Wild Claim: ‘Someday, even wet forests could burn due to climate change’

From the Climate Change overrules fire science department comes what could very well be the most ridiculous climate scare headline of the year so far. We don’t have an “oxygen-rich atmosphere”. – Anthony by Kelsey Simpkins, University of Colorado at Boulder Millions of years ago, fire swept across the planet, fueled by an oxygen-rich atmosphere in……

Total Precipitable Water and the Greenhouse Effect

Total precipitable water is an important climate parameter as it is a measure of the total amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, which is the most important greenhouse gas. Water vapor increases with global warming and in the climate models it amplifies the direct small warming caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. The greenhouse……

A second alignment plane of the solar system has been discovered

Comet orbits revealed something previously unknown – a mirror ecliptic inclined opposite of the planetary ecliptic. From the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan A study of comet motions indicates that the Solar System has a second alignment plane. Analytical investigation of the orbits of long-period comets shows that the aphelia of the comets, the point……
