The panel of experts, which formed in January to look into allegations of research misconduct, found that Tessier-Lavigne did not personally engage in any fraud or manipulation of research data, nor did he have any knowledge of the malpractice going on in the lab. Still, the report found that on various occasions, when concerns about his papers emerged, Tessier-Lavigne “failed to decisively and forthrightly correct mistakes in the scientific record.”...

Ten months into the COVID-19 experimental mass vaccination campaign with hundreds of millions of people worldwide now having been injected with what many dissenting doctors and scientists are referring to as a “bioweapon,” the patterns are becoming horrifyingly obvious to anyone who is not mesmerized by the 24/7 propaganda coming out of the pharma-owned corporate media. Deaths from all causes are up worldwide, and alarmingly among the younger age groups between 20 and 50. The majority of people dying and filling the hospitals are fully vaccinated, and “health authorities” themselves are admitting that those vaccinated can still spread the “virus”...

Although Washington is one of Germany's closest allies, public trust in the US has significantly eroded under President Donald Trump, a new YouGov survey showed. Germans were asked who was more dangerous: North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, Chinese President Xi Jinping, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Russian President Vladimir Putin or US President Donald Trump.

Coming in last was China's Xi with 7%. Over 2,000 people...

White individuals disproportionately affect the environment through their eating habits by eating more foods that require more water and release more greenhouse gases through their production compared to foods black and Latinx individuals eat, according to a new report published in the Journal of Industrial Ecology. The report takes an in-depth look at what different demographic populations eat, how much greenhouse gas those foods are responsible for, and how much land and water they require. The study was undertaken to get a better understanding of the environmental impacts of the food consumption patterns of major demographic groups so that environmental...

Environmental activists are afraid the Trump administration will alter or delete data sets scientists use to track global warming after the president-elect takes control in January. The accusation, first reported by Mashable, has gotten at least one climate scientist to create a list of climate data sets his colleagues don’t want to see deleted.The genesis of such fears seems to have been a Mashable article published Saturday, citing Michael Halpern, an activist with the Union of Concerned Scientists.

Andrea Mitchell isn't about to let a good hurricane go to waste in her push for economy-wrecking climate change regulations. On her MSNBC show today, Andrea Mitchell claimed that recent weather events including Superstorm Sandy have "taught us if nothing else, that we have a real climate problem and that we have to deal with this here even if the rest of the world isn't going to deal with it in China and elsewhere."

I haven’t seen many stories on the U.S. wires about what is being dubbed “climategate” – the illegal hacking in of computers at University of East Anglia in England that subsequently led to public dissemination of emails and files from climate researchers there. Climate change skeptics have seized on the emails as evidence of a conspiracy to promote manmade global warming without sufficient evidence. Scientists involved - and others - say the emails were taken out of context and there is overwhelming evidence man is contributing to climate change. Still, the controversy reveals the enormous - and often vitriolic -...
