Dark Matter

On April 20^th, my friend Mr C.I. Pig (Capitalist Imperialist Pig) answered my lack of belief in Dark Matter with the comment that “Dark matter….it's pretty solid”. Then he went on to explain the four things he thinks can be explained if one believes in Dark Matter. But he added “Of course we don't know what dark matter really is, but Newton admitted that he didn't know what gravity was either. And we might discover what dark matter is fairly soon - or not.”

I´m not about to convert the six of you who will read this, but C.I. Pig´s words just didn´t sound convincing. So he got pissed off  (sort of) because I think Dark Matter doesn´t exist, and there are other ways to explain what´s going on.  C.I. Pig went on to write about how he wanted to write video games and that if I wanted to speculate about physics I needed to study math and develop a fully recognizable set of equations like these:

To be honest, I got my idea about the way it works when I was watching whales jump out of the water offshore Congo. Congo was a great place to stare at things and think about the way they worked. For example, I remember the time I went to the beach near the border between Congo and Gabon. I was there invited by a friend who brought along a guard. I wish I could say I remember the beach, but I don´t. I remember the guy´s toes sticking out his boots. You see, his feet were so big, he had cut out the boot ends and his toes came out, all spread apart, as if he were trying to show off.

Making sense of Climate Science

A course at Kumbasi´s prestigious “Lord Greystoke Institute”, brought to you by the Ministry of Sciency of the Republic of Waziria.

About this course

In public discussions, climate change is a highly controversial topic.  Politicians and the media like to repeat that 97% of climate scientists think humans are causing some global warming. But as Christopher Monckton of Brenchley wrote, “That is the argumentum ad verecundiam, or appeal-to-authority fallacy”.

Why is there a  significant gap between the  public perception and reality?

Public perception can be driven by photos like

 this (Houston after  hurricane Allison in 2001)

Reality is more like this (Houston when

 there´s no hurricane weather)

What are the psychological and social drivers of the drive by a (mostly left wing) activist crowd to tout an ill-defined “scientific consensus”?

Why did they create the term  “climate denial”?

This course examines the science of climate science hysteria and propaganda techniques. It helps you discern the tricks of the trade, understand the spooky graphs (such as the one used by Michael Mann in “False Hope”, his Scientific American article, or his famous hockey stick graph).

Global Warming 102, another tutorial by me

Less than 5  percent of people care to know that aerosols cool the planet,  I got fired up to write  a tutorial about this topic when I read an article in Scientific American, attacking Nick Lewis for writing in his blog that  a recently released paper by Bjorn Stevens reinforced the idea that CO2 doesn´t cause as much global warming as claimed by the IPCC. This tutorial also teaches about the quality of the material we can find in famous scientific publications.

(that´s not me, I´m not Japanese) 

The Scientific American piece  was  a hatchet job, so I decided to prepare my tutorial, write this post, and put a microscopic pinprick back in Scientific America´s hide.  In this tutorial I  include my own drawings and cartoons  about this topic, which you can see below. 

Cuban President Rubio visits the People´s Revolutionary French Republic

The State Visit to the  People´s Revolutionary French  Republic by the President of the Cuban Republic, His Excellency President Marino Rubio del Rio, took place on the 11th and 12th of February. Upon arrival, the Cuban president was greeted by French Supreme Leader for Life Jean Luc Melenchón, and  hundreds of thousands of French Revolutionary Citizens, which had  massed along the parade route  to greet their presumed capitalist saviour.

The Cuban President was accompanied by a delegation of ministers, senior officials, and representatives from Cuban industry and commerce.  During the visit 15 agreements in trade, financing, and diplomatic relations were signed - among these was a Statement of Intent between them for long-term cooperation in research on the cure for the French Disease by Cuban medical experts, and a plan for Construction of  Sustainable Hotels and Eyesore Elimination  by Cuban multinationals on French Revolutionary provinces wishing to attract tourism.
