The Editor speaks: The earth may be flat
I have heard from my Washington sources that US President Donald Trump is becoming convinced the earth is flat and will be Tweeting his views to that effect.
This will explain the increasing news that people disappear every day and their bodies are not found.
Look at the aircraft that disappear. The belief is they fall into the ocean but the planes and wreckage are never found.
The evidence is mounting up in Trump’s view.
It is exactly the same the mountains of evidence piling up that there is global warming. President Trump doesn’t believe it and has pulled the US out from all treaties to stop our gases continuing warming up this planet.
Dan Smale of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom and main author of the latest study, published last Monday, into global warming said, “Extreme temperature events may be one of the most important stresses on the oceans in coming decades.”
“Whether it’s seaweeds or corals, fish, seabirds or mammals, you can detect the adverse effects of marine heat waves,” he said.
Marine heatw aves, defined as at least five days with temperatures far above average, are caused by heat from blazing sunshine and by shifting warm currents.
Among impacts, a 2011 marine heat wave off western Australia killed abalone stocks and a 2012 heat wave off the Eastern United States drove lobster stocks north toward Canada.
Many tropical corals have suffered from harmful “bleaching” in recent years.
The scientists said marine heat waves were “emerging as forceful agents of disturbance” that could “restructure entire marine ecosystems,” disrupting livelihoods and food supplies for millions of people.
Most previous studies about climate change in the oceans have focused on a gradual rise in average temperatures, which hit a new record annual high in 2018, forcing fish to swim towards the poles or into the cooler depths.
Heat waves often have natural causes but the report said “there is growing confidence that the observed intensification is due to human activities,” led by the burning of fossil fuels.
“Multiple regions in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian Oceans are particularly vulnerable to marine heat wave intensification,” they wrote.
The frequency of ocean heat waves has surged more than 50 percent since the early 20th century in a threat to fish, corals and other marine life stoked by global warming.
Abrupt local spikes in temperatures, far less researched than heat waves on land, add to pressures on marine life such as over-fishing and plastic pollution.

I’m awaiting President Trump’s tweet to debunk all of this learned data. His gut feeling that determines the Whitehouse policy rules the waves.
The waves that actually fall over the edge of our flat planet.
He may be right. Or maybe left.

Colin. I think you’re being a bit naughty, here! Trump doesn’t disbelieve “global warming”: what he disbelieves is that it’s all man-made, or even primarily man-made. What can I say but “me too!” There are too many fake statistics buzzing around, to allow some of us to feel comfortable with blaming the wicked humans. Remember that “climate change” in English means simply that. Nobody argues that the climate isn’t changing, but there is too much *cold* weather around to conclude (logically) that “change” means “hotter”.
Scientists believe Earth will experience more extreme, disastrous weather as the effects of climate change play out.
In response to President Trump’s January 20 tweet about cold temperatures, Potsdam University physicist Stefan Rahmstorf noted on Twitter that, while North America was experiencing cold Arctic air, the rest of the world was abnormally hot. And, the polar vortex bringing that cold air to the U.S. may actually become increasingly unstable, Rahmstorf noted.
“Warm temperatures in the Arctic cause the jet stream to take these wild swings, and when it swings farther south, that causes cold air to reach farther south. These swings tend to hang around for awhile, so the weather we have in the eastern United States, whether it’s cold or warm, tends to stay with us longer,” said study author Jennifer Francis in a press release.

Before the industrial revolution, ice-ages came and went, and came again and went again. Whether the earth is currently warming or cooling, there needs to be more skepticism about mankind’s contribution to the changes.
*Presuming* that it’s all mankind’s fault is false logic, and only serves the interests of those who want to tax us. The world’s rulers know this. If they really believed their false logic, would they be so bent on *deliberately* warming the climate with unnecessary wars? No they wouldn’t. Those wars clearly indicate that they don’t believe the scientists. And if even they don’t believe the scientists, well…!
