“Casimir Effect” Perpetual Energy Machine Raises $12 Million Seed Capital

 WUWT

"Led by Scout Ventures, the Funding Will Accelerate Commercialization of Chips That Generate Persistent Power from Quantum Vacuum Fields 

May 12, 2026

Casimir, Inc., a quantum energy technology company founded by former NASA advanced propulsion researcher Dr. Harold “Sonny” White, today announced the close of a $12 million seed round led by Scout Ventures. The funding will commercialize the world’s first quantum vacuum energy source: semiconductor chips that harvest energy from quantum vacuum fields to produce continuous electrical power with no batteries, cords, or charging required. 

The oversubscribed round exceeded its original $8 million target, reflecting strong investor confidence in Casimir’s solution to one of energy technology’s longest-standing challenges, harnessing the Casimir effect. Scout Ventures is joined by Lavrock Ventures, Cottonwood Technology, Capital Factory, American Deep Tech, and Tim Draper of Draper Associates. The funding will accelerate chip performance optimization, targeting commercial availability of the company’s first-generation MicroSparc chip by 2028, positioning Casimir to disrupt the ultra-low-power electronics sector. 

Casimir’s MicroSparc chip measures just 5mm × 5mm and is designed to produce 1.5 volts at 25 microamps, performance comparable to a small rechargeable battery, but with no degradation and no replacement cycle. The company’s initial market targets ultra-low-power electronics, including tire pressure monitoring systems, embedded sensors, wearables, and other devices where battery replacement is costly or impractical, a market valued at nearly $10 billion today.

The climate scam is fueled by stupidity more than fraud

 American Thinker

"So, this is my point. If one sifts through all the workings of the climate hoax with its Green New Deal and Net Zero Schema, one will find fraud, but what is really fueling it is an immense amount of stupidity and hubris. Just as the banks with their subprime valuation models pushed the banking system to ruin, so too, the IPCC with its dubious climate models is driving the world toward impoverishment."

Met Office Deletes Huge Chunks of Historic Temperature Data After Fabrication Claims

 WUWT

"The move casts serious doubt over attempts by the Met Office to estimate temperature trends across many once open but now closed weather stations. Sanders is not inclined to minimise the scale of the problem facing the Met Office. When subject to “proper scrutiny”, the Met Office “could not substantiate its fabrication of false data and has had to delete them in their entirety”.

The practice of inventing temperature data from non-existent stations is not confined to the UK. In the USA, the weather service NOAA has been charged with fabricating data from more than 30% of its reporting sites. Data are retrieved from surrounding stations and the resulting averages are given an ‘E’ for estimate. The addition of the so-called ‘ghost’ station data means NOAA’s monthly and yearly reports are “not representative of reality”, states meteorologist Anthony Watts. If such evidence was presented in a court of law it would be thrown out, he adds.

Temperature measurements and estimates are a highly imprecise science. The dreadful mistake meteorological operations like the Met Office and NOAA make is to leverage their ‘trusted’ status to promote the political Net Zero fantasy by claiming an accuracy and precision that is simply not available in their rough-and-ready figures."

Sea Level Rise Hoax Exposed: The Disappearing Islands That Refuse To Disappear

 WUWT

NoTricksZone

"Germany’s Klimanachrichten here publishes an article titled “The Disappearing Islands (That Don’t Want to Disappear)” summarizes findings suggesting that the widespread assumption about low-lying islands inevitably sinking due to rising sea levels is too simplistic and detached from reality.  .....Reality shows that the simple equation of “rising sea levels = island disappearance” is naive oversimplification. Scientists suggest that some islands will shrink, others will grow, and many will remain stable.

In conclusion: The article challenges the “Science Is Settled” argument, emphasizing that science is a continuously evolving process of correction as the system complexities (long-known by skeptics) become increasingly apparent."

Is Climate Change the New Doctrine of The Catholic Church?

 WUIWT

"The Roman Catholic Church’s mission is eternal salvation, not temporal activism. Its message should be timeless, not tied to the agenda of climate conferences. If Pope Leo truly wishes to raise hope, he would do better to preach than pontificate. For Roman Catholics, salvation will never be measured in tons of CO₂ — but in faith, truth, and fidelity to the gospel."

Massive Cover-up Launched by U.K. Met Office to Hide its 103 Non-Existent Temperature Measuring Stations

 WUWT

Last month, the Daily Sceptic highlighted the practice at the U.K. Met Office of inventing temperature averages from over 100 non-existent measuring stations. Helpfully, the Met Office went so far as to supply coordinates, elevations and purposes of the imaginary sites. Following massive interest across social media and frequent reposting of the Daily Sceptic article, the Met Office has amended its ludicrous claims. The move has not been announced in public, needless to say, since drawing attention to this would open a pandora’s box and run the risk of subjecting all the Met Office temperature claims to wider scrutiny. Instead, the Met Office has discreetly renamed its “U.K. climate averages” page as “Location-specific long-term averages”.   .....As a result, Sanders discovered from a freedom of information request that 103 of the 302 sites marked on the climate averages listing – over a third of the total – no longer existed. Subsequently, Sanders sought further information about the methodology used to supply data for both Folkestone and Dover. In reply, the Met Office said it was unable to supply details of the observing sites requested “as this is not recorded information”. It did however disclose that for non-existent stations “we use regression analysis to create a model of the relationship between each station and others in the network”. This generates an estimate for each month when the station is not operating. Each “estimate” is said to be based on data from six other stations, chosen because they are “well correlated” with the target station."

