By Angela Wheeler The only way to combat censorship is to shine a light on it whenever we see it. In censoring material that contradicts the popular – though increasingly feeble – fiction of a climate crisis, Facebook is quick to discount the credentials of one of the world’s leading scientists while honoring sources ofContinue reading “Facebook “Fact Checks” Prof. Will Happer”

Facebook Censorship due to a Science Feedback “Fact Check”
By Andy May Facebook’s censorship is totally out of hand, and their “independent and nonpartisan fact checks” are anything but. Now they are censoring “Climate: The Movie.” The supposed “fact checks” provided by Science Feedback and Climate Feedback (they are two branches of the same organization) have been shown many times to be both partisanContinue reading “Facebook Censorship due to a Science Feedback “Fact Check””

Can extreme heat make parts of the Earth too hot for humans?
By Andy May In another “How the hell did this paper pass peer-review?” incident we find yet another PNAS absurdity by Daniel Vecellio and colleagues (Link), that is described by a truly awful summary in Science Daily here. The paper tells us, correctly, that any wet-bulb temperature above 35°C is dangerous for humans. This particularContinue reading “Can extreme heat make parts of the Earth too hot for humans?”

Can Google Bard AI Lie?
By Jonathan Cohler, Andy May, and Willie Soon Here we ask the question, can AI lie? It seems so. AI (artificial intelligence), is based on neural networks. The theory of learning and adaptive neural networks was first developed in the 1940s, probably by Donald Hebb, a Canadian psychologist, who described a process of learning thatContinue reading “Can Google Bard AI Lie?”

A Conversation with Google Bard on the Consensus
By Andy May It turns out it is trivially easy to get Google’s AI product “Bard” to admit it is biased about climate change. Others, like Jonathan Cohler have managed to get “Bard” to admit it lied. I didn’t get that far, but I did get it to admit to bias. The last portion ofContinue reading “A Conversation with Google Bard on the Consensus”

A Twitter Debate on Clintel’s IPCC AR6 Critique
By Andy May In May 2023, Clintel published a book (see figure 1) criticizing AR6 (IPCC, 2021), a publication that was supposed to summarize climate science research to date. We found that AR6 was biased in its reporting of recent developments in climate science, and they ignored published research contrary to their narrative that humansContinue reading “A Twitter Debate on Clintel’s IPCC AR6 Critique”

Climate Feedback Fact Checks CO2 Coalition
By Andy May The Climate Feedback website critiques my CO2Coalition article “Attributing global warming to humans.” Their factcheck is here. Like most “fact checks” these days it is a thinly disguised opinion piece. The statement that they claim is incorrect is: “There is no evidence, other than models, that human CO2 emissions drive climate changeContinue reading “Climate Feedback Fact Checks CO2 Coalition”

Managing personal COVID risk
By Javier 1. My credentials I started my scientific career doing research on a virus in the early 80s. It was an interesting bacteriophage called phi29. A paper published in 1986 included my work with that virus. Afterwards I obtained my PhD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and proceeded to acquire, over the next fewContinue reading “Managing personal COVID risk”

False and misleading “fact check” about Connolly, et al., 2021
By Andy May Dr. Ronan Connolly and his co-authors respond to obvious false claims, in a supposed “fact check” about their latest paper on how solar variability may be affecting the climate. We applaud Dr. Ronan Connolly, Dr. Willie Soon, and Dr. Michael Connolly for rapidly and publicly calling out this fraudulent fact check. MisinformationContinue reading “False and misleading “fact check” about Connolly, et al., 2021”
