It’s summer, temperatures are hot － sometimes record hot － and as usual, climate alarmism reaches record highs as climate activists have a field day with fearmongering rather than with facts and data.

The recent seismic activity in the state of California has taken a strange turn.  According to the Los Angeles Times, there have been more than 80,000 earthquakes in the state since July 4th, and most of those quakes were aftershocks of the two very large events that hit the Ridgecrest area early in the month.

Tony Heller has a new video debunking the latest propaganda from the journal Nature. In it, they claim that we haven’t experienced warming in the past 2,000 years like today’s ‘climate change.’

Scientists writing in Nature say, “they have found there is no evidence for “globally coherent warm and cold periods” over the past 2,000 years prior to industrialization.”

In this video I explain that the accepted debate between the deniers and the alarmists can be debunked by pointing out that the entire paradigm within which the debate is framed is founded on something so ridiculous and easy to refute that it ends up debunking both the main-stream skeptics and the climate alarmists together at the same time!

If you follow the subject of global warming alarm, you will have read many times that there is a “consensus” of “97% of climate scientists” on — well, on something.

I’ve actually never been able to find a precise statement of the proposition on which the 97% supposedly agree. But suppose you can find the statement.

International Journal of Environmental Sciences and Natural Resources publishes a new paper showing a significant and growing relationship between mid-ocean seismic activity and global temperatures (extended through 2018).

Professor Peter Boghossian has been punished by Portland State University for his role in creating a series of fake academic papers that were published in leftist academic journals.

From what has been published, you may be aware that I have a general disdain for academics and self proclaimed experts.

Not being religious, the best argument I can find for becoming so is the Biblical section on the seven deadly sins, which it places Pride as the number one no no. And don’t academics just ooze the stuff?!

A massive hole has formed in the upper atmosphere of the Sun, and our planet will align with that hole later this week.

Once the alignment happens, Earth will be bombarded by a “solar storm”, and nobody is quite sure yet how bad it will be.

Yet another major research study, five if you’re counting, has concluded that accelerated melting at the base of Greenland’s glacial ice sheet is from anomalously high geothermal heat.

May I ask you a question? If I lay a pile of dry sticks in preparation for a bonfire in my garden, and a bolt of lightning strikes those dry sticks, are the dry sticks responsible for the fire, or the bolt of lightning?  Clearly the agent is the lightning. Do we all agree?

A fossilized trilobite, an ancient type of arthropod: This specimen, from the Burgess Shale, preserves “soft parts” – the antennae and legs is from the Cambrian period when life exploded.

The quest to discover what drove one of the most important evolutionary events in the history of life on Earth has taken a new, fascinating twist.

In a recent turn towards the disturbing, a number of jurisdictions including Rhode Island have enacted laws that exclude working papers correspondence and other work product from freedom of information act requests.
