Former NASA Climate Change Deniers – May 9th, 2012

Shadeydave — Wed, 09 May 2012 22:17:52 +0000

A group of 49 former NASA employees have appealed to NASA to stop making climate claims in the media that the group of 49 claim are not scientifically supported. NASA publicly stated that they don’t make conclusions based on the data, they just collect and disseminate it. NASA further invited the group of 49, to participate in the scientific process and put their own claims up for the same scrutiny of scientific peer review, that’s afforded all serious scientists in the field.

Project Steve: Is a satyrical list poking fun at a list released earlier this year from the ‘Discovery Institute’. The Discovery Institute, as well as many other creationist organizations have lists that contain the names of 700 scientists that don’t believe in evolutionary theory. Project Steve highlights this comically low number of creationist scientists by generating a list of evolutionary scientists with the first name of ‘Steve’.

Scientists using an electron force microscope have found the oldest intact human blood cells in Otzi (the oldest murder victim found with evidence). At some 5,300 years old, the blood represents the oldest sample we’ve found to date, looks surprisingly fresh and could lead to advancements in the study of Egyptian Mummies and criminalistics.
