A few points apparently missing from the discussion. First, the Too Big To Jail Banks ( like Goldman Sachs) want global warming ideas to be true because they want to parasitically feed off of carbon trading Markets. Nuclear power has a financial interest, too – so it’s not all ‘Exxon’ on one

What happens to a photon in a strong magnetic field is solved by classical (Maxwell,s) theory I believe. Axil’s ENP’s may be nothing more that strong magnetic lines of force. Such lines of force may be enhanced by ferromagnetic material and/or directed in certain directions in Rossi’s
