Transcript: With the warmer climate, wildfires are intensifying, potentially burning huge areas of large healthy trees. Sleep: “In the past, we might have thought of something that was sick or under drought conditions or more likely to burn. But now we find everything willing to burn.” But sleep from Darren’s Sustainable Forestry Initiative (or SFI) says forest landowners can take steps to reduce the risk of the environment and its livelihoods. His group sets standards for sustainable forestry. It can prove that wood and paper products come from forests that meet their guidelines – protect wildlife, plant trees, etc. In…

The waste industry has about 20% methane emissions, the second largest greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. Without emergency action and proper climate financing, methane emissions from the waste sector are expected to double by 2050, jeopardizing the capacity within the 1.5°C warming scheme. Methane emissions have caused approximately one-third of global net warming since the Industrial Revolution. The average lifespan of this short-lived climate pollutant is 86 times that of CO₂’s warming potential over a decade. With low or negative cost solutions and easy-to-access technologies, human-caused methane emissions can be reduced by up to 45%, avoiding global warming by 2045.…

From Notrickszone By P Gosselin The German blackout news reports here a latest example of what happens when green energy fantasy clashes with reality, in which case training is powered by hydrogen. Symbol image. Source: Alstom press release here. According to the correlative Rhine-Moines Transport Association (RMV) The hydrogen train on Taunusbahn has been temporarily discontinued and diesel locomotives have been used again. The hydrogen locomotive is made by Alstom and is reportedly “prone to failure” and is currently improving.

Eric Worrall's paper Why more ice means the world is warming. Antarctic sea ice range is 17% higher today than in 1979. Ice didn't lie, but climate scientists would. pic.twitter.com/ivuctobivp— Tony Heller (@TonyClimate) December 25, 2024 This tweet by Tony seems to have sparked interest in building media green. The text reads: “The Antarctic sea ice range is 17% higher than in 1979. The ice does not lie, but climate scientists.” An NSIDC spokesperson told Reuters via email that the Antarctic sea ice range on December 24, 1979 was 7.38 million square kilometers, and on December 24, 2024, it was…

From cfact David Wojick The infamous inflation reduction bill is known for throwing out hundreds of billions of dollars in green causes. Along the way, it also repeatedly said that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (except water vapor) are contamination. This is important because this is the first time Congress has said this legally. The sirens now claim that the sentence somehow proves the fake EPA CO2 dangerous discovery and requires EPA regulations on GHG. Technically, this is not true, but the court may think it is true, so we need to get the language from the law. Fortunately,…

The Baltimore area has recently faced a volley of winter weather, exhausting some of their school systems on snowy days and leaving slippery roads. With the total number of snow storms on Tuesday, the recent months have given more snow to the Baltimore area than it has been in the past two winters. However, the total number of this season is still comparable to the snowfall averages over the past decade.Even so, this winter is a bit ordinary: it's extra cold.Last month was the coldest January in the Baltimore area since 2014, according to the National Weather Service. In January,…

For many students in Maryland, the closure of the snowstorm on Tuesday may have been their last snow of the year as schools try to meet their minimum school day requirements. The state requires schools to conduct 180 days of teaching. School districts usually build on the calendar for a few days in preparation for any bad weather events every year. This year's winter weather has consumed many areas of built-in days and needs to be transferred to virtual learning, extending academics or opening up the potential that could be subject to a 180-day minimum. In Anne Arundel County, the…

Kip Hansen's guest paper – February 12, 2025 – 750 words One published in Natural Communications Parks et al., February 10, 2025, “The fire deficit in North American forests remains despite the recent increase in burning areas.” (2025), said: “… Despite the increase in burning area in recent decades,…a wide range of Insufficient fire Continued in various forest types, anomalous combustion in burning areas has not been unprecedented in recent years, considering the multi-century perspective provided by burning trees. ” Let's review it again: “Big fires in the wild were common, and in the late 19th and early 20th centuries,…

As the school district exhausted three days of snowfall in the school year, the fun of snow-loving students in Baltimore County ended, using its virtual learning program to start on Wednesday for bad weather. The school district used the last bad weather day on February 6. Inclement weather in the future will lead to virtual learning days. The virtual study days at Baltimore County Public Schools experienced a two-hour delay. Maryland requires schools to teach at least 180 days a year. With that in mind, the district can build a few days in the calendar to make up for potentially…

The City of Baltimore Public Schools have consumed three days established in the school calendar for this school year, extending its school year to Monday after the last day of the program. Maryland regulations require at least 180 school days a year. Downtown used snow days on Wednesday and January 6 and 7. January storms deposited 6.6 inches of snow at BWI Marshall Airport, despite accumulations above 10 inches in some parts of the state. Tuesday night's storm was just a small part of it – the airport 3.8 inches. The new last day is Monday, June 16, school district…
