Around the world, countries are claiming obscure and difficult-to-reach tracts of the deep-sea floor, far from the surface and further still from land. Why?
Why are countries laying claim to the deep-sea floor?

As heat waves move across the U.S. from the northeast to the southwest and in much of western Europe, climate alarmists are responding predictably by blaming hot temperatures not on true meteorological causes but on the nebulous bogeyman of “climate change.”

Albert Einstein is perhaps most famous for introducing the world to the equation E=mc2. In essence, he discovered that energy and mass are interchangeable, setting the stage for nuclear power—and atomic weapons. His part in the drama of nuclear war may have ended there if not for a simple refrigerator.

Coral reef bleaching may be easing after three years of high ocean temperatures, the longest such period since the 1980s, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Monday.

By combining the power of a “natural lens” in space with the capability of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers made a surprising discovery—the first example of a compact yet massive, fast-spinning, disk-shaped galaxy that stopped making stars only a few billion years after the big bang.

It takes up to 24 minutes for a signal to travel between Earth and Mars. If you’re a Mars rover wondering which rock to drill into, that means waiting at least 48 minutes to send images of your new location to NASA and then receive marching orders. It’s a lot of idle time for a robot that cost $2.6 billion to build.

This week in 1988, with CO2 just below 350 PPM, the US blew away all records for heat, and NASA’s James Hansen told Congress that heat waves were due to human emissions of CO2.

Dark matter accounts for up to 85{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of the matter in the universe – but does not emit radiation (such as light), interacting with ordinary matter only via gravity.
Lisa Randall, the author of Dark Matter and the Dinosaurs, believes the dinosaurs may have been wiped out when Earth passed through the dark matter in the Milky Way’s disc.

For the first time in almost a century the United States is preparing for a coast-to-coast solar eclipse, a rare celestial event millions of Americans, with caution, will be able to observe.

As wind farms statewide are killing more Hawaiian hoary bats than expected, a Maui wind farm is asking the state to increase the number of endangered bats and nenes it’s allowed to incidentally kill.

So, I was told by some deranged goblin that “you’re misrepresenting the science” of climate alarm and the greenhouse effect when I say that it teaches and is based on flat Earth physics. This was right after their looking at the diagrams which derive the radiative greenhouse effect upon which climate alarm is based. For example:
So you see…the problem isn’t with the derivation of the radiative greenhouse effect, the problem is that I’m saying that it is flat Earth physics “which is a misrepresentation.”

Ocean circulation patterns have a profound effect on global climate. Waves deep within the ocean play an important role in establishing this circulation, arising when tidal currents oscillate over an uneven ocean bottom. The internal waves that are generated by this process stir and mix the ocean, bringing cold, deep water to the surface to be warmed by the sun.

A pair of researchers with the Natural History Museum of London and the University of Waikato have found that bacteria living in a part of Antarctica have not changed much over the past century.
