See, made you look!! I know there are voices, including some here that deny that human activities are making a significant contribution to global warming. I also know that the oil industry in the US lobbies heavily against moves to curtail fossil fuel use. What I don't understand is that this...

Interesting. Ideas?

Does anyone have any information on this? A friend of mine received a paper which said global warming is caused by solar flares. IIRC, this is not true. It seems I remember reading a response on this forum explaining why, but doing a search on this topic on this forum is a daunting task.

The Global Consciousness Project has appeared in this section a couple of times. The idea of it is that there are a number of hardware random number generators (called ‘EGGS’ or ‘REGS’) around the world generating 200 binary numbers every second and these are fed back daily to a main...

According to the Nevada Department of Insurance, these clowns are trying to sell insurance, now. Read through this site. They also provide the text for an Army field manual. Spooky crew. Sounds like another Jim Jones, in its own way. Check 'em out here.

Two new studies conclude that even if humankind takes dramatic action now to curb global warming, the world will continue to heat up and sea levels will rise for centuries. The reports, in Science magazine, underscore the difficulties in dealing with a worldwide environmental issue...

GLOBAL warming will cause the bottom layers of Scotland’s deepest freshwater lochs to stagnate and rise in temperature, threatening their sensitive ecology, The Scotsman has learned. In particular the survival of the Arctic char, one of our least known and most endangered fish species, could...

I ran across this article and vaguely recalled GCP from a few years back. It looked like this would be the Forum to add this to even if it is in the realm of pseudo-science. Does anyone have any thoughts on the subject? http://www.rednova.com/news/display/?id=126649#

Greetings I am soliciting skeptical comments about this website. http://noosphere.princeton.edu/ Supposedly random number generators aren't random during periods of strong emotion or something. It says that events such as 9/11 have a physical and mesurable effect. It seems like science. I...

It sounds insignificant alongside the Indian Ocean tsunami, yet an almost imperceptible annual rise in the world's oceans may pose a huge threat to ports, coasts and islands by 2100. The leaders of 37 small island states are meeting in Mauritius to discuss an early warning system to protect...

Okay, I am among the first to say we need to cut the amount of pollutants we dump into our atmosphere, but so much of the "Global Warming" panic has nothing to do with what's really going on in this old world of ours. And now, we get this: UAE sees snow for first time ever Thu Dec 30,12:09...
