Thugs in Virginia arrested a reporter for covering a candidate for governor, supposedly because he said “fuck”.

The FCC's fraudulent comments against network neutrality include dead signatories, as well as living people who didn't file “their” comments.

When pregnant sharks are captured, they often abort their young.

How will Europe deal with 20 million Africans global heating refugees trying to get into Europe rather than die of hunger or thirst?

We in wealthy countries are burning most of the fuel.

Saboteur of Energy Perry said that fossil fuels were needed to reduce “sexual assault”.

The term “sexual assault” is not suitable for a serious discussion, because it covers crimes of varying severities which call for different responses, plus sexual harassment which is not a crime.

If we want to discuss why Perry's claim is mistaken, let's not let him sweep us into another confusion.

As far as I can see, it is mistaken because rapes are usually committed by someone who knows the victim, and that doesn't require darkness.

It is also mistaken because, to whatever extent light is useful, it is equally effective if made from renewable power generation as if made from fossil fuels.

If we keep burning fossil fuels as now, that could reduce the rate of rape by 50% by 2100, if it reduces the human population by 50%.
