Solar cycles, weather and climateThere we go...That's all I really wanted to see... some alternatives to the hyped/politicized CO2 warming theory. Solar output has never been studied in the long-term, and only as a earth-warming possibility in the last 10-20 years. There really is no known measurement for...

A closer look at one geo-engineering proposal

It has been proposed that one way to curtail global warming is to put reflectors into the upper atmosphere, sending some of that solar radiation back out into space. Wait a minute, say some scientists. Let's re-think the idea of a solar sunshade. That idea could also lower the...

Where cheaper is not better

Patients are being told that a reformed health care system will make such intensive therapies impossible, that shortages will result.
