The Real Number of Deaths after the Chernobyl Catastrophe is More Than 300,000

The catastrophe and the information
      The Chernobyl catastrophe was the gravest industrial accident ever, and it was also the last great crime of the Soviet Communists. The explosion of the nuclear reactor on April 26, 1986 and the following fire made a part of Ukraine and Belarus uninhabitable, while contaminating large areas around the globe. Many people in the Soviet Union died or were wounded due to the disinformation and mismanagement on the side of the authorities; many people were exposed to fatal irradiation incidentally or during the cleaning operations. The Communist authorities, on all levels, denied the accident and left 50,000 inhabitants of Pripyat

After Twenty Years of Global Warming – the End of the Hoax or of Western Freedom?

      Human-caused Global Warming (HGW) has become one of the hot-button issues of the last twenty years. The subject, namely the influence of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere on Earth's surface temperature, is not a trivial one, falling into the domains of mathematics, physics, astronomy, chemistry, geology, and biology.

Twenty Years of Global Warming – Myths and Facts

      Human-caused Global Warming (GW) has been one of the most common headline-makers during the last twenty years.

Global Warming Confusion

      No dangerous human-caused warming happens, either locally or globally. The temperatures fluctuate at all locations and at all time scales, similarly as stock market index or any other magnitude dependent on many random parameters. For example, global temperatures fell from the 1940's through the 1970's; in the 17th century the temperatures were higher in Europe than today
