Sea Level Specialist Discusses Maldives Islands

We had an island, where there was heavy erosion, everything was falling into the sea, trees and so on. But if you looked at what happened: The sand which disappeared there, if the sea level had gone up, that sand would have been placed higher, on top of the previous land. But it is being placed below the previous beach. We can see the previous beach, and it is 20-30 cm above the current beach. [...]

Recycling Carbon

The carbon cycle is the process in which carbon atoms are recycled over and over again on Earth. Carbon recycling takes place within Earth’s biosphere and between living things and the nonliving environment. Since a continual supply of carbon is essential for all living organisms, the carbon cycle is the name given to the different processes that move carbon from one to another. The complete cycle is made up of “sources” that put carbon back [...]

Dr. William Gray Deserves a Medal for Bravery

His rational voice has often been drowned out by the chanting and drums of the “consensus-scientists” who are on the global warming dole. But he continues to exhibit bravery above and beyond, when many of his colleagues have folded under [...]

Definition of Carbon Dioxide CO2

An excerpt from an article by Ray Evans “Nine Facts about Climate Change”
Carbon dioxide is necessary for all life on earth and increasing atmospheric concentrations are beneficial to plant growth, particularly in arid conditions.
Because the radiation properties of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are already saturated, increasing atmospheric concentrations beyond current levels will have no discernible effect on global temperatures.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless, non-toxic gas which is essential to all [...]
