"We realize," said Dr Oliver Lee, director of Northwestern Univ Dearborn Observatory, "that the Army and Navy are working on all sorts of things we know nothing about."

NICAP UFO Report
Extension of Remarks of Hon. Leonard G. Wolf of Iowa in the House of Representatives
Wednesday, August 31, 1960

We are sure you will agree it is imperative to end the risk of accidental war from defense forces' confusion over UFO's. Defense personnel, not merely top-level groups, should be told that the UFO's are real and should be trained to
distinguish them - by their characteristic speeds and maneuvers - from conventional planes and missiles. This is not in effect today.

Second, the American people must be convinced, by documented facts, that the UFO's could not be Soviet machines.

July 6, 1975: Warren A. Klope shattered the world record for stone skipping after sending a flat rock that bounced 24 times along the waters of Lake Superior. Breaking the former world record of 21 skips, set by Carl Weiholdt of Denmark in 1957, Klope's mark was set at the annual International Stone Skipping Tournament at Mackinac Island, Michigan.



The Guinness World Record for the furthest distance skimmed using natural stone stands at 121.8m for men, established by Dougie Isaacs (Scotland), and 52.5m for women, thrown by Nina Luginbuhl (Switzerland). These records were made on 28 May 2018 at Abernant Lake, Llanwrtyd Wells, Powys, Wales.

Fun fact: “stone-skipping” is called different phrases in different languages.

In Czech it’s called “throwing froggies” (dělat žabky).

In Danish it’s called “slipping” (smut).

In Finnish it’s called “throwing sandwiches” (heittää voileipiä).

In Hungarian it’s called “making it walk like a duck” (kacsáztatás).

In Mongolian it’s called “making the dog lick.”

In Ukrainian it’s called “letting your frogs out.”

In Farsi it’s called “bashing Syrians.”

Kurt "The Mountain Man" Steiner holds the world record with "88" skips



It is impossible to go beyond "88" as the stone skips back in time and lost forever.

USA No.1 on this day in 1982: Survivor - Eye Of The Tiger (over 1 Billion views)



July 6, 1946: Rocky - Sylvester Stallone was born in New York City.



Since the beginning of the Earth 4.5 billion years ago, Mother Nature has adapted to climate changes. And since the dawn of humanity, we have too.

So why do we, the most powerful civilization ever seen, delude ourselves that a few hotter summer days is a catastrophe that we can't possiby handle? Some of the hottest days ever recorded within the US were in the 1930s...And we're still here, now with air conditioning.




When will the world get to NetZero?

Never. (at least ya better pray we don't, ever)

In the meantime, NetZero is economic suicide.

When will the world start decreasing emissions?

Not within the foreseeable future.

If so, then it seems climate change is inevitable.

We should stop the futile fighting about it and adapt to it instead.

FOR many years BP have published an annual review of global energy markets. This year the job has been taken over by the Energy Institute, but the analysis of production and consumption of energy by country remains the same.

The latest review published last week confirms what we have known for a long time. Net Zero is further away than ever in the world as a whole. These are the highlights:

- Emissions of CO2 are up by 1.2 per cent in 2024 from the year before;
- Total energy consumption rose by 2.1 per cent;
- Fossil fuel use rose by 1.5 per cent, with its share of total energy dropping only slightly from 87.0 per cent to 86.6 per cent;
- Wind and solar power share barely rose at all – from 2.5 per cent to 2.8 per cent;
- In absolute terms, wind and solar increased by 2.3 exajoules, while fossil fuels went up by 7.6 exajoules between 2023 and 2024.

In other words, despite the trillions invested in renewable energy in recent years, the growth in output last year met only a quarter of the world’s increasing appetite for energy.

The chart below of CO2 emissions shows just what an irrelevant sideshow the richer OECD countries have now become:



While we in the West struggle to pare back emissions at a huge cost to our economies, the developing world, which includes China and India, have been carrying on with business as usual. Since the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, their annual emissions have increased by 20 per cent.

We all know that China continues to use more and more fossil fuels. Despite the misinformation regularly put out by the legacy media, wind and solar power in that country still sits at only 4 per cent of total energy consumption.

It is exactly the same story in the rest of the developing world. They have the sense to realise that only fossil fuels can provide the energy they need to build their economies and give their citizens the standard of living they deserve.



BBC misinformation

I COULD not resist googling ‘BBC China Renewables’! I used the ‘past year’ filter. You would be forgiven for not believing, having read this lot, that China gets only 4 per cent of its energy from wind and solar, a third less than we do here in the UK!


The climate scaremongers: Net Zero is further away than ever

Sir Keir Starmer & his energy secretary Edward Miliband and the Taliban attended the Cop29 climate summit last Novemeber making their own contribution to 'Net Zero' by flying 2,500 miles to what they imagined was a 'bigwig' climate conference. But they were the only bigwigs who arrived. All the others stood them up. And they flew a lonely 2,500 miles home again. Not even the EU queen Ursula von der Leyen bothered to attend.


I suppose a climate conference is ideal territory for Starmer. It is based on words and promises that produce documents promising Change and nothing happens. That is home territory for Sir K. So much better than messy Parliament.

They should hold the next COP climate conference at the South Pole - to show how fast it's melting? LOL. OOps, it does not fit the narrative.

In 2008 Ed Miliband vowed we would 'Lead the World' by reducing carbon emissions. And they'd all follow our virtuous example!

So what happened?

UK is down 44%. But the World is UP 18%.

Nobody really cares about emissions.

"So what happened?"

This is what happened - all thanks to Ed Miliband.

Besotted with the barmy thoughts of a perpetual pre-pubescent doom goblin.


If in fact the world is heating up, good! Cold kills and what's worse than freezing to death...famine.


Do you ever wonder if 'Auntie' BBC is telling you the whole story about climate? When senior managers enroll on 6-month climate indoctrination courses - at taxpayer's expense - you can be sure they're not! The green grifters...
