In the early 1990s, Robert W. Felix signed up for studies at the University of Washington. He spent the next eight years, full-time, researching and writing about the coming ice age. From RationalWiki: Ice Age Now Felix believes the reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles is imminent and that their reversal causes environmental cataclysms which lead into ice ages. One of his two websites is Ice Age Now, which is where he peddles this facet of his theory of everything. Ice Age Now is mostly dedicated to global warming denial, survivalism (better stock up on dry goods and fuel), conspiracy theories (he believes the government is covering up evidence of the coming ice age), and abiotic oil crankery. The sidebar is a long laundry list of denialist PRATTs, which makes it like Skeptical Science without the rebuttals. The "news" section seems to exist mostly to document any time at which a snowflake falls anywhere in the world (proof of the coming ice age!) and parrot whatever the latest denialist idiocy is, usually something from Piers Corbyn or Tim Ball. He also hawks his thoroughly "researched" books here. George Monbiot specifically debunked one of his claims, that 555 of 625 of the Earth's mountain glaciers are advancing.[ Felix is not affiliated with any university, scientific establishment, or corporation, and therein lies his strength. Untainted by institutional bias or conventional wisdom this architect turned author brings fresh insight to the study of the ice ages. Evolutionary Leaps Evolutionary Leaps is Felix's other site where he pushes a deranged (but somewhat original, at least) pseudoscientific version of evolution. He basically takes Stephen Jay Gould's ideas about punctuated equilibrium and shoehorns his Earth changes crankery into it. According to Felix, the pole shifts that cause ice ages are responsible for mass extinctions with one element of these events being fiery carbon nanodiamonds raining from the skies. That's where the abiotic oil crankery plays into his grand "theory." WorldNutDaily columnist Jerome Corsi occasionally makes guest posts on the subject. Felix claims evolution is driven by cosmic rays and other radiation in addition to these pole shifts. To do this, he draws on a number of old crank tomes (mostly Immanuel Velikovsky and some creationists) and fabricated "facts" and mixes it with generously cherry-picked and quote mined research done by actual evolutionary biologists, paleontologists, and archaeologists.
