Recently, a study came out by Wormser et al. on the efficacy of a 14-day course of amoxicillin for patients with erythema migrans (EM). The study purports to be the first clinical study in the U.S. that validates this regimen but states foreign studies have already done so (1).

‘The whole aim of practical politics,’ wrote H.L. Mencken, ‘is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.’
Newspapers, politicians, and pressure groups have been moving smoothly for decades from one forecast apocalypse to another (nuclear power, acid rain, the ozone layer, mad cow disease, nanotechnology, genetically modified crops, the millennium bug…) without waiting to be proved right or wrong.

A new paper in Nature Climate Change by Santer et al.(paywalled) claims that the 40-year record of global tropospheric temperatures agrees with climate model simulations of anthropogenic global warming so well that there is less than a 1 in 3.5 million chance (5 sigma, one-tailed test) that the agreement between models and satellites is just by chance.

This is a follow-up to my recent post on “5G Wireless Broadband and how (not) to Boil Eggs.”
As I had tried to point out, there is a one-plus order of magnitude difference in the photon (electromagnetic wave, EM) energy between the current 4G communication (4G) and the proposed 5G systems (5G).

Cosmic rays in the stratosphere are intensifying for the 4th year in a row. This finding comes from a campaign of almost weekly high-altitude balloon launches conducted by the students of Earth to Sky Calculus.

Here is what to do when the title is a lie. Confirm it also lies within the text. Confirm the lies in a historical and political context. Expose the lies and the people responsible.

Following from my last post on the purpose of climate alarm, a commentator added this extremely important summary of the history and mechanics of the alarmist campaign:

The media loves disaster stories – floods, cyclones, heat waves, droughts and fires – each one “the worst Evaaaah” (evaah since the last one). Each report of catastrophe is usually followed by a religious chant about “man-made global warming”.

We must understand that what climate alarmism and climate “policy” is is a very cleverly crafted mental virus vector to hijack Meritocracy and other forms of political rationalism such as Propertarianism.

In about the time it takes to bake a tray of cookies, watch a show on Netflix, or be the shortest reigning King of France, an average Russian hacker can infiltrate a computer network.

Times have changed: where once many scientists worried that polar bears could not survive the Arctic with 40% less ice, now the concern is that people of the Arctic might not be able to keep themselves safe from growing numbers of increasingly fearless bears.

In recent years, the public has gradually discovered that there is a crisis in science. But what is the problem? And how bad is it, really?
New Corbett Report video shines a spotlight on the series of interrelated crises that are exposing the way institutional science is practiced today, and what it means for an increasingly science-dependent society.

This article comes from a discussion of an article on black holes published in PSI.
It was clear from that discussion that some did not understand the consequences of a constant speed of light, relativity, time dilation, or special relativity.
