IO9- there has been no warming of the air for 15 years and no ocean warming for 5 years per Nature. Really, just give it up already, it ain't happening. No warning means no warming. Move on.

"Fans studies scholars"..really? Just being an English major was not futile enough on future job applications?

There is NO free birth control-only birth control paid for by someone else. The problem ,as in Greece, is that someone else is broke and so all that 'other people's money' is borrowed. There is no free- everything has to get paid for by someone someday.

There is no good here. If CERN could make such fundamental errors and have such trouble finding them, then all CERN research becomes very questionable. A place like CERN cannot just publish a controversial result [accompanied with apologies and head scratching and requests for help as to where the mistake lies] and…

OK, io9, you are a science site. There has been no warming of the atmosphere in 15 years and a paper in Nature found no ocean warming in 5 years. Please move on.

This idea that one can only be interested and educated in a subject if one sees someone like oneself involved is the very essence of prejudice and elitism and presupposes eternal segregation.That idea that all things must be made 'equalized' is the essence of the philosophy behind socialism- a totally failed idea. Let…

How prejudiced! io9 assumes there are only TWO genders! How politically incorrect! Really, assuming there are just 2 genders is an example of how difficult it is for politically correct sites like io9 ,to function. People should care about competence-not skin color, gender, planet of origen, etc. If all the panel is…

It is great to learn of such genius and a school for people with great ability. However, I stopped reading Pop Sci because of such writing as this. It is sad to see Popular Science has writers that see scientists as weird and the subjects of ridicule. The article has an overiding derision and a comedic overlay…

Lord, I hope this nihilistic, self-hating,delusionally self-deprecating {HUMANS did write Mass Effect, you know?}, whiny game is not the best of 'your generation'. Here is a bullitin: You are human and hating yourself for being human is just sadly adolescent. Move out of the basement, do something in the real world…

The anti-scientist is just part of the anti-hero movement that has overwhelmed media. You cannot find a military/scientist/doctor/businessperson/company that is not the villian in Hollywood and television. Syfy channel is the worst. But if there is a slacker/hacker/ drug dealer/thief, they will undoubably save us from…

Of course, none of the rest of America is like New York, either. So if Americans conquered London, New York would not be the model.

The confidence value of the climate scam is 100%-that someone wants your money for their 'green(as in money)' plan. I'm sure this artist would like a grant to put out his art. As to what the Earth will look like in 1000 years... well none of the climate computer models can be run backward 100 years and accurately…

This article explains a lot about the juvenile, naive articles and attitudes of all the related sites of Gawker. Gawker, please try to advance the maturity of your writers above drunken, stoned 20 year olds. Perhaps hire one mature person to serve as a counterweight for the army of light intellects?

Amazing how the urban liberal would throw away the greatest boon to freedom in history- the ability for regular people to travel. Prior to the car, most people never traveled more than a few miles from where they were born. Don't point to trains and govt transportation-they only go where someone else decides they…

If you read the whole paper io9 refers to, you find io9 left out the little line where the authors note there has been NO warming for over a decade. You cannot have human caused warming when the is no warming of any kind.

The point of 'dogma' is that the scientist was literally excommunicated-thrown out of the lab. Excommunication almost never happens in today's religious world but it is fairly common in the modern science world. The on-line publishing of science papers came about largely as a way to get around the 'high priests' of…

I have read more clear explanations elsewhere. The issue was quite simply that there was a 'consensus' that quasicrystals were not possible, so, he committed a 'crime against dogma' by insisting he had found quasicrystals. The story of science is really filled with these stories of scientists being excommunicated for…

Europe is imploding financially. I would not count on any 'big science' items from Europe for a decade. Actually, a moon base is the least costly and most useful big space project. Mars missions are much more costly. Russia's failed Mars mission has essentially destroyed the Russian space program. Building near Earth…

Read history. Humanity has lived through huge upheavals-both natural climate and environmental shifts and human caused economic and war disasters. It is so tiring to read all the under 30's whine about the 'apocolypse'- when they consider dial up internet a life ending deprevation. And it is neither cool nor…

The British Met and East Anglia U. have announced they found no warming in 15 years. So, Global Warming is not happening. Warming's new counterpart, "Climate Change" is a meaningless political movement with no scientific definition. The Earth's climate is inherently unstable but it is no more so now than it has ever…
