22nd November - Today's News: October Was Yet Another Warmest Ever Month

Sadly, regional newspapers have been conned into publishing more utter crap as, for example, it is claimed snow and record low temperatures could hit south west within days.  The story is just a repeat of the lies Nathan Rao spread earlier in the week and shows that regional media are no better than anyone else at checking basic facts!  Mind the Telegraph isn't much better warning winter to arrive with below-freezing icy blast - with overnight temperatures predicted to fall to -4c in the Scottish Highlands on Sunday!  Oh my!  There is no unusually cold weather on the horizon and certainly no snow apart from some transient falls over higher hills, mainly in Scotland - and we're set to see November end as yet another warmer than normal month.

Meanwhile, the heat goes on: Earth headed for warmest year on record as NOAA data confirms October the warmest ever recorded.  The 4th such this year.  So it's not just us.

And British researchers show Little Ice Age was global, with implications for current global warming - though that headline is a little misleading, as they have only shown that the two peak periods of cold weather, probably excerbated by reduced solar activity, coincided in both Europe and South America. 

And just when you thought things couldn't get any worse .... Ancient Martian civilisation was wiped out by nuclear bomb-wielding aliens - and they could attack Earth next, claims physicist - and if you believe that, send me £10,000 and I will give you a ticket on the next Annunaki spaceship to Epsilon Eridani, leaving Christmas Day.
