Antivaccination Hysteria – Dangerous Evangelising Ignorance
I have always regarded the anti-vax movement as either bafflingly stupid or deliberately malicious. Perhaps that is not entirely fair. Some parents genuinely believe their children suffered serious adverse effects as a consequence of being vaccinated. In vanishingly rare instances they may be right. And some anti-vax propaganda is glossy and convincing. I remember the …
Every Day in Every Way …
“Every day in every way, I am getting better and better” was the catch-phrase of Émile Coué, French psychologist and pharmacist, who believed people could be healed and their lives improved through the power of aut0-suggestion. His theories have long since fallen out of favour. But what is true is that every day, in almost …
Climate Change is a Moral Issue
Vain attempts to stop completely natural climate variation – aka global warming – kill millions of people in developing countries. 4.3 million people die every year from indoor pollution casued by burning wood and dung on open fires for cooking and heating. Yet greenies actively work to stop poorer nations developing the electricity supplies and …

The patient, who wished to remain anonymous, reported that the tumor began growing at a rate of about 10 pounds per week in November. A medical team, including 12 surgeons, removed it in a …
Changes in Climate Have Nothing to Do With Changes in Atmospheric CO2
CO2 is not a driver of climate. Climate changes constantly. There is no long-term correlation between rises in CO2 and subsequent rises in globally averaged temperatures. CO2 is vital for all life on earth. At levels below 300 ppm, plant growth and productivity begins to be severely impaired. Optimum levels for plant growth seems to …
Greenland Melting? Nope.
Greenland is melting, right? Sea levels are rising. Global warming is a disaster. It is all our fault. No, no, no, and no. Visit these two websites for more information: Watts Up With That NoTricksZone
Renewable Energy?
So called renewable energy is not renewable. When you take into account the cost of construction, installation, maintenance, transmission, and the need to keep real energy sources running constantly to make up for fluctuations in supply caused by the unreliability of wind and sunlight, any wind or solar installation has a net cost in energy. …
Atheism is Irrational
I have some friends who are atheists. They seem like normal intelligent people most of the time, so it baffles me that they can accept so bizarre and irrational a belief system. Of course, most of them would be thoroughly confused by that statement. “We’re not saying we believe in anything,” they might say. “We …

Proposed Jetty at Smith Bay on Kangaroo Island KI Plantation Timbers (KPT) is planning to build a deep water jetty at Smith Bay on the North coast of Kangaroo Island. This plan has been controversial, mainly because of the possible impact of changes in water quality on the abalone farm which occupies land adjacent to …
Winter is Coming
Global temperature tracks sunspot activity almost exactly. Number of sunspots now? Zero. Cold times are coming.
Science is a Creation of the Christian West
People seem not to realise that religious belief was essential to the development of science. 1. The belief that the world is real, objective, and largely independent of our perceptions, and not simply illusion (maya in Sanskrit). That is, that there is something real and enduring there to investigate. 2. The belief that the world …

Tonga, or Not So Tonga
Tonga pleads with the world: Global warming is real and is affecting us today. Save our pacific island 😢 Two different islands, neither in Tonga There’s only one problem: the picture shows two different islands, neither of which is in Tonga. The top photo is Kwajalein Island and the bottom photo is Ebeye Island. Although both in …
Chemical Free!
Isopropyl alcohol, H2O, sodium hydroxide, acetic acid, …. Nope, no chemicals there. Sometimes I wonder if people can really be that stupid. And then I think, yep, they obviously can!
The Wisdom of GK Chesterton
This triangle of truisms, of father, mother and child, cannot be destroyed; it can only destroy those civilisations which disregard it.
