Global warming scientists continue struggling to find an explanation for the nearly two-decade-long global warming pause that has taken hold of the planet since the late 1990s.
The most recent temperature spike was due to the natural El Nino event at the equatorial Pacific, and that has disappeared over the last months. Alarmists claim that the global temperature is still 0.5°C above normal, yet it’s been that way for the past 20 years!

Travelling into space in the future may become a challenge because of the amount of debris that’s currently orbiting the planet. It’s believed that there are currently around 600,000 pieces of space junk surrounding the Earth.
They measure anywhere between 1cm to 10cm wide and have become an increasing problem. It’s believed that at least one satellite a year is destroyed by coming into contact with space junk.

On Twitter December 28, President Trump wrote: “In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!”

Researchers say freezing moons – dubbed “Winter Wonderlands” – could support life on them due to their vast amounts of water and icy surfaces. This includes Saturn’s moon, Enceladus, that is covered in ice and snow.

It is a stunning, almost ghostly view of Saturn’s moon. NASA has revealed the incredible image, taken by the Cassini probe before it crashed into Saturn’s atmosphere in a ‘death dive’. Although the probe has now been destroyed, NASA is still regularly releasing images from its mission.

A weird propaganda blitz, widely publicised again last week, is trying to persuade us that the cost of power from wind farms has been “tumbling” so fast that wind has now replaced coal as our “cheapest” source of electricity.

This puts in context any claims that 20th-century warming is somehow unusual and alarming. It is not – it is business as usual for Earth’s climate.
Discoveries in the ice reveal our planet’s fluctuating, never static, climate history

During WW2 a macabre find was made 16,000 feet up in Indian mountains – a lake full of corpses. Later scientific analysis would date them to the 9th century AD – at the start of the Medieval Warm Period about 1000 years ago. They had been killed by large hail-stones.

It is very cold here in the Eastern US and the President is joking about the lack of global warming. More interesting by far is the fact that there appears to have been no CO2-induced warming in the last 40 years, which is as far back as the satellite measurements go.

This time next year, there may be a new world leader in lunar exploration. If all goes according to plan, China will have done something no other space-faring superpower has been able to do: land on the far side of the moon. China is rocketing ahead with its plans for lunar exploration.In 2018, they will launch a pair of missions known collectively as Chang’e 4. It is the fourth mission in a series named after the Chinese moon goddess.

Driverless cars may be a few years away, but in 2018 the automation levels of cars will quickly accelerate. We will experience something more like a driverless car for the first time and start to question their possible impact on our daily lives.

Image copyright: ANDREW SNYDERWhen herpetologist Andrew Snyder’s flashlight landed on something bright blue in the rainforests of Guyana, South America, he stopped and took a closer look. It turned out to be a blue tarantula of the Ischnocolinae subfamily, a species most likely unknown to science.

As parts of Canada are today reported to be colder than the North Pole, and as Minnesota and Mount Washington report record lows of minus 36 degrees centigrade, as the UK suffers under ice, snow and freezing rain we are still assailed from all sides by the cries of Anthropogenic or Man made Global Warming.

As we now sit in one of the coldest “chill waves” in America’s history, with NYC poised to break the record for the coldest New Year’s Eve ever, it’s noteworthy to recall how all the “climate change” experts used to be global warming alarmists.
