Snow was falling in the mountains above 7000? at times on the day before Independence Day. Tuesday has been unusually cold for the state as even the lower elevations only had highs in the 50s. Mountain snow, rain and thunderstorms will move through the state tonight.

The 38 F recorded at the airport Tuesday morning is the coldest July temperature in Eugene since record keeping began more than 125 years ago, the National Weather Service in Portland said.

The previous record low - for not only the month of July, but July 3 - was 39 F.

Man made climate change is a hoax being perpetuated for the purpose of conditioning the world into accepting a New World Order, One World Government. The idea that CO2 has more of an effect on the earth than the sun itself is absurd yet more and more people seem to be swallowing the lie hook line and sinker! In this video Dan Dicks of Press For Truth speaks with Lord Christopher Monckton about his latest attempts at countering the propaganda and reversing the trend with sound and solid evidence in the form of a documented report debunking the now infamous theory of global warming.

Environmental data for 2017 are pouring in, and the results might not be what you’d expect.

In the United States, where President Trump has promised to unshackle the coal industry and to abandon an international climate change treaty, greenhouse-gas emissions fell last year and are expected to continue falling.

In Europe, where political leaders consider climate change an urgent priority, emissions rose last year.

In the United States, a report released last week by the Rhodium Group says that even though Trump “continues to unravel Obama-era climate and clean energy policies,” falling costs of renewable energy and natural gas are “keeping U.S. greenhouse gas emissions on the downswing.”

The latest government data show emissions have fallen 12 percent from 2005 to 2016. The Rhodium Group report estimates that by 2020, emissions will have fallen between 15 percent and 17 percent compared with 2005 levels.

In a development that could further advantage OPEC members as they step up production to compensate for falling exports out of Venezuela and (potentially) Iran, the Barents Observer is reporting that two of Russia’s largest Arctic out-shipment points for oil and LNG have become “packed with ice” leaving tankers and carriers stranded in the “paralyzed” area, which hasn’t been this packed with ice at midsummer in four years. Experts had expected that ice clogging up the Gulf of Ob would melt with the summer months, allowing Rosatomflots, the state-owned energy company responsible for the region, to avoid relying on their nuclear-powered icebreakers to clear the area.

While residents in Eastern Canada continue to battle sweltering temperatures, some in British Columbia are experiencing summer snow.

Photos below show a light dusting of snow along the Okanagan Connector (Highway 97C) near Pennask Summit on Monday morning.

Scientists have discovered active volcano heat source under Antartica's fastest-moving and melting glacier - Pine Island Glacier. The surprising find, published recently in Nature Communications, offers insight into the movement and melting of the Pine Island Glacier. The researchers first noted the volcanic activity in 2007 and verified its existence again in 2014.

A researcher from the University of Rhode Island’s Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO) and five other scientists have discovered an active volcanic heat source beneath the Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica.

As much of Atlantic Canada closes out the month of June with heavy rainfall, parts of Newfoundland were left eating their Tuesday morning breakfast with picturesque scenes of Christmas. WAIT! What? It's June 26, NOT December 26. See more of this inappropriate late June snow, below. Oh, and there's frost advisories to add to the misery too.

The Wall Street Journal just published a review of the Global Warming Forecasts for the past 30 years. They have not even come close to the scenarios they put forth back in 1988. On June 23, 1988, the then NASA scientist James E. Hansen who helped to start all this nonsense testified before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. He stated that he expressed had a “high degree of confidence” in “a cause-and-effect relationship between the claimed CO2 induced “greenhouse effect and observed warming.” That is how government characterizes something when they are guessing – “high degree of confidence” which was the same words used to invade Iraq who had weapons of mass destruction. He later came out and said: “Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.” (August 25, 2002). The CIA Director testified before Congress and said: “We said in the estimate with high confidence that Iraq had them.” see Transcript Washington Post).

A federal district court has dismissed the nuisance lawsuit filed by the California cities of Oakland and San Francisco against five major private oil companies seeking to obtain climate change damages. As I argued earlier, the court made the right decision.

The five companies—BP, Chevron, Conoco-Phillips, ExxonMobil, and Royal Dutch Shell—collectively are responsible "for over 11 percent of the carbon dioxide and methane pollution that has accumulated in the atmosphere since the industrial revolution." The cities asserted that they were entitled to billions of dollars in compensation on the grounds that companies knew that their sales of fossil fuels were damaging the climate. As a result of rising global temperatures, municipalities argued that they will be forced to pay for changes in infrastructure required to adapt to consequences of this warming, such as rising sea levels.

Why does anyone EVER believe those in government? They cannot even forecast GDP accurately when they fudge the numbers.

Plans for a $4 billion mega-mall to be built on the coast line city of Miami are pushing forward, despite the fact that the city is likely going to have to deal with rising sea levels and worsening weather as the years progress. Or, it simply could find itself underwater within years, if other projections are accurate.

But don't worry - academics at the University of Penn Wharton School of Business have a solution: just ignore the fact that Miami will soon be underwater, because otherwise you could create a panic that could, in turn, slow down tax revenue that the city is desperately going to need to - wait for it - adapt to being underwater.

So in the great spirit of Keynes himself, the project is pushing forward.

And yet, and yet, CO2 levels were far lower than they are today.

According to a new paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research, the observed mean thickness of the sea ice in the region north of (Arctic) Svalbard was substantially thinner (0.94 m) in 1955 than it has been in recent years (~1.6 m, 2015/2017).

Probably won’t see this in the lame stream media.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration was preparing to take Americans back to the Moon and on to Mars—until President Obama took office.

Obama crippled NASA’s efforts to send astronauts beyond low Earth orbit without international assistance and needed the help of allies to make it to Mars.

The former president redirected America’s space agency from pioneering the future in space exploration and scientific discovery to advancing his so-called social justice agenda — push radical global warming extremism and Muslim outreach.

SYDNEY is coping the worst of the freezing weather lashing towns and cities along Australia’s east — and the bad news is it’s going to get even colder.

Former housing secretary, now home secretary, Sajid Javid has claimed that the cladding that the developers used was in breach of fire regulations, because it was flammable. But he was trying to pass the buck. The fire regulations only state that the insulation should be fire resistant, not the cladding that protects it.

In hindsight, it is easy to see that Grenfell’s refurbishment made the building unsafe. But why was the building refurbished in this way in the first place?

The ‘policy context’ for the Grenfell Tower Regeneration Project, according to its ‘sustainability and energy statement’, is the Climate Change Act of 2008. ‘The council recognises the government’s targets to reduce national carbon dioxide emissions’, and ‘to deliver this, the council will’ carry out its plan for ‘conversions and refurbishments of 800m2 or more of residential developments’.

Valle Nevado, Chile has just announced they will open to the public early this Friday, June 15th after receiving a healthy 40" over the weekend. The best part yet? Winter's arrival isn't unique to Chile, with lifts turning in Australia, New Zealand, and across South America, we can be sure to see news of big storms hitting across the board any day now.

By greatly underestimating their greenhouse gas emissions, the livestock industry is placing the Paris Climate Agreement in jeopardy because we do not know just how big an impact this industry is having on climate change

Yes, I know. We brought back the “s” word. Snow is in the forecast for the higher elevations of the pacific northwest this weekend. A decently strong storm system is set to move onshore by Friday. Here’s the setup: A trough with decent amounts of available energy will move into the Gulf of Alaska by Friday afternoon.

A MASSIVE subterranean heat source – identical to that triggering Hawaii’s volcano - has been discovered under the West Antarctic Ice Shelf – a glacial area often cited by environmentalists as a ‘climate change’ disaster waiting to happen.

But NASA scientists have discovered a fiercely hot geothermal heat source known as a mantle plume underneath the Antarctica’s Marie Byrd Land.

In the year 2000 an iceberg the size of Wales broke away from the shelf and the whole of the western edge is famously unstable.

Many environmentalists blamed man-made climate change.

It is June 6 and it is snowing in Charlottetown.

Okay Mother Nature, this isn't funny anymore. As if the record-breaking snowstorm less than two weeks ago wasn't enough, Newfoundland just got hit with even more snow.

Photos are starting to emerge of Newfoundland covered in a blanket of fresh snow. The snow came down yesterday, and continued to fall into the night.

Temperatures in the St. John's and Gander areas dropped down to -8°C with the windchill last night. Needless to say, the people of Newfoundland were not happy when they woke up this morning.

These photos will break your heart, and will make you feel ridiculous for ever complaining about our scorching start to the summer.

Climate change is over. No, I’m not saying the climate will not change in the future, or that human influence on the climate is negligible. I mean simply that climate change is no longer a pre-eminent policy issue. All that remains is boilerplate rhetoric from the political class, frivolous nuisance lawsuits, and bureaucratic mandates on behalf of special-interest renewable-energy rent seekers.

Residents in Newfoundland are digging out from a late spring snowstorm, with some areas buried under at least 30 centimetres of snow on May 24.

Environment Canada had issued snowfall warnings for several communities in the coastal province, including Gander and Grand Falls, while more than 30 centimetres of snow had already dumped on the region.

Bonavista Peninsula and Clarenville-area remained under a special weather statement Thursday and dozens of schools had postponed the start of classes as a result of the weather.

A severe storm swept over French capital Paris on May 22, 2018, flooding streets and Metro stations. Just a few days ago, intense hailstorm further south in Vaucluse destroyed almost a year's worth of Luberon cherry tree crops.

The capital's streets looked more like rivers and stairwells like waterfalls, The Connexion reports. Areas in the north and the west of the city are said to be the most affected.

Heavy rain was accompanied by an intense hailstorm, leaving some parts of the city under a significant amount of ice.

A leading university has become embroiled in a major research scandal, after an inquiry found that scientific papers were doctored over an eleven year period.

Professor David Latchman, Master of Birkbeck and one of the country’s top geneticists, is accused of “recklessness” by allowing research fraud to take place under his watch at University College London’s (UCL) Institute of Child Health.

UCL launched a formal investigation after a whistleblower made allegations of research fraud in dozens papers published by scientists at the Institute.

A CLIMATE study published this week threatens to radically change the way we understand the causes of changes in global climates and how we could be caught in a 405,000-year-long cycle of shifting climate.

A team of scientists studying ancient rocks in the arid Arizona desert believe Earth’s orbit plays a vital role in cyclical climate changes.

Although astrophysicists have long toyed with the idea celestial movements affect Earth’s climate, the study’s authors may have just produced the first concrete evidence.

The scientists now think the gravitational forces of Venus and Jupiter shift Earth’s round orbit into a more elliptical one in a regular cycle.

Record snowpack, temperatures as high as 30 °C (86 °F) and 2 days of intense rain have caused historic floods in parts of British Columbia over the past couple of days. In Grand Forks, the flood is worst since 1948. Things are not over yet, officials said, warning that second wave of floods is expected mid-week.

Major flooding hit British Columbia on May 10, 2018, forcing about 4 000 people to evacuate their homes.

"The spring food season is upon us," BC Premier John Horgan said. "Heavy rainfall, warm weather and rapid snowmelt have triggered flood warnings and evacuations in the Interior. More than 4 000 British Columbians have been forced from their homes, while thousands more anxiously wait to see what rising flood waters will mean for their homes and their livelihoods."

William Stanley Jevons, probably the world’s first mathematical economist, observed that crop yields declined when sunspots were fewer. That makes sense as the sun’s radiance is crucial for raising plants. Piers Corbyn, one of the world’s best weathermen, has been telling us we are entering a mini Ice Age or Grand Solar Minimum where for some reason the sun produces less solar radiance thus cooling ever so slightly our planet. The most famous cooling period in modern history was called the Maunder Minimum which occurred from 1645 to 1715.

If we study the history and the science of these previous Minimums, what can we expect starting as early as 2019 according to Corbyn?

Heavy rains and hailstorm hit Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district, India, on May 9, 2018, trapping 10 families of a nomadic tribe on hills in the Thanamandi area and killing over 110 animals, mostly sheep and goats. The state government also said that standing crops spread over 100 hectares and over a dozen orchards were damaged.

The state administration launched a major operation to rescue the families trapped in the higher reaches of the area, District Development Commissioner (DDC), Rajouri, Shahid Iqbal Choudhary, said, according to United News of India. All the members of the trapped Gujjar and Bakerwal tribes escaped unhurt and were subsequently rescued in a night-long operation.

There was no immediate report of any casualties, but over 110 small animals, mostly sheep, and goats, were killed in the hailstorm and rain, Choudhary said.

Kedarnath yatra was halted on Tuesday morning following continuous snowfall at the famous Himalayan shrine and adjoining areas since last midnight.

According to Mangesh Ghildiyal, district magistrate of Rudraprayag, the entire Kedar valley received around 3 inch of snowfall following which the pilgrims have been stopped to proceed ahead from Sonprayag.

While attention right now is on the flooding impacts along the Clark Fork River in Missoula, hydrologists have some of their focus much further upstream, where they're watching a record snowpack finally starting to melt.

Most of Missoula's flooding problems are starting in the high country of the Blackfoot drainage, where places like the Swan and the backside of the Mission Mountains are still buried in snow.

"The Bob Marshall Wilderness, the Mission Mountains, some of the mountains that are over along the Continental Divide, just still a lot of water left to come out of those," said National Weather Service Hydrologist Ray Nickless.

Al Gore has been accused of hypocrisy for talking the talk on climate change despite burning through fossil fuels at a rapid clip, but it turns out he’s not alone.

A study by Cornell and the University of Michigan researchers found that those “highly concerned” about climate change were less likely to engage in recycling and other eco-friendly behaviors than global-warming skeptics.

Everyone knows that trying to control the climate by reducing CO2 emissions is a joke -- or at least, everyone knows it who is not completely deluded by climate zealotry. But this is one of those jokes that you're not allowed to laugh at. Instead, you must listen to terribly earnest people telling you how desperately important this is to "save the planet," even as you know that the whole thing is completely preposterous and you are struggling to suppress uncontrolled snickering. Should you respond by making fun of them? If so -- and if you don't want to risk physical violence -- you had better do it in a way that they are too blinded to understand. Fortunately, this is much easier than you might think.

It will be raining most of the morning. If you're heading west, be prepared for winter driving conditions along Interstate 70.

A spring day in Lee Canyon on Tuesday morning looked more like a snow day in mid-February.

Snow poured down over the ski operation that ended its snow season in April. The winter playground is now in transition to be prepped for summer activities.

Josh Bean, the director of mountain operations at Lee Canyon, said last year they saw about 160 inches of snow, the largest they've seen in a couple of decades.

The upper Midwest and Great Lakes states are known for their long, punishing winters. But an abnormally cold April made 2017-2018’s version seem endless.

Temperatures some 8 to 14 degrees below normal, averaged over the entire month, resulted in one of the most frigid Aprils on record in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Temperatures ranked among the top five coldest during the month in most locations in this region, including Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Des Moines and Chicago.

Cold air and abundant moisture will lead to a round of heavy snow in the higher elevations across the West. Winter weather alerts extend from the Laramie Range in Wyoming to Big Bear in California. More than a foot may fall in the highest elevations, especially in the Rockies of Colorado.

Snow was reported in Flagstaff and along Mogollon Rim communities, a surprising early May dusting, as well as in areas around the Tinder Fire northeast of Payson, where firefighters have been working to control the wildfire that has scorched more than 11,000 acres, scorched homes and forced evacuations.

A cold weather system brought spring snow to the San Bernardino Mountains Wednesday, with chain controls announced for mountain highways north of the San Gorgonio Pass.

Flagstaff might get snow on Wednesday.

According to the National Weather Service office there, the city has a decent chance — 46 percent, to be specific — of seeing snow on May 2.

Snow in May? Does that give Arizonans a crazy “this winter won’t end” story to swap with friends and family back East?

One would not normally ignore a herd of stampeding elephants headed your way yet that is exactly what we are doing in terms of cold climate change, which is already overrunning Canada and great parts of the United States, Europe, Russia and parts of China.

It was the 20th of April and 90 percent of Canada was still covered with snow as was 25 percent of the continental United States. “We are in uncharted territory for winter snow remaining,” say meteorologist Jerry Shields. These are “historic numbers.” It is now May first and we are still having winter storms in the continental United States and freeze warnings for eastern KY and for parts of eastern Ohio and WV.

Police in southwestern Switzerland say four Alpine climbers have died and another five others were in critical condition after becoming trapped overnight by an unexpected snowstorm and high winds.

Flurries and wet snow fell across North Jersey on Monday, the last day of April.

The freak spring snow came down fairly heavily in late morning and lasted about 45 minutes. It nearly stuck in West Milford, but not quite.

In addition to West Milford and Greenwood Lake, New York, snow was reported in Mahwah (Bergen County), Jefferson (Morris County), and Sparta and Vernon (Sussex County).

What they found was shocking: Simulations carried out by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change were way off. According to Curry and Lewis, these predictions overestimate the future impact of “climate change” by between 30 and 45 percent.

While people in the Twin Cities are keeping an eye on fire and flood warnings, the Duluth area is seeing yet another spring snowstorm.

French President Emmanuel Macron defiantly told US Congress, Wednesday, “there is no planet B,” generally amassing gushing praise from the MSM. Others, however, took Macron to task, pointing out his alleged hypocrisy.
The statement was made as Macron addressed Congress on climate change, taking aim at Trump’s decision to pull the US out of the Paris agreement.

However, some social media users offered a more skeptical reception to the speech and were quick to draw attention to the French president’s hypocrisy.

“So stop bombing Planet A,” was the hard-hitting rebuke from one Twitter user. Earlier this month France joined the US and the UK in launching airstrikes on Syria in response to an alleged chemical weapons attack on the town of Douma. Macron said at the time he had proof that the Syrian government was responsible for the alleged attack.

In their mad rush to "combat climate change," the UK is burning "biomass" rather than coal. In practice, this means leveling huge swaths of American forest for fuel.

The UK could see snow again this week with temperatures set to drop.

The Lake District, North Pennines and Scottish Highlands are most at risk of a return of the white stuff, according to the Met Office, as bookies slashed the odds on snow to fall this month.

Cold temperatures will be an unwelcome arrival for people across the UK after the recent hot spell that saw the mercury hit a record-breaking 29C (84.2F) in central London.

Met Office meteorologist John West said: “Towards the end of the week it is certainly possible that the cold weather will include hail, sleet showers and snow, especially on higher ground. The areas most at risk are the Lake District, North Pennines and Scottish Highlands, but we are not expecting a big impact.”

Tuesday Wisconsin's agriculture secretary visited local farms to see what damages they're dealing with after the snow storm, but it's not just broken barn buildings that are causing issues.

Local farmers are seeing low production of milk from stressed cows, delayed planting seasons and some have had to dump milk because tankers couldn't get to snowed-in farms.

"When our barn started to go down, my husband, you could see it in his demeanor," says Amy Zernicke of Zernicke Landstad Dairy. "His actions, everything was just down in the dumps and scared because what are you to do when it happens?"

Jay Vomastic said Saturday, April 14 everything was still intact.

But Sunday morning around 5 o'clock he realized his cows were in danger and the property was falling apart.

"It's sad to see years of work and things that your grandfather and father built things up to be where it was," says Vomastic. "One freak snowstorm and everything is swept away."
