I never cease to be amazed at how blind well meaning science minded people are to the unintended consequences of the policies they are encouraged to champion. The big push in Global Warming political circles is to demand legislation to create carbon offset taxes... [More...]

I was reading an article on dinosaurs on one of my favorite science news web sites. In the reader’s comments section the usual war broke out between those who believe in God and those who believe in science. [More...]

As a researcher, I don’t accept “facts” as truth unless there is empirical evidence offered. That evidence needs to be proven as more than coincidence for me to accept it. Having spent my entire career in science, research, and technology and being a lay environmentalist, it might come across as contradictory for me to say that I believe that Al Gore’s global warming alarmism is, well, just that.

It has formerly been held that there is a 98% similarity between humans and chimps based on DNA comparisons. Many believe that more recent advances in science demonstrate an even closer relationship between man and chimp. To them and others who cite this number my advice is to throw away their old high school biology books! [More...]
