Exploring bleeding edge experiments, oddities, new and bizarre dicoveries, and fact-checking conspiracy theories since 2008. No question is out of bounds and no topic is too strange for a deep dive.

Amazingly, professional global warming and climate change denialists are not doing what they're doing out of the goodness of their hearts...
# oddities
Clean air, clean water, and sustainable, renewable energy are apparently just tools of the New World Order to enslave you and set up a planet-wide communist gulag.

Another year, another mandatory post about how global warming actually works and why a warm planet can still have snow and ice.

Releasing climate change modeling code to people who can't run it, don't understand it, and are paid to disagree with it and libel you a fraud doesn't do computer scientists any favors.
# space
The UN is musing about a giant sunshade to cool the planet by reflecting 1% of the light that reaches us. They really don't want to know the price tag...

Hyperventilating right wing conspiracy theories about climate science have inspired their less stable listeners to send a constant barrage of death threats and hate mail to climatologists.
