Guest post by Larry Hamlin The climate alarmist media seems to act as if the 2024 Northern Hemisphere hurricane season only involves the Atlantic Ocean, and apparently fails to realize that the Pacific Ocean, which is more than twice the size of the Atlantic Ocean, does not cooperate with their political propaganda plans. Shown below are Northeast and Northwest Pacific data from the Colorado State University Tropical Meteorology Program ACE as of October 9, 2024. It is obvious from this data that the huge Pacific ACE level has fall There is no intention of cooperating with the media’s climate alarmist…
Without climate change, Hurricane Milton would have hit Florida as a Category 2 storm instead of a Category 3 storm, according to a study by the international science organization World Weather Attribution. The group released the study on Oct. 11, two days after the Milton attack. Another study of Hurricane Milton released that day by researchers at Imperial College London found that the increase in intensity nearly doubled Milton's destructiveness. An analysis by World Weather Attribution found that storms with Milton wind speeds became more frequent, and the wind speeds associated with similarly rare storms also became nearly 11 mph…

Author: H. Sterling Burnett This issue: Climate news is increasingly bought and paid for Biden/Harris climate agenda serves Chinese, not U.S. interests The increase in water vapor is due to direct changes in the human environment, not the return of carbon dioxide Climate news is increasingly bought and paid for I have written several times before about externally funded collaborations with mainstream media to publicize climate warnings. For example, the Associated Press has taken millions of dollars from left-wing foundations specifically to cover climate change. Regardless of journalistic creed and ethics, media organizations have joined forces to silence dissenting voices,…
Are you feeling a little scared about Friday after seeing endless photos of the auroras on Thursday night? Here's how you can prepare for next time, and a prediction for when next time might happen, which could be as soon as tonight's encore.What are auroras?The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are the result of charged particles from the sun reaching the Earth's atmosphere, creating geomagnetic storms when they hit the Earth's magnetic field. The particles are then redirected to Earth's poles, creating a dazzling display of color.Typically, such light displays are limited to high latitudes. But in…
After two hurricanes hit Florida in as many weeks, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis cast doubt on the idea that climate change is causing stronger storms. [emphasis, links added] “There is historical precedent for all of this,” DeSantis said Thursday. “It's hurricane season. You're going to have tropical weather. Environmentalists appear to be pushing Hurricanes Helen and Milton as evidence that climate change is a serious problem ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Climate scientists also continue to push the issue Despite a history of exaggeration About global warming. DeSantis has been criticized by activists and Democrats for removing climate goals…
After a slow start to the 2024 hurricane season, Mother Nature appears to be trying to make up for lost time. First, Helen hit the Florida Panhandle and wreaked havoc in Appalachia.

In Episode 130 of The Climate Realism Show, the Heartland Institute's H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely welcome back Stan Goldenberg, one of the nation's top hurricane experts, to Destroy Hurricane Milton. Will it really be a “major”…
