Newly discovered temperature data from the 1970s moon landings, released in the Journal of Geophysical Research in April, reveals that NASA astronauts probably warmed up the moon's surface temperature by as much as 6 degrees Fahrenheit by walking around and poking into the lunar surface. The data comes from so-called heat-flow experiments that were installed on the moon in 1971 and 1972 during the Apollo 15 and Apollo 17 missions. For the experiments, astronauts on each mission drilled two holes into the surface of the moon at depths ranging from 3.2 feet to 7.5 feet deep. The astronauts inserted fiberglass...

If you blinked you might have missed the momentous occasion of the release of the second part of the UN IPCC’s sixth assessment report of how we're all going to die unless we all board jets and attend global warming conferences. Or give lots of money to those officials who do it for us.Since no one reads these things anyway, by the time the fourteenth chapter of the second part of the sixth assessment rolled around, everyone was drunk and decided to take shots at conservatives.Chapter 14 was on North America and warned of the threat posed by "individualistic" conservatives...

BOSTON (AP) — The New England states are bracing for extreme cold that is already closing some schools and threatening the power grid this week. Boston, the state’s largest public school district, announced Monday that schools will not open Tuesday because of expected extremely cold temperatures. The high in the city Tuesday is expected to be 12 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 11 C), with wind chills making it feel as low as minus 8 (minus 22 C), according to National Weather Service forecasters. It could feel as low as minus 15 (minus 26 C) in some areas of Massachusetts, according to...

Coal and nuclear energy made up 40% of the overall energy mix in Germany. Meanwhile, renewables fell to 41% of the mix. Still, Germany is stuck on kicking its coal and nuclear habit—coal because it’s dirty, and nuclear because of Fukushima. The decision to retire the latter was made shortly after the Fukushima disaster, but since then, coal use has risen to fill in the gaps left by nuclear. This year, Germany plans to shut down the Grohnde, Gundremmingen C, and Brokdorf nuclear plants, which will leave Germany with just three. Those final three will be retired by the end...

GLASGOW, Scotland — United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says the goal of limiting global warming to 2.7 F is “on life support” as UN climate talks enter their final days, but he added that “until the last moment, hope should be maintained.” In an exclusive interview on Thursday with The Associated Press, Guterres said the negotiations set to end Friday in Glasgow, Scotland, will “very probably” not yield the carbon-cutting pledges he has said are needed to keep the planet from warming beyond the 1.5-degree threshold. So far, the talks have not come close to achieving any of the UN’s...

Greta Thunberg may not have been officially invited to the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland, but on the first day of the conference, she was making her presence felt. The Swedish teenager, who is something of a rock star for climate campaigners worldwide, is among thousands of activists descending on Glasgow for the 12-day U.N. Climate Change Conference of the Parties, known as COP26, which kicked off Sunday. They are calling on world leaders to take bold action to prevent global temperatures from rising by more than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above preindustrial levels. *** Thunberg arrived...

Arnold Schwarzenegger hit out Friday at leaders who highlight the financial and societal burdens of combating climate change as “stupid or liars.” The former governor of California told the BBC cutting carbon emissions will benefit global economies despite the initial on-costs and new, prohibitive regulations on gas and oil use.

A new paper from Columbia University’s Charles A. Taylor and Wolfram Schlenker that used NASA satellite data has shown that anywhere from 10–40 percent of improvements in key U.S. crop yields since 1940 could potentially be attributed to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide due to human activity.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) blamed climate change after Hurricane Ida’s remnants caused historic flooding in New York City, leaving multiple people dead. “Woe is us if we don’t recognize these changes are due to climate change. Woe is us if we don’t do something about it quickly,” Schumer said in a press conference.

Researchers affiliated with several institutions in the United States has determined that the increase in the number of hurricanes forming in the Atlantic over the past several years is not related to global warming. They suggest instead, in their paper published in the journal Nature Communications, that it is simply reflective of natural variable weather patterns. Over the past several decades, scientists studying satellite data have found that the number of hurricanes forming in the Atlantic Ocean has been increasing. Many in the field have suggested that this is due to the impact of global warming. A warming ocean, they...

If this weekend's heat wave sends temperatures soaring well above 90 degrees in king county as meteorologists expect, some communities are likely to suffer much worse than neighbors mere miles away. That takeaway comes from a new map of temperature data thorough King County collected during a scorching day last July +++++++++ They hid this article online after people called the Bush guy who authored this on his G.W. bs

Our armed forces are being infiltrated by more and more woke propaganda each day.The US Army has announced that they will be “prioritizing climate change considerations in its threat picture, strategic plans, operations and installations”.They also stated that “climate change is a serious threat to U.S. National security interests and defense objectives”.The way things are going the woke crowd will try to get ride of our nuclear weapons due to the fact they are harmful to the environment…

Appearing Sunday on MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan Show, teenage activist Greta Thunberg said “the science” shows that President Joe Biden’s climate change policies are inadequate.

Polar Vortex. Let me demystify this for you. Q: How can in the winter, the wind blow from the north downward in North America AND Siberia AT THE SAME TIME? Freepers- post your theories here. HINT: If you know the answer, it does not support "global warming" and "hole in the ozone" hysteria.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom warned the country's leaders that the entire United States will soon mirror the raging wildfires that are working their way through thousands of acres of the state's land. “California, folks, is America fast-forward,” Newsom said. “What we are experiencing right here is coming to a community all across the United States of America unless we get our act together on climate change — unless we disabuse ourselves of all the BS that’s being spewed by a very small group of people that have an ideological reason to advance the cause of a 19th-century framework and solution....

How a rising of the ocean waters may flood most of our port cities within the foreseeable future — and why it will be followed by the growth of a vast glacier which may eventually cover much of Europe and North America. It is this melting of Arctic ice which Ewing and Donn believe will set off another Ice Age on earth. They predict that it will cause great snows to fall in the north — perennial unmelting snows which the world has not seen since the last Ice Age thousands of years ago. These snows will make the Arctic...

The Swedish town of Örebro recorded the highest January temperature it had seen since 1858 on Wednesday.The local weather station measured a temperature of 10.3C, which was later upgraded to 10.5C following a further check. Meteorologist Nitzan Cohen told SVT Örebro the figure was "remarkable". Even still, the central southern town wasn't the warmest spot in the country on Wednesday. Norrköping and Bromma in the Stockholm area both measured 10.5C, while further south in Gladhammar the mercury reached 10.7C. Several other spots topped 10C on Wednesday, including Harstena, Hudiksvall, Kuggören, Södertälje, Oskarshamn and Adelsö. "It's very mild air but there...

Greta Thunberg sits in silence in the cabin of the boat that will take her across the Atlantic Ocean. Inside, there’s a cow skull hanging on the wall, a faded globe, a child’s yellow raincoat.

Something's missing in the Google autocomplete. I did this from my regular browser, then did it from a non-assigned neutral browser just to make sure my own preferences weren't skewing the results.What's missing?One would think that with the mainstream media and the governor screaming "CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSING THE FIRES!!" constantly would at least drive up google search results in that direction.Really, really curious
