Lets begin with the cloud seeding statement. Cloud formation in science is a very difficult subject & computer models are constantly being re-designed to try and understand the complex factors that come in to formation of clouds. Clouds of course govern the amount of energy coming into the...

Tyger, we can all pretend to be smart & pick quotations that support ones point of view but lets not over egg the pudding. I will try & answer some of these questions but lets try and be honest about it. Firstly climate deniers as a term is obnoxious, offensive & totally incorrect. No one...

How about this as a quotation. "I was alarmist about climate change, and so was Gore. The problem is we don't know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago." James Lovelock.

I would agree with this news item. We should seek to remove pollutants & particulates from our atmosphere, for instance this comes on the back of a recent air pollution issue in the UK, mostly the South West/East where there was a convergence of sand & dust from the Sahara & pollution from...

I think it is also important to note that in official UNIPCC records they actually suggest reducing CO2 output by more than 100%. Really! Forgetting the fact that you cant reduce anything by 100%, but reducing the CO2 content of our atmosphere to say 150ppm would start a mass die off in plant...

That's a good point, there are always groups of people who insist the world needs to be saved, and saved from us. Take a stab at some of these past crisis; Global Cooling - Ice Age largely because of human CO2 Ozone Layer - CFCs Population Bomb - Run out of food - Eating our own dead -...

I have no time at all for people who say the debate is over. One of the things that upset me very much about this emotive subject is the analogies people create. A person like John Kerry who compare climate change (without doubt the most complex subject ever studied by science) to that of...

Global Warming, the ultimate fatalist subject in my humble opinion. For me the politics and the business of "global warming" is what drives the significant alarm at this point. I recently heard an interview with an Australian scientist who was fully behind the AGW hypothesis. The sceptical...

Lol, that's a good one. I really do hate being sarcastic & cynical (although I am by definition sarcastic without being cynical a lot of the time) but it do often fret at the lack of actual real conclusions. I am re-reading Vallee's Messengers of Deception at the moment & I am struck by the...

I'd agree with Burt States reply here. I think many of us don't accept the ETH as a complete explanation for the phenomena but it is still a valid hypothesis to be tested. The control system Vallee speculates over is again a testable hypothesis but it is very tough to test. He would need to...

The recent movie Interstellar was an interesting idea (bringing up here just for the fun of the idea) SPOLIER ALERT IF NOT SEEN PLEASE IGNORE POST. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The idea of higher dimensions & how it interacts with our...

I'd agree with your sentiment in your post above, science has backed away because of stigma, UFO idiots, UFO believers etc... When I say science needs to get involved I'm more inclined to want the scientific infrastructure & facilities to be involved. I just heard the last Paracast show, about...

Some great articles there & I have been a reader of the Journal for Scientific Exploration for several years, a good resource for seeing the thoughts of real researchers. As with the complexity of the subject, I often come back to the fact that to get the real solid answers, we are going to...

That is a good point, there will always be room for data when the certainty is not 100%.

I think we are all in agreement here. Potentially there are so many data points, levels of subjectivity in a persons perception that it must be difficult cleaning up the data, reviewing it to ensure that it is accurate before it is made part of the database. How does a person know the good data...

Yes that is the one 'Capella'. I was just thinking last night about the scientific establishments refusal to actually look at this phenomena. You hear so many scientists pointing out that the evidence is anecdotal and that person x is not a trained observer of the sky. Good sober statistics...

I am not sure Vallee & the group report to anyone in particular, at least I don't know if this is the case. GEPAN would have paid for the scientists to fly in for the conference but from what I hear there was a general acceptance that with a little effort this work can be done now with little...

Hi Burnt State, Yes I certainly did see the presentation & the comment at the end was not lost on me. The implication is the impossible in his examples will, within a few years become accepted. I have only heard him mention his database work in previous interviews, Capella being one of his...

Hi, In recent weeks the show has had many guests which are strongly advocating for real science to be involved in researching this amazing mystery. Real, hard statistical analysis & the development of new database structures & overall investigative strategy coming from CNES. Could we have...

The one thing that these discussions highlight is the drastic need of proper UaP analyses & in the absence of real evidence & real conclusions people take sides in a turf war which stunts progress. I see it very similar to the effect the scientific establishment has had on the UFO community in...
