Vaccines are one of the most hotly debated topics today, and their defenders often ask those who voice concerns about vaccines to furnish evidence that they’re bad. While there is no shortage of studies showing the harm they cause, a recent incident reminds us that there is likely a lot more information out there about vaccine dangers that never sees the light of day.
A video that demonstrates that atmospheric temperatures on a planetary body such as earth can simply be explained by adiabatic pressure and the Ideal Gas laws. This is a well-made video, the explanations are clear (and include both visual and verbal components), the science is sound, and there are references.
Dubbed as a clean source of energy, new research findings are showing that home and property owners producing clean, CO2-electricity may, in fact, find themselves sitting on a pile of hazardous waste once the module lifetime expires.
Not only are the “adjustments” suspect, the temperature reconstructions are a complete and utter joke. Just look at the “Hockeystick” graph. The thing “doglegs” 2 times EXACTLY when the construction methodology changes.
Hailed as ‘the last piece of the puzzle’ in codifying our understanding of the mechanism(s) that cause climate changes, scientists are increasingly turning to Sun-modulated cosmic ray flux and cloud cover variations as the explanation for decadal- and centennial-scale global warming and cooling. In other words, climate changes are increasingly being attributed to natural variability, not anthropogenic activity.
No scientist has abused the court system like Michael Mann. Penn State’s controversial alarmist climate professor has not only politicized the science but has resorted to repeated court action to silence his critics.

Two nearby supernovae that exploded about 2.5 and eight million years ago could have resulted in a staggered depletion of Earth’s ozone layer, leading to a variety of repercussions for life on Earth.
Just on a month ago, Senator Simon Birmingham stopped by James Cook University for one of those visits education ministers either enjoy or don’t but must nevertheless endure: tea, biscuits, fine words and much handshaking with administrators and senior academics.
Two weeks ago, I discussed the unusually thick layers of pollen on cars due to the relative shortage of precipitation in my homeland.
Yesterday, most of Czechia saw intense rain and in Moravia, today is predicted to cover about 50% of the average precipitation for the whole month of May. (The figure 50% is changing rather wildly.) It’s been modestly raining for a week and at least additional four days are predicted.
In case you missed it — or missed the significance of it — polar bear specialist Mitch Taylor correctly pointed out in his recent essay (a response to the New York Timesarticle that appeared Tuesday (10 April) about the Harvey et al. (2018) BioScience paper) that the International Union for Conservation of Nature Polar Bear Specialist Group (IUCN PBSG) have given up using computer models of future sea ice extent based on rising CO2 levels supported by the IPCC.
“Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), chairman of the committee, entered into the record an opinion piece published in the Wall Street Journal yesterday that claimed sea levels are not rising because of climate change, a view that rejects thousands of scientific studies. The piece was written by Fred Singer, who is affiliated with the Heartland Institute in Chicago, Illinois, which promotes the rejection of mainstream climate science.” —Science Magazine
Is the U.S.-mandated Hepatitis B vaccine administered to newborn infants within 24 hours of birth the initial ‘impact’ vaccine for ‘programming’ a child’s unfortunate decline into the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
The sacking of Professor Peter Ridd by James Cook University (JCU) in Townsville, Australia is outrageous and will do irreparable harm to the international reputation of Australia’s universities according to the free market think tank, the Institute of Public Affairs.
Across the globe, genetically engineered (GE) crops face opposition from environmental and organic food activists, who claim the crops harm the environment and endanger human health. How factual are their claims? The evidence strongly supports GE over organic crops.
SPOTLIGHT: Peer-reviewed studies, published six months apart, produce wildly different estimates.
BIG PICTURE: In June 2014, the US Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) published a paper by a team of Spanish researchers. The PNAS website tells us it “strives to publish only the highest quality scientific research,” and that papers “undergo rigorous peer review” beforehand.
