German scientists have made a spectacular find. Near the Bavarian city of Augsburg they found a 14-million year old fossil of a python. What’s interesting is that pythons like very warm, tropical weather, and not the cool, crappy stuff Germany has to offer. That means Germany (Central Europe) had to have been a balmy place 15 million years ago. In […]

A new paper here on the Jorge Montt Glacier at the Chilean Patagonia is out in Climate of the Past journal. What’s interesting is that this glacier is located in Chile – in South America, far away from the North Atlantic region. A team of scientists studied tree rings from old trees recently exposed by the retreating […]

At least in Germany, that is if the current string of harsh winters doesn’t stop. And according to Dr Karsten Brandt’s latest winter forecast for 2011/12 at donnerwetter.de, this coming winter is projected to be yet another harsh one. No let-up in sight. That would make it Germany’s 4th consecutive harsh winter in a row. Brandt […]

I wonder if at times these people realize just how asinine they make themselves appear. Here’s another “glittering jewel of colossal science ignorance” at the German online Frankfurter Neue Presse. It is titled: Experiments Show Hesse’s Climate in the Future. Hesse (in German: Hessen) is a state in Central Germany, which puts it in the middle […]

Hans Schellnhuber and WGBU want to revolutionize society in 2 decades. Source: http://nachhaltigkeit2009.commerzbank.de Awhile back Hans Schellnhuber, director of the ultra-alarmist Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), released his master plan for the Great Transformation of global society – from one fuelled by carbon to a Utopian one powered by fuzzy-warm renewable energy. This he […]

How many billions of euros has the EU spent on renewable energy in order to reduce climate killing CO2 emissions? How many billions have been spent on research, institutes, think tanks, government, NGOs, etc., for the purpose of educating and regulating the public to curb CO2 emissions? How many pages have been written and words spoken preaching that CO2 […]

Cain opens up a 20-point lead! Let’s hope it stays that way. And the tea-partiers are racists? Go figure.I’m wondering how long it’s going to take before the snobby white European established yellow media get their blood hounds out. I’ll give it about another week. QUOTE OF THE WEEK: CAIN: Don’t blame Wall Street. Don’t blame […]

Dig baby dig! Germany has put the shutdown of all its nuclear reactors on the fast track since the Fukushima accident. Finally, Germany’s Renewable Energy Revolution to rescue the planet from nuclear power and climate-killing CO2 emissions appears set begin in earnest, at least that’s what the climate rescue heroes would like to believe. Unfortunately for the renewable […]

There have been lots of new and exciting developments this year in climate science, mainly the growing evidence that the sun (no surprise here) plays an obvious role in driving climate, as we have recently heard from CERN. This will certainly be one of the major points of focus at this year’s conference. That’s why […]

We’ve all heard about Hans Schellnhuber’s masterplan for the Great Transformation of society, from one powered by “climate killing” fossil fuel energies to one powered by gentle, earth-healing renewable energies. Well, it turns out that the Great Transformation would likely end up being the Great Transfer-mation – of private wealth! The online Die Rheinpfalz here reports […]
