Climate alarmists frequently claim that rising atmospheric CO2 and rising global temperatures are “twin evils” to the environment. If left unchecked, they say their unfettered increases will alter and destroy habitats and potentially lead to the extinction of untold species of plants and animals. But how realistic are such concerns?

It appears that the melt season has just about finished on the Greenland ice cap, and for the second year running ice accumulation has been way above normal.

Image copyright B VIOLA, MPI-EVAOnce upon a time, two early humans of different ancestry met at a cave in Russia. Some 50,000 years later, scientists have confirmed that they had a daughter together.
DNA extracted from bone fragments found in the cave show the girl was the offspring of a Neanderthal mother and a Denisovan father.

YouTube just added an “information panel” to all my videos about climate change. We at Stossel TV do weekly videos on many controversial topics, but apparently, YouTube thinks climate change is special.

As the heat and drought peaked across northern Europe in early August, the media became chock-full of climate doom stories of how the heat and drought were all sure signs of a tipping planet, always citing the ever-reliable doomsday scientists.

When people talk of the Earth what they are usually referring to is the very thin layer that we are familiar with. The Earth is not the just the upper layer of the crust and the troposphere but is the entire system consisting of the entire atmosphere and the entire solid Earth.
When they speak of the Earth radiating heat they are thinking of heat loss from the surface of the planet. This is wrong because the surface of the Earth is the coolest part of it.

Image copyright NASAScientists say they have definitive evidence for water-ice on the surface of the Moon. The ice deposits are found at both the north and south poles, and are likely to be ancient in origin.
The result comes from an instrument on India’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, which explored the Moon between 2008 and 2009.

A new study led by scientists from the University of Bristol has used a combination of genomic and fossil data to explain the history of life on Earth, from its origin to the present day.
Palaeontologists have long sought to understand ancient life and the shared evolutionary history of life as a whole.

Titled ‘Unmasking Climaclownology’ this 22-minute video takes viewers through various examples of historic climate change where it is proven modern day ‘global warming’ is neither exceptional or outside of what constitutes natural variation.

The rising popularity of electric vehicles and other technology caused a surge in demand for cobalt, a metal that is mostly found in Africa, where miners are reportedly working in horrific conditions.
The growing market for electric-powered automobiles, smartphones, and other high-tech devices have made for unintended consequences halfway around the world.

“How Waters multi-layered sub-surface absorbance coupled with its skin surface emissivity & evaporation acts to raise average equilibrium temperatures above standard black body calculations.”
The “Watery Planet Effect” is the true effect which is occurring on planet Earth, which explains why the experienced average temperature differs from the standard black body calculated average temperature of 255K, with an emissivity of 1 and a solar absorptivity of 0.7 (0.3 Albedo). (A / E Ratio of 0.7) rather than some “fictitious” greenhouse effect.
