New study uncovers a jaw-dropping fact about water and natural gas "fracking" By Matt Badiali editor, Resource Report Wednesday, January 15, 2014 For every gallon of water used in fracking, Texas saves 33 gallons overall. You read that right… fracking saves water. Let me explain… That was the result of a recent University of Texas at Austin water use study. It's critical information because Texas is just coming out of a massive drought. In 2011, 98.2% of the state suffered from severe to exceptional drought. It was the hottest, driest year on record. The current drought is the second longest in Texas (back to 1899). And water is critical to Texas' ...

BOSTON (CBS) — A new proposal on climate change focuses on public health, energy, transportation and basic infrastructure. Under the plan unveiled Tuesday, $40 million will go to help cities and towns shore up the power supply and keep the lights on. Ten million will be earmarked for the coast, to protect it from rising sea-levels. But will it work? While the governor and others painted a dire picture of what global warming might do to us, others are more skeptical. MIT Professor Richard Lindzen is a leading international expert on climate change. “The changes that have occurred due to global warning are too small to account for,” he says. “It has nothing to do ...
Massive Die-Off of West Coast Sea Life Accelerates Locals say it’s far worse than what the national and international media are reporting

Oregon natives confirmed to Infowars Friday that strange anomalies have sprung up along the Pacific coast in what amounts to further testimony supporting the fact the media is suppressing both the surge in extremely high radiation readings along the West Coast and the subsequent die off of sea life in the area. Several residents in the Charleston fishing village described suspicious anomalies such as disintegrating bioluminescent jellyfish and Japanese “tsunami debris” washing ashore, with one lifetime resident even telling us he saw about a hundred dead starfish near the Bastendorff Beach County Park. Marine biologists had originally encountered “melting” starfish off ...

.357 Magnum Stopping Power

I grew up during the golden age of the wondernine. Every big PD in America was switching from wheelguns to Berettas and 3rd Gen S&W pistols. The gun rags of the era were filled with “9mm vs. 38" and “9mm vs. .357" articles. As is to be expected, most of the articles decried the downgrade in “stopping power” that the 9mm offered vs. the legendary .357 Magnum. The more sordid gun rags were filled with stories of bad guys going down after one hit from a .357 Magnum, reduced to a shower of gore by the powerful “man-stopper.” Probably the most legendary of the .357 Magnum rounds was the famous Remington 125 grain jacketed hollowpoint. Pushing an old ...

ScienceAlert...Earthquakes occur at boundaries between tectonic plates, and the largest quakes, such as the one that devastated Chile in 2010, only occur at subduction zones. The key to predicting mega-earthquakes, new research shows, is to understand which subduction zones are capable of generating earthquakes and which ones aren't. Image: ermess/ShutterstockA team of international researchers, led by Monash University’s Associate Professor Wouter Schellart, have developed a new global map of subduction zones, illustrating which ones are predicted to be capable of generating giant earthquakes and which ones are not. The new research, published in the journal Physics of the Earth ...

SienceDaily Jan. 7, 2014 — Practice alone doesn't make perfect, but learning can be optimized if you practice in the right way, according to new research based on online gaming data from more than 850,000 people. The research, led by psychological scientist Tom Stafford of the University of Sheffield (UK), suggests that the way you practice is just as important as how often you practice when it comes to learning quickly. The new findings are published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. Stafford and Michael Dewar from The New York Times Research and Development Lab analyzed data from 854,064 people playing an online game called ...
44 Reasons Why Evolution Is Just A Fairy Tale For Adults
Post Date: 2014-01-10 11:37:57 by christine

The theory of evolution is false. It is simply not true. Actually, it is just a fairy tale for adults based on ancient pagan religious philosophy that hundreds of millions of people around the world choose to believe with blind faith. When asked to produce evidence for the theory of evolution, most adults in the western world come up totally blank. When pressed, most people will mumble something about how “most scientists believe it” and how that is good enough for them. This kind of anti-intellectualism even runs rampant on our college campuses. If you doubt this, just go to a college campus some time and start asking students why they believe in evolution. Very few of them will ...

The largest EMP in the solar system EMP, power4patriots | 52 Comments Ever hear of the Carrington Event? Probably not. It occurred more than 150 years ago and its effects were minimal. But if anything like it happens again – and scientists are convinced it will – the effects could be devastating. Named after Richard Carrington, an astronomer who witnessed the incident, the Carrington Event was a super solar flare that shot directly toward the earth. Causing what we now know as an EMP, this solar storm produced a high intensity burst of electromagnetic energy that disrupted communications and shocked technicians when it shot through telegraph lines. Fortunately, there ...

Historic deep freeze across North America conclusively proves global warming is getting worse, right? Sunday, January 05, 2014 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Editor of NaturalNews.com (NaturalNews) Global warming is getting worse. It's so bad now that it has thrust most of North America into an historic deep freeze with plummeting temperatures that haven't been seen in decades. This is absolute proof that global warming is worsening, and the way I know that is because the same people who told me that record HOT temperature last summer were caused by global warming -- "See? It's really, really hot!" -- are now saying that record COLD temperatures are also caused ...

Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation has built 100 energy-efficient and eco-friendly houses in New Orleans to replace homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina. Unfortunately, the organization believes that some of the wood it used is now rotting, reports The New Orleans Advocate. The organization used TimberSIL, an innovative glass-infused wood product produced by a South Carolina manufacturer, to build porches and outside steps. The absence of chromated copper arsenate and other chemicals typically used to prevent rot and decay was a selling point for Make It Right.

Finding Climate Change By Absolute Rights Contributor on January 1, 2014 MV Akademik Schokalskiy By Vox Day There are some who doubt that God exists. They obviously haven't been paying much attention to the events at the South Pole, where the MV Akademik Schokalskiy was carrying a group of true believers in the gospel of Al Gore to document environmental changes there. For we now know beyond any shadow of a doubt that God not only exists, but has a rather puckish sense of humor. As it happens, the MV Akademik Schokalskiy will not reach its destination. The “climate scientists” on board are unable to reach the century-old base camp of Douglas Mawson and observe how the ...

rt...The Mars One project has announced the selection of 1,058 hopefuls from over 200,000 applicants to become potential “human ambassadors” on the Red Planet. Eventually, no more than 40 people will be selected to go Mars to never return. “We’re extremely appreciative and impressed with the sheer number of people who submitted their applications,” Mars One Co-Founder and CEO Bas Lansdorp said, putting an end to the second round of the application process. “However, the challenge with 200,000 applicants is separating those who we feel are physically and mentally adept to become human ambassadors on Mars from those who are obviously taking the mission much less ...
