So it turns out there is an asteroid coming our way in 2029. No worries, though. There is practically zero chance that the asteroid will actually hit Earth. That should be comforting. The problem is, these things eventually come back around, and in 2036 …

If I told you that there are giant metal towers in the middle of the desert manipulating the weather to produce rain, then you would ask what science fiction novel was I currently reading. Or, you would wonder whether I had gotten sucked into one of those weird History Channel shows about alien technology. Nope. [...]
Pundits on television have been throwing around the number 97% recently. Specifically, they are claiming that 97% of active climate scientists agree that the earth has warmed since the beginning of the industrial period and that human action is chiefly responsible. Where in the world does this number come from?

Global warming alarmists have spent years blathering on about so-called models and data showing world temperatures rising and the catastrophic consequences. They are obviously full of crap for two reasons: (1) Have you looked outside? It’s snowing. In Myrtle Beach, SC. Blizzards up north. It’s cold. (2) Weren’t they talking about the coming Ice Age [...]

I’m a researcher by profession, so I can assure you that none of these [...]

My views on those that think the US government intentionally demolished the WTC complex should be very clear. I received an interesting comment today on one of my YouTube videos about thermal expansion: NIST claims thermal expansion caused the collapse of WTC7 by the fires? Is there anyway you could post a comment on whether [...]

It sure didn’t take long for the emails to start pouring in after I made this comment: I also get about 1-2 emails a week from people who have developed a “new paradigm”? in physics or believe their 5 second video of the collapse of the Twin Towers is proof that the US government planted [...]
