Could anti-CO2 measures kill people?

The debate about anthropogenic (man-made or human-caused) global warming continues. But we need to be careful to avoid inflammatory statements, based on opinion or speculation, and stick to science and research-based facts. For some time now: speculation by allegedly credentialed people misrepresented as expertise.

If we can get over the hurdle of sticking to the facts, then we have to ask ourselves what the ramifications of certain approaches to the "problem" might be. Here is a two part article on the topic of how CO2 control measures may cause billions of human deaths...it is worth a read.

Part 1
Part2

A whole new level of cyber warfare has arrived...

Wow! I just kept reading and saying, "Wow!" as I read this article. It is amazing (and scary) what we can do with technology!

Is NASA cooking the books on climate data?

In a recent admission by NASA, some of the climate data used to promote the "man made global warming" hypothesis was fabricated. This is a sad day for scientific integrity. More info can be found here.

Artificial Gravity Possible???

To live in space we all know that we would do better with "gravity." Since we can't just "make gravity", we would have to simulate it (by spinning the space station). By adjusting the radius and speed of the station, you can make the simulated gravity be any value you want.

Until now, that is the only way to simulate gravity...but European scientists may have stumbled on to another way to "make gravity." Read more here...

When Science and Politics meet...it is ugly

So it is finally starting to come out that some of the man-made global climate change arguments were falsified for political reasons. This is sad, and a poignant reminder of the importance of unbiased and scientific thinking based on real research and real data...read more here.

It is a sad day when scientific truth is covered up in order that the ideologies of some may be promoted. Al Gore's record as a politician can stand on its own merits. However, as a scientist, he is not quite all there. Let's let the scientific data stand on it's own.

Plan B for climate change

It looks like "man made climate change" may actually be a reality...but not like you may have understood it. New debates have begun regarding techniques and technologies that might allow mankind to manipulate global climate patterns. It that is the case--and it is a BIG IF--then the debate about "global warming" may become a moot point!?! Click here for more info.

Theory of Everything???

You thought you had it bad trying to sort out trig functions and memorize properties of the periodic table? Well scientists have long been trying to find a "unifying theory" that brings together our understanding of quantum mechanics, general and special relativity, and all the theories that guide our understanding of the universe. Steven Hawking is one of the cutting edge scientists on this topic today. Perhaps you'll be the scientist who sorts it all out...
