Is Lake Mead shrinking because of climate?
Guest Post by Steve Milloy Wall Street Journal reporter Jim Carlton says Lake Mead is shrinking because of climate change. Is it? We report. You decide. Here’s is Carlton’s claim: First, the history of Lake Mead’s elevation is actually quite volatile. And the elevation is relatively low now — about 1,070 feet. But today’s elevation is not […] The post Is Lake Mead shrinking because of climate? appeared first on ClimateRealism. read more

Rocket launch sites popping up all over
By Lisa Savage When you hear the phrase “public-private partnerships” what do you think of – maybe corporate branding on public university research centers, or billionaires raking in taxpayer-funded subsidies? Both of these associations would be true of an increasingly evident manifestation of such partnerships: the construction of multiple rocket launch sites around the planet. Promoters don’t like to call these rocket launch sites. They prefer the public relations value of calling the sites “spaceports” which sounds much more appealing and, not by coincidence, much les... read more

Women wanted to fly jets in combat. Breaking that barrier would be the fight of their lives.
Clark Miller for Epic In the early 1990s, few corners of the military were as misogynistic as the world of fighter pilots. This is the story of the women Navy officers who overcame that culture to fly the formidable F-14. The F-14 Tomcat was a Rorschach test of a fighter jet. Some considered it an unwieldy monster. Others said it commanded grudging respect. Still others compared the 25-ton jet to an elephant — huge, powerful, and stubborn. Whatever you called it, the F-14 was as storied as it was formidable. It reigned for years as the workhorse among US Navy air combat machines... read more

Our weekly 'No war with Russia' vigil continues
Yesterday six of us were back in downtown Brunswick, Maine for an hour-long 'No war with Russia' vigil. We've been holding this event each week since February. When we began the vigil we got about 20% positive responses from cars zooming by. (Honks, waves, thumbs up or peace signs). Yesterday was different. After the vigil we collectively agreed that we got about 35% positives which indicates to us that things are steadily moving in our direction. Maybe it is the rising price of gas, food, electricity and more. Maybe people are learning more about the Nazi-fied army of Ukra... read more

Drilling into Icy Moon Oceans
[image: Drilling into Icy Moon Oceans] While we talk often about subsurface oceans in places like Europa, the mechanisms for getting through layers of ice remain problematic. We’ll need a lot of data through missions like Europa Clipper and JUICE just to make the call on how thick Europa’s ice is before determining which ice penetration technology is feasible. But it’s exciting to see how much preliminary work is going into the issue, because the day will come when one or another icy moon yields the secrets of its ocean to a surface lander. By way of comparison, the thickest ice sh... read more

Europe’s Third Attempt at Suicide and Generation Z+Europe is a serial suicide. The first attempt began in Sarajevo in 1914 and finished in Versailles in 1919. The second began a generation later in Warsaw in 1939 and ended in Berlin in 1945. Having very nearly succeeded at the second attempt (it missed atomic bombs by mere months), Europe sobered up and slowed down, waiting till the centenary of 1914 before it tried for the third time. This attempt began in Kiev, again in Eastern Europe, in 2014 and is continuing in the Special Military Operation (SMO). At every attempt Europe has lost. The first time it lost three empires (the Russi... read more
