Winter has arrived much earlier than normal this year, particularly across North America, where cold records have been shattered. This Thanksgiving is in fact going down as one of the coldest ever on record across the Northeast. The Washington Post here, for example, reports that Thanksgiving and Black Friday 2018 will be remembered for a […]

Fuel price uprisings spread across Belgium, France… hundreds injured, one dead, major highways blocked, property and windows smashed by “yellow vest” fuel price protesters. The fact that fuel prices in Europe are sky-high is no accident. They have been willed that way by cash and regulation-hungry governments. Moreover, the threatened actions aimed at curbing the […]

The evidence that “global” warming has not been global in scale continues to accumulate. Two more new reconstructions from the Western Pacific (He et al., 2018) and subpolar North Atlantic (Orme et al., 2018) indicate that modern temperatures have continued to decline since the onset of the Little Ice Age. These add to the nearly […]

Recently I presented here an article on filmmaker Marijn Poels’s new documentary that featured former Princeton physicist Freeman Dyson, who stated that the theories of climate science are “very confused” and that “the models are wrong”. But perhaps the most fascinating point the film brings up was presented at the very end: A Russian scientist […]

In the scientific literature, wind energy’s effects on human populations has increasingly garnered an ignominious reputation in recent years. For example, wind energy is claimed to (1) lead to “genocide” and “green grabbing”, (2) harm human health and well-being, and (3) lower home property values. Image Source: Tonin, 2017 Wind energy “green-grabbing” leading to “genocide”, […]

Recently we’ve been hearing about how cold it’s been over much of North America, for example how Houston saw its earliest snowfall on record! Well, it appears that the early wintry conditions are getting set to take even stronger hold over the Northern Hemisphere. Yesterday at Weatherbell’s Daily Update, veteran meteorologist Joe Bastardi showed how […]

[The most notable part of the documentary is the interview with Freeman Dyson, from 1:09:00 – 1:14:00] In his new documentary “The Uncertainty has Settled“, Dutch filmmaker Marijn Poels focuses on climate science and politics and found that the issue is in fact as controversial and as UNSETTLED as any issue could possibly get. The science climate […]

The year 2018 could mark the beginning of the end of climate change alarmist reporting. Projections of catastrophic melting of the ice sheets and sea level rise swallowing up the Earth’s coasts are increasingly undermined by observations. Extensive glacier and ice sheet melt resulting in an accelerated sea level rise threatening the world’s population centers […]

The weather models are all now pointing to wintry weather pushing into Europe next week, after a year of near record warm temperatures. Is a cold winter in store? German skeptic weather and climate blogger Schneefan (Snow Fan) here writes that the winter most likely will be starting early this year, but it remains a […]