International Climate Litigation: A Trojan Horse for Global Climate Policy?

 WUWT

Who Benefits?

Follow the money, and the picture becomes clearer. International climate litigation serves the interests of:

1. Global Bureaucracies
   Organizations like the United Nations thrive on expanding their influence. Turning climate issues into legal obligations strengthens their role as global arbiters of policy.
2. Developing Nations with Leverage
   By framing themselves as victims, some developing nations hope to secure massive payouts from wealthier countries, effectively subsidizing their own development agendas under the guise of climate justice.
3. Climate Activists
   Litigation gives activists a high-profile platform to push their agenda, bypassing political opposition and public skepticism.

The Real Agenda Behind the Lawsuit

The ICJ case might be dressed up as a fight for justice, but scratch the surface, and it looks more like a power grab. This isn’t about protecting vulnerable nations—it’s about imposing a global climate regime that overrides national sovereignty, empties taxpayers’ wallets, and enriches a global elite."

Climate ‘scientists’ discover they’ve been underestimating a major factor, and all their climate models are in fact wrong

 Olivia Murray

"Climate scientists recently discovered that they’ve been underestimating the impact of a particular organic compound in the atmosphere, and the oversight’s significance is so profound that it’s left existing climate models completely obsolete. As Jo Nova writes, “This is so big, it may change the sacred ‘climate sensitivity’ of the whole Earth”.

Isoprene is what’s known as a volatile organic compound, or a VOC, and “has a recognized role in protecting plants against many abiotic stresses” like “heat stress…drought…[and] oxidative stress” with trees being the greatest emitters. (When the chemical isoprene interacts with other compounds in the atmosphere, the products are a number of secondary organic aerosols.)"

Net Zero Is Asinine

 Chris Talgo

"In truth, the world is not on the verge of an environmental collapse. Weather events like tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, etc. are not becoming more frequent nor deadlier. Sea rise is not a dangerous threat and all the glaciers have not melted. Wildfires are not increasing in intensity and neither are heatwaves.

The UN does not want you to be aware of these facts because they directly undercut the core of their alarmist message and therefore undermine the supposed urgency for net zero.

Moreover, the UN is adamantly opposed to developing nations utilizing fossil fuels so that they can become economically competitive while drastically reducing the abject poverty that still exists in far too many countries.

If the continued use of fossil fuels poses no imminent threat to humanity, why is the UN so gung-ho about net zero?

Perhaps the answer is money. The sheer cost of transitioning the world from fossil fuels to renewable energy and achieving net zero is estimated to cost about $75 trillion, according to Goldman Sachs.   ..........Net zero is arguably the most ambitious power grab in world history, considering it would completely transform entire economies, societies, and cultures."

Climate Alarmism is the existential threat to humanity

 Chris Talgo

"In reality, climate change is nowhere near an existential threat. In fact, in many ways, the slight warming that has occurred over the past half century or so has made life better for humanity. For instance, NASA satellite data show a significant rise in global plant growth in recent decades -- what some call global greening. A slightly warmer planet is also beneficial because it produces greater crop yields.

However, one can make a compelling argument that climate alarmism, and the policies that climate alarmists support, actually comprise an existential threat to humanity.

First and foremost, climate alarmists are hellbent on ending the use of affordable and reliable energy in the form of fossil fuels. This alone is a horrendous stance that puts millions of lives at risk.

Like it or not, the advent of fossil fuels, namely oil, coal, and natural gas, has been the biggest boon for humanity in all of history. The harnessing of these resources to supply virtually unlimited energy in cost-effective terms has raised billions of people from abject poverty."

Climate Change Is Not Threatening Human Health

 Linnea Lueken

"It has become all too common in the media, especially every time another United Nations climate conference like COP28 takes place, to blame every problem on climate change. The media and their go-to climate pundits reach far and wide to connect whatever tragic event is trending in the news to the modest warming of the past hundred or so years, and they do it no matter how tenuous the connection.

Some claims immediately stand out as ridiculous to even the casual observer, like the claim that the oceans are boiling, which is so stupid only someone who has blind trust in favored authorities bordering on pathological would believe it.

