The vast majority of hydropower dams in the Mekong Delta in Southeast Asia have a similar climate footprint as wind power, solar power, and other renewable power sources, scientists conclude in a newly published study in the peer-reviewed Environmental Research Letters.
The findings are particularly powerful because the Mekong Delta dams are likely to emit more methane than dams built and maintained in the United States and much of the rest of the world.

There are a number of different techniques and methods that the fake news media uses to attack and demonize those who are concerned with the harmful side effects of some vaccines. Some of these methods were outlined in a recent article published by The World Mercury Project titled “Journalists ‘Shots’ Sometimes Miss Their Mark.”

MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. (March 22, 2018) – Monitoring in real time what happens in and around our bodies can be invaluable in the context of health care or clinical studies, but not so easy to do.
That could soon change thanks to new, miniaturized sensors developed by researchers at the Tufts University School of Engineering that, when mounted directly on a tooth and communicating wirelessly with a mobile device, can transmit information on glucose, salt and alcohol intake.

Attempt to sue oil companies backfires as judge calls out their exaggerations and deceptions. ENVIRONMENTAL campaigners suing oil companies were left wounded yesterday when the first ever “climate change trial” left their exaggerations badly exposed under questioning from a curious judge who demanded evidence not allegations.

For the past decade, Greenpeace has publicly insisted that free speech* is not absolute. Rather than regarding it as a fundamental, non-negotiable pillar of democracy, Greenpeace treats free speech like a bit of wire to be twisted this way and that.
Intent on squelching climate dissent, a Greenpeace website says“there’s also a responsibility that goes with freedom of speech – which is based on honesty and transparency.”

In looking for causes, I have applied the ‘Sherlock Holmes procedure’ of eliminating one suspect after another. The procedure has left us without any good suspect. Thermal expansion was the candidate of choice at the time of the first IPCC review. The computed steric rise is too little, too late, and too linear.– Walter Munk

Physicist Stephen Hawking’s final paper attempted to unify gravity and quantum mechanics. But, sorry, that last paper doesn’t favour the so-called “multiverse”, though there’s some cool stuff in it if you ignore the headlines.
The late professor Hawking and colleague Belgian theoretical physicist Thomas Hertog first published this paper at arXiv in July last year, and posted an updated version on 4 March, 10 days before Hawking’s death.

Molecular hydrogen has been a leading candidate for ‘dark matter,’ at least within a galaxy, for 50 years or more, starting with conjectures by Varsavsky (1966), P. Marmet and Reber (1989), and L. Marmet (1995). Most recently (2012),

A US Federal Court finally recognizes that climate scientists do not measure properly. Honest mistakes are forgivable, some are plainly intended to commit science fraud.
An open California courtroom this week saw dodgy alarmist scientists properly exposed and taken to task by a US Federal judge – who just so happens to also be a trained engineer! (see: ‘California Court Shines Bright Light On Junk Climate Science‘

You may recall the above report by the BBC, which described how bad last year’s Atlantic hurricane season was, before commenting at the end:
A warmer world is bringing us a greater number of hurricanes and a greater risk of a hurricane becoming the most powerful category 5.

Only forty-some years ago, “climate science” suddenly turned from advancing a theory of global cooling to one of global warming.
A 123-page paper by Christopher Booker explains this sudden change in terms of a “groupthink” belief system formulated and perpetuated by a few strong personalities.

German scientists Dr. Sebastian Lüning (geology) and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt (chemistry) say a recent sea-level rise paper is “alarmist” and based on sloppy, “faulty” science.

If a train leaves New York going west at 60 mph, and a train leaves Chicago going east at 70 mph, how many microaggressions will the conductors commit before the trains collide?
Think this question can’t be answered by physics? Think again! According to Pomona College, racial bias and microaggressions are a necessary subject for physics coursework.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Scott Pruitt announces he will soon end his agency’s use of “secret science” to craft regulations.
“We need to make sure their data and methodology are published as part of the record,” Pruitt said in an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation. “Otherwise, it’s not transparent. It’s not objectively measured, and that’s important.”
