Depending on who you ask at Gothamist, summer either sucks or is the most delightful time of the year. What’s not up for debate, though, is that right now this city feels hotter than, say, a wide-open field upstate.

The latest fake heatwave news from the BBC:

Extremely hot weather has started to hit most of the United States, with temperatures set to peak over the weekend, meteorologists say.

The heatwave could affect about 200 million people in major cities like New York, Washington, and Boston in the East Coast, and the Midwest region too.

It’s that time of year again — summer — when the weather/climate charlatans try to scare us into believing that because we are having the annual heat wave, global warming is real and the world will surely end by next summer (by which time you’ll have forgotten last summer).

A research team led by U.S. and Korean scientists deployed three moorings with hydrophones attached seaward of the Nansen Ice Shelf in Antarctica’s Ross Sea in December of 2015 and were able to record hundreds of short-duration, broadband signals indicating the fracturing of the ice shelf.

We’ve made it to mid-July and we are just now having our first major heatwave of the season here in the United States.

A massive ridge of high pressure has built-in over the southeast, which is dominating weather conditions almost everywhere east of the Rockies (Figure 1).¹

Abstract.  This paper reviews the alleged Allais Effect, i.e., anomalous behavior of pendulums or gravimeters sometimes observed during a total solar eclipse.

With the Moon in a direct line between the Earth and Sun, the potential for an additional gravitational perturbation is examined as a possible contributor to the effect.

The Rockefellers were just getting started with their eugenics plan back in the early 1900s, and by the time the 1960s rolled around, they were full steam ahead with their population control agenda – including the development of anti-fertility vaccines for both men and women.

If you follow the subject of global warming alarm, you will have read many times that there is a “consensus” of “97% of climate scientists” on — well, on something.

Today the Buluus glacier is as packed with visitors as the only official beach in Yakutsk, the world’s largest city built on permafrost.

I had Scotch Broth for lunch yesterday, under the watchful eye of wifey. First I cut three slices of bread and buttered them. Then I poured the can into the saucepan and put it on the gas hob. I turned the gas on and made sure it ignited.

                On Friday 19 October, 1934, the passenger plane Miss Hobart fell from the sky to the sea.

Eight men, three women and a baby boy fell with her, swallowed – it’s believed – by the waters of the Bass Strait that lies between Tasmania and mainland Australia.

This year, the fear mongering about measles has reached epidemic proportions in America.

A day doesn’t go by without media outlets publishing angry articles and editorials spewing hatred toward a tiny minority of parents with unvaccinated children, who are being blamed for measles outbreaks.

 

It has been more than 10 days since southern California was hit by the two largest earthquakes that the state has experienced in decades, and yet the shaking refuses to stop.

Whenever NASA GISS announces how recent global temperatures are much hotter than, for example, 100 years ago, just how statistically reliable are such statements?

Most will agree, based mainly on sundry observations, that today is indeed warmer than it was when surface temperatures began to be recorded back in 1880.

Fifty years ago, Apollo XI was on its way to the moon. It was one of the greatest scientific achievements in history.

America’s pioneers in space were “steely-eyed missile men;” a term they devised that meant no-nonsense, quick-thinking, objective problem solvers.
