Article by Eric Worrell Did the climate issue ever matter to these people? A day after nuclear power pledge, Meta announces launch of largest-ever data center powered by fossil fuels Three natural gas turbine plants at Louisiana site to produce 2,262 MW Brandon Villarullo Thursday, December 5, 2024 // 22:20 UTC Richland Parish, an idyllic rural area in northeastern Louisiana, is about to get a huge new metadata center. But rather than being powered by one of the on-site nuclear power plants Zuckercorp had previously advocated, the facility chose to burn more fossil fuels to fuel its AI computing workload.…
Article by Eric Worrell Some scientists are unable to explain the temperature increase in 2024, which is 0.2 degrees Celsius higher than model predictions. Study shows that fewer low-altitude clouds may be responsible for the “missing” 0.2 degrees Celsius of warming in Earth's hottest years Author: Environmental journalist Peter de Kruijff Friday, December 6 in short: Lower-than-expected low-level clouds are thought to be a potential cause behind mysterious global warming in 2023. Last year was the hottest on record, with warming reaching 1.45 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times, well above climate forecasts of 1.25 degrees Celsius for 2023. What to…
We all agree that the wind-driven surface currents of the Atlantic Multilayer Overturning Circulation (AMOC) carry precious warmth from the tropics to the Arctic and make the climate in Europe and North America milder. We all agree that the ocean has a huge impact on climate and is responsible for temperature changes that cannot be explained by the carbon dioxide greenhouse effect. The AMOC is unique in that: 1) It carries tropical heat from the South Atlantic across the equator into the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans (red current, Figure A). 2) It creates a warm Atlantic reservoir at depths…

from climaterealism Author: Linny Luken Vox recently published an article titled “Scientists are measuring burps and farts. It could help save the planet. Crucial. This is wrong. Methane produced by animals poses no environmental threat, contributes to global warming The impact is minimal. The article draws heavily on work by scientists in Colombia, who measured the amount of methane produced in burps and gases by different farm animals, depending on the type of feed they ate, to determine the feed that produced the least methane. Place animals indoors and monitor their emissions. Vox wrote: The chambers are part of a…

Gabriella Hoffman When people think of the incoming Trump-Vance administration's plans to unleash domestic energy production, they likely start with policies for oil and gas drilling and fracking and clean coal. However, nuclear energy plays a vital role in expanding our domestic energy resources and protecting the environment. We should not let old misconceptions about nuclear production get in the way. Support for nuclear energy in the United States has reached an all-time high – 56% of Americans support nuclear energy. However, this support is uneven, with 70% of men having a positive attitude towards nuclear energy compared to only…

Since Michael Crichton’s State of Fear was published 20 years ago, novels skeptical of climate alarms have become an endangered species. Most novels dealing with this subject reinforce the false notion that the world is on the verge of apocalypse. That’s why it’s both fun and refreshing to read Jon Pepper’s latest novel, Hostile Climates , the fifth book in his entertaining and insightful Fossil Feud series. Pepper takes aim at the topic with a keen eye and finds ample space to mock the doomsday narrative that dominates the media, government, and popular culture. Pepper's story follows Lindsay Harper-Crow, chairman…
From the Daily Caller Irving KlinskyContributor A group of renewable energy developers and environmental activists are urging the largest U.S. grid operator to abandon its proposals to prevent energy shortages, according to a letter released Tuesday. Hundreds of millions of Americans are at risk of power shortages this winter as data centers drive a surge in electricity demand and grid unreliability has led grid operator PJM to propose a fast-track process to connect 50 more power plants to the grid. system. Now, an unnamed group of green energy producers is urging grid operators to abandon that effort, sending a letter…
