this milwaukee sentinel As Hurricane Milton ravaged the Florida coast, MJS (MJS) shamefully sought to profit from Hurricane Milton, spreading false assertions and misinformation to further its aggressive climate change agenda. [emphasis, links added] MJS delivers a masterclass in deception and sensationalism, claiming: “…the message this year’s hurricane season sends” is that “climate change is here, there is no shelter, and it is deadly and costly.” If MJS and author Caitlin Looby bothered to research, they would find that there never were any “climate safe havens.” MJS claims: “The science is simple, clear and indisputable.” From this point of view,…
Author: Dugan Flanakin The race to commercialize nuclear fusion is taking a major turn, but a high school student is shaking up the fusion world by building a nuclear fusion reactor as a high school science project. Cesare Mencarini was an Italian who studied in England and taught himself programming and how to use electrical systems. He scoured YouTube and the Internet and built a custom reactor controlled and hosted by a Raspberry Pi system. His reactor achieves plasma, the fourth state of matter, a key step in the fusion process by efficiently using high pressure to heat atoms to…
You could say James Gill spent his entire life dodging hurricanes. The New Orleans native was just two years old when Hurricane Katrina devastated his city in 2005, becoming the costliest hurricane in U.S. history, claiming 1,833 lives. Gill's family evacuated and sheltered in Virginia for two months during and after the storm. They then returned, salvaged their house, and spent nearly two decades at sea level, enduring other life-threatening storms and evacuations. Guill’s mother, Terenia Urban Guill, called her son a “Katrina baby,” just as today’s young parents call their 2020 children “COVID babies”: a world-changing moment that fundamentally…
Jenny Ortiz-Ortiz is from Puerto Rico. She was living on the island and studying for the bar exam when Hurricane Maria hit in 2017. In the aftermath of devastating storms, she saw firsthand the legal and administrative challenges people faced—applying for rescue assistance, negotiating with insurance, or replacing important documents. Ortiz-Ortiz: “I started by helping a family member whose apartment was damaged meet FEMA requirements because she only spoke Spanish. Later, I also helped my then-employer apply for the Small Business Administration’s disaster loan program. I I was shocked at the length of the process and the numerous requirements. Her…

from climate etc. Author: Dan Hughes This article challenges traditional frameworks for modeling meltwater flow in glaciers and ice sheets. Increased melting rates due to potential increases in temperatures would allow liquid water to flow directly into the ocean. Another aspect is that when the meltwater reaches the bottom of the glacier, it may cause increased glacier sliding and eventually lead to glacier calving. The World Resources Institute (WRI) summarizes the IPCC AR6 results on ice melt in Greenland and Antarctica: For example, if temperatures rise to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) to 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit),…
