Ludhiana Logs Coldest July in 15 Years

Ludhiana, a major industrial and agricultural hub in Punjab often called the “Manchester of India,” just saw its coolest July in 15 years.

The district’s average maximum temperature last month came in at 33C (91F), the lowest since 2011, with the hottest day peaking at a mere 35.8C (96F). Nighttime lows also dipped (despite the UHI), averaging 26.8C (80F), marking a stark departure.

The cooling coincided with above-normal monsoon rainfall. The India Meteorological Department reported 180.3 mm (7.1 inches) of rain in July — 9% above average.

For a month often billed as “unforgiving,” this July turned mild — the kind of moderation that doesn’t make the headlines.

More Monthly Cold Records Fall Across Australia

The chill persists across large areas of Australia, with multiple stations logging historic August cold.

In the Northern Territory, Tennant Creek Airport plunged to 4.1C (39.4F) — its coldest August temperature in 57 years — beating the previous record of 4.5C (40.1F) set on 14 July 1978. Delamere Weapons Range also dropped to 7.9C (46.2F), also a monthly low.

Queensland’s Gulf Country saw widespread records: Normanton Airport fell to 9.8C (49.6F), Burketown Airport to 6.6C (43.9F), Century Mine to 4.4C (39.9F), Mornington Island Airport to 10.5C (50.9F), and Cooktown Airport to 8.2C (46.8F) — all new records. Cairns Racecourse matched its record of 7.9C (46.2F) from 2019.

Australia’s cold is of little interest to the warm-mongers controlling Western media.

California’s Record Cool Summer

Millions of Californians have just endured the coldest start to summer in living memory.

From the Bay Area to parts of Southern California, June 1–August 1 brought a record-setting chill.

Satellite-era data (since 1979) shows large swaths of the state (everywhere in blue) logging their coldest June and July on record.

Petaluma has felt more like Fairbanks, Alaska.

While San Francisco has seen just two days above 70F since June 1.

Monterey hasn’t cracked 71F — every other post–WWII summer has had at least one day at 74F or higher.

And Lompoc is enduring its coldest summer since 1971.

While the headlines predictably push hotty-heat-hot, much of California has been shivering — much of America, in fact, isn’t having much of a summer to speak of, not by historical benchmarks. The number of days above 90F is way down on the average, and the average daily maximum temperature so far this year is 10th lowest since 1895, down more than five degrees since 1934:

NOAA data also show that the share of U.S. stations hitting 90F (32C) at least once a year has been falling steadily since 1931, when a record 97% of the country reached that mark:

We’re now in August.

As pointed out by meteorologist Chris Martz, thirty-three U.S. states set their all‑time August high temperature records before 1955. Of those, eight Midwestern states hit their records in 1936, right in the middle of the Dust Bowl, and seven New England, Great Lakes, and Mid‑Atlantic states set theirs way back in 1918.

“The frequency hot afternoons in the US has plummeted since the sunspot peak of the 1950s,” writes climate researcher Tony Heller.

New Climate Equation

Ned Nikolov, Ph.D. has just dropped another disruptive climate model: a universal equation for calculating the global surface air temperature (GSAT) of any rocky planet with an atmosphere.

This isn’t a patchwork of forcings and feedbacks tuned to match Earth observations — it’s a clean, physics-based model that seemingly works across the Solar System.

“This is the latest version of our UNIVERSAL Global Temperature Model valid for any rocky planetary body in the Solar System and beyond,” said Nikolov. “Note that it contains no GHG ‘radiative forcing’ or positive feedbacks!”

The model achieves high accuracy without greenhouse gas concentrations.

Instead, it relates a planet’s surface temperature to real, measurable physical properties: incoming solar energy (Total Solar Irradiance, TSI), geothermal heat, albedo, surface pressure, and a few constants.

The greenhouse layer of climate orthodoxy doesn’t even make it into the equation.

The equation looks intimidating, but it’s built from straightforward physics.

Look at the key parameters:

1. Start with sunlight (Sᵦ). This is the total solar energy hitting a planet’s orbit. For Earth, it’s about 1,360 W/m². If the Sun puts out more or less energy, the equation adjusts.
   
   
2. Factor in reflectivity (albedo). Not all that energy is absorbed. Bright surfaces like ice reflect sunlight back into space. The equation adjusts for how reflective (or dark) a planet is.
   
   
3. Add the planet’s own heat (R𝓰). Planets generate internal heat — from radioactive decay and other processes — which also affects surface temperature.
   
   
4. Include cosmic background radiation (R꜀). It’s tiny but universal, setting a floor for temperature everywhere.
   
   
5. Adjust for how well the surface stores heat (η). Some surfaces, like rock or dust, hold heat better than others. This “storage coefficient” changes how much temperature fluctuates.
   
   
6. Multiply by atmospheric pressure (P). Nikolov’s research shows that surface pressure, not CO₂ levels, drives how warm a planet gets. Thicker atmospheres compress and trap more energy at the surface — a fundamental physical effect independent of greenhouse gases.
   
   
7. Account for long-term shifts. The model even lets you tweak for changes in solar input or reflectivity over time, making it useful for studying climate variations.
   
   

Atmospheric pressure, albedo, and thermal properties determine how much energy gets absorbed and stored. There’s no need to shoehorn in “radiative forcing” from CO₂ or build castles of feedback loops.

“It’s a new macro-level physical law that’s way more accurate than anything produced by the unphysical ‘greenhouse’ hypothesis,” writes Nikolov.

Mainstream models are Earth-only, parameter-tweaked beasts. They fail catastrophically when applied to Venus, Mars, or Titan. Nikolov’s appears to work everywhere.

If validated, this model undercuts the central dogma of climate alarmism: that CO₂ “traps heat” in a way that dominates planetary temperatures. Instead, pressure and solar input set the baseline, with albedo and minor factors adjusting the dial.

Corruption

I’ve embedded this powerful speech made recently by Bret Weinstein, PhD.

In it, he delivers a searing warning about systemic corruption in health, academia, and beyond, arguing that every major truth‑seeking institution is under coordinated attack.

“Our research universities spend huge sums of public money to reach preordained conclusions.”

Weinstein calls this a deliberate blinding of the public — a trajectory that, if unchecked, leads to a new dark age.
