(H/T: Blog at the End of Time). Another silly idea has been proposed by scientists that just don’t seem to grasp scale. Lime can be added to the oceans to increase their ability to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The problem is that (a) the oceans are huge and this [...]

The state of Maryland is predicted to have heat like Phoenix, Arizona, but with humidity. Expect to see new plants and animal species come to the region. And, most importantly, Maryland’s land mass will shrink because of increasing ocean levels over the coming decades. But let’s not forget how global warming protesters were covered in [...]

Rachel Carson, whose book Silent Spring helped ban DDT, penned one before Silent Spring called The Sea Around Us, that suggests ocean currents are responsible for climate change and makes no mention of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions as a cause.

Natural cycles in ocean currents, not anthropogenic carbon emissions, have pushed the planet slightly cooler since 1998 when an El Nino-induced heat wave covered the planet. The latest research indicates that this cooling trend could last a total of 20 years before natural forces reverse it.

The National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration released figures yesterday saying that June was the ninth warmest June on record at 0.9 degrees (F) warmer than the average June. But not so fast! The University of Alabama at Huntsville presented their global assessment declaring June the ninth coldest in 30 years of record keeping. A NASA [...]

The theories surrounding melting ice rushing down cracks in glaciers leading to a melting snowball effect are wrong, according to this article. Glacial movement in Greenland has slowed by about 10% over the last 17 years, instead, leading us to believe that scientists don’t always know what they’re talking about. Greenland’s not melting into the [...]

G.W. Denier over at Global Shamming has brought up a really good point: how long before the latest tropical storm brewing in the Atlantic Ocean is blamed on global warming? Will that only happen once it hits land? Or if it strengthens to a category 3, 4 or 5? Or will the global warming hoaxers [...]

Gore’s claims of 20 foot sea-level rise and disruptions of ocean currents due to global warming are causing gas prices to rise. The global warming myth is just an attack on fossil fuels, and the perpetrators of this hoax will not stop until all fossil fuel [...]

If you study the graph in the article, you can clearly see that negative adjustments have been applied negatively the further back in time you go. Conversely, you’ll see that adjustments to temperature data have grown into the positive almost consistently since about 1970. With satellite data saying the planet is cooling, the Argos buoys [...]
