A study that claims global warming could harm barley production and raise beer prices.
So is beer on the decline? Probably not very much. That’s because the study’s headline-grabbing results rely on a global warming projection that’s increasingly been called into question by experts.
Last month, as TCW reported, BBC news director Fran Unsworth issued a formal directive stating, in effect, that alarmism is proven and may not be challenged on the BBC airwaves.
Now one of her key minions, James Stephenson, the BBC’s overall editor of news and current affairs, has appeared on the latest edition of BBC Radio 4’s Feedback to ram home the message.
Let me start by stating roundly that there is no such entity as a Global Temperature, so the idea that man can control a temperature that does not even exist is, simply put, Gibberish!
I know that this flies in the face of many scientists belonging to the Intercontinental Panel on Climate Change, who make great warnings that we must change our ways, and somehow restrict the rise of temperature to less that 2ºC., lest all sorts of terrible and unstoppable climatic events will happen within the next 12 years.
Everybody loves the Apocalypse. The idea of the end of the world, the more imminent the better, has always had enthusiastic popular support.
For as long as we’ve enjoyed life on this delightful Earth there has been a morose and righteous sect of one sort or another telling us the lease was nearly up, the doomsday bailiff coming any minute now to shut things down forever.
In the first 9½ months of 2018, 368 scientific papers have been published that cast doubt on the position that man-made CO2 emissions function as the climate’s fundamental control knob…or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related “consensus” positions commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources.
In Avengers: Infinity War, the villain Thanos said: “If life is left unchecked, life will cease to exist.”
Johns Hopkins University philosopher Travis N. Rieder apparently agrees as he views each new child as an environmental externality putting “irreparable stress on the planet” in a way that “exacerbates … the threat of catastrophic climate change.”
Similar ideas have been expressed by the likes of Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, and Bill Gates.
Medicinal cannabis oil will be available on prescription from next month, the Home Secretary has said today.
From November 1, UK laws will change to allow cannabis-based products for medicinal use to be prescribed in England, Scotland and Wales, according to a written statement from Sajid Javid.
Even though the latest UN IPCC report reveals that there is no evidence for increased severity of hurricanes, the fake news media relentless promotes the lie that storms are getting worse.
World-renowned skeptic climatologist Dr Tim Ball gives a no-nonsense radio interview to Canada’s CFRA radio host, Brian Lilley, to set the record straight.
So the very first sentence of the SR15 Summary for Policy Makers, after the Introduction, consists of a statement which is not well supported by the totality of the available scientific literature and which is at odds with the IPCC’s own findings in the AR5 Working Group 1 Report of just 5 years ago! Not a good start. —Climate Scepticism, 9 October 2018
Most commonly these days, the CCS acronym stands for: “Carbon Capture and Storage” – as you can surmise from the title above, I have a slightly different interpretation of “CCS.”
“Carbon” – whatever
Of course, all this nonsense of “Carbon” storage, etc. really refers to “carbon dioxide” and not to elemental carbon as in coal or diamonds, nor to carbon-containing fuels.
Neuroscientists have successfully hooked up a three-way brain connection to allow three people share their thoughts – and in this case, play a Tetris-style game. The team thinks this wild experiment could be scaled up to connect whole networks of people, and yes, it’s as weird as it sounds.
A new paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research documents “remarkably different” land temperatures from one instrumental dataset to another. In some regions, there is as much as a 0.8°C conflict in recorded temperature anomalies for CRU, NASA, BEST, and NOAA.
Assume for the sake of argument that everything environmentalists say about global warming is true. If that’s the case, then there is no chance of stopping it. That’s what’s the latest UN report on global warming clearly demonstrates.

Scientists proved it is possible to reduce the burden of damaged cells, termed senescent cells, and extend lifespan and improve health, even when treatment was initiated late in life.
The research is published in Nature Medicine involving University of Minnesota Medical School faculty Paul D. Robbins and Laura J. Niedernhofer and Mayo Clinic investigators James L. Kirkland and Tamara Tchkonia,
They now have shown that treatment of aged mice with the natural product Fisetin, found in many fruits and vegetables, also has significant positive effects on health and lifespan.
Vacuums make for good insulation because there are few collisions between molecules where heat can be transferred by conduction, which is a fast efficient way of transferring energy, and in gases it is primarily done by radiation, which is a slow inefficient means of transferring energy.
In its latest hysterical bulletin, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has urged that we need to spend $2.4 trillion a year between now and 2035 to avoid the potentially catastrophic consequences of ‘climate change.’
