A BBC article titled “Scientists are sure a warming world is making Spain's storms more intense” links recent flash floods in Spain to climate change. This is wrong. [emphasis, links added] The data refutes claims that flooding in Europe is getting worse as a result of mildly warming temperatures. Furthermore, this story ignores Spain's long history of sometimes catastrophic flooding, since many of Spain's cities are located in narrow valleys. Dr Friederike Otto, co-director of World Weather Attribution (WWA), told the BBC: “There is no doubt that these heavy rains are exacerbated by climate change. “Every time fossil fuels warm…

From Dr. Spencer's Global Warming Blog Author: Dr. Roy W. Spencer The global mean lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly in version 6.1 for October 2024 is +0.73 degrees. C deviates from the 1991-2020 average and is +0.80 degrees below the September 2024 anomaly. C. The new (version 6.1) global regional average temperature trend (January 1979 to October 2024) is now +0.15 °C/decade (+0.21 C/decade over land, +0.13 C/decade over ocean).

Bernard Yin has been fly fishing for trout in California's mountain streams for decades. He was used to seeing change. Yin: “You have dry years and you have wet years. … Over time, in recent years, it’s become clear that these fluctuations have been more dramatic. As the climate warms, droughts are increasing. With less water, streams heat up and the oxygen in the water drops. This stresses cold water fish like trout. Already distressed fish may not recover if anglers catch and release them. So Yin and his wife, Rebecca Ramirez, often wait until rain or melting snow cools…

Paul Homewood https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01822-1/abstract Yes, they push the same lies every year to try to convince us that global health is compromised by climate change. You only have to read the first paragraph to know that this is a political document, not a serious scientific one. Sure enough, they claim to have discovered “record-breaking threats” to health and even survival: It's the same every year – they ignore real-world data that actively suggests the opposite is true, and instead concoct increasingly obscure and questionable methods to suit their agenda. Of course, the very idea that the world’s climate has changed so…

from legal riots Americans are beginning to wake up to the reality of a “new green energy utopia”…which will apparently require more chemical reactions and fire reactions than initially promised. Posted by Leslie Eastman Another high-profile example of the dangers associated with lithium-ion batteries occurred during an explosion at a battery processing plant near Fredericktown, Missouri. The incident prompted a local evacuation. A fire broke out at a battery recycling plant near a southeastern Missouri town on Wednesday, forcing residents to evacuate their homes. Around 2 p.m., Madison County 911 representatives from the Sheriff's Office posted a message on Facebook…

from CFACT Craig Luck For decades, environmentalists have raised dubious but often successful objections to blockades of mines, pipelines, nuclear power and oil and gas operations. Now, as Shakespeare's Hamlet put it, they “were reaping the consequences,” referring to the small explosive devices used in siege warfare. Ironically, the legal and regulatory barriers that the Greens have erected and deployed against the fossil fuel companies they oppose are now exploding in their faces, impeding and impeding their beloved solar and wind projects. More poetically, “little guy” environmentalists often insist that they care deeply about who wields the weapons. Energy expert…

go through: Professor Andrew Charlton Perez As some of you may know, it’s an exciting time for climate education efforts lately, with universities increasingly becoming involved. work to get involved and hopefully get some of you excited to join the effort. Maybe even through our new It's time to make a change policy. Hopefully everyone in the department understands why this work is so important. For too long, education about climate change in schools has remained fragmented and inconsistent, despite the efforts of many excellent teachers. This is reflected in what young people say about climate education – check out…

From Manhattan Contrarian Francis Menton I pointed out in my post on October 23 that during this election cycle, “energy realism” has suddenly become a positive election issue for Republicans. The positive electoral effect comes from pointing out that a forced energy transition would increase costs for consumers, limit choice and destroy jobs. Examples cited include President Trump's use of Biden-Harris regulations restricting incendiary vehicles during a campaign event in Michigan, and his use of Harris' statement on banning fracking in Pennsylvania. But there is another approach to the energy realism theme, one that has been adopted by many Republican…
