On Twitter December 28, President Trump wrote: “In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!”
This time next year, there may be a new world leader in lunar exploration. If all goes according to plan, China will have done something no other space-faring superpower has been able to do: land on the far side of the moon. China is rocketing ahead with its plans for lunar exploration.In 2018, they will launch a pair of missions known collectively as Chang’e 4. It is the fourth mission in a series named after the Chinese moon goddess.
Late for a party? Miss a meeting? Forget to pay your rent? Blame climate change; everyone else is doing it. From an increase in severe acne to all societal collapses since the beginning of time, just about everything gone wrong in the world today can be attributed to climate change. Here’s a list of 100 storylines blaming climate change as the problem.
The advances of technology have managed to change the world and the way we live today. Studies and research in the field of medicine and technology with the use of nanobots represents a new field that opens the future to the treatments that can extend life expectancy by far.
Researchers say freezing moons – dubbed “Winter Wonderlands” – could support life on them due to their vast amounts of water and icy surfaces. This includes Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, that is covered in ice and snow.
But because of its surface, life can be protected from ultraviolet radiation and cosmic rays making it habitable. A spokesperson for Warwick University’s Centre for Exoplanets and Habitability said: “Life could be supported on moons of ice and snow with vast oceans under their frozen surfaces, orbiting Jupiter and Saturn.
Driverless cars may be a few years away, but in 2018 the automation levels of cars will quickly accelerate. We will experience something more like a driverless car for the first time and start to question their possible impact on our daily lives.
It is a stunning, almost ghostly view of Saturn’s moon. NASA has revealed the incredible image, taken by the Cassini probe before it crashed into Saturn’s atmosphere in a ‘death dive’. Although the probe has now been destroyed, NASA is still regularly releasing images from its mission.

When herpetologist Andrew Snyder’s flashlight landed on something bright blue in the rainforests of Guyana, South America, he stopped and took a closer look. It turned out to be a blue tarantula of the Ischnocolinae subfamily, a species most likely unknown to science.
A weird propaganda blitz, widely publicised again last week, is trying to persuade us that the cost of power from wind farms has been “tumbling” so fast that wind has now replaced coal as our “cheapest” source of electricity.
As parts of Canada are today reported to be colder than the North Pole, and as Minnesota and Mount Washington report record lows of minus 36 degrees centigrade, as the UK suffers under ice, snow and freezing rain we are still assailed from all sides by the cries of Anthropogenic or Man made Global Warming.
This puts in context any claims that 20th-century warming is somehow unusual and alarming. It is not – it is business as usual for Earth’s climate.
Discoveries in the ice reveal our planet’s fluctuating, never static, climate history
By Ptolemy2
During WW2 a macabre find was made 16,000 feet up in Indian mountains – a lake full of corpses. Later scientific analysis would date them to the 9th century AD – at the start of the Medieval Warm Period about 1000 years ago. They had been killed by large hail-stones.
As we now sit in one of the coldest “chill waves” in America’s history, with NYC poised to break the record for the coldest New Year’s Eve ever, it’s noteworthy to recall how all the “climate change” experts used to be global warming alarmists.
“It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a UFO, it’s a virus from outer space.”
My previous article detailed: cooking up fake threats of viruses from outer space. This could be the next “UFO disclosure” coming on the heels of recent Pentagon reports of alien craft in the skies.
In my previous essay, Chance Favors The Prepared Mind, I did not end up with the specific topic I intended when I started. So, to keep this essay on the straight and narrow I note the destination in the title. But we begin with the prepared mind referred to by Louis Pasteur.
A blast of Arctic air brought temperatures in the city of International Falls, Minn., down to a new record low of -36 degrees Fahrenheit on Wednesday morning, beating out a nearly century-old record.
International Falls is known as the “ice box of the nation” because the town experiences a high of 32 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 100 days throughout a typical year. The previous record cold for the city was -32 degrees in 1924, but now that’s been shattered, the National Weather Service reported.
Astronomers are in for a treat as 2018 gets under way, with the arrival of a blue moon at the end of January. According to tradition, when two full moons appear in the same calendar month the second is termed a “blue moon”.
It is the celestial phenomenon that gave rise to the phrase “once in a blue moon”. The last one took place back in July 2015 . Even though it is called a blue moon, there’s no colour change in store for our lunar neighbour. The moon won’t suddenly appear with a blueish tinge.
