On September 1 2017, a massive asteroid measuring roughly 2.8 miles wide skimmed past Earth at just 4.4 million miles away, or 18 times the distance between our planet and the moon.

There are around 3000 wind turbines across Scotland, many of them close to individual homes and villages.
Similar symptoms such as loss of balance, nausea, loss of coordination, a pressure in the ear, thumping in the head or chest, epistaxis (high volume nosebleeds) are reported from some people living in close proximity to these turbines (also at many wind farms in the UK and elsewhere).

Blöschl et al (2017, ref 1) published a paper in Science that purports to show flooding in S England occurs every year but only ever in January and that flooding is disconnected in time from extreme rainfall events via water storage in soils. The changing pattern with time is ascribed to man-made climate change and implications for insurance were highlighted by the Financial Times.

Strange goings on onboard Pen Hadow’s little expedition. You may recall what he said when he announced on Aug 30th they were turning back south:

One of the most powerful X-ray machines ever built has officially opened in the German city of Hamburg. The facility, which has cost more than a billion euros to build, will be used to study the detailed structure of matter, atom by atom.

Way back in February, Global Weather Oscillations (GWO) veteran meteorologist David Dilley predicted that the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season would be “the most dangerous and costliest in 12 years for the United States.”

A manta ray mothership, eel-like drones and fish-shaped torpedoes… not things from a sci-fi movie but visions of the Royal Navy submarines of the future.

Again and again, our sympathies, donations, and support for the victims of hurricane Harvey should be foremost in everyone’s mind. But let’s pause and reflect as the climate hysterics are at it again.

Internet of Things has started to impact every aspect of our daily lives. Our appliances, cars, gadgets, communication devices, tools, and even some of our clothing have become nodes on the internet.

BEIJING, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) — China lifted an average of 13.9 million people out of poverty each year from 2012 to 2016, and the annual per capita income in impoverished rural areas has grown 10.7 percent every year, according to a report from the State Council Tuesday.

On the international stage, there are few things more frightening to the world at large than the looming possibility of nuclear war.

Australia is a large continent in the Southern Hemisphere. The temperatures measured and recorded by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology contribute to the calculation of global averages. These values, of course, suggest catastrophic human-caused global warming.

The apparent hydrogen bomb that North Korea is believed to have detonated underground on Sunday was a massive explosion.

Three potentially habitable Earth-sized planets in another solar system are likely to contain substantial amounts of water, say astronomers.

A planetary takeover by ocean-dwelling algae 650 million years ago was the kick that transformed life on Earth.

That’s what geochemists argue in Nature this week, on the basis of invisibly small traces of biomolecules dug up from beneath the Australian desert. The molecules mark an explosion in the quantity of algae in the oceans.

Hurricane Harvey presented a golden opportunity to global warming hysterics who are trying mightily to connect the storm’s intensity to climate change.
