Peer-Review Scam


When you are selling a scam at some point the marks catch on!

” In the past 2 years, journals have been forced to retract
more than 110 papers in at least 6 instances
of peer-review rigging. What all these
cases had in common was that researchers
exploited vulnerabilities in the publishers’
computerized systems to dupe editors into
accepting manuscripts, often by doing their
own reviews.”

An amazing display of arrogance


Zero pollution means zero energy so maybe a little of the bad is OK!

Bob Greene's avatarJunkScience.com

EPA’s proposed ground level ozone standards are a combination of arrogance, lack of science and wishful thinking.

In theory one would say the civil discourse is preferred — but when politics enters the room its had to maintain ones cool!

The Ethanol Mandate Proves The Government Is A Poor Central Planner


When I took economics back in the day my instrutor told us that government was by its very nature incapable of not either creating a surplus or a shortage of what every they were trying to fix/manage. Examples are the great society created a surplus of poor and the FED created a surplus of money then the EPA has created a shortage of jobs and PC and multiculturalism created a shortage of freedom!

The federal government’s mandate to require Americans to use expensive, inefficient biofuels is so broken and dysfunctional it can’t even decide the ideal target amount of production.141121_EthanolBlog-385x200

On Friday, the Environmental Protection Agency again announced that it would not determine the amount of ethanol and biofuels required to be mixed into every American’s fuel tank for 2014 by the Energy Independence and Security Act. In 2005, Congress mandated that alternative fuels, primarily corn-based ethanol, progressively be added to gasoline and diesel and that the EPA annually adjust the targets originally set by Congress as needed. Now that 2014 is almost over, the EPA has failed again to clarify the standards. Friday’s non-decision should remind us again of some of the reasons why it’s high time Congress repeal what some have accurately labeled a “Soviet-style production quota system” for the nation’s fuel supply.

Obama to Introduce Sweeping New Controls on Ozone Emissions


There is no way to have zero pollution! A balance must be struck between no controls and controls that kill people becuase they have to energy. We have already crossed into the danger zone where the standard of living drops (lack of cheap energy) to a point that the economic system collapses.

The Obama administration is expected to release on Wednesday a contentious and long-delayed environmental regulation to curb emissions of ozone, a smog-causing pollutant linked to asthma, heart disease and premature death.

The sweeping regulation, which would aim at smog from power plants and factories across the country, particularly in the Midwest, would be the latest in a series of Environmental Protection Agency controls on air pollution that wafts from smokestacks and tailpipes. Such regulations, released under the authority of the Clean Air Act, have become a hallmark of President Obama’s administration.

Environmentalists and public health advocates have praised the E.P.A. rules as a powerful environmental legacy. Republicans, manufacturers and the fossil fuel industry have sharply criticized them as an example of costly government overreach.

The proposed regulation would lower the current threshold for ozone pollution from 75 parts per billion to a range of 65 to 70 parts per billion…

No, Australia’s ABC Media Isn’t Biased. Aren’t The Greens Just Preaching Revolution And Racial Division As The New Normal?

Australia’s ABC Media biased? Of course not.

ABC presenter Fran Kelly this morning interviews a US academic, Rosa Clemente, about the Ferguson riots, in which violent black mobs are destroying shops and cars because a jury cleared an innocent white policeman of having a case to answer of murdering a black thief.

In her unbiased way, Kelly allows the academic to make the following comments unchallenged.

– “the destruction of property to me is not a violent act”

– police are “an occupying force”

– black Americans have “grown up under occupation” by police

– blacks are “slaughtered in the streets” by police

– the riots in Ferguson, in which the mobs are looting, burning and shooting, are actually “organised struggle”.

Not once does Kelly question this defence of mindless mob violence, this race-based narrative, this vilification of police, this baseless…
