A new NASA study provides space-based evidence that Earth’s tropical regions were the cause of the largest annual increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration seen in at least 2,000 years. Scientists suspected the 2015-16 El Nino -- one of the largest on record -- was responsible, but...

It looks as though Alex Jones may be making a more direct contribution to dumbing down the masses than previously thought.

So, I think everyone pretty much knows that the .gov knows exactly who you are and what you are doing on the Internet but how would you like "just anyone" to be able to pay a fee and get a dump of all of your online activity and search history? It is coming. ...

Science says that our idea of Race is total BS... Now... Can we just get on with life without all the crazy racial divide? If we HAVE to judge someone, which we all do, we can just call it as we see it instead of using race as a factor or argument.

The police in Dubai are getting 'hoverbikes' derived from the technology developed for quadcopters. The 'bikes' are purely electric and will fly for 25 minutes on a charge. They have a top speed of 40 ish mph. While I realize weight savings is a real thing, having worked on rockets, but, damn, that looks scary. Like...
