Image copyright NASAScientists say they have definitive evidence for water-ice on the surface of the Moon. The ice deposits are found at both the north and south poles, and are likely to be ancient in origin.
The result comes from an instrument on India’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft, which explored the Moon between 2008 and 2009.

Online broadcaster Jim Fetzer, in his ‘The Real Deal’ program (8-16-18) does a Skype interview with Joseph A Olson PE on the topic of junk climate science.
Titled ‘Unmasking Climaclownology’ this 22-minute video takes viewers through various examples of historic climate change where it is proven modern day ‘global warming’ is neither exceptional or outside of what constitutes natural variation.

When people talk of the Earth what they are usually referring to is the very thin layer that we are familiar with. The Earth is not the just the upper layer of the crust and the troposphere but is the entire system consisting of the entire atmosphere and the entire solid Earth.
When they speak of the Earth radiating heat they are thinking of heat loss from the surface of the planet. This is wrong because the surface of the Earth is the coolest part of it.

The rising popularity of electric vehicles and other technology caused a surge in demand for cobalt, a metal that is mostly found in Africa, where miners are reportedly working in horrific conditions.
The growing market for electric-powered automobiles, smartphones, and other high-tech devices have made for unintended consequences halfway around the world.

“How Waters multi-layered sub-surface absorbance coupled with its skin surface emissivity & evaporation acts to raise average equilibrium temperatures above standard black body calculations.”
The “Watery Planet Effect” is the true effect which is occurring on planet Earth, which explains why the experienced average temperature differs from the standard black body calculated average temperature of 255K, with an emissivity of 1 and a solar absorptivity of 0.7 (0.3 Albedo). (A / E Ratio of 0.7) rather than some “fictitious” greenhouse effect.

Over the years there has been a sustained effort to portray human exposure to very high levels of CO2 as toxic.
A new study undercuts these claims, as the decision-making performances of controlled-experiment participants were not impaired when exposed to CO2 concentrations as high as 15,000 ppm.
