Winter started early this year. The first blizzard of the season in Montana broke a snow record with 30 inches during the first week of October, barely a few weeks into fall. In my state of Colorado too, with 11 inches of snow in Grand Mesa. Prompting the local CBS affiliate to proclaim, “The snow season is off to a big start in western Colorado!”
Temperature measurement stations have been installed at various locations across the globe. The number of temperature monitoring stations is decreasing and many areas across the globe do not have any temperature monitoring stations. Consequently, average surface temperature is an unreliable metric for assessing global temperature trends.

Think the Nobel prize for economics has nothing to do with you? In some years that may well be true. But this year’s award has gone to Richard Thaler who, in his book Nudge, was one of the first to outline how tiny prompts can alter our behaviour.
The argument about some inherent order to things is pretty convincing and, by extension, some Force which brings about Order in the Universe. The mathematical treatise by Rod Danz is a useful guide.
You can trace the extent of our reliance on air travel to many inventions. The jet engine, perhaps, or the aeroplane itself. But sometimes inventions need other inventions to unlock their full potential.
Only 17 years old and he is already a recognised scientist. Muhammad Shaheer Niazi’s research on electric honeycomb was recently published in the Royal Society Open Science journal.
It’s safe to say that the only people who still believe the ultra-alarmist scenarios of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research are the leftist media and green activists. Even the government funders of this institute know they aren’t really true. After all Germany hasn’t cut CO2 emissions in close to 10 years.
“is a figurative phrase that associates an instance of unfair trading with actual robbery. Not just any old robbery, but one so unashamed and obvious that it is committed in broad daylight.”
It fits the actions and procedures of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The first robbery was with the definition of climate change. Most believe they examine all causes of climate change, but they use Article 1 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)
Admittedly, “white privilege” is a very sensitive social and political topic. I would offer that such white privilege is discernible going back to the great Ice Ages.
More than 4,000 Americans were surveyed about the ever-increasing presence of robots in our daily lives, with over 70{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117} expressing concern over robots replacing humans.
There exists over a dozen different explanations of what the “greenhouse effect” hypothesis is exactly, explanations of just how an increase in the concentration of “greenhouse gases” in the atmosphere might cause the average temperature of surface-level air to increase.
Charles Keeling’s 1979 paper on the Seuss Effect is taken as the basis for Anthropogenic burning of fossil fuels causing global warming. The radiocarbon dating of tree rings has also been employed by Michael Mann to produce his infamous “hockey stick” of runaway global temperature.
Harvard University’s Naomi Oreskes and her post-doctoral fellow, Geoffrey Supran, are co-authors of a new, highly controversial study claiming that energy giant ExxonMobil purposefully misled the public on the dangers of climate change.
The period from 2000 to 2016 shows a modest warming trend that the advocates of the anthropogenic global warming theory have labeled as the “pause” or “hiatus.” The strong warming peak observed in 2015-2016, the “hottest year on record,” gave the impression that the temperature standstill stopped in 2014.
Global warming over the past 15 years suggests that climate models “are very likely flawed,” a group of Italian scientists claimed in a study.
The study comes amid mounting evidence that climate model predictions have increasingly diverged from real-world observations during the so-called “hiatus” in warming during the 21st century.
