Punch-Drunk on Co2...Dizzy from Spin
Author: Peter Sullivan
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 148361431X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 531
Book Description
Prior to the 2009 Copenhagen climate conference, it became evident that no discernible global warming had occurred since 1998, despite a significant increase in carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, the catastrophic man-made global warming hypothesis of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was conveniently rebranded as climate change. This book allows readers, with little or no understanding of the issues behind the climate change debate, to obtain an appreciation as to why so much doubt and suspicion has been cast over the IPCC and its gold standard climate science (IPCC Fourth Assessment Report) often referred to as the settled science backed by a consensus of scientists. This book reveals that what the public has been led to believe about man-made global warming alarmism, and about the IPCC, often is misleading or just plain wrong, and that the IPCCs climate alarmism is not actually backed by science but rather by shonky predictions from unreliable computer models. It also makes it evident that man-made global warming alarmism has been driven largely by politics and environmentalism using any means possible to justify action to halt catastrophic man-made global warming (climate change) warming that has not, in fact, been happening. This book will leave the reader better informed about the IPCC and its climate alarmism, and about carbon dioxide, the temperature data, climate model predictions and misleading claims, as well as about the efforts of sceptics in revealing why the hypothesis of the IPCC, and its alarmist claims, are not valid.

Introduction To Earth Sciences: A Physics Approach (Second Edition)
Author: Luc Thomas Ikelle
Publisher: World Scientific
ISBN: 9811213046
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 877
Book Description
For more than seven decades, geophysicists have made significant contributions to the description of solid Earth and deep space, based on the physical properties; on the exploration and production of the resources deep in the ground; and on an understanding and mitigation of the hazards associated with the Earth's dynamics, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, hurricanes, droughts, etc. These types of events are so important that they directly affect where we live on the Earth's surface as well as the sources of food, energy resources, and minerals — and such events can affect our very survival. Yet, most universities still do not have a course focusing on an introduction to geophysics — the so-called 100-level geophysics course.All of the twelve chapters from the first edition have been improved and/or expanded. In addition to these improvements, six new chapters have been added in this second edition. The new chapters encompass: gravity, microgravity, earthquake cycle, heat variations in the subsurface, Earth's magnetic field, electricity storage, energy prices, and a more detailed description of our current understanding of Solar system and the applications of this understanding to life on Earth.This new edition can also be used in 100-level physics classes. The basic physics of matter is covered in detail along with some highly important problems and questions posed and addressed by modern physics and in Geophysics, which is actually a branch of physics.

