Preface: Elzevirs, the publisher of Galileo Galilei’s book, Dialogues Concerning Two New Sciences, wrote a preface to the readers of this book. In it one can read (as translated by Henry Crew and Alfonso de Salvio, 1914): For, according to the common saying, sight can teach more and with greater certainty in a single day than can precept even though repeated a thousand times; or, as another says, intuitive knowledge keeps pace with accurate definition.

Another major headline-grabbing climate study suggesting oceans have warmed faster than previously thought is full of “factual errors and misleading statements,” according to independent scientist Nic Lewis.

It’s worse than we thought, says the Guardian:
Greenland is melting faster than scientists previously thought, with the pace of ice loss increasing four-fold since 2003, new research has found.
Enormous glaciers in Greenland are depositing ever larger chunks of ice into the Atlantic ocean, where it melts.

Canadian astrophysicist Joseph E Postma gives a stunning youtube video interview exposing the greatest error in modern science.
The greenhouse gas theory is based on a false premise that Earth has an average temperature obtained by simply assuming our planet is a flat surface that is lit by a dim sun that provides sunlight too weak to melt ice. Isn’t that stupid?

Readers of this column will know all about the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) by now. The CFR’s influence in setting Washington’s foreign policy agenda was once derided as “conspiracy theory.”
But, as is often the case, that “conspiracy theory” is now a simple truism that is openly joked about by the conspirators themselves.What you may not know, however, is that the CFR is in fact a branch of a slightly older, slightly less-known organization: the Royal Institute of International Affairs.

Here is the most important takeaway fact: Earth Cannot Be Warmed by Its Own Radiation.
Greenhouse-warming theory assumes that mean global surface temperatures rise when greenhouse gases in Earth’s atmosphere absorb infrared radiation from Earth. This rise in temperature is thought to be a few degrees Celsius when the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is doubled.
