Concerns about the upcoming launch of 5G radio telecommunications technology has prompted a mass petition against the move on safety grounds by thousands of scientists and related professionals.

In a bold Big Green move, the UK government is requiring full electrification of ALL road vehicles by 2040.

Motoring organisations including the AA have expressed warnings and strong skepticism that to follow through on this plan would place too much strain on the National Grid.

The New York Times is pushing the theory that cold snaps are becoming more frequent because of global warming. However, many scientists disagree that global warming is making U.S. winters colder.

“Such claims make no sense and are inconsistent with observations and the best science,” said one scientist.

As the big German daily Die Zeit reports, the Intl. Monetary Fund (IMF) thinks that global growth will slow to 3.5% this year, down from 3.7% forecast a few months ago (https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/WEO/Issues/2019/01/11/weo-update-january-2019 ).

A standing stone circle in Scotland that was thought to be thousands of years old has been revealed to be merely a modern replica of such ancient formations.

Preface:  Elzevirs, the publisher of Galileo Galilei’s book, Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences, wrote a preface to the readers of this book.  In it one can read (as translated by Henry Crew and Alfonso de Salvio, 1914):  For, according to the common saying, sight can teach more and with greater certainty in a single day than can precept even though repeated a thousand times; or, as another says, intuitive knowledge keeps pace with accurate definition.

Recent discovery of a fundamental mistake in the physics of heat explained below suggests that greenhouse-warming theory may not only be mistaken, it may not even be physically possible.

Don’t you think we should re-evaluate the science before spending such large amounts of money on junk science?

“Heat is work, and work is heat” and “Heat, of itself, cannot pass from one body to a hotter body” are statements of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics.

In short, Earth cannot heat itself by it’s own radiation and the greenhouse gas theory is an abuse of the above scientific laws.

Significant levels of the weedkilling chemical glyphosate have been found in an array of popular breakfast cereals, oats and snack bars marketed to US and UK children, two new studies found.

In the US tests revealed glyphosate, the active ingredient in the popular weedkiller brand Roundup, present in all but two of the 45 oat-derived products that were sampled by the Environmental Working Group, a public health organization.

Is heat a substance? This is an extremely interesting question and one that all Skeptics should have up their sleeves.

New paper, presented for open public peer-review, examines the idea that the redshift observation which led to the Big Bang Theory may be an artefact of our Solar System location where gravity is at a low ebb.

Readers of this column will know all about the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) by now. The CFR’s influence in setting Washington’s foreign policy agenda was once derided as “conspiracy theory.”

But, as is often the case, that “conspiracy theory” is now a simple truism that is openly joked about by the conspirators themselves.What you may not know, however, is that the CFR is in fact a branch of a slightly older, slightly less-known organization: the Royal Institute of International Affairs.
