New ebook exposes so-called "greenhouse gases" as not the
cause of global warming. Author, Anthony Bright-Paul demonstrates how
science and the observable facts prove precisely the opposite - such
gases encourage our planet to cool.
m
Guided by years of private correspondence gleaned from eminent
scientists not invested in the cause of human-caused climate change,
Bright-Paul demonstrates for lay readers that such "greenhouse
gases" scatter, deflect and reflect the incoming solar radiation.
"This is not only obvious to scientists but also to any normal
sentient observant being," insists the author.
The book 'Climate for the Layman' thereby builds a seemingly
irrefutable case that the Sun warms the Earth and Oceans, and they in
turn warm the atmosphere from the bottom upwards.
The book argues that far from cutting down on Carbon Dioxide
(CO2) emissions, this gas, which every human being and member of the
animal kingdom exhales night and day, could (and should) naturally
increase from the current supposedly "dangerous" 350 parts per
million (ppm) to 1,000 ppm in order to make Earth a truly green
planet.
A veritable thumb in the eye to alarmist propaganda, this books
demonstrates that plants love Carbon Dioxide and produce Oxygen as a
by-product; an inescapable and well-known Biological fact.
As Bright-Paul and other informed skeptics (Natural News) are
telling us:
"Practically everything you have been told by the mainstream
scientific community and the media about the alleged detriments of
greenhouse gases, and particularly carbon dioxide, appears to be
false, according to new data compiled by NASA's Langley Research
Center. As it turns out, all those atmospheric greenhouse gases that
Al Gore and all the other global warming hoaxers have long claimed are
overheating and destroying our planet are actually cooling it, based
on the latest evidence."
This has long been the assessment of independent climate
analyst, Hans Schreuder and his associates. Schreuder, a key
figure in Principia Scientific International (PSI) has his essay, Greenhouse Gases cool the atmosphere made a central
feature in this book.
Bright-Paul espouses a core theme of Schreuder and PSI scientists
- that the atmosphere is warmed from the bottom upwards and the
principal heat exchange mechanism is conduction and convection (not
radiation, as per current climate science orthodoxy). This heat
exchange is taking place simultaneously over the whole surface of the
Planet. It warms and cools the atmosphere - everywhere and all at
once.
As respected Canadian Geophysicist, Norm Kalmanovitch,
explains:
"Virtually all the heat uptake of the atmosphere is from
conduction and latent heat transfer from water vapour condensing into
clouds with the majority of this coming from latent heat transfer. By
comparison gases like water vapour with a permanent dipole moment or
gases like CO2 which can have a dipole moment induced at wavelengths
resonant with particular internal molecular vibrations have the
capability of absorbing and re-emitting photons in random directions
but since this process only redirects energy without permanent
absorption there is no net transfer of energy to these molecules
and therefore no net heat uptake."
Scientific, Technical, and Medical (STM) publishing is big
business. It generates $19 billion in revenue per year, the majority
of which is earned by a few powerful publishers that enjoy profit
margins of up to 40 percent.
Inflated subscriptions sold to academic libraries keep them
moving ahead because the librarians feel they have no choice but to
buy. These companies add little value to the actual publishing product
but they are entrenched.
Inflated subscriptions sold to academic libraries keep them
moving ahead because the librarians feel they have no choice but to
buy. These companies add little value to the actual publishing product
but they are entrenched.Many forces are now at work to change the status quo which has
existed for more than 100 years.
The primitive publishing model employed by these publishers is
actually a detriment to science. Research paid for by taxpayers is
often restricted behind pay walls, major breakthroughs that could
potentially save lives languish in articles whose publication is
delayed for no reason. In some cases, published findings that have
passed a traditional peer review process are subsequently found to be
fraudulent.
Performed behind a smokescreen of anonymity, these publishers are
the master puppeteers pulling the strings of scientific research to no
one's benefit but their own. The issue is that science
publishing is not an esoteric academic silo with no impact on the
world. Scientific findings ultimately affect every human being on the
planet. Something has to change.
Until now, despite moving from paper to pixels, the publication
of scientific research had not harnessed the full potential of the
internet. Most journals still use a system that's rooted in the
pre-web era of print and its associated rhythms and rules. Although
solving some of these problems requires a significant cultural shift
in academia, many of them are solvable using existing technologies
that are already standard in other industries and in the culture of
the web at large.
America's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the
mainstream media and scientific journals are participating in what may
be the most heinous and far-reaching medical cover up of our
time.
The long running controversy over the role of vaccines in the
steadily expanding autism epidemic - which the CDC says affects 1in every 68 U.S. children - continues to
bubble to the surface. With the recent publication of a study revealing African-American
boys receiving their first MMR vaccine before 36 months of age are 3.4 times more likely to develop autism vs. after 36
months, and the confessions of William Thompson, a senior CDC scientist turned
whistleblower, who revealed that his own agency covered up the
autism-vaccine link in African-American boys over at least the past
decade, we may be witnessing the long suppressed emergence of the
truth about vaccine-induced brain damage.
But powerful forces are at play here, and only hours ago, it was was revealed that the journal that
published the highly concerning MMR/autism study
-- Translational Neurodegeneration -- removed it
suddenly from their website, with the following explanation:
"This article has been removed from the public domain
because of serious concerns about the validity of its conclusions. The
journal and publisher believe that its continued availability may not
be in the public interest. Definitive editorial action will be pending
further investigation."
One would assume stories of this magnitude -- with direct health
implications to millions of U.S. children -- would make national
headlines, or that there would at least be critical responses and/or
denials in major news outlets or by public and private health
organizations whose responsibility it is to respond to these concerns
and/or allegations. To the contrary, what we are witnessing is an
eerie and highly conspicuous silence surrounding Thompson's
revelations, who has been called a "medical Edward Snowden," in acknowledgment of how
devastating and unrecoverable these charges are to the CDC's
credibility, and by implication, it's entire ever-expanding
one-size-fits-all immunization schedule.
