Prolonged periods of hot weather and drought create ideal conditions for difficult-to-fight forest fires. [emphasis, links added] Although climate models predict that such weather conditions as a result of human-caused global warming will increase the incidence of wildfires, the recent wildfires cannot be entirely — or even primarily — blamed on global warming: The weather conditions that cause forest fires have existed for thousands of years due to naturally occurring climate cycles. For example, research shows Over the past 3,000 years, the American West has experienced severe fires in the 1800s and the Medieval Warm Period (950-1250 AD)and Some of…
From Manhattan Contrarian Francis Menton Less than three weeks ago, on December 23, I noted in an optimistic article about the possible demise of the green energy fantasy that two of the largest U.S. banks had just withdrawn from a group called the Net Zero Banking Alliance. The two companies are Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo. These two banks, along with many others, including all the largest banks, have joined the NZBA since it was formed in 2021 with the support of the United Nations. I will save the planet by depleting all investment capital in hydrocarbons while redirecting the…
According to annual statistics just released by Munich Re, global catastrophic losses due to weather events will reach US$298 billion in 2024. Munich Re blamed the losses on – what else – climate change, dramatically declaring that “climate change is showing its claws” and “climate change is taking off its gloves”. [emphasis, links added] Munich Re's attribution assertion contrasts with its biggest rival Swiss Re's description of 2024 loss totals, which cites economic developments as the “main driver” of higher loss totals: “Economic development remains the main driver of the decades-long increase in insured losses from floods and other hazards.…
Transcript: In the Great Plains, black-tailed prairie dogs jump across the grass, dig huge burrows, and live in groups. Lindsey Sterling Krank of the Humane Society of the United States said prairie dogs are cute and important to the ecosystem. Many other species rely on them for prey and even live in their burrows. Sterling Krank: “There are eagles, burrowing owls, black-footed ferrets, even tiger salamanders.” But the prairie dogs are in trouble. Much of their habitat has been lost to agriculture, and the southern part of their range has become too dry. Sterling Krank and her colleagues recently analyzed…
from NoTricksZone Author: P. Gosselin How is Germany’s Green New Deal going? Not good at all. First of all, Germany has been in recession for almost two years – largely due to the policies of Economy Minister Robert Habeck (Green Party), who, by the way, has no education in economics, business or finance. This guy just doesn't know what he's doing. Second, German energy prices are among the most expensive in the world, and German electricity supplies are more unstable than ever. Germany is currently in the midst of a rapid deindustrialization chaos. Electric cars cannot be sold Blackout News…
Chris Barnard A seasoned energy executive with extensive experience in the oil and gas, geothermal, nuclear and solar sectors has been nominated to lead the Department of Energy. One would think he would have overwhelming bipartisan support. Someone would be wrong. Liberty Energy CEO Chris Wright was nominated by incoming President Donald Trump to be his energy secretary in November. He has since faced disproportionate opposition from green groups and Democrats. These individuals have slammed Mr Wright's comments on the climate change framework, relentlessly using smear tactics throughout their campaign to undermine Mr Wright's undeniable credentials. However, in stark contrast…
from legal riots Examining the carbon emissions and habitat destruction caused by policies based on virtue signaling and pseudoscience. Posted by Leslie Eastman The steady stream of news about the Los Angeles fires is heartbreaking and the images are heart-wrenching. When the smoke clears and recovery begins, I hope that not only will the insidious “diversity-equity-inclusion” policies that have led to incompetent leadership in key civic positions be abandoned… but that the “climate crisis” policies will be ended quickly. First, our elite media continues to press the “consensus” that the fires are a direct result of “climate change.” For example,…
