“It’s the nonskeptics who look bad. It’s not science to be a true believer who wants to ignore new evidence. It’s not science to support a man who has the job of being a scientist but doesn’t adhere to the methods of science.”
- Ann Althouse on skepticism.

Did you know? This year all 48 contiguous States in the US had snow cover? If we add Alaska 49/50 states have had Snow cover this year.

Morning CLST

If we move towards an attitude of care in how we use the resources, which are bountiful, of this little Planet of ours then there's nothing more we can do.

We should try to use renewables such as Solar, Wind, Wave, River, Hydroelectric, Geothermal, we have even encountered osmotic pressure as a power source being trialled in Norway where a a river meets the more salty sea along our travels through this subject. We should do this wherever it is viable, practical and possible to do instead of burning fossil fuels - that's just common sense.

But as for Mankind being able to prevent a future inundation of a city from rising sea levels well just ask King Canute about that especially as, if this story is to believed, our weapon of choice for this global battle is to reduce the atmospheric concentration of CO2 from 0.0388% back to it's claimed pre-industrial level of 0.0280% while always remembering that this completely non-toxic trace gas is responsible for all the food and consequently life on this wonderful blue marble we live on taking not a small part in Photosynthesis.

(Apart from the life supported by the those ocean vents along the mid-ocean rifts - just one of the means by which our planet to continues to change daily without any intervention)

CLST this is just a huge scare story with friends in high places.

See it for what it is and rest easy at night. The World we live in has always changed it's only Man that thinks everything should remain just as it is laid out today. Our Globe is not static which is why the dynamic nature of our World, our Star, the Planets and the Universe are just so darn interesting.


The kind of dynamic world that means that's yet another 24 Hours it's been sub zero Apart from ~3 days mid Jan that's 2 Months permanent snow cover...in Brussels.

I'm sick of the snow aren't you?

And whilst all that snow is made from all that extra vapor made on those record warm oceans, the Arctic is not having, what shall we say, a recovery year:



More than 2 STD deviation below a 28 year mean, and quality rotten as per in-situ reports from the locals... eskimo's [who might be in the conspiracy too]

He heard it through the grapevine, yes there are Freemasons members amongst the eskimos



Maxwell then upgraded and connected to skeptical science and was promptly served the 10 most frequently used talking points:



All were addressed, binned by the can't hear it and all 10 points recycled again.

The word of the day is tau... tau... tautology.

Ah, science we read hear is not what it used to be, particular if Viscount Lord Monckton starts talking about it:
