From Dr. Roy Spencer's Global Warming Blog Author: Dr. Roy W. Spencer Metop-C satellites have been added to our processing With this update, we added Metop-C to our processing, so along with Metop-B, we are back to having two satellites in the processing flow. Metop-C data recording began in July 2019. Metop-B started to show some drift in the last year or so, but it's still too small to worry about any diurnal drift correction. The global mean lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly in version 6.1 for November 2024 is +0.64 degrees. C deviates from the 1991-2020 average and is…

Comedian and HBO host Bill Maher called Jane Fonda “naive” during a “Club Random” podcast conversation in which the Hollywood actress called for an end to fossil fuels as we know them. [emphasis, links added] “This will never happen” Maher said. Jane Fonda appeared on Monday's episode of the “Club Random” podcast, during which she and Bill Maher talked about a wide range of topics, including aging (Fonda turns 87 this month), marriage and politics. At one point, Fonda turned the conversation to her favorite activist cause: climate change. “We're facing a climate crisis, and based on the science -…

As climate change intensifies, more and more people are eager to help, but the maze of charitable giving can be overwhelming. With so many nonprofits tackling this global challenge, how do you choose what to support? Should you focus on renewable energy or community resilience?

First, turn to Google. You can enter search terms such as “your state name” and “climate change initiatives” or “climate justice in your town name.” Vox also has…

As climate change increases the risk of wildfires in the American West, hikers may encounter smoke and flames more frequently. For example, hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail have witnessed multiple fires this year. Some even had to evacuate. Chris Rylee is a member of the Pacific Crest Trail Association. Reilly: “There were some hikers here and there who were stuck in the evacuation and had to use safety gear to call in search and rescue support to get out.” He said it's crucial to find a way to keep up with emergency alerts while hiking.

Update: Lulu is 30% off the print version, but the coupon expires at midnight tonight, December 3rd, most likely UK time. Coupon Code: HOLIDAY30 Hello everyone, My calendar is a little different this year. Over the past few months, my wonderful local print shop has closed and any printing jobs I oversee will be done from head office miles away. This means some additional costs and delivery issues. So I decided to create a small number of calendars for my very grateful donors (everyone who donates £60 a year will receive a free calendar – see here) For all those…

From master resources Steve Gorham “Due to hail and other weather damage, insurance premiums for solar facilities have skyrocketed, rising as much as 400% in some cases. In addition, policy coverage is capped at $10-15 million, requiring system developers to obtain multiple policies to try to cover their project. Wind and solar's share of U.S. electricity generation has been growing over the past two decades. State and federal mandates and subsidies drive the expansion of renewable energy because of their inherent dilute and intermittent nature. But it’s clear that renewable energy faces a third blow: They are fragile and susceptible…

from legal riots In today's environment, having a governor target one of the country's most popular entrepreneurs and harm his citizens is unappealing to Americans.

The UK is fully committed to achieving net zero emissions. This is the ratio of one of the pictures above. I think British politicians still think of themselves as a global power. Sorry, that ship has sailed. Meanwhile, our resident whistleblower and fact-finder Willis Eschenbach wrote a piece two weeks ago defining just how much of an impact the UK’s net-zero madness is having on global temperatures: Keir Starmer's climate madness For those of you who are not climate workers, the answer won’t surprise you.

There's been a lot of bad news lately for supporters of the climate agenda and net-zero policies. COP29, the United Nations' annual climate conference, has failed to live up to campaigners' ideals. [emphasis, links added] The United Nations admitted in October that no progress had been made towards net-zero emissions. In the United States, voters elected a president who blatantly calls climate change a hoax. Gabriella Hoffman, Director of the Energy and Conservation Center at the Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) Just news That Climate change is only a minor issue on voters' minds, while the state of the economy and…
