Every year it seems we get a new study linking cold winters to global warming and “melting” Arctic ice.

Only last month I debunked the latest attempt, and I assumed this must be the same study. Turned out I was wrong!

This is what Unscientific American has to say about the latest paper:

Why GHGs Cannot Heat The Deep Oceans

NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

NASA have a webpage, which lists the so-called facts about climate change.

One section covers “warming oceans”:

Now, if these figures are correct, and it’s a big if, what does this imply for AGW theory?

According to NASA,

“The oceans store more heat in the uppermost 3 meters (10 feet) than the entire atmosphere (above it).”

For the sake of argument, let’s assume that the computer models are correct, and that extra GHGs should raise atmospheric temperatures by 0.2C/decade. Since 1969 this would equal about 0.9C.

However, because ocean heat content is thousands of times greater than that of the atmosphere, it also takes thousands of times more energy to raise ocean temperatures by the same amount.

Assuming that the oceans had somehow absorbed their share of AGW, we can do a simple calculation of the temperature change we should expect to see in the…

Wind Farm Shutdown Allows Neighbours to Sleep Comfortably for 1st Time in Years

STOP THESE THINGS

As time goes by, the irrefutable evidence mounts that incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound is a hazard to human health; and no evidence is more compelling than the negative effect wind turbine noise and vibration has on the critical need for sleep.

The World Health Organisation has viewed “noise-induced sleep disturbance … as a health problem in itself” for over 60 years – its Night-time Noise Guidelines for Europe – the Executive Summary at XI to XII which covers the point – says:

NOISE, SLEEP AND HEALTH

There is plenty of evidence that sleep is a biological necessity, and disturbed sleep is associated with a number of health problems. Studies of sleep disturbance in children and in shift workers clearly show the adverse effects.

Noise disturbs sleep by a number of direct and indirect pathways. Even at very low levels physiological reactions (increase in heart rate, body…
