Thank you for the links, Capt. Joe
Normally I, living in Denmark of which Greenland is a part, have my attention on the Arctic ice, but today the news drew my attention to the Himalayan ice cover melting at a fast pace. |

Germany Could Slow Phase-Out of Coal
----------------------------------------BERLIN — Germany’s phasing out of coal-fired power stations could be delayed beyond 2038 if the deadline creates problems for the security of electricity supply, a senior legislator in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s party said. https://www.voanews.com/a/official-germany-co...-out-of-coal/4770428.html  |

Hi Gerald
----------------------------------------Germany was implementing new Lignite burning Power Stations as our Coal Power Stations in the UK were being shutdown due to the EU's Large Combustion Plant Directive... Our Power Supply is now Gas and Wind Powered in the majority http://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ This is a good thing. Nuclear becomes less of the mix by the day - which is great news The UK demand for electrical power gets less every year. The implementation of LED lighting and efficiency improvements everywhere + the shutting down of much of the UK's heavy industry ... means the lights have stayed on so far |

Another month whistles by and our terrifyingly stable Climate remains terrifyingly stable And where is the peer review for that statement?    169,079,692 Individual Temperature Records in the database since 1st Jan 2011 from NOAA's NWS service That speaks pretty loudly dont you think?, the NOAA arent some bunch of conspiracy nuts with an agenda and i'd rather listen to scientific fact than some airheads whose peer review consists entirely of - this is so because I say so and I can quote people who play to my particular narrative. https://www.noaa.gov/ Sounds like that just a whole of data to me. So, what are the scientists saying about all that data? Airheads...ie. people that's going to say things I know I will disagree with?  ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by BladeD at Feb 13, 2019 6:14:20 PM] |

The was a time when the majority of scientists asserted that the earth was flat and only a few - who were roundly criticised and cow towed said otherwise.
Yes it is a whole load of data, unfortunately it doesn’t play to your narrative so let’s just ignore it yeah. People that say things I know i’ll disagree with are airheads - of course  |

Very true, but you or I or anyone in my family's tree was born back then...if that's not reaching, I don't know what is! I didn't ignore anything. You are the one that ignored my question....So, what are the scientists saying about all that data? ---------------------------------------- [Edit 3 times, last edit by BladeD at Feb 13, 2019 6:15:47 PM] |

It isn’t reaching, the point if that statement - and sorry if it went right over your head is simple, just because a majority say something it doesn’t make it so, one resenting voice can be correct. Besides I’m not going to take anyone seriously who talks to his imaginary friend

 Just one interesting item from Polar Portal This is on of the places where the water comes from .... we'll see where it ends unless a super volcano or two will intervene. |
