Life-Threatening Cold – Mini Ice Age Coming?

By Dr Mark Sircus

All of America, not just the Deep South, has been reeling under the effects of this deadly Arctic blast. Peter Sinks, located just 20 miles northeast of Logan, recorded a temperature of minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday night, solidifying its claim as one of the coldest locations in the lower 48 United States.

The data is now in plain sight, and hundreds of millions of people’s cold experiences are too embarrassing for anyone to examine as extreme cold invades the U.S. It is impossible to imagine the world boiling these days, but not so difficult to imagine it freezing. No matter what you call it, Siberian Express, Polar Vortex, or Blue Norther, it is frigid air we are talking about. Cold air because it is cold. Not because it is hot or because of any name given to it. We have record cold, not record heat. You have to have a high school education to understand this.

Scientists noticed something surprising: a sudden change
from very warm conditions in the late 1300s to unprecedented
cold conditions in the early 1400s, only 20 years later.

Blue Northers feature a sharp downward crash in temperature – often 40 degrees or more in minutes – accompanied by strong, chilly north winds. In these cases, one could go from wearing t-shirts and shorts outside to needing a winter jacket. Blue Northers can move at forward speeds of 40 mph or faster, making the trip from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico in less than two days. Temperatures are touching 30 degrees below normal, with historic blizzards blanketing the Gulf Coast and paralyzing the region.

Global warming proponents are probably freaking out with all this cold and probably trying to tie this record-breaking freeze to their beloved theory. It was about uniform planetary warming for decades: ‘forever hotter.’ Real-world observations have refused to cooperate, leaving hundreds of millions in the northern hemisphere in the cold. It’s more like a billion cold souls.

The Blue Snow

The North American Winter of 1886-1887

An extract from “The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt “(1979) a biography of United States President Theodore Roosevelt

The haze which had hung over the Badlands all autumn rose to high altitudes in late October, causing weird “dogs” to glow around the sun and the moon. Then, late on the afternoon of 13 November, it turned white and began to sink again, very slowly, cushioned on the dead still air. Only when it touched the Elkhorn bottom, and sent an icy sting into the nostrils of the cattle, did the whiteness prove to be snow—snow powdered so fine and soft that it hovered for hours before settling.

That night the temperature fell below zero, and a sudden gale came down from Canada, blowing curtains of thicker snow before it. By morning the drifts were piling up six or seven feet deep, and the air was so charged with snow that the cattle coughed to breathe it. Some cows stupidly faced north until the blizzard plugged their noses and throats, asphyxiating them.

Wildfires – Climate or Criminal?

By Dr Graham Pinn

The year 2024 produced much anguish over fires, with attempts made to blame the regular events on “unprecedented” climate change. The season is just kicking off here but elsewhere, in the Northern winter, things are hotting up early!

Just a few days into January 2025, the season has already started, with a major fire in Los Angeles; typically, the usual “catastrophic” fire season begins around May. Seven fires, including on the iconic Sunset Boulevard, have created significant damage, with tens of thousands evacuated, and only two under control (am 9/01). The city, with a population of 4 million has a massive urban sprawl, resulting in an area 50% bigger than New York.

Heat Stroke!

By Dr Graham Pinn

Heat or cold, it’s always climate time!

As yet another, supposedly,” unprecedented” summer comes around, sensationalising social media look to create another crisis; in reality, the heat is nothing new. Working, or exercising in a hot climate, without adequate fluid or electrolyte replacement, can lead to problems, problems which have been known since the beginning of time.

Australia The Dumb Country – can we get lucky again?

By John Mikkelsen

A few short years ago, Australia was known as The Lucky Country; now in the eyes of the developed world, we are rapidly becoming The Dumb Country.

Much of that is down to the fact that our Labor Federal Government refuses to acknowledge the rest of the world’s industrialised nations are rapidly embracing clean, reliable nuclear energy under bi-partisan agreements, while our leaders seem incapable of even having a rational debate about lifting the current totally irrational ban.

