At the same time, hundreds of feet inland and deep underwater where even remote-controlled submersibles cannot venture, the warming ocean is also chipping away huge swaths of Antarctica’s frosty underbelly. According to a new study published yesterday (April 2) in the journal Nature Geoscience, ice is receding deep below eight of Antarctica’s largest glaciers at an alarming rate — roughly five times faster than it should be. If this marine ice recession continues, it could lead to a total collapse of the world’s largest ice sheet, the study found. [Images of Melt: Earth’s Vanishing Ice]
“Our study provides clear evidence that retreat is happening across the ice sheet due to ocean melting at its base,”

In the search for extraterrestrial life, scientists have turned over all sorts of rocks. Mars, for example, has geological features that suggest it once had — and still has — subsurface liquid water, an almost sure prerequisite for life. Scientists have also eyed Saturn’s moons Titan and Enceladus as well as Jupiter’s moons Europa, Ganymede and Callisto as possible havens for life in the oceans under their icy crusts.
New study in the Journal of Physics, using a Hydide Earth model (HE) predicts production of gases at high depths. Considered factors were geoneutrino fluxes, temperature profiles of super deep boreholes and experimentally observed increase of the ocean temperature. [1]
Introduction: This post is concerned with the two main forms of UK Weather Dependent Renewable Energy in the UK, Wind Power, (Onshore and Offshore), and on grid Photovoltaic Solar Power. In the UK these amount to ~75{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of all installed Weather Dependent Renewable Energy. The other Renewable energy inputs are traditional Hydro power ~8{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} and the remainder are other sources such as biomass, waste and landfill gas amounting to ~17{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117}.

Health departments working with CDC’s Antibiotic Resistance (AR) Lab Network found more than 220 instances of germs with “unusual” antibiotic resistance genes in the United States last year, according to a CDC Vital Signs report released today.
Pioneering technology CityTree removes harmful particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide from the air with 275 times the air cleaning capability of a single tree, and taking up just 1% of the space compared to the real alternative. The pollution-absorbing innovation battles air pollution and heat in cities.
The slow fade of radioactive elements following a supernova allows astrophysicists to study them at length. But the universe is packed full of flash-in-the pan transient events lasting only a brief time, so quick and hard to study they remain a mystery.
(Natural News) Do you remember your encounters with static electricity, e.g. every single time you walked across the carpet and grabbed the doorknob? Researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) are unraveling the process with the hopes of turning it into an energy source, reported a Newswise article.
Earle et al (2018) recently urged action to tackle climate change this time because of ocean deoxygenation. According to the global warming theory, ocean deoxygenation is one not obvious but important indirect impacts of climate change on the oceans.
Many people sent me this article, and it’s worth looking at closely for what may be the real story here. Firstly, Lockheed’s portable fusion reactor is not new news. In fact, I blogged about this little device some years ago, here: THE LOCKHEED MARTIN FUSION STORY, E-CAT, AND SOME HIGH OCTANE ….
The EPA web site says according to Rutgers University, fall and winter snow cover is not increasing. “… fall and winter snow cover have remained fairly steady ….. Data source: Rutgers University Global Snow Lab, 2016”
This is clearly opposite of what you normally hear, but that is because we’re often just being told of one disaster after another – telling us how many events are happening.
Although a number of scientists are hollering that 2017 was “among the warmest on record”, we are not seeing any manifestation of this, at least over the Northern Hemisphere, where ironically snow and ice have shown surprising extents.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may have a boring name, but it has a very important job: It measures U.S. temperatures. Unfortunately, it seems to be a captive of the global warming religion. Its data are fraudulent.
