The Energy Story - Chapter 3: Resistance and Static Electricity
Around 600 BCE (Before the Common Era) Greeks noticed a strange effect: When rubbing "elektron" against a piece of fur, the amber would start attracting particles of dust, feathers and straw.

The fiddling with temperature data is the biggest science scandal ever - Telegraph
Again, in nearly every case, the same one-way adjustments have been made, to show warming up to 1 degree C or more higher than was indicated by the data that was actually recorded. In each instance, the actual trend of 60 years of data had been dramatically reversed, so that a cooling trend was changed to one that showed a marked warming

He estimates only about 15 percent of NEOs of 140 meters or larger have been discovered, acknowledging that the program will not meet the Congressionally mandated goal of finding 90 percent of these asteroids by 2020.

The Secret Sun
http://secretsun.blogspot.com/According to the emerging conspiracy theory, NASA embarked on the New Horizons project two years after the 1988 publication revealed the existence of Planet X. Sure, looking at Pluto is interesting, but at this point in time you have to assume that there is a compelling reason for this kind of mission, and it doesn't include looking at a bunch of rocks and ice
This can only be extracted via the equally painstaking and difficult work of excavating and identifying millions of fossils from the almost endless rock strata.
