Two regions will be warmer, one balanced out, and all [...]

If I’m told something, I just store it. If it later is contradicted and just left taken for granted, I have [...]

I like to swim. I like it a lot. However, as I’ve gotten a little older, I’ve become kinda temperature sensitive. Especially since I have to spend vast amounts of time in knee deep water with Moonlet. Last year was awesome if you like to spend it in water. It was hot. Al Gore told [...]

Here’s the story:
When heatwaves strike, it’s far more difficult to cope with stifling temperatures in built-up areas than it is out in the countryside. An ESA campaign has just been carried out to see if a spaceborne thermal infrared sensor could help policy makers and town planners reduce the number of casualties when temperatures soar.

Here’s the problem:
That’s a really big La Nina. It’s shrinking, but not very quickly. It’s persisted for a year and looks like it’s going to be around a little longer. It’s going to mess with our weather one more year.
Here’s the bigger issue. Why do we even have a La Nina to worry about in [...]

A team of Japanese astronomers using ESA’s XMM-Newton, along with NASA and Japanese X-ray satellites, has discovered that our galaxy’s central black hole let loose a powerful flare three centuries ago.
The article then goes on to do what articles, and most usually scientists, do in general. They dig deeper and deeper into the why’s, what’s, [...]

Fresh on the heels of my post on man destroying the Earth in an effort to combat something he doesn’t understand, I get this headline:
Global warming hastens arrival of springtime
In the meantime, here at least, for the second year in a row, there is snow forecast for Easter. Last year Easter was two weeks later [...]

Congress, in it’s rush to pander to the global warming scare, or Al Gore, mandated that everyone use the new CFL’s. They burn less electricity. Now, since my electric bill is tied directly to the amount of electricity we use, that sounded fine to me. However, after I had installed about thirty of them, we [...]

A while back Al Gore predicted more, stronger hurricanes because of global warming and won a Nobel Peace prize. Earlier this year an unknown scientist in Russia predicted global cooling would occur leading to the next possible ice age. He didn’t get a Nobel. At this time, China is trying to dig itself out of [...]
