It is clear that 2017 was a very warm year.
Tomorrow, NOAA, NASA and the UK Met Office will announce by how much.
Global temperature data for the last 12 months refutes the idea that the warmth of 2017 was due to a resurgence of global warming. In fact, the world has been cooling. –David Whitehouse, The GWPF Observatory, 17 January 2018
It’s only been about a week since New York City filed suit against five major oil companies, and one economist has already found basic factual errors in the city’s legal filing. —Michael Bastasch, Daily Caller, 16 January 2018
Just out, the first book to be published by the London-based Global Warming Policy Foundation is by the Australian writer/researcher Bernie Lewin, a detailed – and damning – historical deconstruction of the origins of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), titled Searching For The Catastrophe Signal.

I know for a fact it wasn’t the “warmest year “on record because Bill Nye hasn’t placed a bet saying it was .
Of course the data manipulators at NOAA may have a few “natural tricks ” up their sleeves so you never know .
Greenpeace still putters all over the world in their fossil fueled ships Arctic Sunrise and Rainbow Warrior II while blocking coal ships and luanching their zodiacs with the Gasoline powered motors while they lecture everybody else about this Global Warming/Climate Change poppycock the same gose to Al Bore and Leonardo DiCaprio and the wackos for the NRDC and EDF
