New Study: Global Warming Standstill Confirmed

Written by Benny Peiser

The period from 2000 to 2016 shows a modest warming trend that the advocates of the anthropogenic global warming theory have labeled as the “pause” or “hiatus.” The strong warming peak observed in 2015-2016, the “hottest year on record,” gave the impression that the temperature standstill stopped in 2014.

New Study: Greenhouse Gas Theory may need ‘deep re-examination’

Written by Michael Bastasch

Global warming over the past 15 years suggests that climate models “are very likely flawed,” a group of Italian scientists claimed in a study.

The study comes amid mounting evidence that climate model predictions have increasingly diverged from real-world observations during the so-called “hiatus” in warming during the 21st century.

Why Politicized Science is Dangerous

Written by Michael Crichton

Imagine that there is a new scientific theory that warns of an impending crisis, and points to a way out.

This theory quickly draws support from leading scientists, politicians and celebrities around the world. Research is funded by distinguished philanthropies, and carried out at prestigious universities. The crisis is reported frequently in the media. The science is taught in college and high school classrooms.

Climatism’s Earth Energy Budget Exposed

Written by Geraint Hughes

The Earths Energy budget? I was looking at and I started thinking to myself, “Is this someone’s idea of a bad joke or what?”

It is so ridiculously stupid it hurts, just to look at it. Anyone using it to make decisions is a Muppet and anyone who actually believes in any of the figures is an even bigger one.

Hubble observes the farthest active inbound comet yet seen

Written by astronomynow.com

This Hubble Space Telescope image shows a fuzzy cloud of dust, called a coma, surrounding the comet C/2017 K2 PANSTARRS (K2), the farthest active comet ever observed entering the solar system. Hubble snapped images of K2 when the frozen visitor was 1.5 billion miles from the Sun, just beyond Saturn’s orbit. Even at that remote distance, sunlight is warming the frigid comet, producing an 80,000-mile-wide coma that envelops a tiny, solid nucleus. Credit: NASA, ESA, and D. Jewitt (UCLA)

Massive Antarctic Iceberg Hid Ecosystem for 120,000 Years

Written by India Ashok

The massive one-trillion tonne iceberg that broke off in Antarctica in July, has just revealed a hidden ecosystem that was frozen for nearly 120,000 years. As the giant iceberg moves away from the Larsen C ice shelf in Antarctica and into the Wendell Sea, it is estimated to reveal around 2,240sq miles (5,800sq km) of seafloor with a hidden ecosystem, which scientists are now eager to study.

Nobel Chemistry Prize for method to visualise biomolecules

Written by Hannah Devlin and Nicola Davis

The Nobel prize in chemistry has been awarded to three scientists for developing a technique to produce images of the molecules of life frozen in time.

Jacques Dubochet, Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson will receive equal shares of the 9m Swedish kronor (£825,000) prize, which was announced by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm on Wednesday.

Sunken continent of Zealandia reveals thousands of fossil specimens

Written by John Sharman

Scientists have uncovered more than 8,000 fossils during an expedition to a lost, underwater continent in the Pacific Ocean. Drilling into the crust of Zealandia, thousands of feet below the surface, researchers discovered the remains of hundreds of species including pollen from land plants.

The land mass, on which New Zealand sits, was announced as the globe’s newest continent earlier this year. It spans 5,000,000 sq km and is a distinct geological entity, a landmark study declared in the summer.
