In the final days of 2019, there is much to reflect upon events of the past year and, with the closing of the second decade of the 21st century, much to reflect upon how climate change alarmism has itself alarmingly morphed into something much more dangerous, visceral, urgent, ideologically driven and immediate as regards public perception and societal impact.

The Constellation Orion may look very different soon if astronomers are right about the giant star Betelgeuse which marks the starry hunter’s right shoulder.

Ever hear of the Big Lie Theory? The CO2 greenhouse warming theory is a gigantic scientific hoax with ulterior purposes.

It originated back in the 19th century when understanding of thermodynamics was still primitive and atmospheric CO2 levels were low.

(somewhat tongue-in-cheek) If you are thinking about making New Year’s Resolutions (NYRs) to soothe your conscience, I suggest you venture from the beaten path. Pumping iron and exercising on the old treadmill type resolutions never last long before being forgotten and postponed for another year.

Global warming is a globalist agenda, a fear issue that puts nationalistic boundaries away and makes everyone come together to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.

Still no end to the nonsense spewed by government-funded American university ‘researchers’ about climate change. Here is the latest demented offering – enjoy:

If high carbon emissions continue, babies born in the United States could lose a collective 250,000 days of gestation annually by the end of the century. That’s the conclusion of the most extensive analysis to date of how extreme heat affects the timing of childbirth, published yesterday in Nature Climate Change.

The Mahout, the Elephant and the Path. The mahout represents the rational and reasoned. If the mahout clearly understands where he needs to go he’ll direct his charge that way. The elephant represents the subconscious.

It seems incredible that the subconscious mind was first postulated by Sigmund Freud.  If you are elderly it is likely that your grandparents imagined that the entire content of their mind was accessible to conscious contemplation.

The National Capital on Saturday recorded its coldest day of the season as the minimum temperature plummeted to 2.4 degrees Celsius in the morning, officials said.

Dense fog enveloped the city reducing visibility and affecting air traffic and vehicular movement in the streets.

Ingolstadt-today.de reports here on Professor Dr. Jörg Wellnitz from the Technical University in Ingolstadt calling the future of electric cars a “pointless dream”, an opinion shared by many other experts.

The Alarmist’s newest Saint, Greta Thunberg, “informed” us during a now-famous speech she gave at the U.N. Climate Action Summit in NYC.

“You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I’m one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you.”

On December 4, 2019 Hans Schreuder, scientist and renowned independent climate researcher, passed away while on a visit to Thailand.

Best known as the co-founder of the ‘Slayers’ – a rising force in the climate debate who insist CO2 is not our climate’s control knob and likely cools, not warms the atmosphere.

On December 23, 1947, three researchers at Bell labs demonstrated a new device to colleagues. The device, a solid-state replacement for the audion tube, represented the pinnacle of the quest to provide amplification of electronic communication.

Social Justice Education in America is a comprehensive examination of the inner workings of social justice advocates at more than 60 universities and how they have insinuated themselves into the university system to propagandize students.

Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) was a Swedish scientist who first claimed that the burning of hydrocarbons like coal, oil, gas, peat, and wood may cause global warming.

In 1895, he calculated (incorrectly) that a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration would lead to a 4-5^o C rise in global temperature.
