Oxygen in our atmosphere at 21% allows animals like humans to be active – when we choose to be! Oxygen powers a vibrant biosphere comprising plants, fungi and animals throughout the sea, land and air, on a biochemical foundation of bacteria and microbes. Oxygen is almost synonymous with life – but we know it wasn’t […]

Christine Stabell-Benn is a senior and experienced researcher with a long track record of vaccine research at the University of Southern Denmark. Her interest sets her apart from other vaccine researchers. She asks the question: a vaccine might protect from a specific disease that it is designed for – fine. But what is the TOTAL […]

Reposted from NoTricksZone About 1,000 years ago (the Medieval Warm Period) Antarctica was still “substantially warmer than present” and the Southern Ocean waters were sufficiently ice-free that elephant seals could breed in the Ross Sea, or near the coast of south-central Antarctica’s Victoria Land. Today this region is so much colder and the sea ice […]

Godwin’s Law alert! This article makes substantial reference to the Third Reich Nazi period in German history. The purpose of this is not to make a facile denigration of any group or viewpoint. It intends no disrespect to Germans who are as far from the 1930’s Germany as chalk from cheese. It is instead a […]

There is an even more fundamental faith-based question underlying the whole climate issue. That is – “is it OK for the human race to exist on earth at all?” The science of ecology tells us that every one of the millions of living species on earth, change the earth in some way. The way all […]

These two papers indicate that in the last decade or so, formation of highly saline cold deep water formation around the margin of Antarctica has increased and strengthened. In the long term more cold deep water supply from Antarctica will result in a cooling effect on global climate. Antarctica is the biggest global source of […]

The universe is big – mind-bogglingly so. On its largest scales of billions of lightyears, it has a filamentous, labyrinthine structure that many have noticed bears a resemblance to biological structures, such as the network of neurons in an animal brain – see figure 1 below. This is more than idle speculation, peer reviewed scientific […]

Phil Salmon With COP26 in Glasgow concluding as I write, the global movement of CO2 climate warming alarm is at its zenith of political and popular influence. This ironclad edifice of dystopia however has feet of clay – it is based on a colossal scientific failure (1) – that goes beyond climate, encompassing the whole […]

There are “no substantial differences” in the protection offered by the UK’s two main COVID-19 vaccines, a new study suggests. https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-no-substantial-difference-in-protection-offered-by-pfizer-and-astrazeneca-vaccines-study-suggests-12439339 Many previous studies have been done across a range of population groups showing that the AstraZeneca vaccine was less effective than the jab made by Pfizer. However, the authors of the new study have […]

The East Pacific has been cooling for a couple of decades, it turns out. A “warming hole”, we have to call it. Persistent strong trade winds are part of the reason. Chinese researchers have also found that, in their words: “a persistent cooling in the eastern Pacific is directly linked to an eastward displacement of […]
