Artist’s impression of something that wasn’t spotted this week
Astronomers have spotted an object that they believe came from another star system.
The 400-meter-wide object – dubbed A/2017 U1 – was first spotted on October 19 after it slingshotted around the Sun. Analysis of its trajectory suggests it passed beneath Earth’s orbit by about 24 million kilometers on October 14. Whatever it is, it’s moving: boffins have clocked it at 44 kilometers per second.

Now that the temperature maximum of the 1000-year cycle has been reached over the past two decades, a new global cooling phase can be expected — as has been the case over the past 8000 years. Why would the natural cycles just suddenly give up?
With weary inevitability, the BBC has decided that it is going to issue an apology after a sceptic – Nigel Lawson in this case – was allowed a rare opportunity to state their case on the airwaves. This is starting to be something of a ritual for the corporation.
Huge efforts are already underway to establish a human colony on Mars, but one of the biggest obstacles is creating a sustainable oxygen supply to support life on the Red Planet.
Researchers have somewhat disturbingly claimed that psychopaths can actually benefit society.
Experts at the University of Plymouth concluded that, despite their violent tendencies, psychos can make the difficult decisions that others may struggle with. The team carried out tests to see if people would sacrifice one person to save a larger group if they had the choice.
AN excellent ‘re-education’ piece by Robert Lyman via Friends Of Science Calgaryon the politically demonised gas of life – CO2 (Carbon Dioxide).
OUR children are being scandalously indoctrinated in the classroom to believe that colourless, odourless, tasteless trace-gas and plant food CO2 is a “pollutant.” THE Obama administration’s EPA even declared, by law, CO2 (your own breath) a “pollutant:”
Many governments are promoting a move away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources. However, in a new study published, scientists highlight some of the ecological dangers this wave of ‘green’ energy poses.
Yesterday at Weatherbell Analytics at his Daily Update, meteorologist Joe Bastardi pointed out a topic that particularly fascinated me, and which I think is very important: the urban heat island effect (UHI).
A Growing Volume Of Evidence Undercuts ‘Consensus’ Science. During the first 10 months of 2017, 400 scientific papers have been published that cast doubt on the position that anthropogenic CO2 emissions function as the climate’s fundamental control knob…or that otherwise question the efficacy of climate models or the related “consensus” positions commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media.
IARC, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, is a mighty battleship ready to wage war against any government agency, company or science communicator that gets in its way. But as it has recently received several torpedo direct hits, its captain, Christopher Wild has ordered his ship straight into a battle likely to sink the entire agency. Respectable scientists have mutinied, a militant skeletal crew remains and has upped its propaganda. It seems they are considering a last-ditch ramming attack that will bring down the reputation of all regulatory science with them. –David Zaruk, Risk Monger, 23 October 2017
One Nation Senator Malcolm Roberts has demanded an independent inquiry into the Bureau of Meteorology after leveling the extraordinary allegation that the organization has interfered with climate data.
One of the signs that we are on the cusp of the Next Grand Minimum is an increase in the number late spring frosts and early on set of winter frost and snow.

The annual assessment of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) confirms that CO2 emissions have stalled for the third year in a row.
