Renowned Oil Professor Proposes Fracking Alternative

Professor Emeritus George V. Chilingar & Tom Tamarkin at Dr. Chilingar’s home in Los Angeles, California By Tom Tamarkin | Sept. 4, 2020 Dr. George Chilingar is truly the Renaissance man of the petroleum and gas industry. As professor emeritus of the University of Southern California, he has over sixty years of research and teaching behind him. In the 1960s, Dr. Chilingar developed the first practical natural gas plunger lift method of deliquifying a natural gas well based on his use of an à la-adiabatic process. His invention had an extremely low energy cost as well as low environmental impact, …

Solar Plasma Temperature is plunging – should we worry?

By David Archibald August 23, 2020 The solar plasma temperature has plunged to a new low for the instrument record. Coincidentally or not, the temperature of the southern hemisphere has also plunged over the last couple of weeks. When do we start worrying? Figure 1: Temperature of the solar wind plasma As Figure 1 shows, the temperature of the solar wind has hit a new low for the instrument record. As it is energy from the Sun that keeps the Earth from looking like Pluto, the lower plasma temperature indicates that the Sun’s surface is cooling. Surely the Earth’s surface …

FLASHBACK: Sen Kamala Harris Supported Eliminating Senate Filibuster To Pass Green New Deal

Daily Caller Chris White | August 12, 2020 California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris said in 2019 that she would consider ending the Senate filibuster as president if Republican lawmakers refused to embrace legislation addressing what she and other Democrats believe is a climate crisis. Harris, who was selected Tuesday as running mate on former Vice President Joe Biden’s Democratic presidential bid, made the suggestion during a CNN climate crisis town hall in September 2019 before ending her own run for president in December. “If they fail to act, as president of the United States, I am prepared to get rid …

Persistent warm Mediterranean surface waters during the Roman period

Nature Abstract Reconstruction of last millennia Sea Surface Temperature (SST) evolution is challenging due to the difficulty retrieving good resolution marine records and to the several uncertainties in the available proxy tools. In this regard, the Roman Period (1 CE to 500 CE) was particularly relevant in the socio-cultural development of the Mediterranean region while its climatic characteristics remain uncertain. Here we present a new SST reconstruction from the Sicily Channel based in Mg/Ca ratios measured on the planktonic foraminifer Globigerinoides ruber. This new record is framed in the context of other previously published Mediterranean SST records from the Alboran …

Archaeology News Network 7/23/20 The greatest time of the Roman Empire coincided with the warmest period of the last 2,000 years in the Mediterranean, according to a study published in the journal Scientific Reports. The climate conditions derived progressively towards arid conditions and later colder ones coinciding with the historical fall of the empire, as stated in the new study, whose principal researchers are Isabel Cacho, Giulia Margaritelli and Albert Català, from the Faculty of Earth Sciences and the Consolidated Research Group on Marine Geosciences of the University of Barcelona. The study also counts on the participation of the experts …

Russian Scientists say period of global cooling ahead due to changes in the sun

WUWT Anthony Watts / April 29, 2013 From Radio Voice of Russia: Russia’s Pulkovo Observatory: “we could be in for a cooling period that lasts 200-250 years” Scientists at Russia’s famous Pulkovo Observatory are convinced that the world is in for a period of global cooling. Graph by David Archibald Global warming which has been the subject of so many discussions in recent years, may give way to global cooling. According to scientists from the Pulkovo Observatory in St.Petersburg, solar activity is waning, so the average yearly temperature will begin to decline as well. Scientists from Britain and the US …

Highest U.S. Temperatures on Record by State

Electroverse July 12, 2020 | Cap Allon Historical documentation destroys the man-made global warming theory. While those in control of the temperature graphs are all too happy to fraudulently increase the running average, what they haven’t (yet) had the chutzpa to do is rewrite the history books. As Tony Heller uncovers on his site realclimatescience, NASA routinely cools the past and heats the present, so to give the illusion of a greater warming trend — and comparisons between old and new graphs instantly reveals this fraud: In 1999, NASA’s James Hansen reported 0.5C US cooling since the 1930’s: By 2016, …