The Cabal of Moloch and Saturn Cosmology

Publisher: David Klooz
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
This book is a short description of how Zionist zealots have planned and implemented messianic protocols since 3,000 BCE by writing a bible that stole creation myths from the Babylonian Enuma Elish and the Egyptian Book of the Dead and by stealing the sacred stones of the Egyptian Ark of the Great Pyramid under the leadership of Akhenaten (Moses) and fleeing to Palestine where they, once again, took over the land occupied by the Canaanites and called it Israel. Archeologic and genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptians, Mesopotamian, and Anatolian peoples in ancient times. Thus, Palestinian-Jewish rivalry is based solely on cultural and religious, but not in genetic differences. Does anyone really believe that the storm God El, then Baal, then combined with Yahweh wrote the bible and decided that Jews would be the chosen people. Since the Spring of 2020, when mandated Covid-19 vaccines began, excess deaths have increased dramatically across the globe to about 20%, while unknown causes of death have increased significantly. The numerous lockdowns (stay at home of the workforce), fear campaigns, COVID-19 policy mandates imposed on approximately 193 member states of the United Nations have also contributed to undermining and destabilizing the very fabric of civil society and its institutions including education, culture and the arts, social gatherings, sports, entertainment; all public sector activities including physical and social infrastructure, social services, law enforcement; all major private sector activities which characterize national, regional and local economies including small, medium and large corporate enterprises, family farms, industry, wholesale and retail trade, the urban services economy, transport companies, airlines, hotel chains; the structures of the global economy including international commodity trade, investment, import and export relations between countries, while the entire landscape of the global economy has been shattered. Each culture has a ‘Creation Myth’ that is contained in their own understanding of those cataclysm events that occurred between 10,500 BCE and 685 BCE. The West has primarily used the myth in the Judeo-Christian bible. However, you would think in the year 2020 people would understand that the bible is fiction and has significant reasons for concern, such as the following: the similarities of stories; obvious rehashing of numerous previous character; unavoidable contradictions; significant moral problems, including rape, murder and incest, and an abundance of nagging questions. Unless you are mindless, one can easily understand that a book like this can be used mainly for control, but in some hands it can be used to create a self-fulfilling prophecy. The Bible Is Really the Story of Creation of the Solar System. The Bible was initially stories that were written down and cobbled together and tales told verbally by their descendants over thousands of years that tried to explain the birth of the present Solar System, and what the survivors witnessed. It began in about 10,500 BCE and ended about 685 BCE. Millions of years ago, our Earth and was created by an expulsion of plasma from its brown dwarf star, now known as the Planet Saturn. Mars was also created from a plasma expulsion from the brown dwarf, when it came under electrical stress in the plasma Universe. Saturn, as a brown dwarf, with the Earth and Mars within its plasma glow mode, had an atmosphere of salt, hydrocarbons and water that misted down on both planets for millions or billions of years, providing its oceans and oil pockets. Brown dwarfs are known to be the best home for the development of life since the glow mode provides one warm temperature with no seasons and promotes growth under its ultraviolet and infrared atmosphere. It has recently been discovered that Saturn is the only planet with the same molecular type of water as Earth. Our Earth does not wobble around its pole, as is currently believed, every 25,920 years due to solar-lunar forces acting on the Earth. It was known long ago by the Ancients that the so called change in some stars ‘precessing’ against the sky was caused by the path of our sun and planets and other stars travelling and revolving around electric Birkeland Current filaments that circle around certain stars; the star Arcturus, the star Alcyone and the star Sirius. The revolution of our current Sun with Sirus occurs every 25,000 years, with the Arcturus filament stream every 550,000 years and with Alcyone, and the Pleiades star system, every 26-27 million years. This last cycle is important since it corresponds to the same 26-27 million year extinction cycle of our Earth. It is believed that Earth’s extinction level events occurred as the Saturnian System with Earth and Mars within its orbit crossed the position of our current Sun and its planets every 26-27 million years, resulting in the mass extinctions. The biology of Earth is such a complete accident, and so utterly unlikely that it will probably not have ever been duplicated anywhere, at anytime, among the billions of other star systems. But here on Earth, all of it, especially the rise of complex species since the Cambrian, 560 million years ago, can be attributed to a series of cataclysmic plasma strikes by Saturn, each of a very long duration: biologists claim 10,000 years for the extinction events. At about 10,500 BCE, the Earth, at that time a planet of the Sun, made an electric field contact with Saturn, causing 1500 years of darkness on Earth. The period of darkness is recognized by many of the world's creation myths and was recorded in the illustrated graphic books of Mesoamerica, references to which are made in the Colonial period documents. Climatologically, the period is identified today as the Younger Dryas, when for some 1500 years Earth got as cold as it had ever been. Over the next 7000 years the orbit of Earth, apparently equal to the orbit of Saturn at that time, but below Saturn, progressively moved laterally to have the Earth's orbital path eventually travel below the centre of Saturn. Thus, between 10,500 BCE and 3147 BCE, earth was part of a strange configuration of stacked planets, a condition which provided long summers and a mild climate in the northern hemisphere. Planets, dominated by the giant form of Saturn, stood above the north horizon and close to Earth but measured in millions of miles and were taken by humans to be the Gods who supported them and for whose benefit they labored at agriculture and conducted trade. In 4070 BCE, Saturn dropped its coma. This had been the ‘chaos before creation’, which had lasted some 7,000 years and had obscured Saturn and its companion satellites. Saturn went Nova, and switched to arc mode. In a mass expulsion Saturn produced its rings and a new satellite, Venus. Saturn lit up more brilliantly than the Sun. For humans of Earth, who had not clearly seen the real Sun for thousands of years because of the shadow of the Younger Dryas, followed by the obscurity of the enclosing plasmasphere of Saturn, this was the creation, the start of time, and the first showing of the land and its resident Gods, the satellites of Saturn. Saturn was universally called the Sun throughout the world at this time. In 3147 BCE, as Mars began the oscillate between Venus and Earth this configuration of standing planets became unstable and broke apart, with the three large planets moving away from the Sun, while Earth, Venus and Mars were released to their overlapping inner orbits. The breakup produced a stupendous flood waters, which had been held at the south polar region due to gravitational attraction of Saturn for some 7,000 years. The water held at the South Pole was due to the lifting up of the Earth’s crust in the Arctic, and the sinking toward the Earth’s interior in Antarctica. This was the end of the ‘Golden Age’. When the Solar System re-arrangent was complete it formed the basis of all religions, myths and mystery schools.

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
'This co-authored book explores how advances in cell biology, CRISPR gene editing and bioengineering might be used to make a live dragon. The result is a gloriously tongue-in-check scientific epic … How to Build a Dragon or Die Trying is deliberately flamboyant and outrageous. It’s also funny and smart. Far from a how-to guide for ne’er-do-wells to weaponize reptiles, it is designed to spark healthy curiosity in anyone who enjoys a ripping good science read.'NatureWhat if you could have your own real dragon? While that might seem like just a fantasy, today cutting-edge science has brought us to the point where it might really be possible. This book looks into the possibilities of making living, fire-breathing dragons. The world has been fascinated with dragons for thousands of years. Fictional dragons still have a firm place in pop culture, such as Smaug from The Hobbit as well as the dragons in Game of Thrones and in the How to Train Your Dragon movies. This new book discusses using powerful technologies such as CRISPR gene editing, stem cells, and bioengineering to make real dragons. It also goes through what useful information we can learn from animals such as Pteranodons and amazing present-day creatures in our quest to build actual dragons. The book goes on to discuss the possibility of building other mythical creatures such as unicorns and mermaids. Overall, How to Build A Dragon is also meant as a satirical look at cutting-edge science, and it pokes fun at science hype. Anyone who is interested in dragons or cutting-edge science will enjoy this book! It is written in a humorous, approachable way making science fun and easy to understand, including for young adults.The author is well-known scientist Paul Knoepfler who is familiar to the public for his science, his blog The Niche, and his frequent contributions to lay stories on new science concepts such as stem cells and CRISPR. He also is known for his TED talk on designer babies with more than 1.3 million views, and his two books — . The co-author, his daughter Julie Knoepfler, is a high school student interested in science and writing. She has her own blog on literary and film analysis, and enjoys taking a humorous look at culture through writing.
