The world’s coral reef ecosystems almost all face a high risk of collapse in the next 50 years mostly due to warming oceans and heat waves, according to a global assessment. Sometimes dubbed “rainforests of the sea,” they have some of the world’s richest biodiversity. apnews.com/article/coral-ree…

This is the first map of the ghost stations drawn from NOAA’s current data, and these 479 ghost stations represent 39 percent of NOAA’s network. This count comes directly from NOAA’s own file dated October 19, 2026. It exceeds the “more than 30 percent” figure Shewchuk gave a reporter in 2024 and is close to the 490 stations flagged on an anonymous map he circulates, which was based on NOAA’s 2022 files. This map shows the 48 contiguous states, with one dot for each of the 1,218 stations in NOAA’s network. The color and style of each dot indicate what NOAA’s file contains for that station for the year 2025. •Solid blue dots mark stations that recorded all twelve months of 2025 (547 stations). •Open circles mark stations that recorded some months of 2025, with the rest estimated by NOAA (192 stations). •Solid orange dots mark stations for which every month of 2025 is an estimate (479 stations). These are the “ghost stations” that retired meteorologist John Shewchuk has highlighted one by one: stations that no longer report data, yet for which NOAA’s file still carries a full year of temperature values. The orange dots appear across the country, not concentrated in any single region. They are densest in Oklahoma, Louisiana, the Northeast, and the Pacific Northwest, but every state has at least one. Of the 479, 242 have recorded no actual data since 2014 or earlier, meaning they have been estimated for more than a decade.

The riots in France have multiple complex economic and social causes, but I have to wonder whether the scorching hot summer contributed some to the discontent. In a country where most homes and businesses lack air conditioning, this last summer would have been insufferable.

I am in tears. President Trump and Vice President JD Vance announced Nick Shirley will get PAID for the fraud he has EXPOSED THIS IS A MASSIVE WIN 🔥

This is what happens when CA environmentalists refuse to clear dried brush and undergrowth. The whole state is kindling.

See that white box in the background - that‘s where the BOM have recently moved the thermometers to that record Sydney’s official temperatures. The heat from afternoon sun radiates back off the tin roof of the old heritage listed behind. It’s a great trick to try and artificially create new temperatures records and put a warming bias into the long term data. The Stevenson Screen previously located on the south side of the Observatory- and the parallel data shows that this new location artificially records temperatures up to 2.5°C hotter.

The hottest day ever officially recorded in Australia, using a standard Stevenson screen at a government weather station, was 125 °F (51.7 °C) on Sunday, 3 January 1909, at Bourke, New South Wales. For decades this was long recognised as Australia’s hottest day. However, it didn’t fit the “global warming” narrative. For if, as alarmists assert that “climate change” is causing unprecedented record heat, how could our hottest-ever day have occurred back in 1909? So just as Orwell described in 1984, the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) rewrote history. "Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute ….. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.” The BOM’s excuse for erasing this record was that the observer at the Bourke Post Office in January 1909 supposedly made a mistake. "Observer error" someone at the BOM decided from a desk in Canberra a century later. The BOM’s justification for declaring it a “mistake” was the assertion that no nearby weather station recorded a similar temperature spike on the same day, so therefore the 125 °F reading at Bourke must have been an error. But that claim by the BOM is a LIE. Before COVID, I personally visited the Australian National Archives to examine the original handwritten meteorological observation books because I no longer trusted the BOM after some of their earlier data manipulations. The archived observation book from the official weather station at Brewarrina — the nearest official station to Bourke, just 100 km away — recorded a maximum temperature of 50.6 °C (123 °F) on the very same day in January 1909. The hottest temperature ever recorded there. Thus, we had two official government weather stations only 100 km apart both independently recorded extreme heat on the same day: Bourke 125 °F and Brewarrina 123 °F. Game, set, match. The Bourke record must be reinstated and the BOM held accountable for their malfeasance and fraudulent attempt to rewrite our history. One of my regrets is that the human-rights abuses inflicted upon Australians during the COVID years, along with the malfeasance at the TGA, distracted me from pursuing this matter in Parliament further at the time. Any organisation that can so brazenly and fraudulently tamper with historical data, as the BOM has done, simply cannot be trusted. I’d bet London to a brick that the very same people at the BOM who fraudulently altered our climate history have their fingers all over the $100 million of taxpayers’ money they’ve spent “updating their website”. There should be a full investigation into the Bureau of Meteorology. I volunteer to head it.
