Is this a Valid/ Credible Web Site?

Question

Answer 1

Let me quote a couple of things from that same website - you decide.

"In graduate school, I studied yeast physiology and stumbled onto the basic control mechanisms for mushroom formation. But I was forced into seclusion by mental pain, so I moved onto the previously vacated family farm and did mushroom research."

"The Truth about Relativity

Relativity is based on contradictions, such as the receiving point of light determining its velocity, so effect precedes cause. That logic is not allowed anyplace. It also requires an infinite number of velocities simultaneously, which prevents light from having a definable energy. more

Big Bang Theory

It gets more absurd all the time. Galaxies supposedly moved to their present vicinity in a fraction of a second before the laws of physics began. more

The Cause of Heart Disease

Much evidence shows that the underlying cause is chlorinated water, which alters artery walls and causes white blood cells to attack the foreign substance. more"

Personally I'll stick with the National Academy of Sciences instead.  1800 of the nations best scientists, elected by their peers.  Getting elected to the Academy is like winning an Oscar in science.  They say global warming is real, and mostly caused by us.

Answer 3

It's just as credible as any other site....

Answer 4

This guy calls himself "Gary Novak Independent Scientist" then attacks the scientists and other experts in a number of fields, including Medical science, Relativity, Astronomy, Dentisty, Biology and Geology, Economics, Genetics, Auto making, Healthcare, Agriculture, Software, the Spirit World, Politics, and on and on.  It is all this long ramble replete with paranoid and delusional statements.  There is one called "Basic Reality" that would frighten Carlos Casteneda.  He has a section called "Einstein is The Cause of the War in Iraq" that is a must read.  He describes himself as an evolutionary biologist specializing in mushrooms.

Did you know, for example that, "There is a subconscious rule branded onto the DNA of the modern world which says logic and evidence is how the enemies of society destroy our kids and pets"

Or how about, "One of the most critical parts of judgment is determining significance. Discoveries have more to do with getting significances corrected than perceiving something that hasn't been perceived before. Of course, straining out gnats and swallowing camels is the opposite of correct significance."

And of course, "In other words, rationality is aligning upon ordered existence as the most basic requirement of constructivity. It is adapting one's mind to objective reality in order to enhance it. "

Answer 5

Compare the rationalizations of the Alarmists web sites with the logic of this web site.

Also see letter to the IPCC with great graph:

IPCC CHALLENGED TO RENOUNCE GLOBAL WARMING CLAIMS

http://nzclimatescience.net/images/PDFs/...

This seems to show a hole in the CO2 theory with 10 years of no temperature increase while CO2 levels keep climbing.

Answer 6

No.

The most reliable web-sites will be those associated with major universities or government labs that are actually involved in scientific research.  These would have .edu or .gov at the end of their URL.

The next most reliable web-site would be those by people with advanced degrees in the field which they are writing (e.g. PhD in Chemistry if they're writing about chemistry, PhD in Computer Science or Math if they're writing about computer modeling, etc.).

Answer 7

YES! use your mind ...think logically ...dont allow the government to controll your thoughts! dont be a zombie! global warming is a natural event it ebbs and flows! not all he says is right but the point is that this is all a distraction to help usher in the new world order.

Answer 8

The About the Author link states that he has extensively studied mushrooms and goes on to correct Einstein's classic equation E=MC squared. That sets off alarm bells for me but he does have some valid points about CO2 and global warming. I think I should be worried about that but I prefer to argue the facts and not someone's background and other theories. Most leading scientists believed in eugenics from the late 1800s until WWII, which is very politically incorrect these days due to the extreme eugenics practices of Herr Hitler.

He also has interesting material on prions and other biological topics that I'm not qualified to debate, but they do sound intriguing and not at all crockpot.

His topic against CO2 causing global warming is pretty much the same as many of the skeptical arguments here on Y!A, but his claim that it's actually caused by the Earth's core getting hotter and warming the oceans is a new one to me. The core is slowly cooling and has been since the Earth formed but hot spots are possible so I will have to look at some old textbooks to decide for myself.
