Sometimes people accidentally make good points while believing they are making the opposite point. Right before the eclipse, liberal activist David Pepper asked an easy-to-answer question whose answer is in fact informative — even if Pepper thought it was a stumper. Very few arguments in the past few years have been as annoying and smug […]
Climate Alarmists' Bad Science Submitted by David Barker, who has taught economics and finance at the University of Chicago and the University of Iowa and worked as an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. He runs a real-estate and finance company. I debunked research by the Federal Reserve and top academic economists on the economics of climate change. An author of a paper I debunked then said that three professors from Stanford and Berkeley had done a much better...
If someone says, “Trust the science!” these days, it’s usually an effort to short-circuit debate over weighty policy issues. “Trust the science” has been deployed in the past five years to prevent debate over COVID school closures and mask mandates, over electric-car subsidies, and over sex changes for boys and girls.

Check out the science behind how and when this phenomenon occurs.
Shuffling across the carpet to zap a friend may be the oldest trick in the book, but on a deep level that prank still mystifies scientists, even after thousands of years of study.
Scientists can measure the rate at which glaciers melt by making underwater audio recordings of them shifting and calving, then reducing those sounds to predictive formulas. But what if, in addition to providing useful data, the sounds of melting glaciers became music? Montréal composer Sophie Kastner's "Terminus" does just that, incorporating those underwater recordings into a composition for string quartet. The piece is one of the works inspired by and derived from science and data on...
Hamilton, Halton, Niagara and area news from CHCH - Hamilton, Halton, and Niagara news.. The total solar eclipse has long finished its trek across North America, but it continues to take the internet by storm. However, eclipses aren’t just beautiful to look at… they’re also great for science too! While many of us were looking up at the sky during the solar eclipse, scientists launched rockets as a way […]
