The Venus Project is in the process of introducing a set of values and procedures that may enable us to achieve social nucleation. Our project will provide the designs and blueprints for a prototype community to test the validity of our proposals; we will strive to achieve a relevant orientation by which people may adapt intellectually and emotionally to our new technological age. We feel that anything short of overall social design would be inappropriate and ineffective.
Since we begin in a monetary-based society, the means for raising funds to construct this experimental community can be accomplished in several different ways. One is through the production of a major motion picture depicting the advantages of this new social system for all of the world’s people. Another possibility is the building of a theme park where visitors would actually experience some of the many benefits of The Venus Project’s proposals. Books…

Unfortunately, this is for real and not a sick joke.The US NRC proposal (comment deadline Sept. 8) of 50 to 100 mSv per year of radiation exposure for the general population, http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=NRC-2015-0057 has been revealed by one of its proponents, Mark L. Miller, to be part of a larger game-plan to use magical thinking, so that governments or utilities can choose whatever radiation level they want to define as safe in order to have “Dramatically reduced operating expenses • Dramatically reduced cleanup expenses” In true Orwellian style, he calls this “science-based“! Yes, and war is peace; love is hate; freedom is slavery, and nuclear fantasy is science-based – Not! What a grotesque joke Miller’s presentation is. His criminal presentation, paid for by the US taxpayer, since he works for Sandia National Lab (under contract to Lockheed Martin), says “Increase Standards by X (pick…

High wet bulb temperatures and related heatwave mass casualty events have spanned the globe during the record hot summer of 2015. Now, it appears the Southern United States is also falling under the gun of life-threatening heat and humidity.

Gulfs of Mexico, California Host Screaming Sea Surface Temperatures

As with so many recent heatwaves with the potential to produce mass casualty events, the story starts with sea surface temperatures in excess of 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit). And across a broad region of the Gulf of Mexico and all throughout the Gulf of California ocean surface waters now feature temperatures in the range of 30 to 33 degrees C (86 to 91 F).

(A tell-tale pool of 30 C+ water is gathering in the Gulfs of Mexico and California. Such hot water is a support for deadly wet-bulb readings in the range of 30-33 C. Image source: Earth Nullschool