Other claims have the appearance of plausibility, at least at first glance, because the logic is relatively straightforward. Even then, existing data often contradicts the climate attribution. Taking a hypothesis, testing it, and then revising it based on the results used to be a thing called the “scientific method,” but apparently many in the media find that too boring and choose to spread unverified claims instead. ........Creating climate anxiety is explicitly the goal of media climate reporting. Bombarding their audiences with scare stories, facts to the contrary be damned, is aimed at motivating people into “taking action” and supporting severe restrictions on fossil-fuel use. Survivors of a natural disaster may also struggle with PTSD or similar ailments, but it doesn’t mean that climate change is the cause. VOA reporting that climate anxiety is a result of climate change itself is frankly disgusting.

In the end, objective scientific data does not show that human health is being negatively impacted by climate change, and it is certainly not the biggest health threat facing humanity.

It is also worth noting how suspicious it is that the WHO is jumping on the climate change alarm train, given their preference for parroting the Chinese Communist Party’s talking points. China also happens to have a near monopoly on “green” tech manufacturing, and stands to gain a lot from the West’s “transition.” I’d argue that the greatest human health threat is actually climate policy, because it is destabilizing the electric power grid, increasing food insecurity, and encouraging the world’s people to be increasingly reliant on the good will of the Chinese Communist Party. Climate change itself doesn’t even break the top 10 of humanitarian or health threats facing the world."

Climate and COVID – Making It Up As They Go Along

 Brian C. Joondeph, M.D.

"Were COVID public health recommendations on masks, vaccines, and distancing about the medical science or the political science?

Now pivot to climate change, formerly known as global warming.

No scientist will argue that the climate is not changing. The planet has gone through numerous ice ages, large and small, obvious evidence of a changing climate. The disagreement is over what is causing that change.  .....Planet Earth has experienced ice ages followed by warming, numerous times, all occurring before humans existed or had any significant influence on the world around them. .........In 2010, a global warming conference was cancelled due to a blizzard in Washington, D.C.

This is what happens when science is politicized. Mother Nature doesn’t take kindly to those subverting science for personal gain, money, or power. She has a not-so-subtle way of setting the record straight, like snowing on global warming conferences.

The real climate agenda is government spending taxpayer dollars and increasing centralized power in an ill-fated effort to stop Mother Nature and planetary forces. Any efforts of Al Gore, Bill Gates, King Charles, or Greta Thunberg is mere spitting in the wind of Earth’s billions of years of climate cycles.

Whether COVID or climate, those who subvert science for nefarious purposes, making things up as they go along, end up with egg on their faces. But the cost in life and dollars is borne by the rest of us."

Climate ‘experts’ assure us they weren’t wrong, it was just a ‘miracle’ year

 Jack Hellner

Before the record wet winter which saw torrential downpour and floods, the “experts” were predicting a continuous dangerous drought—but the inaccuracy wasn’t because they were wrong, it was simply a miracle! (From a Los Angeles Times article, shared via Yahoo) ......The media and other green pushers conveniently omit information that doesn’t support the “warming” narrative, and don’t want the indoctrinated public to see factual information that would destroy their theory.What is actually a miracle is that anyone believes the scam, when previous dire predictions have been wrong 100% of the time. ......There is only one question they need to ask Joe Biden, John Kerry, or any so-called expert that shows this is just a money grabbing scam—where is the scientific data that shows a link between humans consumption of oil, natural gas, and coal and temperatures? Hint: There is none. The temperature has fluctuated both up and down the last 160 years while our use of these natural resources has rocketed straight up. It is a simple scientific concept that when there is no correlation, you cannot assume causation. 

The purpose of the scam is greed and to control the people.

Greenpeace Canada Co-Founder Admits "We Are Not In A Climate Crisis"

 TYLER DURDEN

The co-founder of Greenpeace Canada told podcast host Dan Proft that “climate alarmism is 100% untrue.”

“They said it was the hottest year in the history of the earth the other day, and it’s not,” Moore told Proft on the “Counterculture” podcast.

“That’s just, period, a lie.”

“The whole climate alarmism - ‘climate catastrophe’ - is 100% untrue,” said Moore.

“We are not in a climate crisis.”

Moore told Proft that “there is nothing really that radical happening” with the climate, and it’s essential to “seek the truth” and “sort out what is true and what isn’t.” 

Global Warming and the Earth's Land Mass

 Guy K. Mitchell, Jr.

The goal of scientific research should be to pursue the truth, not confirm a personal or institutional bias.  But many analyses of the global warming hypothesis begin with the assumption that man has caused global warming and then proceed to try to prove the thesis, employing pseudoscience in the effort  ......In my book, I cite published, peer-reviewed scientific research, employing the first principles of the relevant scientific fields of thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, atmospheric physics, and spectroscopy to prove that CO2 does not cause global warming...... It is all about the money and political power.  Science has been sacrificed on the altar of political opportunism for economic and political gain.

The question is not whether global warming has occurred; the data and scientific analysis prove otherwise.  The question is, "why do the UN IPCC and certain US and world politicians continue to promote the man-made global warming hypothesis when the science and data prove it to be false?"  The legal definition of fraud is intent to deceive."
