After all of the fuss about a couple of days of sunshine in Britain, reality brings us back down to earth with the monthly CET figures:

Boris Johnson has instructed government departments to devise a new fast-track visa system to attract leading scientists to work in the UK.

The PM plans to scrap the cap on “tier one” visas for highly skilled migrants – currently the limit is 2,000 a year.

Coca-Cola HBC, a bottler of The Coca-Cola company, reported a fall in profits blaming unseasonably wet and cold weather conditions in the second quarter.

We’re talking about record-breaking cold across an area almost half as big as the entire contiguous United States.

2 Aug 2019 – In a number of points in the north-east of the territory, the temperature dropped to record lows. In the capital of the Komi Republic, in Syktyvkar, it dropped to 2.7 degrees, which is 0.3 degrees lower than the previous record held since 1944.

After a few years, most of us begin to notice our smartphones have developed an inability to hold a charge like they used to. The fix used to be pretty simple, no worse than swapping a couple of AAs into the remote.

It’s becoming a joke all around the world — the EVs in Australia powered by dirty diesel. But what’s the difference?

Most EVs in Australia are running on fossil fuel — the generators are just hidden behind longer extension cords. (Ones that carry 240,000V). EVs on our grid are running on 80% of fossil fuels every day.

The element fluorine (with the chemical notation “F”) is in the crosshairs of many do-gooders these days.  That isn’t new but appears to have recently gained momentum.

For example, the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC), has recently called for a scientific meeting on the “Environmental Risk Assessment of PFAS,”  to take place at Durham, NC, on Aug. 12-15, 2019.

Everyone’s heart is different. Like the iris or fingerprint, our unique cardiac signature can be used as a way to tell us apart. Crucially, it can be done from a distance.

It’s that last point that has intrigued US Special Forces. Other long-range biometric techniques include gait analysis, which identifies someone by the way he or she walks.

A new Pew poll shows public trust is highest for scientists who openly release their data to public examination and lowest for fields like government climate research, notoriously reliant on ‘secret science.’

The climate is changing, and it has been changing for a very long time. In fact, the climate has always been changing, and there are a myriad of factors that influence climate change like solar activity and much more.

Ground zero for the impact that caused a Mars mega-tsunami  more than 3 billion years ago may have been found.

The meteor that spawned that ancient flood probably blasted out Lomonosov Crater, a 75-mile-wide (120 kilometers) hole in the ground in the icy plains of the Martian Arctic, a new study reports.

The splendiferous east coast of Tasmania never ceases to please with all its myriad landscapes.

So it was a little discombobulating to recently pass a sign planted hard against the flow of traffic following the serpentine track that threads the coastal communities, proclaiming ‘Climate Change Is Killing the Planet’.

The Southwest has always faced periods of drought. Most recently, from late 2011 to 2017, California experienced years of lower-than-normal rainfall.

El Niño is known to influence rain in the Southwest, but it’s not a perfect match.

Independent British climate researcher, Geraint Hughes, author of ‘Black Dragon: Breaking the Frizzle Frazzle of THE BIG LIE of Climate,’ has developed yet another experiment to prove CO2 is innocent of climate change.

I’ve always wondered why alarmists blame storms on climate change, but then go totally silent when storms are absent. Just weather?

Yesterday at WeatherBELL Analytics Saturday Summary video, 40-year veteran meteorologist Joe Bastardi focused on global tropical storm activity.

Climate alarmists continue to seek new vocabulary to express the apocalyptic urgency of their cause, with Time magazine now declaring that the Arctic is nearing a “point of no return,” thanks to global warming.
