Back From The Dead?

Not me, of course. When people talk about bringing an extinct species back to life through our ever expanding abilities to clone DNA, a-la Jurassic Park, everyone always turns to one of the largest, and maybe most popular extinct species, the wooly mammoth. And I will fully admit, bring them back from the dead would [...]

The Science Of Fracking

Why the procedure is used.  Even if you are against the use of the practice, you should watch something like this to get a pure scientific explanation of why it’s done. Note: Start the YouTube vid, then follow this powerpoint, using the YT as audio. Share on Facebook

Climate Crisis – A New One!

Well….  Someone has done it now! They’ve leaked the IPCC AR5 onto the interwebs! The IPCC is SHOCKED and saddened this kind of thing could possibly happen!

NEIL ARMSTRONG, August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012

I am crying right now. He meant so much to this nation, so much to the world. There are so few people in this world who can say they were the very first to do something. Neil? Armstrong certainly could. So precious few have been able to bring the world together, if only for a [...]

Meanwhile, it seems to me that it is liberals who are [...]

Good-Bye No Child Left Behind????

Looks like it! Though the list is not very long, here’s another good thing the current administration can add to its accomplishments list. And yet another missed opportunity for the GOP. They should have been campaigning for this a long time ago Share on Facebook

If This Was Climate Science…

Particles that can go faster than the speed of light???? Nope. This is false. It goes against the scientific consensus. This goes against the model predictions. Sorry, but if you believe this, you are a special relativity denier! Signed: James Hansen and All Gore.   Note -  This is almost certainly a measurement error, but [...]
