Prince William pushed a message of population control during a gala Thursday in London, England. The Daily Mail reports the British royal family has been advocating for population control during the past decade, claiming the world will face “monumental” problems if the human population continues to grow. The century-old claims about a depletion of resources and other dire circumstances resulting from the earth’s growing human population have not come true; but that has not stopped some of the world’s elite from continuing to push the message. Speaking during the Tusk gala Thursday, the Duke of Cambridge said the growing human...

A series of new studies on everything from errors in calculating sea temperatures to the earth’s ability to adapt in assimilating carbon dioxide has sent climate scientists scrambling to readjust their predictions concerning climate change. A group of scientists hailing from European research institutes are now suggesting that models used to estimate past ocean temperatures were based on an erroneous assumption, in a new study published in Nature. Since we have no actual measurements of historic ocean temperatures, scientists must rely on proxies to estimate them, which currently involves examining ocean fossils whose development varies according to factors such as...

Dr. Sebastian Gorka has a PhD, big vocabulary, huge knowledge base and even a British accent -- all the markers of an elitist establishment, if not leftist, thinker. But he seems to be in complete sync with his boss, President Trump. The BBC interviewer, with his fashionable three-day beard, open collar, and heavy ‘tude, probably was not expecting what he got when he led off his live shot interview from the White House lawn with a snarky dig at President Trump’s sanity.

Back in my less sophisticated days (shocking as it may seem, I wasn’t always the mature, statesmanlike figure I am today), I sometimes resorted to silly arguments when debating gun control, such as, “does this mean you want to ban knives since they also can be used to kill people?” Smarter opponents would scoff and accuse me of knocking down straw men, assuming a non-existent slippery slope, or engaging in reductio ad absurdum.I wasn’t even sure what the last one meant, but I secretly felt chagrined because I also thought the argument was nonsense. But it’s not like we had...

LONDON (Reuters) - Penis extensions are the top cosmetic surgery treatment for British men while women choose liposuction or breast enlargement, medics said on Monday. The Harley Medical Group, which runs 10 private clinics in Britain, released figures for 2002 which showed more than a third of operations on men were for penis extensions, followed by nose surgery and liposuction. Men made up 35 percent of the group's patients last year and their average age was between 22-37 years old. The group said more men were also getting non-surgical procedures such as botox or collagen injections and paying for treatments...
