  • Debunking an Anti-Trump Meme

    There is a meme circulating from the left asserting that Donald J. Trump is autographing bibles. Maybe you've seen it. The text reads as follows: "When the man who embodies all 7 deadly sins-lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride-is signing bibles it means that it is time to reevaluate your religion" The image is tripartite, with Trump's autograph overlayed on the cover of a bible on the two left thirds, and Trump looking downward and an object much smaller than a bible. Maybe there is a FReeper who can locate and post an image, but for now I...
  • Why won’t a debunked conspiracy theory about doctors harmed by the COVID vaccine go away?

    ...To be clear, experts are united on the fact that this is a conspiracy theory. The causes of death were well documented by family in news stories and obituaries. It’s not clear when they were vaccinated, and, besides which, their symptoms do not match what we know about vaccine side effects from studies on millions of people. Millions of COVID vaccines have been administered in Canada, and billions around the world. Studies show the shot is overwhelmingly safe and effect, and serious side-effects exceedingly rare. So far, a coroner in Ontario included a blood clot related to vaccination in one...

    After debunking misinformation about COVID-19 and the 2020 presidential election results, Facebook will now be the arbiter of truth about climate change. The social network will begin flagging and debunking climate change myths.Facebook released a statement Thursday stating that the social media platform will "add informational labels to some posts on climate," and direct users to the Facebook Climate Science Information Center, a resource that provides "science-based news, approachable information and actionable resources from the world's leading climate change organizations." Previously, Facebook rolled out its Voting Information Center in August and the Coronavirus Information Center in March to combat news...
  • REPORT: Study Used by Dr. Fauci to Condemn Hydroxychloroquine Use Was Debunked! – But New England Journal of Medicine Will Not Publish This Lifesaving Update!

    div class="entry-content">Dr. Fauci recently used another reported study to debunk the use of hydroxychloroquine as a viable treatment to save the lives of individuals sick with the China coronavirus.

    RUSH: Dr. Drew Pinsky. This guy is so filled with common sense. I saw this, and I forgot. I was going to make a note to Cookie, send her the link and get this. She found it on her own. This is great. There's a syndicated program — I haven't heard it until now — called Daily Blast Live. When I first saw it, I thought it was Daily Beast Live. I thought, nah, Dr. Drew wouldn't be on Daily Beast Live. Daily Blast Live. The host was Sam Schacher, a woman, and she's got Dr. Drew Pinsky on there...
  • The entire “flat Earth conspiracy” is a hoax and the media is loving it

    What explains all of these flat Earth believer stories which keep popping up in the media? Bear with me here, because this may be a bit on the “meta” side as the kids like to say these days. I’m not talking about the phenomenon itself, where people supposedly claim that the planet is shaped like a pancake and the government, no doubt in league with Big Globe, is trying to bury the truth for some nefarious reason. The question I was pondering this week is why the media keeps paying so much attention to it. And I’ve got a theory...

    Google says no no no, and … they may well be telling the truth. SourceFed offered up a video j’accuse Thursday that got enough attention from Google to prompt a flat denial — although, as you’ll see, they should have outsourced the effort to industry experts. Matt Lieberman compares the auto-fill suggestions given by Yahoo and Bing search engines to those produced by Google for queries about Hillary Clinton, and sees a rather dramatic difference. Is this evidence that Google is cooking its responses to bolster Hillary Clinton’s presidential chances? Or did SourceFed cherry-pick the query types to get these...

