The potentially Earth-like planets in the TRAPPIST-1 system may not be so conducive to life, after all, two new studies report.

An ancient underwater forest found south of Alabama’s Gulf Shores in the Gulf of Mexico could provide a time capsule to a pre-human era on Earth.

On June 25, 2017, Dr. Steven Chu’s keynote address to the attendees of the 2017 Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting was presented by his colleague, Dr. W. Moerner. The written text of the speech can be downloaded from the References at my book website (Keynote-Steven-Chu-LiNo17-25-June-2017.pdf, file size 107703 bytes).

A new study could upend nine decades of scientific consensus that life on Earth originated in the ocean, and not on land.

“What physical evidence supports the contention that carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels are the principal cause of global warming since 1970?”

Surrounding New Zealand is a mass of Earth’s crust about half the size of Australia, the continent Zealandia. What makes Zealandia different from other continents is that more than 90 percent of it is submerged. Increasingly detailed seafloor maps have attracted attention to Zealandia. Now scientists are asking: What secrets does it hold?

A team of particle physicists and mathematicians have confirmed all quantum mechanical particles move backwards — in the opposite direction of the force acting upon them. The phenomenon is called “backflow.”

Sex robots could soon be used to keep the elderly company in care homes and help couples enjoy long distances sexual relationships, the Foundation for Responsible Robotics (FRR) has said.

DMI has now issued the June sea ice data, which shows a steady recovery in extent since the low in 2010.

Six years ago, President Clinton’s science adviser, Joe Romm, announced the start of the Southwest Permanent Drought.

Climate alarmists predict global warming will increase human death rates, and nary a heat wave occurs but what they are quick to blame any concurrent excess deaths on the high temperatures associated with it.

The size and weight of a T. rex would have prevented it from moving faster than 20km/h (12mph), research suggests.

Some very “peculiar signals” have been noticed coming from a star just 11 light-years away, scientists in Puerto Rico said.

A new paper analyzing government temperature data says the Global Average Surface Temperature (GAST) data published by NASA and NOAA are “not a valid representation of reality.”  In fact, the three respected scientists who published the paper hint strongly that the data may have been fudged.

In Al Gore’s latest cinematic dose of climate scaremongering, a young Asian man is crying. “I feel so scared” he wails, before a vision of solicitous uncle Al patting his hand in an attempt to soothe away his fears of the apocalypse. Scaremongering is what Gore does best, and fear is the business model that has made him rich, though his every apocalyptic scenario has failed to materialize.

If the climate alarmists weren’t still so politically powerful and represented in Congress by their devoted cult members, it would almost be easy to pity them. Why? Because they’re so spectacularly wrong about so many things.
