SPOTLIGHT: A can of soup isn’t as innocent as it might seem.

BIG PICTURE: According to the low-fat dietary advice we’ve all received, tinned tomato soup is positively virtuous. The nutritional labeling on the three brands stocked by my local grocer reveal that even if I consume an entire can on a blustery winter’s day, my fat intake will be less than 4 grams. Hardly worth mentioning.

Everyone knows (or ought to): Everything is getting better all the time. That’s certainly true in spring or early summer, when nature re-awakens after a long and cold winter but, just perhaps, not all the time.

New study finds that elevated CO2 mitigates the effects of extreme drought on multiple grassland functions.

Most CO2 enrichment studies typically examine the individual impacts of rising atmospheric CO2 on plant growth. Few are the studies that examine the interactive effects of CO2 with other growth-impacting variables, such as temperature, moisture or light.

A new, stable artificial photosynthesis device doubles the efficiency of harnessing sunlight to break apart both fresh and salt water, generating hydrogen that can then be used in fuel cells. The device could also be reconfigured to turn carbon dioxide back into fuel.

Independent researcher, Steve Crothers presents a new Youtube video exposing mainstream cosmology’s contradictory equations about blackhole escape velocity and demonstrates why event horizons do not exist

The US Department of Energy’s Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (CDIAC) says that mankind is responsible for the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide since the year 1850.

Climate Aristocrats and Bureaucrats from 190 nations are meeting in Bonn, dreaming up rules “to prevent the globe from warming more than 2°C”.

Scientists say one of the deadliest plagues in history may be linked to the migration westward of the Hun peoples. The Justinian Plague, which struck in 541 AD, may have killed as many as 25 million.

Every day there is new evidence of the success of the original and largest of the Fake News – Deep State stories. This is the claim that human-produced carbon dioxide (CO₂) is causing dangerous global warming, also referred to as ‘anthropogenic global warming’ (AGW).

Years ago, Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. explained why sea surface temperatures (SST) were the best indicator of heat content gained or lost from earth’s climate system.  Enthalpy is the thermodynamic term for total heat content in a system, and humidity differences in air parcels affect enthalpy.

What has already been a stressful week for Elon Musk – which started with his now legendary conference call meltdown and promptly deteriorated from there – is about to turn even less pleasant, because one day after two teens were killed in a “horrific” Model S crash in Ft. Lauderdale, when the two 18-year-olds died after being trapped in the burning vehicles, the NTSB is launching an investigation into this incident.

The revelation this week that CO2 had just reached 410 ppm is just the most recent negative climate “tipping point” being reached.

This news was accompanied by the usual links to future apocalyptic warming events and predictions of the Earth spiraling into planetary doom.

At Die kalte Sonne site here, geologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt comment on the controversy surrounding allegations of Big Oil “covering up” knowledge of the impacts their products could have on climate.

For example on April 16, 2018, renowned German weekly Spiegelreported on how “a confidential Shell study” showed the oil company “kept knowledge over climate change secret” and how “Shell knew already in detail 30 years ago about the greenhouse gas effect – and decided to keep silent.”
