The New York Times is pushing the theory that cold snaps are becoming more frequent because of global warming. However, many scientists disagree that global warming is making U.S. winters colder.

Danish Professor Henrik Svensmark is a leading physicist of cosmic radiation.
At the end of last year, he made a presentation at the 12th International Climate Conference in Munich, where he demonstrated that the climate is indeed modulated in large part by cloud cover, which in turn is modulated by solar activity in combination with cosmic rays.

Preface: Elzevirs, the publisher of Galileo Galilei’s book, Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences, wrote a preface to the readers of this book. In it one can read (as translated by Henry Crew and Alfonso de Salvio, 1914): For, according to the common saying, sight can teach more and with greater certainty in a single day than can precept even though repeated a thousand times; or, as another says, intuitive knowledge keeps pace with accurate definition.

Readers of this column will know all about the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) by now. The CFR’s influence in setting Washington’s foreign policy agenda was once derided as “conspiracy theory.”
But, as is often the case, that “conspiracy theory” is now a simple truism that is openly joked about by the conspirators themselves.What you may not know, however, is that the CFR is in fact a branch of a slightly older, slightly less-known organization: the Royal Institute of International Affairs.

Enormous glaciers in Greenland are depositing ever larger chunks of ice into the Atlantic ocean, where it melts.

Canadian astrophysicist Joseph E Postma gives a stunning youtube video interview exposing the greatest error in modern science.
The greenhouse gas theory is based on a false premise that Earth has an average temperature obtained by simply assuming our planet is a flat surface that is lit by a dim sun that provides sunlight too weak to melt ice. Isn’t that stupid?

You can basically consider the following book as having come from my mind. You will note that there are many quotations and some subject matter which is the same, but this book extends upon the underlying theme of my own book:
