A fresh look at wind turbine design. Betz’ Law implies that if a device could be added to a wind turbine which lowers back pressure, the wind mill would be able to extract more than 59{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of the available wind power.

Gerald Marsh, retired Argonne National Laboratories Physicist, challenges the usual assumption that ice age cycles are initiated by Milankovich Cycles and driven by the Arrhenius effect of carbon dioxide.

The question we put to lukewarmers is not so far removed from the question all skeptics pose to alarmists: ‘Are you intellectually lazy or intellectually ignorant?’

Last week CFACT’s Co-founder Craig Rucker posted a call to action, titled simply “Make dishwashers fast again.”

He explained it succinctly, saying: “If you brought home any new appliances recently, you no doubt noticed something strange. They look great but take forever to work. The Department of Energy is considering fixing this problem, specifically when it comes to dishwashers, and has asked for public comment.”

This is a simple experiment, inexpensive and easy to construct, to test if the force of a magnet decreases by approximately the cube of the distance from the magnet and the force between two magnets is equal to the product of the magnets divided by the square of the distance between them.

The problems with the force of gravity are that it doesn’t work in a manner similar to any other forces and there isn’t enough observable mass to explain reality without creating dark matter.

Fear of a catastrophic nuclear winter gripped much of the media and political establishments, much the way fear of global warming/climate change does today.

If you are under fifty years of age, you probably never heard of Nuclear Winter.  Even if you are older, you may not remember what it was all about.  Popular issues go up to a peak suddenly and then just fade away slowly, according to a 1972 paradigm by Anthony Downs.

It is helpful to update and evaluate temperature data occasionally. Accordingly, I have done so in the chart below, using data maintained by the Goddard Institute of Space Studies (part of NASA).

Radioactivity is where atoms with unstable nuclei emit particles forming more stable atoms.  An atom can emit neutron molecules and helium nuclei, or by dividing or emitting an electron, they can form more stable atoms of different elements.

There is plenty of scientific literature about toxicity levels of carbon dioxide (CO2). Despite media alarm we show how scientists have proven CO2 is not only safe, but an important benefit to life.

A group of scientists at the University of Rhode Island stumbled on something unexpected when analyzing data brought back from a 2014 expedition to western Antarctica.

In just the first six months of 2018,  254 scientific papers have been published that cast doubt on the position that anthropogenic CO2 emissions function as the climate’s fundamental control knob…or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related “consensus” positions commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources.

So a few degrees of atmospheric warming is supposed to melt it?? The coldest place on Earth is even colder than thought, a new study has found.

Researchers discovered tiny valleys near the top of Antarctica’s ice sheet reach temperatures of nearly minus 100 degrees Celsius (minus 148 degrees Fahrenheit) in the winter.

London 28 June: Explosive new report reveals that efforts to recycle plastic are a major cause of the marine litter problem. The report, written by public health expert Dr Mikko Paunio, sets out the case for incinerating waste rather than trying to recycle it.

Today’s topic: Sea level rise around Africa. There, the sea level is rising there like everywhere else. Already during the last warm phase, the Medieval Warm Period (WMP), sea level rose.

That makes sense because during the warm phases ice melts at the poles and high mountains glaciers. But what was the case during the Little Ice Age as the glaciers expanded?

The internet news is awash with doom-and-gloom articles about the climate. Scenarios predicting ever more frequent weather events, like hurricanes, droughts, catastrophic rainfalls, and more millions of migrants from impoverished countries (often termed “refugees”), or none of the above, are all blamed – squarely – on “climate change” supposedly caused by the 0.04{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.