The Hindustan Times reports a new use for women's nail
polish: as an indicator for the chemical rohypnol, commonly known as
the "date rape drug." The idea, said to be an invention of four
students at North Carolina State University, is still in the
development stage.
Interestingly though, the news does not appear to have made it
into the common media outlets in North America. Perhaps they think
that "date rape" is not a problem on this continent
The Drug
Flunitrazepam or rohypnol, CAS number 1622-62-4, and its close
chemical relative alprazolam or xanax, CAS number 28981-97-7, are two
of many compounds in the family of benzodiazepines. First developed
over 50 years ago in Switzerland, both are psychotropic substances
controlled under applicable laws in many western countries.
Nevertheless, they appear to be readily available without much problem
to people who intend to use them in despicable and illegal ways such
as "date rape drugs."
Of course, the drug's relatively simple structures, shown below
for flunitrazepam, would enable any skilled chemist to prepare it in
short order. Presumably that's what makes the drugs widely available
on the black market. (Fig right. Chemical structure of
flunitrazepam). 
The Effect
The drugs cause strong amnesia and were used several decades ago
in hospitals when deep sedation was needed and they are still widely
used for the treatment of sleep and anxiety disorders.
Combined with alcohol their amnesic effect is even more
pronounced. Unfortunately, that also makes them so liked by people
with bad intentions.
The Idea
The idea of using finger nail polish laced with an indicator that
specifically detects these drugs is certainly elegant. Practically
speaking though, I doubt the idea will lead to fewer rapes. The
problem, as I see it is kinetics. In order to see an effect (such as,
for example, a change in color of the nail polish) specificity,
sensitivity, and reactivity to these drugs is required. Even if the
first two conditions can be met, the third one requires a fast
reaction that would not be available with a solid film of nail
polish.
The old-time daily "Silver Fix" of the London Metal Exchange
is gone. Established in 1897 to facilitate the exchange of metal
between buyers and sellers, it had received some bad press in recent
years. Hues of undue manipulations surfaced, rightly or wrongly and
the old-time system finally gave way to a new electronic system of
matching supply and demand.
Time will tell if the new system is any better or not. If it is
sound, the new method will be applied to other commodities as
well.
You may wonder though, why is the price of silver so
important?
Use of Silver
Historically the major silver use was mostly for jewelry and
coinage. Artisans like silver smiths created bowls, baskets, chalices,
cutlery and numerous other objects from silver. In medieval times many
guilds were established throughout Europe (including the UK) that
controlled standards of craftsmanship and material quality. Most such
items were not made from pure metal but an alloy with copper
containing 60-80% silver. They are preserved in museums, sought after
by collectors and still are common heirlooms in the western world like
the basket pictured below, made from 80% silver in Germany,
approximately 100 years ago. 
(Figure right. Silver basket with 800 hall-mark, probably
early 20th century; photo by author).
In modern times silver has found many industrial uses. The metal
and its alloys have a number of unique and desirable properties such
as superior electrical conductivity. That is important for electronic
devices like your TV or cell phone. Silver also has the highest
optical reflectivity and is the metal behind the glass in your
mirrors. During most of the 20th century, a large portion of
silver went into photographic films, a use that has declined with
modern electronic cameras. However there are many other industrial
uses for this element; even stainless steel solder is silver-based as
it readily binds with that material at a relatively low
temperature.
Silver amalgam, a mixture of silver and mercury is the most
widely used filler for dental cavities. When the components are
freshly mixed they form a paste that is easy to work with. It hardens
rapidly into hard and durable fillings. Dental amalgam has been a
major use of silver metal for many decades; some records indicate its
use well over a thousand years ago in China.
William Thompson, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) whistleblower, has yet to step into the light and make a
full and definitive statement about the CDC concealing MMR-vaccine
dangers.
Mothers of autistic children are now preparing a class-action
suit against the CDC for covering up the MMR vaccine-autism
connection. They will undoubtedly want Thompson as a witness.
He can talk now or talk later.
The public at large still has blind faith in "medical experts"
and the truth of published studies.
Fraud at the CDC? A study that was intentionally distorted to
give a pass to a toxic and highly dangerous vaccine? What? How could
that be?
Well, here's a medical expert. For 20 years, she had a
front-row seat that very few doctors or researchers ever occupy.
Thousands of medical studies arrived at her desk. She was a "queen
of judgment."
She is Dr. Marcia Angell. She was the editor of the most
prestigious medical journal in the world, The New England Journal
of Medicine.
On January 15, 2009, the NY Review of Books published Dr.
Angell's devastating assessment of medical literature:
"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the
clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of
trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no
pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly
over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of
Medicine." -(Marcia Angell, MD, "Drug Companies and
Doctors: A story of Corruption." NY Review of Books, Jan. 15,
2009.)
The failed hypothesis of dangerous man-made global warming is
already discredited not only by the so-called "pause" in the
rise of global temperatures. But it is also untenable because the very
concept of a global climate is bogus to begin with, according to
respected analyst Dr Vincent Gray.
The Free Dictionary says:
"CLIMATE The meteorological conditions, including temperature, precipitation, and wind, that characteristically prevail in
a particular region."
Dictionary com says:
"the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, airpressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year,averaged over a series of years."
The Oxford English dictionary has:
"The weather conditions prevailing in an area in general
or over a long period."
The common feature of all these definitions is
that CLIMATE is
essentially local and is confined to a
particular region or area.
