Right now a very rare southern SSW (Sudden Stratospheric Warming) is
taking place, possibly peaking today or this weekend over Antarctica. In
the Northern Hemisphere SSW’s happen more often and in the month
afterwards, wild polar blasts like the “Beast from the East” can peel
off. So somewhere way up at 10hPa or 30 – 50 km, there is an area that’s
warmed from -60C to close to zero. The warming up
The
stock market is an all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful diviner's
tool. It tells us why the world is the way it is, where we can expect it
to go in the future, and even what people (and entire nations) are
thinking. It is, in fact, God . . . or so the propagandists would have
you believe. Find out the real skinny on the phony baloney stock market
in this week's edition of #PropagandaWatch.
The Tear Stained Flogs of Climate Science The unstoppable Tony Thomas
has collected the tears of climate scientists the world over as they
wallow in their self-inflicted heartache. For anyone who hasn’t come
face to face with the raw emotional PR power of a crying scientist,
check out Quadrant. In particular, this new study: The $2.5 million
dollar study of The Emotional Labor of Climate Scientis

science
Twin and family studies have shown that same-sex sexual behavior is
partly genetically influenced, but previous searches for specific genes
involved have been underpowered. We performed a genome-wide association
study (GWAS) on 477,522 individuals, revealing five loci significantly
associated with same-sex sexual behavior. In aggregate, all tested
genetic variants accounted for 8 to 25% of variat

have created miniature brains from stem cells that developed functional
neural networks. Despite being a million times smaller than human

understand human brain development.