Opposition leader Peter Dutton, flanked by Nationals leader David Littleproud, Energy spokesman Ted O’Brien and Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor, last week finally released the long-awaited costings of their plan to integrate nuclear plants into the energy grid with a claimed 44 percent cost saving over Labor’s rush to an unreliable renewables-only future.

Wind and Solar Are Fragile

By Steve Goreham

Originally published in MasterResource

Wind and solar have been growing as a share of US electrical power generation over the last two decades. State and federal mandates and subsidies have driven the expansion of renewables. But it’s clear that renewable electricity sources are fragile and prone to weather damage and destruction.

Twenty-three states now mandate Net Zero electricity by as early as 2035. Their aim is to replace coal- and gas-fired power plants with wind and solar generators. Wind and solar have grown from near zero in 2000 to 14.1% of US electricity generation in 2023 (10.2% wind and 3.9% solar).

Dreamtime: a cruel delusion of British anthropologists

Aboriginal land claims, native title and land rights are based on a false anthropological premise and are totally fraudulent according to astounding new Australian archaeological discoveries and recent linguistic studies.

The delusion of 40,000 years of dreamtime mantra is the product of untruthful anthropologists.

According to Alfred Cort Haddon, a turn of the century figure revered today as the ‘founding father’ of British anthropology, the aborigines were clearly “pre-Dravidian” people from South India.

In Haddon’s 1909 book, The Races of Man, he asserts that Australia was originally inhabited by Papuans, or Negritoes, who wandered on the extreme south of the continent.

Later, a pre-Dravidian race migrated to Australia and overran the continent, absorbing the sparse aboriginal population.

Thus, said Haddon, the original aborigines were either “driven off, exterminated or even partially assimilated.”

What is the Real Cost of Net Zero?

Australia is in the middle of an energy revolution, but it is a road to nowhere.

Weather dependent electricity has a huge cost – it is unpredictable, unreliable and is destroying and sterilising enormous tracts of farmland, hilltops and forests with solar panels, turbines and power lines. It is not cheap, not green, and not reliable.

Watch here Chris Uhlmann on Sky news as he outlines the energy disaster looming up for Australia.

PLANNING TO EXIT NET ZERO

By Rafe Champion

The government has initiated an enquiry into the market reforms that will be “fit for purpose” to support the suicidal net  zero  program.

That is the wrong question because the so-called transition from coal has run its course and we need to start planning an exit from net zero.

We need a plan well ahead in case a government comes to power with the desire to exit, only to find they are short on time and they have no idea what to do.

The plan will have to be sustained by a new narrative about energy that is  based on realism and concern for the welfare of people and the planet. Let’s be energy realists and responsible stewards of the environment!

Energy realism rules in China and the rest of the developing world where they scramble for all the coal, oil, and gas they can get.

 Meanwhile, the nations of the West emulate the mythical farmer who incrementally reduced the rations of his workhorse until it died.

We run down coal power and gas until there is not enough conventional power and parts of the grid will die on nights when there is little or no wind.

The 2024 report of the Lancet Countdown on health and climate change: facing record-breaking threats from delayed action – a critique

By Dr D Weston Allen MBBS, FRACGP, Grad Dip Phys Med

The Lancet pre-empted the Paris Agreement climate targets at COP 21 with its Commission on Health and Climate Change in June 2015. It has since released annual Countdown reports of progress before every COP. This 139 page Romanello et al report by “122 leading researchers from UN agencies and academic institutions worldwide” claims to reveal “the most concerning findings yet in the collaboration’s 8 years of monitoring.” The first of its 6 Panels focuses on 15 health indicators, the second on 56 climate change indicators, the third on indigenous knowledge, cultural and spiritual practices, colonisation and dispossession, the fourth on nature- based solutions, the fifth on limits to adaptation, and the sixth on health impacts of the energy production cycle.
