It seems that alarmists get their exercise mainly by jumping to conclusions. Using datasets as trampolines they make great leaps of faith, oftentimes turning reality upside down in the process.
The latest example is the mass media excitement and exaggerations concerning sea level rise. Just consider the listing from Google News Feb. 13:

Organizations give awards to recognize those individuals who best display the values that organization seeks to represent and uphold. The American Association for the Advancement of Science is the leading scientific organization in the United States.

Now that the excitement has died down over the news that Earth’s surface temperature made 2017 one of the hottest years on record, it is time for sober second thoughts.
Did the January 18 announcement by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that 2017 was our planet’s third-hottest year since 1880, and NASA’s claim that it was the second hottest year, actually mean anything?

Are you waiting for delivery—of your EV (electric vehicle)? Sorry to have to disappoint you (again).
As the main-stream media reported everywhere, the top Roadster model, modified, and complete with a mannequin behind the wheel together with its miniature relative, was just sent into a circum-solar trajectory—never to be seen again by potential eager buyers on this planet. But it is really fast, travelling at a speed of 6,864 miles/hour!

The Andromeda galaxy is actually roughly the same size as the Milky Way, and may not engulf our galaxy when it is expected to collide in about four billion years time, according to new research.
In other words, no, Andromeda is not the vastly larger sprawling galaxy we all thought it was.
A paper published earlier this week in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society calculated the velocity an object would need to travel in order to flee the gravitational grip of Andromeda. By measuring the escape velocity, scientists have recalculated the galaxy’s mass and size.

Dear MIT Climate Actors,
I, an MIT alum, was just looking at MIT’s so-called Climate Action Plan, particularly its advisory committee, to see if there were any skeptical climate scientists on it — science that doesn’t allow a diversity of opinions is not science.
Not only were there no skeptical climate scientists on it, there were no real climate scientists at all!

Skeptic climatologist, Dr Tim Ball – after his sensational courtroom victory over UN IPCC junk scientist and British Columbia Green Party Leader – now targets climate fraudster, Michael ‘hockey stick’ Mann. [Editor: Please DONATE today. We set up and coordinated Tim Ball’s legal defense fund and anticipate the need for your further support – see *APPEAL below this article]

One of the prime tenets of Electric Universe Theory is that electromagnetism dominates over gravity throughout the universe, given that 99{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} of all matter (ignoring the fictitious Dark Matter and Energy) is plasma and that electromagnetism is 39 orders of magnitude stronger than gravity.

U.S. corn states have actually experienced slightly cooler summers since the mid-20th century, according to a new study documenting how the regions bucked the overall global warming trend.
Scientists with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found the intensification of agriculture operations actually cooled Midwest regions from 1950 to 2009, showing the importance of local land-use in climatic changes.

After 3-week trial Canadian judge dismisses all charges in the lawsuit brought against Dr. Tim Ball by British Columbia Green Party leader Andrew Weaver. Climate skeptics are hailing the verdict as a key victory over extremists promoting human-caused global warming. Not a peep from the mainstream media!

Every object in the Universe that is radiating infra red is cooling down. Ergo the mighty Sun is cooling down as every molecule that is radiating infra red is also cooling down. The Earth also, this Planet on which we live, is radiating infrared, not so powerful as the infrared from the Sun, but powerful enough. Ergo the Earth ĺikewise is cooling down.

The rumor that Google has tuned its search algorithm to work against the skeptics of climate change alarmism appears to be true.
Searches on prominent skeptics systematically yield more negative attacks than positive information. This cannot be an accident. It may well be illegal, given Google’s deep financial interest in alarmism.

Injecting frightening scenarios into climate science reporting has seemingly become a prerequisite for publication. In a new Nature Geoscience editorial, a common scare tactic is utilized by the (unidentified) author so as to grab readers’ attention.

All explanations of interactions between photons, the alleged “particles” of which light consists, and other forms of matter particles rely on the Einsteinian assumption of a constant speed of light. In particular are the classical phenomenon of Compton Scattering and one rejected by mainstream cosmology – “tired light.”
Both have been cited, rightly or wrongly, as alternative mechanisms to cosmic expansion to explain the cosmological red-shift that characterizes the alleged “expanding universe.”

Under the current theory for light, it is alleged to have both wavelike and particle-like properties, called the “wave-particle duality.” One of the earliest experiments indicating the wavelike aspect was the “double-slit” experiment performed by Young in 1801 (graphic above).
At that time, it allegedly refuted Newton’s postulate of a particle nature to light in favor of light being purely a wave. Not until the discovery of the photoelectric effect a century later did light’s potential behavior as a particle become rejuvenated. This paper examines how the particle nature of light may be consistent with its wavelike behavior via analysis of the double-slit experiment from a particle perspective.

‘Ozone layer is not recovering over populated areas’, scientists warn; And so the UK’s The Guardian newspaper (February 6, 2018) spins more eco fake news. While the hole over Antarctica has been closing, the protective ozone is thinning at the lower latitudes, where the sunlight is stronger and billions of people live. (Be scared, will ya!)
So, what’s the truth behind it all?
