By promoting bio-fuel, the AGW promoters are actually increasing total CO2 pollution, and if the EC and Indonesia classify oil palm plantations as ‘forest’ as proposed, our governments [...]
Scientists Puzzled Over Global Cooling In Antarctica
Funny how the warmers seem to always ignore the South Pole.

The doubts of Christy and a number of [...]
Giant Ribbon Discovered at the Edge of the Solar System
October 15, 2009: For years, researchers have known that the solar system is surrounded by a vast bubble of magnetism. Called the “heliosphere,” it springs from the sun and extends far beyond the orbit of Pluto, providing a first line of defense against cosmic rays and interstellar clouds that try to enter our local space.
