Absolutely NOT....remember all "settled science" is not a topic for continued investigation.
Are you going to become a "Bang Denier", you will be ostracized and Slashdot will not publish any questioning ideas.
Just like "Climate Change" , it is "settled" and no further investigation is to be done.

The frequency of 90 degree days in the US has been plummeting for 80 years, and 2014 has had the lowest frequency of 90 degree days through July 23 on record.
The only other year which came close was 1992, and that was due to dust in the atmosphere from Mt Pinatubo.

28,504 Low Max Records were set in last 365 days according to the NOAA. A “Low Max” means that the maximum temperatures for the day was the lowest it has ever been.
This indicates daytime cooling.
Only 13205 High Max records were set. That is over a 2:1 ratio.
Coldest winter since March 2002 in the contiguous 48 U.S. states, according to the National Climatic Data center, boosting power demand. In spring, an increase in oil and ethanol transport clogged the railways and slowed efforts by power generators to rebuild supply. Some utilities have as little as 20 days of reserves, Bill Davison, vice president of thermal coal sales at Alpha Natural Resources Inc. (ANR), said last month at a conference in New York. Tennessee Valley Authority temporarily idled the Bull Run plant in May to rebuild supply, Vince Stroud, the company’s director of coal origination, said last month in an interview at the IHS McCloskey Coal USA conference in New York.

Now he’s going do it himself and cut out the middle man. I don’t know why more artists don’t do it this way.

Responding to widespread criticism that its temperature station readings were corrupted by poor citing issues and suspect adjustments, NOAA established a network of 114 pristinely sited temperature stations spread out fairly uniformly throughout the United States. Because the network, known as the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN), is so uniformly and pristinely situated, the temperature data require no adjustments to provide an accurate nationwide temperature record. USCRN began compiling temperature data in January 2005. Now, nearly a decade later, NOAA has finally made the USCRN temperature readings available.
According to the USCRN temperature readings, U.S. temperatures are not rising at all – at least not since the network became operational 10 years ago. Instead, the United States has cooled by approximately 0.4 degrees Celsius, which is more than half of the claimed global warming of the twentieth century.
USCRN data debunk claims that rising U.S. temperatures caused wildfires, droughts, or other extreme weather events during the past year. The objective data show droughts, wildfires, and other extreme weather events have become less frequent and severe in recent decades as our planet modestly warms. But even ignoring such objective data, it is difficult to claim global warming is causing recent U.S. droughts and wildfires when U.S. temperatures are a full 0.4 degrees Celsius colder than they were in 2005.

The Firefox browser has lost 14% of its users in the months since they pushed out their CEO for his having donated to California’s Proposition 8 in 2008.
In early April, Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich was pressured to resign from the company that makes the Firefox browser after it was discovered he’d donated money to a political campaign to ban gay marriage in California.
The Firefox support message boards experienced record numbers of complaints against the move, with protests running 95% against it. Most of those expressing concerns said they were dumping the Firefox browser. The product was frequently referred to as “Hitler’s Browser.”

This year Apple’s focus will be on the release of the iPhone 6, widely expected to become available in September. But with a new phone being released every 12 months, the company has to look ahead to what follows, and next year that will be the iPhone 7. Now we’re hearing which companies have secured initial orders for the A9 chip that will be at the heart of the 2015 iPhone.
The big winners are Globalfoundries and Apple’s old rival Samsung. It seems that, love or hate them, Apple can’t do without the manufacturing capacity and expertise of the South Korean company. In this case, Samsung will produce 40 percent of the required 14nm A9 FinFET processors the iPhone 7 will use. Those processors will be manufactured at Globafoundries’ Fab 8 facility located in New York, which Samsung has access to. That equates to an initial output of 60,000 wafers a month, producing enough chips to support the launch around September 2015.
Great news...
Germany returning to massive building of COAL plants.
Renewables are pretty much shite and they are afraid of nukes.....so here you have it

A few years ago the renewable sector was the job miracle in Germany; now nothing is left of all of that.
Germany now on massive rebuild of Coal Plants.
Every European economy that followed the green agenda has faltered badly. Consequently, Germany is building coal plants to replace both failed wind power sources and even clean nuclear plants that are a casualty of irrational phobia after the Fukushima nuclear accident. In 2013 alone Germany built six more coal plants. China and India build four new ones every week, rendering Ontario’s coal shutdown, as well as those planned for the U.S., completely irrelevant from a climate perspective no matter what one believes about the science.
