a world with one constant stable temperature just like they never had.

We’ve all heard of CERN and the strange mysterious things happening at the site of the largest machine in human history. But most folks don’t realize that the ice sheet in Antarctica is also being used as a large particle detector.

A private company in the United Kingdom says it has successfully tested its prototype nuclear fusion reactor at temperatures that are hotter than the Sun. The company hopes to use the nuclear fusion reactor to start supplying energy in 2030.

As ever-more peer-reviewed studies prove carbon dioxide is not our climate’s control knob a stubborn clique of ‘lukewarmers’ persist in defending the discredited greenhouse gas theory. Why?

Nobel Laureate, Ivar Giaever: In 2008 I participated on a panel at the Lindau meeting discussing “Global Warming” and to prepare, I looked into the subject using the internet. I found that the general belief is that the average surface temperature over the whole earth for a whole year has increased from ~288 oK to 288.8 oK in roughly 150 years, i.e. 0.3{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} and that it is due to increased CO2. If this is true, it means to me that the temperature has been amazingly stable.

One of the most difficult concepts for people to understand is that science doesn’t prove theories, science is the process that disproves theories.

SPOTLIGHT: Yesterday, I was supposed to feel guilty about my carbon footprint. Today it’s my plastic footprint.

In Grimm brothers’  world-famous mythical story about “Hänsel and Gretel” in the forest, their answer to the witch’s question about the strange sound she heard, was “Der Wind, der Wind, das himmlische Kind” (the wind, the wind, the heavenly child).

Environment: It has become an article of faith in the U.S. that recycling is a good thing. But evidence is piling up that recycling is a waste of time and money, and a bit of a fraud.

Antarctica is being pulled apart by an ancient rift system deep in Earth’s continental crust.
