Researchers are acquitted for showing that most rapes in Sweden are committed by migrants

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Many have taken for granted that research in Sweden is free. So did the research doctor Kristina Sundquist – until she became the subject of a criminal investigation for having conducted prohibited research on who commits rape in Sweden. After living with a criminal stamp on him for two years, the investigation is now closed. However, Sundquist does not receive any apology or compensation for how she was affected.

Kristina Sundquist is a doctor in general medicine. By chance, she discovered in connection with a research project that there is a large over-representation of migrants as perpetrators of rape and chose to draw attention to this. She wouldn’t have done that.

The fact that this information was not withheld was not looked upon with kindly eyes higher up in the research world. The Appeals Board for Ethics Review (Önep) decided on its own initiative to report Sundquist for “unethical” research and thus put an end to it.

“Not permission” to research

According to the report, Sundquist “did not have permission” to mention such things in his research and the case was handed over to prosecutors for criminal investigation. For two years, she has been forced to live with a degrading criminal label on her in the world of research, with the consequences for her career.

But now the yoke is lifted from Sundquist’s shoulders, at least partially, when Eva-Marie Persson, chief prosecutor at the Public Prosecutor’s Office’s development centre, announces that the investigation is closed. However, this does not happen because it has been concluded that it is not possible to prove that Sundquist committed any crime.

The reason is instead that the prescription period has expired. This means that Sundquist will never be completely washed clean and receive redress. This may mean that she may also find it difficult to conduct research in the future.

The original article is in Swedish. The excerpt above is from a Google translation of the article. This kind of repressive official behavior (even in the sciences) is due to centuries of clan-busting policies first from Catholics and then other Christians. The result is a society incapable of understanding most of the rest of the world which is societally clan-based. Western peoples are for the most part incapable of defending themselves against clan-based aggression, infiltration, takeover, domination. You can see for yourself how bad this situation is by simply raising this topic within a group of Westerners. Chances are you will be socially censured immediately and ostracized if you repeat the behavior. Just as clannishness has been ingrained into most human beings for tens of thousands of years, so clannishness has been extirpated from Westerners who now react violently against it. Shows that cultural conditioning is a big deal. At the bottom somewhere is a strong instinct. ABN

Observations show that Antarctic ice shelves GAINED 661 Gt of ice mass over the past decade

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Antarctic ice shelves provide buttressing support to the ice sheet, stabilising the flow of grounded ice and its contribution to global sea levels. Over the past 50 years, satellite observations have shown ice shelves collapse, thin, and retreat; however, there are few measurements of the Antarctic-wide change in ice shelf area. Here, we use MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) satellite data to measure the change in ice shelf calving front position and area on 34 ice shelves in Antarctica from 2009 to 2019. Over the last decade, a reduction in the area on the Antarctic Peninsula (6693 km2) and West Antarctica (5563 km2) has been outweighed by area growth in East Antarctica (3532 km2) and the large Ross and Ronne–Filchner ice shelves (14 028 km2). The largest retreat was observed on the Larsen C Ice Shelf, where 5917 km2 of ice was lost during an individual calving event in 2017, and the largest area increase was observed on Ronne Ice Shelf in East Antarctica, where a gradual advance over the past decade (535 km2 yr−1) led to a 5889 km2 area gain from 2009 to 2019. Overall, the Antarctic ice shelf area has grown by 5305 km2 since 2009, with 18 ice shelves retreating and 16 larger shelves growing in area. Our observations show that Antarctic ice shelves gained 661 Gt of ice mass over the past decade, whereas the steady-state approach would estimate substantial ice loss over the same period, demonstrating the importance of using time-variable calving flux observations to measure change.

‘We do not know what can happen if we set up countless wind turbines’

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

In an interview, the renowned expert has now again asked uncomfortable questions about what he considered possible connections between the strong expansion of wind energy and warming of the climate. The answers that Ganteför gave to the „ Nordkurier “ will not please everyone – and will therefore be largely ignored in the sometimes very one-sided debate about a sensitive topic.

Summarized in one sentence, the physicist warns: „ We currently do not know what can happen if we continue to set up countless wind turbines. “

Human caused CO2 from 1750 to 2018 — ‘Much too low to be the cause of global warming’

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Abstract

… These results negate claims that the increase in C(t) since 1800 has been dominated by the increase of the anthropogenic fossil component. We determined that in 2018, atmospheric anthropogenic fossil CO2 represented 23% of the total emissions since 1750 with the remaining 77% in the exchange reservoirs. Our results show that the percentage of the total CO2 due to the use of fossil fuels from 1750 to 2018 increased from 0% in 1750 to 12% in 2018, much too low to be the cause of global warming.

