When it comes to climate science, basically, researchers, mainstream media outlets, the UN, and the Democrats simply make things up as they go along to fit the narrative. When
the earth didn’t warm up as much as they predicted, they changed the terminology from global warming to climate change. When hundreds of dire predictions never came true, and they had no scientific data to support their policies to destroy industries and our quality and way of life, they just made things up, just like they did with COVID. Now, take a look at this, from The Washington Post, via Yahoo...

Scientists have been striving to tackle the accelerating climate crisis by developing novel ways to develop sustainable cooling materials. Recently,
a team of researchers from Sichuan University in China has devised an aerogel composed of gelatin and DNA that surpassed 100 percent solar reflectance. Additionally, an official statement by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) noted that the aerogel is biodegradable and provides exceptional radiative cooling. Aerogel crossed over 100% solar reflectivity Jian-Wen Ma, the first author of the study researching and developing the aerogel material told Interesting Engineering that the material has a reflectivity of 104...

| 07/05/2024 | TOBIAS BURNS
The uptick in the June unemployment rate along with significant downward revisions in the job additions for April and May are the latest signs that the economy may be slowing down under high Federal Reserve interest rates. The
Friday numbers from the Labor Department showed the unemployment rate increasing to 4.1 percent in June from 4 percent in April, the third month in a row of 0.1-percentage point increases. Jobs added to the economy in May were revised down to 218,000 from 272,000 and in April to 108,000 from 165,000. While the economy added a healthy 206,000 jobs in the...

AC-free ambition for Paris Olympics melts away as organisers order 2,500 cooling units

France24 ^
| July 2, 2024
The Paris Olympic village will be fitted with 2,500 temporary cooling units when athletes arrive later this month, organisers said Tuesday, in a blow to the event's eco-friendly credentials. The
organising committee had initially announced they would steer clear of air conditioning in the athletes' accommodation, instead using a geothermal cooling system. The complex in a northern suburb of Paris was built as a showcase of environmentally friendly technology and has a geothermal cooling system that uses cool water pumped from deep beneath the ground. But the lack of air-conditioning has long worried some national Olympic teams, with athletes concerned...

We’ve been accidentally cooling the planet — and it’s about to stop
|
| |
Washington Post ^
| 06 25 2024 | Shannon Osaka
It is widely accepted that humans have been heating up the planet for over a century by burning coal, oil and gas. Earth
has already warmed by almost 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit) since preindustrial times, and the planet is poised to race past the hoped-for limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming. But fewer people know that burning fossil fuels doesn’t just cause global warming — it also causes global cooling. It is one of the great ironies of climate change that air pollution, which has killed tens of millions, has also curbed some of the worst effects...

As the heat rises with F-35 upgrades, inside Collins’s bet on a new cooling system

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. — For several years, a problem has been brewing for Lockheed Martin’s F-35: future upgrades will make the jet run even hotter than it does now, more than its current cooling system is believed to be able to handle. In
the near term, Pentagon officials expect that a high-profile upgrade to the plane’s F135 engine will avoid most of these cooling issues. But in the longer term, the military fears future aircraft upgrades needed to keep pace with threats decades down the line will push the heat factor even higher, and officials have recently suggested they’re casting...

Federal Reserve to Keep Hiking Interest Rates as US Economy Not Cooling — Chairman Powell
|

Infowars / Sputnik ^
| Aug 26 | Sputnik
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – The Federal Reserve will keep raising interest rates as long as it is needed to bring inflation back to its long-term target of 2% per year given that the US economy is not cooling as was initially thought, Chairman Jerome Powell said on Friday. “It is the Fed’s job
to bring inflation down to our 2% goal, and we will do so,” Powell stressed, opening the US central bank’s annual symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Inflation hit four-decade highs of more than 9% per year in June 2022 due to trillions of dollars of federal relief spending...

Study Led by the University College London (Ucl) Suggests That an Extreme Cooling Period Approximately 1.1 Million
Years Ago Likely Contributed to the Extinction of Early Human Populations in Europe.Based on palaeoclimate evidence, the researchers found the occurrence of previously unknown extreme glacial conditions that pushed the European climate to levels beyond what archaic humans could tolerate, emptying the continent of human populations.The earliest human remains discovered in Europe originate from Iberia and provide evidence that early humans had migrated from southwest Asia around 1.4 million years ago...Researchers from UCL, the University of Cambridge, and CSIC Barcelona studied the chemical...

The Globe Is Cooling, Not Boiling: Why Is Media Still Predicting Eco-Apocalypse?

| 07/30/2023 | Catherine Salgado
Despite the fact that climate alarmists have been obviously and wildly wrong for more than 50 years now in their predictions, they continue to demand absolute credulity for their moanings and screechings about the supposed imminent catastrophe of global warming. The
real meltdown isn’t from glaciers, it’s from the climate alarmist mainstream media. But why? Totally ignoring evidence from multiple sources showing that the globe is cooling overall and that their “record heat” announcements are flat-out wrong, the mainstream media continues to predict eco-apocalypse. Since it’s not a fact-brd narrative, why exactly is the media still pushing it? A few...

