Agriculture in several mountain counties was severely affected by flooding from Hurricane Helene.In the weeks after Helen, the WNC Regional Livestock Center in Canton, North Carolina, was filled with supplies instead of cattle. Farmers in the area said they lost dozens of cattle and much of their land.Annie Ager and Addie Lalumondier run Hickory Nut Gap Farms, a nonprofit in Fairview, North Carolina organize.”We get hay from local people, and then some of them lose it because of bad weather,” Adger said.The pair said while their barn was not damaged, nothing else was.”Other areas of the farm were severely damaged…
not many people know Paul Homewood Not only is this bullshit, it’s deceptive bullshit! Officials have called the deadly rains and flooding caused by Hurricane Helene “biblical” and “generational.” But weather forecasters use another term: “once in a thousand years.” Helen was actually the second thousand-year storm to hit North Carolina in as many days. Less than two weeks before Helen made landfall, an unnamed tropical storm brought once-in-1,000-year rainfall to communities on the other side of the state, flooding homes along the coast. The idea of two such rainfall events occurring back-to-back may seem confusing. After all, it sounds…
from NoTricksZone Author: P. Gosselin Author: KlimaNachrichten News from this part of Russia often generates heated discussions in the media. I think of forest fires or unusual summer temperatures.

Snow accumulation in mid-October 2024 will be greater than in recent years. Ventarski himself believes this could have an impact on winter weather in Europe,…

Vijay Jayaraj The archipelago nation of Indonesia occupies just 1% of the Earth's land area, but it sets the stage for global geopolitics around fossil fuels and climate policy. Indonesia is expected to become the first developing country to announce early closures of coal-fired power plants as part of climate talks among G7 countries. Of particular concern is the 660 MW Cirebon-1 power plant in West Java, which was scheduled to close in 2035. Plans to operate the power plant. In reaffirming its commitment to unlimited use of coal, Indonesia has made a bold and smart decision to put energy…
By: Meteorologist Kerry Challoner Anderson “I can say this without exaggeration: If you choose to stay in one of these evacuation zones, you will die.” That was the message from Tampa Maj. Jane Custer as Hurricane Milton hit. city. With Milton now in the rearview mirror, that statement has proven to be an overly dramatic statement. People did stay and didn't die. I cringe when I hear this dire warning because although it is only meant to protect life, the message is inaccurate. Provided by CNN I've been a meteorologist since the 1980s, and I've issued my fair share of…
From the Daily Skeptic by Ben Pyle Another day, another green report. This time, in response to rising energy prices, a body calling itself the Energy Crisis Commission released a report. But the report attempts to address the difficulties faced by millions of individuals and businesses due to high energy prices by calling for “a clear strategy to transition away from fossil fuels, particularly natural gas,” which runs counter to a healthy economy. Well, guess what: that's because “The Committee” is just another bog-standard green-spotted front! Who would have thought? “Energy experts back the Labor government's mission to deliver clean…

Vijay Jayaraj When we gaze upon the verdant fields of Saskatchewan or the salmon-rich waters of British Columbia, it's easy to forget that just 12,000 years ago, much of Canada was under miles of ice. The Canada we know today—a mosaic of thriving ecosystems and abundant farmland—is the product of a remarkable transformation that began with the waning of the last glacial advance and the warm embrace of the Holocene interglacial period. The birth of Canadian agriculture Starting about 11,000 years ago, Holocene warmth and the retreat of massive continental glaciers enabled people to farm. Humanity transitioned from a nomadic…
Author: Robert Bradley Jr. “There are signs that we may have reached peak madness as opposition to renewable energy developments grows in regional and rural Australia… Angry over rampant proposals for solar, wind and transmission developments, Motivate communities to take action. “I am frustrated by green activists’ indifference to the fate of giant gliders and other native wildlife that are losing their natural habitat in the renewable energy boom,” Nick Carter recently posted. He went on to detail: The destruction of vast swaths of native forest by installing wind turbines along the Great Dividing Range has been detailed in environmental…
