It was bitterly cold again, with air temperature at minus 2 with a wind chill on top of that

Having set off from Table Island at 0930 on Wednesday we finally touched terra firma on Ellef Rignes at 1046 on Thursday - some 25 hours later. Weary, and in some cases, a little brusied. We got got some food before getting back on board to try and push on around the coast to find a suitable bolt hole to get some rest. However as we have found on numerous occasions you can't take anything for granted up here and sure enough it wasn't long before we found ourselves confronted by what turned out to be an inpenetrable ice field. After 11 hours of searching for the elusive gateway we decided to head to neighbouring King Christian Island to anchor up for the night and recharge six very tired bodies.

Extra terrestrial contact paper – those involved should hang their heads in shame! | ScottishSceptic

I’ve just read the so called “paper” on Extra Terrestrials and it is the worst kind of nonsense and may as well be prepared by primary school kids given the lack of any knowledge or ability to draw inferences from human history let alone any concept of what really might happen if alien lifeforms ever contacted us.

C3: Explaining Global Warming To An Anti-Science Progressive Liberal - AGW For Dummies

Based on this video, would it be possible that your typical eugenics-loving progressive liberal might actually be able to come to terms with climate science per the real emprical evidence verus theory only? Naaahhh!

What is the optimum temperature?

Australian grape-grower Erl Happ became interested in climate when trying to work out what climate was best for grape-growing. And, as every grape grower knows, some climates are better for grapes than others. So instead of the common academic focus on average temperature, Happ became interested in how that average is made up. He looked at temperature by region and season rather than by some uninformative global average. What he found was that temperatures in different regions and seasons moved in different directions at the same time. While one region or season was cooling another was warming.

So this regional/seasonal disparity very strongly made an explanation in terms of CO2 useless. AGW theory could explain uniform warming only and uniform warming is NOT happening. Looking at average temperature artificially hides what is actually happening.
