“In the future, maybe quantum mechanics will teach us something equally chilling about exactly how we exist from moment to moment of what we like to think of as time.” –Richard K. Morgan
If you want to know where something is, you just measure it to greater and greater accuracy. Rulers can give way to calipers, microscopes, and even individual particles of light of ever-shorter wavelength.

Reports, such as one indicating 2016 to be the hottest year on record, draw on the temperature anomalies from a dataset maintained by the Goddard Institute for Space Studies Surface Temperature Analysis (GISTEMP).

A team of researchers from Princeton University, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University of Maine and Oregon State University has drilled and retrieved a 2.7-million-year-old ice core from a spot in Antarctica. The team presented their findings at this year’s Goldschmidt Conference in Paris.

The American Geophysical Union (AGU) has lots of prizes; they are very fond of congratulating themselves.
One of these is the Climate Communication Prize, which is in recognition for the “communication of climate science”, including “clarity of message and efforts to foster respect and understanding of science-based values”. This was initially funded by Nature’s Own, a company which wrenches fossils and minerals from the earth to sell to tourists.

Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and Ohio State’s College of Engineering have developed a new technology, Tissue Nanotransfection (TNT), that can generate any cell type of interest for treatment within the patient’s own body.

An increasingly shrill climate alarmist crusade has told us that ‘carbon pollution’ is a great danger to our planet. To ‘prove’ their point they show images of black smoke. The inference being that carbon dioxide (CO2) is dirty and foul. It isn’t. Every breath we exhale is carbon dioxide. It is neither black and dirty nor dangerous to life. Co2 is pumped into greenhouses to promote healthy plant growth. In fact, the more CO2 we emit, the greener the earth becomes.

Last year, experts announced that the Arctic would be ice-free in 2017.
During the winter, they announced that the ice was melting at -30C, and had shrunk to a record low.
Cold air has set in over the Arctic, and there isn’t going to be much more melting this year. It looks like the area of ice in the Arctic will end up about the size of Texas, like it has been in all recent years.

A new study by an international team of astronomers reveals that four Earth-sized planets orbit the nearest sun-like star, tau Ceti, which is about 12 light years away and visible to the naked eye.

Many climate ‘scientists’ and believers in the man-made global warming scare story argue that the trace gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) is our climate’s thermostatic control knob. They want us to accept that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are currently at ‘dangerous levels.’ How wrong they are!

The green movement is a religion rife with corruption, bad science, and hysteria, and nuclear – not renewables – is the best solution to our energy needs.
