We often hear how the climate is changing everywhere, like in California. Listening to the media we get the impression that the Golden State is drying out and risks burning up before heavy rains hit.

The new millenium is seeing revolutionary change in our understanding of carbon dioxide (CO2). Once the demon global warming gas, scientists are increasingly accepting they got that wrong. We examine some of the astonishing developments.

Evidence shows a disproportionate number of the wealthy and educated in society are refusing vaccinations for their children. Meanwhile, elitists, like Bill Gates, see vaccines as an important tool in population control.

The last few days, as temperatures dropped back down to the forties and we all pulled on our overcoats and scarves again, I was amused to hear the BBC call it ‘typical April weather’.

The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) is misleading the public by suggesting that global warming and its impacts are accelerating. In fact, since 2016 global average temperature has continued to decline.

Preface:  Historical facts are important but too many tend to forget historical facts or do not do a literature search to be sure that one knows everything about the topic before they expound upon it.

My major professor in graduate school suggested a possible thesis research project.  But when I did a literature search I found that what he proposed had already been done and its results reported.

One fellow climate blogger recently wrote on how he’s been looking at GHCN ‘unadjusted’ data and noticed that scientists at NASA appear to have been altering them: “This is a fairly disturbing development,” he wrote.

Wait for it, it will come: backlash from polar bear scientists for a statement by an Inuk bear safety guide in Labrador, reported by the CBC yesterday.

The guide said there are more polar bears now than there were 25 years ago based on the fact that he is seeing more bears and that more bears mean more trouble with bears, including attacks on people.

The Japanese Hayabusa-2 spacecraft is thought to have detonated an explosive charge on the asteroid it is exploring.

The idea was to create an artificial crater on the object known as Ryugu.

It’s nothing new. Landfill sites are filling up, faster than ever, with all kinds of debris. Just about everywhere. How did it come to that? Blame the “Greens” and the “Authorities.”

Why, you ask?

A new study maps out the increase and spread of the Asian longhorned tick, a new species identified last summer in Westchester and Staten island. What’s particularly alarming is that the tick is notorious for its ability to quickly clone itself through asexual reproduction, or reproduce sexually, laying 1,000-2,000 eggs at a time.

A new study by Williams et al appearing in the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics shows that the global warming hiatus of the early 21st century was in fact real.

A technology that removes carbon dioxide from the air has received significant backing from major fossil fuel companies.

California’s snowpack is officially 162% higher than average, the fourth-highest ever recorded, after state officials performed the annual measurement this week in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Close your eyes and relax. Daydream about something pleasant. In this state your brain is filled with “alpha waves,” a type of electrical brainwave associated with wakeful relaxation.

A European spacecraft has confirmed a report of methane being released from the surface of Mars.

The methane spike was first measured by Nasa’s Curiosity rover on the surface; now it has been confirmed by the Mars Express orbiter.