100% lab-grown babies in FIVE YEARS: Japanese researchers are on cusp of creating human eggs and sperm that can be grown in a fake womb

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Growing human babies from scratch in a lab could be possible in just five years thanks to a new breakthrough.

Researchers in Japan are on the cusp of being able to create human eggs and sperm in the lab from scratch, which would then develop in an artificial womb.

Professor Katsuhiko Hayashi, a Japanese scientist at Kyushu University who has already figured out the process in mice, believes he is just five years away from replicating the results in humans.

This is the other boom in super intelligence coming soon. Manipulating gametes will boost human IQs and other desirable traits above any human who has ever lived. This is a form of eugenics that does not involve killing people or depriving them of the right to produce offspring. People will be able to choose to breed the old way and produce offspring by Darwinian chance, or the new way and have their best genes mingled in a laboratory. It will also be possible to build even better outcomes by multigenerational manipulation of gametes. There is no way to stop technology like this and no reason to want to. Many social problems will cease to exist due to tech like this. ABN

Earth in hot water? Worries over sudden ocean warming spike

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

The world’s oceans have suddenly spiked much hotter and well above record levels in the last few weeks, with scientists trying to figure out what it means and whether it forecasts a surge in atmospheric warming.

Some researchers think the jump in sea surface temperatures stems from a brewing and possibly strong natural El Nino warming weather condition plus a rebound from three years of a cooling La Nina, all on top of steady global warming that is heating deeper water below. If that’s the case, they said, record-breaking ocean temperatures this month could be the first in many heat records to shatter.

From early March to this week, the global average ocean sea surface temperature jumped nearly two-tenths of a degree Celsius (0.36 degree Fahrenheit), according to the University of Maine’s Climate Reanalyzer, which climate scientists use and trust. That may sound small, but for the average of the world’s oceans — which is 71% of Earth’s area —to rise so much in that short a time, “that’s huge,” said University of Colorado climate scientist Kris Karnauskas. “That’s an incredible departure from what was already a warm state to begin with.”

Climate scientists have been talking about the warming on social media and amongst themselves. Some, like University of Pennsylvania’s Michael Mann, quickly dismiss concerns by saying it is merely a growing El Nino on top of a steady human-caused warming increase.

Other climate scientists, including National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration oceanographer Gregory C. Johnson, say it doesn’t appear to be just El Nino. There are several marine heat waves or ocean warming spots that don’t fit an El Nino pattern, such as those in the northern Pacific near Alaska and off the coast of Spain, he said.

“This is an unusual pattern. This is an extreme event at a global scale” in areas that don’t fit with merely an El Nino, said Princeton University climate scientist Gabe Vecchi. “That is a huge, huge signal. I think it’s going to take some level of effort to understand it.”

UPDATE: Note that St. Mann ‘quickly dismisses’ the new evidence. This is exactly what we have just seen with covid ‘science’ when authorities quickly dismissed, even ridiculed, early treatments including innocuous vitamin D3 while simultaneously promoting dangerous vaxxes. Similar layers of mind-control are determining our foreign policy in Ukraine, our open border, and the baleful rise of wokeness and urban crime. There is a pattern and it is pretty obvious and it is not beneficial to moral, clear-thinking, normally cooperative citizens. These are enemy ideas being used to destroy our nation state and civilization. ‘Our side’, the only side we have, is reason, real science, clear thinking, compassion and wisdom. This is a heavy burden for any population to carry, but carry it we must. There is no other way forward. ABN

Scandinavians are the earliest Europeans

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Scientists have sequenced a 37,000-year-old genome. The results show that present-day Scandinavians are the closest living relatives to the first people in Europe.

The study, which was recently published in Science, sheds entirely new light on who we are as Europeans.

“From a genetic point of view he’s an European,” says Professor Eske Willerslev, Director of the Centre for GeoGenetics at the University of Copenhagen, who was involved in the new study, and adds:

“Actually, he is closer to Danes, Swedes, Finns and Russians than to Frenchmen, Spaniards and Germans”.

Split happened within a 8.000 year gap

The new results reveal that the man is the oldest that we know of so far to genetically represent a separate line from the forebears of present-day Asians. This is decisive when it comes to dating one of the most important events in history.

“We can now date the separation time between Asians and Europeans,” says Professor Rasmus Nielsen from the University of Copenhagen and the University of California, Berkeley, who was also involved in the study.

He points out that the Kostenki genome sets a line 37,000 years ago. Here the lines must have split, while the 45,000-year-old genome from the recently discovered Ust’ Ishim in Siberia sets the limit in the other direction.

This gives the answer to one of the biggest questions in the history of mankind; scientists now know that it is within the 8000 year gap that Europeans and Asians went their separate ways.
