Scientists say one of the deadliest plagues in history may be linked to the migration westward of the Hun peoples. The Justinian Plague, which struck in 541 AD, may have killed as many as 25 million.

Years ago, Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. explained why sea surface temperatures (SST) were the best indicator of heat content gained or lost from earth’s climate system. Enthalpy is the thermodynamic term for total heat content in a system, and humidity differences in air parcels affect enthalpy.

The revelation this week that CO2 had just reached 410 ppm is just the most recent negative climate “tipping point” being reached.
This news was accompanied by the usual links to future apocalyptic warming events and predictions of the Earth spiraling into planetary doom.

Up until December of 2004, the phenomena of tsunami was not on the minds of most of the world’s population. That changed on the morning of December 24, 2004 when an earthquake of moment magnitude 9.1 occurred along the oceanic trench off the coast of Sumatra in Indonesia.

Most, if not all, large craters in North America are said to be the remains of asteroid impacts. In fact, it was an asteroid impact that is thought by consensus geologists to be the event that wiped-out the dinosaurs, although that idea is no longer as hard and true as it once was.

Mainstream astrophysicists claimed “yet another definitive proof of Einstein’s relativity” when the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) allegedly detected gravity waves from merging binary black holes on September 14, 2015, including even more gravity waves from merging binary neutron stars on August 17, 2017.

OVER the years, TV naturalist Sir David Attenborough has wowed us all with that mesmerising voice narrating epic visuals of all things nature. Aesthetics aside, and not doubting the man’s intelligence, Attenborough persists in parroting easily demolished propaganda about the threat of ‘climate change’.

Americans who are skeptical about climate change engage in personal behavior that is more friendly to the environment than climate alarmists, who support increased government regulation, a new study has found.

Every day there is new evidence of the success of the original and largest of the Fake News – Deep State stories. This is the claim that human-produced carbon dioxide (CO2) is causing dangerous global warming, also referred to as ‘anthropogenic global warming’ (AGW).

What has already been a stressful week for Elon Musk – which started with his now legendary conference call meltdown and promptly deteriorated from there – is about to turn even less pleasant, because one day after two teens were killed in a “horrific” Model S crash in Ft. Lauderdale, when the two 18-year-olds died after being trapped in the burning vehicles, the NTSB is launching an investigation into this incident.

At Die kalte Sonne site here, geologist Dr. Sebastian Lüning and Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt comment on the controversy surrounding allegations of Big Oil “covering up” knowledge of the impacts their products could have on climate.
For example on April 16, 2018, renowned German weekly Spiegelreported on how “a confidential Shell study” showed the oil company “kept knowledge over climate change secret” and how “Shell knew already in detail 30 years ago about the greenhouse gas effect – and decided to keep silent.”

Every 405,000 years, gravitational tugs from Jupiter and Venus slightly elongate Earth’s orbit, an amazingly consistent pattern that has influenced our planet’s climate for at least 215 million years and allows scientists to more precisely date geological events like the spread of dinosaurs, according to a Rutgers-led study.

Glaciers and climate — The Norwegian Glacier Museum
The Norwegian Glacier Museum claims an incredible climate sensitivity of 8°C per 100 PPM CO2, or 1°C per 10 PPM CO2. Through burning of coal and petroleum products mankind has increased the amount of carbon dioxide as much as the natural difference between ice ages and interglacials, which is the equivalent to 8 °C.

Toxic gasses are spewing from Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island, as new fissures form and thousands are forced to flee.
The Hawaii Fire Department on Saturday reported extremely dangerous air quality conditions due to high levels of sulfur dioxide gas in the evacuation area of Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens. Elderly, young, and people with compromised respiratory systems are especially vulnerable, officials say.

The far reaches of the outer solar system may be home to an icy giant — a hypothetical planet scientists have dubbed “Planet Nine.”
Meanwhile, archives back on Earth are home to dozens of medieval records documenting the passage of comets through the heavens. Now, two researchers from Queen’s University Belfast in Northern Ireland are hoping to use these old scrolls and tapestries to solve the modern astronomical mystery of Planet Nine.
