    Fontus - self-filling water bottle (indiegogo scam campaign?)

    Further down that same page, in the FAQ, they claim to be able to collect up to 11 gallons. I think I found the source of the discrepancy. They provide a link to what they claim is a more detailed PDF outlining the results of our WaterSeer™ Collider Innovation Challenge. In it they claim to...

    Fontus - self-filling water bottle (indiegogo scam campaign?)

    Ya, It's too bad that TF delivers his message with sneers and sarcasm. When I first looked into this product, Google lead me to online tech blogs. Most of the headlines and article content read like the device, as outlined in the WaterSeer promotional video, was already developed, field tested...

    Photos of Planes and Contrails (That you took yourself)

    Brought my truck in for repairs this morning. On my walk home I saw this. The picture doesn't do it justice, but the contrails were a brilliant white one a beautiful deep blue. Great day for persistent spreading contrails in Toronto. I should get out more often. Later in the...

    Tianjin Explosion - Conspiracy Theories

    Ya, Mike Adams is pushing the "rod from God" scenario. I hypothetical space based weapon system that uses the kinetic energy released from the impact of a metal projectile to cause the destruction. Any metal "rod" entering the atmosphere at 25,000 mph would leave a clearly visible glowing...

    Russian Troll Houses

    The first document in the list is interesting. It looks like a password file. A search on a random sampling of the usernames reveals that most had accounts on Livejournal.com and they tended to be critical of the Ukraine and the US. A few of the other documents are profiles of entities that are...

    Russian Troll Houses

    Ya, I tend to agree. This is from the CBC interview that originally caught my attention. Not much meat. The actual propaganda value of all of this seems pretty limited... (some speculate) this is just another venue for people to basically skim from the budget by creating these elaborate...

    Russian Troll Houses

    Before posting I did read the Practical Debunking forum guide. I thought the post might fall under the Links to debunking resource guideline. I guess it's fate is now in the hands of the gods... I mean mods.

    Russian Troll Houses

    LOL. I did a search that came up empty. Honest I did. Oops... does this mean I'm about to get Rambled?

    Russian Troll Houses

    Russian bloggers are hired to spam forums and social media sites with pro-putin and anti-west rumours, disinformation and bunk. I've never heard of these until today. Although, in hindsight I really shouldn’t be surprised they exist. How effective is the trolling? Consider the following from a...

    What to do when family members believe in bunk ?

    There is a practical aspect to the arguments that needs to be considered. For instance, you have a family member who decides not to vaccinate her child at all. After she spends a weekend at a family water park she wants to drop in for a visit. At the same time you're in close contact with your...

    Earth curvature refraction experiments - debunking flat/concave Earth

    These calculations use the radius of the earth. Since the earth is not a perfect sphere, the radius value they use is typically the mean value. So that can also account for some of the error.

    Debunked: Ian Simpson's Presentation at the 2015 Cambridge SRM Conference

    The people that have much more say in the matter, like Dr. Rose Cairns who studies the implications of climate engineering to better inform governing bodies, believes that there is something to be learned from engaging chemtrail conspiracy theorists, and David Keith seems to agree with her. So...

    Debunked: Ian Simpson's Presentation at the 2015 Cambridge SRM Conference

    Their point of view is largely based on a misunderstanding of the science. Understanding and learning how to deal with this vocal group of bunk spreading non-geoengineers today has value considering it's very likely that a large portion of the future population will consist of non-geoengineers...

    Debunked: Ian Simpson's Presentation at the 2015 Cambridge SRM Conference

    The Chemtrail conspiracy believers are a part of the general population. A small, vocal, fringe part, but they are a part nevertheless. Cairns and Keith believe that some of their conspiratorial concerns are reflected in the general population, so understanding those concerns can shed some...

    Debunked: Ian Simpson's Presentation at the 2015 Cambridge SRM Conference

    I believe they were invited so that scientists and future policy makers might better understand the opposition to geoengineering programs. It's not about convincing Ian that he's wrong, or debunking him, but rather to understand Ian's objections. This was expressed in a Washington Post article...

    Earth curvature refraction experiments - debunking flat/concave Earth

    I believe you're correct on that. The guy who seems to be the source of this theory believes we should all humble ourselves to him because he is god. As for debunking the video, I think it debunks itself. I don't see a "direct hit" from the blue laser. The camera appears to capture a faint blue...
