How the Climate Cult Wrecked Science

How the Climate Cult Wrecked Science

I was delighted, recently, to find the complete series of In Search Of… free on YouTube. For those who don’t remember, In Search Of… is a slice of classic ’70s weirdness, pre-New Age, with Leonard Nimoy totes seriously chasing every bit of fruitcakery, from the Loch Ness monster, to

Japan Has the Last Lunar Laugh

As I wrote recently, Japan’s SLIM (Smart Lander for Investigating Moon) probe somewhat embarrassingly landed upside-down. But, while it’s fun to have a bit of a giggle at a mishap in what is, after all, a very tricky business, we shouldn’t lose sight of what the Japanese

These are busy times for the Moon. Not since the Space Race has there been so much activity on and around Earth’s satellite. More interestingly, the new flurry of space activity is putting the Cold War paradigm of USA/Russia to bed: recent Moon probes have been sent by

Want Some Factor 100,000,000 Sunscreen?

Climate modeller Dr Nakamura Mototaka states that climate models are “useless junk” and “produce gravely misleading output”. One major reason for this is that they treat solar output as a constant – which we know perfectly well is simply absurd. The sun’s output is constantly fluctuating, often dramatically. Some scientists

The Clap Heard across the Atlantic

Anyone who thinks science is pure and incorruptible has clearly never studied the history of science. From Phrenology to Lysenkoism, Glacial Cosmology to Cold Fusion, science is littered with frauds and vicious ideologues. Certainly, the self-correcting nature of science means that they get weeded out – eventually – but the fact remains

All in the Mind, like It or Not

For all their blatherskite about “following the science!” the left are all-too-ready to throw science under the knee of Lysenko-like thugs, the instant scientific evidence points to a conclusion they don’t like. We saw this all too clearly during the pandemic. As scholar Wilfred Reilly elaborates in his book,

Are Bibles Better than COVID Vaccines?

Are Bibles Better than COVID Vaccines?

Would New Zealanders have been better off praying, rather than vaccinating, during Covid? Some recent studies might separately suggest so. Firstly, two Cambridge-led studies found that religious people coped with the pandemic — or, more correctly, with the draconian lockdown policies governments imposed in response better than secular people. Cambridge University-led
