Scientists have known for years that subglacial volcanoes and other geothermal “hotspots” are contributing to the melting of the Thwaites Glacier. Why did the BBC fail to mention these facts in its recent report?

Preface: We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves. (Galileo)

Intuitive knowledge keeps pace with accurate definition. (Louis Elzevir)

We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. (Einstein)

If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough. (Einstein)

Behold the Sun’s convulsing surface at a level of detail never seen before.

The Daniel K Inouye Solar Telescope on Hawaii has released pictures that show features as small as 30km across. This is remarkable when set against the scale of our star, which has a diameter of about 1.4 million km (870,000 miles) and is 149 million km from Earth.

Two weeks ago a Boeing 737 on final approach to Dire Dawa, Ethiopia, flew into a massive cloud of locusts swarming above the airport.

The insects were sucked into the plane’s engines and splattered across the windshield, blinding the pilots to the runway ahead.

The BBC runs – at our expense – probably the largest and best-resourced newsroom in the world.

So how is it using its journalistic muscle? Its latest ruse is to go into partnership with … Greenpeace.

Atlantic hurricane numbers fell sharply after 2005, the opposite of what alarmists had predicted.

When a few bad ones made landfall in 2017, rather than repeat their discredited claim of a scary increase, some alarmists claimed their so-called “translation speed” (their rate of crawling horizontally over land and ocean) would decrease, so each one that did make landfall would stay longer, dumping ever more water and being Worse Than Expected ^tm.

“In the previous epidemics, which turned out to be duds—West Nile, SARS, bird flu, Swine Flu, MERS, Zika, Ebola—there were people claiming the virus had been diabolically weaponized, it was spreading unchecked, and THIS WAS THE BIG ONE. If they had been right, we would not be here to discuss epidemics. We would all be dead. Of course, this history of duds gives these doomsayers no pause at all. They keep predicting THE END. They have miraculously short memories.” (Jon Rappoport, The Underground)

Until recently, those expressing skepticism about climate-change catastrophe have been hauled over the coals (or the renewables equivalent) for not understanding the difference between ‘climate’ and ‘weather.’

The deadly animal virus epidemic spreading globally may have originated in a Wuhan laboratory linked to China’s covert biological weapons program, according to an Israeli biological warfare expert.

“Climate change can seem like a distant problem, a speck on the horizon. It’s not. It’s a present and deadly reality.”

These words were recently printed by the Huffington Post.

“Common sense dictates that the economy undergo a massive restructuring away from fossil fuels to save lives. And a growing body of research shows that the only way to avoid catastrophic levels of climate change is to cease production of vast amounts of “unburnable” carbon.”

I would like to draw some blatant phoney baloney manipulation by NASA and all the Climate Crisis Alarmists, to everyone’s attention.  That being the graph above.

The official position of the American Meteorological Society is that the Sun does not create Earth’s weather or climate.

I present to you direct quotes and statements gathered during peer-review with the AMS and from the Bulletins of the AMS editorial board that their position is that the Sun does not create our climate on Earth!
