The hurricane season begins on June 1 and above-average activities are expected. But major U.S. agencies protect lives and property from these destructive storms – the National Atmospheric and Ocean Administration, NOAA, the Federal Emergency Management Association, or FEMA – in unprecedented chaos. Chaos could damage the accuracy of hurricane forecasts in 2025, as well as the preparation and response to disasters. NOAA is transferred due to huge personnel losses NOAA’s massive staff losses caused by shootings from probation employees, acquisitions of the Governor and early retirement have left at least eight of the 122 National Weather Service offices unable…
A federal judge temporarily stopped Trump's administration's efforts to kill New York City's controversial congestion pricing plan on Tuesday. [emphasis, links added] U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Liman issued a temporary restraining order unless the government gets rid of the program and withholds federal funds if the city fails to lift the program. Liman's Tuesday restriction order kept tolls until at least June 9 and prevented transport secretary Sean Duffy from retaliating against the city. “Today, the judge's ruling is not the merits of our class war against Hawkel, but a temporary pause with more time to make decisions,” a…
Transcript: When people burn fossil fuels, carbon dioxide is building in the atmosphere – warming the earth and making operating satellites in low-Earth orbit even more difficult. As these satellites move around, hundreds of miles from the surface of the earth, they hide from millions of debris. Parker: “Objects that are generated from explosions, collisions…even just abandoned old satellites and rocket corpses.” Dr. Will Parker, MIT candidate, said most of the space garbage eventually falls out of the track because the atmosphere exerts resistance that the object reduces. However, the rise in carbon dioxide levels causes the atmospheric portions of…
The narrative of darkness and artists’ artificial climate change is wielded by political elites and their academic and “green” corporate allies as fascist Cudgel, facing potential estimates. [emphasis, links added] According to the latest analysis by H. Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute and published by Watts, two proposed federal regulations – the Administrative Regulations that Need to Review (Reins Act) and the Secret Science Reform Act (SSRA) (SSRA) (SSRA) can be started in a small way to remove unchecked regulatory machines to remove the raising regulatory machines to increase risk of raising fits proposed breeding. Burnett wrote: “Of course,…
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) passed the repeal of the California Electric Vehicle (EV) mandate in Congress on Thursday, which relies on a special exemption from the outgoing Biden administration in December. [emphasis, links added] He declared sarcastically: “Make America fumes again.” As Breitbart News reported earlier this month, the Senate canceled the waiver with a 51-44 vote, as did the bipartisan majority in the House. The repeal relies on the Congressional Review Act, a bill in the Clinton era law that allows Congress to repeal unproposed regulations in a timely manner. Newsom said the exemption was exempt from scrutiny.…
New Orleans fell into darkness when grid operators in the area cut off reduced use electricity, a “last vacation” measure to prevent mass blackouts, according to local news outlet Nola.com. [emphasis, links added] According to Nola.com, the main grid operator is the Independent Systems Operator (MISO) in the Mid-Mainland, instructing energy company Entergy to lower power with just three minutes of notification to prevent power outages, affecting nearly 100,000 customers. Hours later, although reliability to the power grid remains, power has been fully restored due to President Donald Trump’s administration, energy policy experts and multiple North American Electric Reliability Companies…
While green advocates often use renewable, sustainable and net zero words to describe their efforts, the dirty little secret is that most of the waste from solar panels and wind turbines is emerging in landfills. [emphasis, links added] Current fiberglass, resins, aluminum and other chemicals (not to mention propeller blades from giant wind turbines) currently pose no threat to local town dumps, but this largely overlooked issue will become even more challenging in the coming years, as we now operate and replace in our operations in our operations in the 73,000 solar panels and 73,000 wind turbines in the United…
In a May 23 article “Climate change could bring insect-borne tropical diseases to the UK,” scientists warned. guardian Asserted that rising global temperatures have made the UK more hospitality to diseases such as dengue fever, West Nile virus and tropical mosquito-borne diseases such as Chikengunia. [emphasis, links added] This claim is a lie. England's climate has always been suitable for mosquitoes that have centuries, and malaria is often called “Ague” or “March Fever” and is unique to England even in the Little Ice Age from the 15th to 19th centuries. With the drainage of wetlands and improved housing, it was…
If you've been following our books this year, you know it's a horrible time for weather, climate and science in the U.S. budget, and at NOAA, FEMA staff cut more threats and potentially cut our ability to prepare and respond to weather disasters. Amid all this, hurricane season is coming, and we also face budget constraints for Yale climate links as the philanthropy world tries to understand the new government. Season after season, readers like you show us that you value our coverage of hurricanes and other extreme weather. You have used it to stay informed and keep your loved…
Transcript: Donor supplies that flooded into the area, including solar panels, batteries and other equipment that could help power areas without electricity, poured into the area after Hurricane Helen destroyed western North Carolina last fall. Hebson: “Many large solar companies … they will make these very generous, large, in-kind donations to these devices after the storm.” But Catherine Hebson, a nonprofit’s Footprint Project with the Disaster Recovery Nonprofit, says some equipment will be wasted risks – if it doesn’t find the way for those who need it. So her group formed a free store in western North Carolina, which distributed…
