A recent article in seattle timesTitled “From water damage to deadly heat: AP photographers capture climate change in 2024,” it presents a series of photos depicting various natural disasters and extreme weather events since 2024 and attributing them to climate change change. [emphasis, links added] While the Associated Press (AP) image is compelling, it is a false narrative because the article does not distinguish between short-term weather events and long-term climate trends.

It was a cold and windy night in the Arctic, and Santa Claus was in his studio, looking at his “Naughty List” with concern. This year, however, what he’s worried about isn’t giving gifts; how He is willing to deliver them. After all, the Arctic has turned green. Transition to “sustainable” solutions It all started when the Elf Alliance convinced Santa to modernize his business. They were pressured by letters from children demanding a “greener Christmas”. The old coal-powered magic furnace that kept Santa's sleigh flying reliably for centuries is gone. Instead, the Arctic now has the following characteristics: Number…

In an alternate timeline of the story, George Bailey never existed, painting a grim picture of what life would be like without his sacrifice. Inspired by this story, let's imagine a different kind of alternative reality – a world where fossil fuels never existed. Will we, like George's Bedford Falls, find ourselves in a global Portersville? Let’s explore how the scarcity of fossil fuels affects the fabric of our lives, from our economic…

The children were lying comfortably on their beds,Meanwhile, images of power outages swirled in their minds.Mom brought a blanket and I wore a hat,Just settled in for a long hibernation. When we got to the lawn, there was a sudden splashing sound.I jumped out of my chair to see what was going on.I flew to the window like lightning,Tear down the blinds and pull…