The Upper Atmosphere Is Cooling, Prompting New Climate Concerns

| 18/5/23 | Fred Pearce
There is a paradox at the heart of our changing climate. While
the blanket of air close to the Earth’s surface is warming, most of the atmosphere above is becoming dramatically colder. The same gases that are warming the bottom few miles of air are cooling the much greater expanses above that stretch to the edge of space. This paradox has long been predicted by climate modelers, but only recently quantified in detail by satellite sensors. The new findings are providing a definitive confirmation on one important issue, but at the same time raising other questions. The good news for...

Pfizer's Earnings Fall With Cooling Demand for Covid-19 Products
|
| |
MSN ^
| 5/2 | Peter Loftus
Pfizer’s latest quarterly results underscored the pressure the drugmaker is facing to sustain sales growth by hitting on drugs in development and recent acquisitions as demand wanes for its leading Covid-19 products. Pfizer’s
first-quarter revenue and earnings were down by nearly a third from a year ago on plummeting demand for its Covid-19 vaccine, though the results topped Wall Street expectations. The company also faces sales declines for big-selling products in coming years due to expected patent expirations that will clear the way for lower-cost competition. Pfizer could lose $17 billion in sales from these patent losses.

The company is no longer flying the flawed Rocket 3 line that made its last flight in June 2022, when it failed to deliver two NASA cubesats to orbit after a second-stage failure. A
"runaway event" caused the catastrophic loss of Astra's final Rocket 3 launch last June, the company announced Wednesday (March 1). Astra's Launch Vehicle 0010 lost two NASA hurricane-tracking cubesats on June 12, 2022 after a second-stage failure of its booster, called Rocket 3.3. The overall Rocket 3 line, facing a reported five failures in seven launches, was canceled in August; Astra is working to make improvements...

Just Like The Fed! Despite Cooling Inflation, Forecasts Of Fed Rate Hikes Increase To Peaking In July 2023

| 02/09/2023 | Anthony B. Sanders
It’s just like The Fed to ignore what is going on and do something else. The
one statement that Biden made in his State of the Union Address that was factually accurate was that inflation is coming down. Of course, he then blew it by saying he inherited inflation from Trump which was not true. Headline inflation (CPI YoY) was only 1.4% when Biden was sworn-in as President and rose to 9.1% YoY by June 2021 before finally starting to decline. But despite the cooling of inflation (and M2 Money growth), The Fed seems hell bent on increasing their target...

United States Yield Curve 3M10Y Most Inverted In 30+ Years! (But Other Assets Signaling Cooling Odds Of Recession)

The first headline I saw when I turned on Bloomberg.com was “DOJ Officials Find More Classified Documents at President Biden’s Home.” This is an improvement! So
far, the task has been handled by Biden’s private attorneys who don’t have proper security clearance; at least the Justice Department is finally getting involved! But back to the US yield curve. It is now the most inverted in 30+ years as M2 Money growth stalls. Inverted yield curves have preceded recessions in the past. But as China reopens and Europe is experiencing a warmer winter than expected (meaning that Europe has sufficient natural...

AirJet’s solid-state cooling could radically improve tomorrow’s laptops

The AirJet has the potential to absolutely revolutionize the way we build thin-and-light laptops, or maybe even computers in general. For
a long, long time, PCs have been chasing the idea of “no moving parts” as a platonic ideal for efficiency and reliability. And for just as long, active cooling has been an impediment to this goal: for high-powered electronics, you just can’t beat a fan and moving air for cooling stuff down. Or can you? Frore Systems’ AirJet is a radical solid-state approach to active cooling, and Gordon has the scoop at CES 2023. . . . . ....

The U.S. capped off 2022 with another month of strong job growth and wage gains, according to federal data released Friday, a sign that the U.S. economy and inflation could be harder to tame than expected. The
economy added 223,000 jobs in December and brought the unemployment rate down to 3.5 percent, back down to its pre-pandemic level in February 2020, the Labor Department reported Friday. Wage growth also stayed brisk as earnings rose 0.3 percent in November and 4.6 percent over the past 12 months.

Biden, Pointing to Cooling Inflation, Extols His Economic Policies

A slowdown in price gains delivered a second dose of welcome news for President Biden, who has spent months on the defensive about rapid inflation and his handling of the economy. The
moderation comes just two days after his party defied the kind of political blood bath that many had expected given voter concerns about the economy, including price gains that hit a 40-year high this summer. Mr. Biden took quick credit for the slowdown in the Consumer Price Index on Thursday, saying in a statement that his policies are helping to cool price gains while acknowledging there could be...
