Weather Channel Founder John Coleman: There is no significant man-made global warming at this time
John Coleman, the founder of Weather Channel, has written an open letter, in which he claims the theory of anthropogenic climate change is no longer scientifically credible. So far The Express, a major British newspaper, and the American news service WND, have provided favorable coverage of the letter. The Express article has also been linked to by the Drudge Report, giving it wide exposure.

McConnell: Self-Funding Multimillionaire Investing More Money In His Source Of Wealth-- His Sleazy Political Career
DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 28 minutes ago
Last week we looked at PolitiFact verify that Mitch McConnell is the number
one recipient of lobbyist money in the entire Congress. McConnell has used
his Senate office to become immensely wealthy, primarily by being an
unregistered agent of the Chinese Communist government and pushing their
agenda. As the September 30 FEC reporting deadline, McConnell had already
raised $26,896,568 and spent $21,494,327 to Alison Grimes' $16,250,304

“Have you ever seen a sun pillar? When the air is cold and the Sun is
rising or setting, falling ice crystals can reflect sunlight and create an

crystals to lie nearly flat much of the time as they flutter to the ground.
Sunlight reflects off crystals that are properly aligned, creating the

"• The soul is immortal, and its future is the future of a thing whose

by the one who desires perception.
• Each of us is our own absolute lawgiver, the dispenser of glory or
gloom to ourselves, the decreer of our life, our reward, our punishment.
These truths which are as great as is life itself are as simple as the

If that's what you think, then you believe unresearched smears from the "mainstream media," which accept the government's lies as the truth in order to keep their jobs.

This may be the only 3-hour video I've ever watched outside a movie theater. For those with less time, after a 5-min introduction Putin has the floor for 35 minutes (with simultaneous English translation).

Navy tests MQ-8C unmanned helos
Ko Savonije at Naval Open Source INTelligence - 19 hours ago
Northrop Grumman's MQ-8C unmanned autonomous helicopter has completed
precision sloped landing tests at a U.S. Navy base in California.
The testing of Fire Scout at Naval Base Ventura County, Point Mugu, was to
further validate the aircraft's capabilities in preparation for at-sea
testing later this year.
"The sloped takeoff and landing tests are designed to be as real as it gets
to actually operating on a Navy ship," said Capt. Patrick Smith, Fire Scout
program manager at Naval Air Systems Command. "The autonomous MQ-8C Fire

[image: USS Toledo]The Navy's top maintenance official warned this week
that the service is "in a tail-chase" to get submarines and ships the
overhauls they need, with some running much longer than foreseen.
Vice Adm. William Hilarides said the shipyards got backed up because of
budget cuts and a hiring freeze that left thousands of jobs unfilled at
Naval Sea Systems Command, which Hilarides leads.
"We found ourselves almost 2,000 people behind out of a workforce of
30,000, on an increasing workload ... and we fell behind," he said.

But. if you insist on taking speculation seriously, try Richard Petschauer Oct 23 7:27pm
..... If CO2 and hydrogen combine to form methane (CH4), this must be a cooling a process because if we do the reverse and burn CH4 (which is basically the same as natural gas) by combining it with oxygen, heat is generated. So energy must be required to do the reverse. So this cools the surface. Then if the CH4 rises in the atmosphere and later combines with oxygen or ozone, heat is generated at this place. While part of this heat wil increase the surface temperature and partially offset the original cooling, the remaining increases the heat being radiated to outer space.
