Terrifying New Data on Sea Level Rise
Terrifying to climate alarmists, that is. Sea level has been rising for the last 20,000 years, since the start of the blessed global warming that brought us into the light, warmth and buzzing with life bio-diversity of the current inter-glacial period. The most rapid increases in sea level occurred between fifteen and eight thousand years …
Socialism is as Socialism Does…
And what socialism does is kill people. Whether it is National Socialism killing off the Jews to usher in the millenial kingdom, the ideal society, the 1,000 year reich, or Stalinist, Maoist, or Venuzuelan socialism killing off the kulaks or bourgoisie to achieve the same end, socialism kills. Socialism fails because it does not understand …
Australian Federal Budget 2018
I am just back from a long day at work, and too tired to think in detail about the 2018 budget. But the Greens hate it, so that is an indication that at least some aspects of it are positive. These might include reducing the likelihood of “bracket creep” for low and middle income earners. …
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 …
All Israel Wants is to Live Peacefully Within its Borders
Time to end the false narrative of a right to return for millions of refugees who were never refugees at all. By Aviv Ezra at American Thinker: In November 1947 the United Nations voted to approve a partition plan that would have created a Jewish-majority state and an Arab-majority state in historic Palestine, and shared …
Doctors Remove 132 Pound Ovarian Tumour
A 132-pound ovarian tumor was removed from a 38-year-old Connecticut woman this year, according to two doctors involved in the case. 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 …
Chicago Gun Violence
“New reports reveal a deadly wave of gun violence in Chicago, with nearly forty people shot in three days. A 15-year old boy, a young mother, and even a four-year-old girl sitting on her porch have all been shot dead. These are just a few of the nearly 40 people who were gunned down in …
Saudi Arabia to Permit Churches
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad has agreed to allow Christians to build churches in Saudi Arabia. If this is accurate, it is a remarkable breakthrough. Muhammad said that no religions other than Islam should be permitted on the Arabian peninsula. There will be strong resistance from Islamic leaders to any suggestion Christians should be allowed to …
No, Orange Juice Does Not Cause Cancer
Scary headlines claiming orange juice causes cancer still float around the internet, even though the authors of a 2015 study themselves said their findings were not conclusive. “Grapefruit and orange juices are breakfast staples for many of us. But consuming these in large amounts may be putting us at higher risk of melanoma – the …
Trump Right on Korean Peace
South Korean President Moon Jae-in says President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for bringing about the new rapport between North and South Korea, and for getting North Korea to agree to dismantle its nuclear arms programme: “South Korean President Moon Jae-in thinks US President Donald Trump deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts …
My Gang
I finally found a gang I wouldn’t mind joining. Except I don’t think I am cool enough.
James Randi and Homeopathy
Need a dose of common-sense? Watch this. Even if you have seen it before, it is worth another look. Also, homeopathy is stupid. So is naturopathy. So is chiropractic. None of these have any basis in science or reality. None of them work. Don’t waste your money.
Vaccines, Anti-vaxxers and Faulty Reasoning
My chiropractor told me I don’t have the gene for autism, so it must have been caused by something else, probably vaccines. I blame hair conditioner. Widespread use of hair conditioner began in the seventies, shortly before the alarming rise in diagnoses of autism. Well, what do you expect, rubbing chemicals into your head? Even …
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 …
The City of Adelaide
In 1916 the ship the City of Adelaide was wrecked near Magnetic Island in Queensland. This is what remains now. Seems like an appropriate time for one of my favourite poems: Ozymandias by Percy Bysshe Shelley I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said — “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand …
