The US space agency research claims an increase in Antarctic snow accumulation that began 10,000 years ago is "currently adding enough ice to the continent to outweigh the increased losses from melting glaciers. Global warming theories have been thrown into doubt after Nasa also claimed current horror predictions into future sea-level rises may not be as severe.

Major studies previously made the case for global warming being a man-made problem, including the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) 2013 report, which said that Antarctica was overall losing land ice. But a Nasa spokesman said: "According to the new analysis of satellite data, the Antarctic ice sheet showed a net gain of 112 billion tons of ice a year from 1992 to 2001. "That net gain slowed to 82 billion tons of ice per year between 2003 and 2008."

Siberia’s wildfire season has lengthened in recent years and the 2015 blazes were among the biggest yet, caking the lake, the “Pearl of Siberia”, in ash and scorching the surrounding permafrost. But the Russian public heard little mention of climate change, because media coverage across state-controlled television stations and print media all but ignored it. On national TV, the villains were locals who routinely but carelessly burn off tall grasses every year, and the sometimes incompetent crews struggling to put the fires out.

While Western media have examined the role of rising temperatures and drought in this year’s record wildfires in North America, Russian media continue to pay little attention to an issue that animates so much of the world. The indifference reflects widespread public doubt that human activities play a significant role in global warming, a tone set by President Vladimir Putin, who has offered only vague and modest pledges of emissions cuts ahead of December’s UN climate summit in Paris.

Russia’s official view appears to have changed little since 2003, when Putin told an international climate conference that warmer temperatures would mean Russians “spend less on fur coats” while “agricultural specialists say our grain production will increase, and thank God for that”.

In other parts of the US, working wind turbines are killing hundreds of thousands of birds and bats each year, but here the wildlife can perch on the motionless steel blades. If any spot was tailor-made for a wind farm it would surely be here. The gales are so strong and relentless on the tip of South Point that trees grow almost horizontally. Yet the 27-year-old Kamaoa Wind Farm remains a relic of the boom and inglorious bust of America’s so-called ‘wind rush’, the world’s first major experiment in wind energy.

At a time when the EU and the British Government are fully paid-up evangelists for wind power, the lesson from America — and the ghostly hulks on this far-flung coast — should be a warning of their folly. Few people were talking about saving the planet back in the early Eighties. The wind rush was a free-for-all in which get-rich-quick companies exploited ridiculously generous tax breaks to pepper the States with thousands of wind turbines.

For anyone who has questioned Downing Street’s controversial pledge — spurred on by EU green targets — to give £400 million-a-year subsidies to wind farms as well as hefty bribes to landowners in order to spur the building of an additional 4,500 turbines, the wind rush may sound eerily familiar. Indeed, America’s growing band of wind sceptics insist that what happened three decades ago in the US could easily recur over the next few years in the UK if the wheels come off the wind energy gravy train once again.

Last April, dozens of Arab youths, some masked, rioted on the Temple Mount, throwing stones and fire crackers at security forces deployed to the scene. The clashes led to the compound being closed to visitors and the arrests of dozens suspected of violent acts. Such scenes constantly reoccur in the compound. Given that any development related to the flashpoint location could result in wide-spread Palestinian unrest, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will likely try to torpedo the proposal.

If that were to happen, Regev, who heads an Knesset's Internal Affairs committee, will turn to the High Court of Justice for resolution of the sensitive issue. Initially, Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs Rabbi Eli Ben-Dahan attempted to change worshipping rights on the Mount through regulations, but delay in their implementation led Regev to seek a quicker resolution. "There is no reason that Jews should not be allowed to pray in the holiest site in the world," she said on Saturday.

Regev said she would not desist until that was achieved. "I firmly believe that each event of Muslim unrest on the Mount should lead to its closure to Arabs. The prime minister is not the only decider on the issue, and if the proposal does not pass I'll turn to the High Court for Justice in a public petition until Jews are allowed to pray with tallit and tefillin on the Temple Mount."

The Likud MK emphasized that the bill's aim was not unrealistic: "When we enforced Israeli law on the Golan Heights they said it would cause riots. But just like the sky doesn't come tumbling down when Jews pray in the Cave of the Patriarchs, the sky will not fall now."

The article, published on the infamous clickbait rag Salon.com, further proves that there is indeed a war on Christianity being waged by hard left zealots who absolutely despise Christians themselves and want nothing more than to fully remove the religion from the country.

To Tayler, and his apparent supporters at Salon, God is mankind’s “sworn enemy” while Satan is their ally in combating the Almighty. But remember, only crazed right wingers think that the liberal media is conducting psychological warfare on Christians throughout the country. “This is a direct example of a popular liberal writer gushing over the greatness of Satan; yet the American people are expected to believe that no one is attacking their religious liberty?”

Why is the liberal media promoting Satan while calling for disrespecting all Christians if there really is no such thing as a War on Christianity? Keep in mind that Tayler’s piece isn’t just the ramblings of a hate monger. It was prominently featured on a high traffic liberal mainstream news outlet that has a history of anti Christian bias. Make no mistake, Tayler’s beliefs are held by a startling number of left leaning extremists throughout every facet of the country.

He said: ‘Halloween is really a spiritual gathering presented as a form of game.’ ‘Europe is pulling away from God and Jesus and worshipping Satan. So should we really be surprised that the world seems to be going to wrack and ruin.

'And psychiatrical and psychological studies show that children can’t sleep, are agitated, depressed, obsessed, suicidal?’ Pope Francis likes to insist that Satan is real and speaks frequently about the Devil’s work.

“Microplastics are a particular threat to organisms due to their small size and their capacity to absorb persistent organic pollutants,” said the report, led by Shi Huahong of the university’s Institute of Estuarine and Coastal Research and peer-reviewed in Environmental Science and Technology. Although the oceans close to China appear to be a “hotspot” for microplastic pollutants, it is unlikely Chinese table salt is the only salt that is contaminated with plastics.

“Plastics have become such a ubiquitous contaminant, I doubt it matters whether you look for plastic in sea salt on Chinese or American supermarket shelves,” Sherri Mason, an environmental science researcher at the State University of New York Fredonia told Scientific American. “I’d like to see some ‘me-too’ studies,” she added.

The TEC recommends an indefinite moratorium on the field trials of GM crops until the government devises a proper regulatory and safety mechanism. Prominent campaigner Aruna Rodrigues argues that official regulators have hidden all data about GM mustard from the public and the independent scientific community, which is against constitutional provisions and the orders of the Supreme Court. She concludes this means one thing: mandatory rigorous biosafety protocols have not been carried out and the data pertaining to ‘mustard DMH 11’ therefore needs to be concealed.

Rodrigues asserts that the secrecy surrounding GM mustard exemplifies the appalling state of regulation and smacks of corruption. She concludes the Indian government is using underhand means to introduce GM crops into Indian agriculture and that there appears to be no place for science or transparency in this process.

Marcus Söder, the Bavarian finance minister and a potential future CSU chief, called the party strife “the most difficult situation in decades” in an interview published on Thursday.

Horst Seehofer, the CSU chairman — whose hard line on immigration has challenged the chancellor’s more welcoming policy — declined to comment on reports that he is considering pulling the three CSU ministers out of her cabinet. But he has done little to temper speculation by telling the German media: “Anything is possible.”

The CSU’s ties with the CDU have been strained before, notably in 1976, when the party briefly left its alliance in a row over parliamentary speaking time. But the two partners have always made up; knowing that their grip on power is stronger for staying together — a reality Mr Seehofer and Ms Merkel will have to weigh against their deep differences in a historic crisis.

"There is once again, the German arrogance – and it is still that, even if the fight is for a noble goal," wrote Christoph Hasselbach, warning that the authority built by the German Chancellor during the Greek debt crisis was then spent by poor handling of the migrant crisis.

"Everybody is trying to save himself, even at the expense of others," says Hasselbach, warning that the German encouragement of refugees to come to Europe has dealt a critical blow to unity on the continent.

Fire struck a facility for refugees in the central Swedish town of Höör on Thursday in a suspected arson attack that became the latest in a series of such incidents in Sweden in the past few weeks, the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet reported.

According to police, someone splashed flammable liquid through the window of the refugee building in Höör, and then set it on fire. The staff reportedly managed to tackle the blaze with a fire extinguisher and there was no immediate word on injuries.

More than 10 arson attacks have occurred in Sweden in the past four weeks, all of them targeting migrant workers; meanwhile, the number of foreigners seeking asylum in the country has risen with each passing day. Europe is currently struggling to manage a major migration crisis. Over 710,000 migrants arrived in the European Union during the first nine months of 2015, according to the EU border agency Frontex.

And the situation is being aggravated by the following: firstly the people's weariness with austerity. Although we are still far from having implemented the reform programme the country feels it has done its duty and now deserves a reprieve. Secondly, there are the express pledges of all the parties to ease the austerity policy.

Whatever lies in store for the government, its future doesn't look rosy. If it keeps its promises the troika will soon be knocking on the door again. But if it shows good sense and acts as the situation demands, it will be crucified for betraying the voters.

“As I have stated publicly on many occasions, there is no definitive scientific proof, through real-world observation, that carbon dioxide is responsible for any of the slight warming of the global climate that has occurred during the past 300 years, since the peak of the Little Ice Age. If there were such a proof through testing and replication it would have been written down for all to see.

The contention that human emissions are now the dominant influence on climate is simply a hypothesis, rather than a universally accepted scientific theory. It is therefore correct, indeed verging on compulsory in the scientific tradition, to be skeptical of those who express certainty that ‘the science is settled’ and ‘the debate is over’.

But there is certainty beyond any doubt that CO2 is the building block for all life on Earth and that without its presence in the global atmosphere at a sufficient concentration this would be a dead planet. Yet today our children and our publics are taught that CO2 is a toxic pollutant that will destroy life and bring civilization to its knees.

To conclude, carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels is the stuff of life, the staff of life, the currency of life, indeed the backbone of life on Earth.”

"This is now possible for the first time in the history of UFO research as a result of an unprecedented convergence of high resolution digital camera technologies, off-the shelf scientific instrumentation, powerful low-cost computing platforms, and ubiquitous high-speed internet access."

The website says: "Our goal is to exploit this technological convergence by building a large network of automated surveillance stations with sophisticated sensors that will monitor the skies 24/7 looking for aerial anomalies.

Such a science is needed because of misplaced certainties on both sides of the UFO debate: “believers” convinced that UFOs are extraterrestrials, and “skeptics” equally convinced that UFOs do not even exist. "Our own view is that humanity knows very little about the true nature of unexplained UFO reports, and that the only way to resolve this lack of understanding is through serious scientific study."