    Nebraska Attitude ^ | 3-4-2012 | Shelly Dankert
    Andrew Breitbart's friends at PJ Media have posted a video celebrating Andrew's life. Hopefully this video will help those of you who find yourselves afflicted with the "conspiracy theory mentality" regarding Andrew's sudden and untimely death. You will actually have to watch the video, though. It is 20-minutes long. Some of you who are so "conspiracy-minded" may find this a challenge to sit through. As evidenced in the video below, his close friends are NOT surprised by his death. Why are you? Because you didn't know him? Because he was only 43-years-old? Because he was planning to release some potentially...
  • Utah delivers vote of no confidence for 'climate alarmists'

    The US's most Republican state passes bill disputing science of climate change, claiming emissions are 'essentially harmless' Carbon dioxide is "essentially harmless" to human beings and good for plants. So now will you stop worrying about global warming? Utah's House of Representatives apparently has at least. Officially the most Republican state in America, its political masters have adopted a resolution condemning "climate alarmists", and disputing any scientific basis for global warming. The measure, which passed by 56-17, has no legal force, though it was predictably claimed by climate change sceptics as a great victory in the wake of the controversy...
  • Amplification of Global Warming by Carbon-Cycle Feedback Significantly Less Than Thought

    Science Daily ^ | Jan. 28, 2010 | Unattributed
    A new estimate of the feedback between temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration has been derived from a comprehensive comparison of temperature and CO2 records spanning the past millennium. The result, which is based on more than 200,000 individual comparisons, implies that the amplification of current global warming by carbon-cycle feedback will be significantly less than recent work has suggested. Climate warming causes many changes in the global carbon cycle, with the net effect generally considered to be an increase in atmospheric CO2 with increasing temperature -- in other words, a positive feedback between temperature and CO2. Uncertainty in...
  • Controversial New Climate Change Data: Is Earth's Capacity To Absorb CO2 Much Greater Than Expected?

    Science Daily ^ | Nov. 11, 2009 | Unattributed
    New data show that the balance between the airborne and the absorbed fraction of carbon dioxide has stayed approximately constant since 1850, despite emissions of carbon dioxide having risen from about 2 billion tons a year in 1850 to 35 billion tons a year now. This suggests that terrestrial ecosystems and the oceans have a much greater capacity to absorb CO2 than had been previously expected. The results run contrary to a significant body of recent research which expects that the capacity of terrestrial ecosystems and the oceans to absorb CO2 should start to diminish as CO2 emissions increase, letting...

    National Oceanographic & Atmospheric Administration ^ | August 11, 2009 | NOAA Press Release
    A NOAA-led team of scientists has found that the apparent increase in the number of tropical storms and hurricanes since the late 19th and early 20th centuries is likely attributable to improvements in observational tools and analysis techniques that better detect short-lived storms. The new study, reported in the online edition of the American Meteorological Society’s peer-reviewed Journal of Climate, shows that short-lived tropical storms and hurricanes, defined as lasting two days or less, have increased from less than one per year to about five per year from 1878 to 2008. “The recent jump in the number of short-lived systems...

    Your local newspaper, as has mine, has likely carried Associated Press stories asserting that the notion of "death panels" has been debunked. Here is a fair-use quote from the lead paragraph of a front-page, above-the-fold, AP story, dated 15 Auguest, by AP writer Liz Sidoti: "he challenged the debunked notion" Google on this phrase or "debunked AND death panels". You will find a large number of media assertions, including some from the AP, simply asserting that the death panel notion has been debunked.

    Plastic Bags Evil? Think Again, Some Scientists Say Saturday , March 08, 2008 Scientists and environmentalists have attacked a global campaign to ban plastic bags that they say is based on flawed science and exaggerated claims. The widely stated accusation that the bags kill 100,000 animals and a million seabirds every year are false, experts have told The Times of London. They pose only a minimal threat to most marine species, including seals, whales, dolphins and seabirds. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced last month that he would force supermarkets to charge for the bags, saying that they were “one...

    Professor Shows Accuracy of Bible's Christmas Story, Debunks Popular Myths PITTSBURGH, Dec. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- We only have a vague idea of when Jesus Christ was born. Matthew made up the star's appearance. The dating of Christmas is an accommodation to a pagan feast. Hebrew prophesy doesn't say that a "virgin" would give birth. "Bunk!" That's how Dr. Jack Kinneer describes the above statements as popular myths assuming the implausibility of Biblical narrative about the birth of Jesus. Kinneer is a New Testament professor at the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary (RPTS) in Pittsburgh. [See http://www.rpts.edu] "What is implausible is...
