Are you feeling a little scared about Friday after seeing endless photos of the auroras on Thursday night? Here's how you can prepare for next time, and a prediction for when next time might happen, which could be as soon as tonight's encore.What are auroras?The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are the result of charged particles from the sun reaching the Earth's atmosphere, creating geomagnetic storms when they hit the Earth's magnetic field. The particles are then redirected to Earth's poles, creating a dazzling display of color.Typically, such light displays are limited to high latitudes. But in…
After two hurricanes hit Florida in as many weeks, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis cast doubt on the idea that climate change is causing stronger storms. [emphasis, links added] “There is historical precedent for all of this,” DeSantis said Thursday. “It's hurricane season. You're going to have tropical weather. Environmentalists appear to be pushing Hurricanes Helen and Milton as evidence that climate change is a serious problem ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Climate scientists also continue to push the issue Despite a history of exaggeration About global warming. DeSantis has been criticized by activists and Democrats for removing climate goals…
After a slow start to the 2024 hurricane season, Mother Nature appears to be trying to make up for lost time. First, Helen hit the Florida Panhandle and wreaked havoc in Appalachia. This week, Hurricane Milton slammed into an area of Florida's Gulf Coast that hasn't been hit by such a powerful storm in more than a century. In Episode 130 of The Climate Realism Show, the Heartland Institute's H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely welcome back Stan Goldenberg, one of the nation's top hurricane experts, to Destroy Hurricane Milton. Will it really be a “major”…

this milwaukee sentinel As Hurricane Milton ravaged the Florida coast, MJS (MJS) shamefully sought to profit from Hurricane Milton, spreading false assertions and misinformation to further its aggressive climate change agenda. [emphasis, links added] MJS delivers a masterclass in deception and sensationalism, claiming: “…the message this year’s hurricane season sends” is that “climate change is here, there is no shelter, and it is deadly and costly.” If MJS and author Caitlin Looby bothered to research, they would find that there never were any “climate safe havens.” MJS claims: “The science is simple, clear and indisputable.” From this point of view,…
Author: Dugan Flanakin The race to commercialize nuclear fusion is taking a major turn, but a high school student is shaking up the fusion world by building a nuclear fusion reactor as a high school science project. Cesare Mencarini was an Italian who studied in England and taught himself programming and how to use electrical systems. He scoured YouTube and the Internet and built a custom reactor controlled and hosted by a Raspberry Pi system. His reactor achieves plasma, the fourth state of matter, a key step in the fusion process by efficiently using high pressure to heat atoms to…
You could say James Gill spent his entire life dodging hurricanes. The New Orleans native was just two years old when Hurricane Katrina devastated his city in 2005, becoming the costliest hurricane in U.S. history, claiming 1,833 lives. Gill's family evacuated and sheltered in Virginia for two months during and after the storm. They then returned, salvaged their house, and spent nearly two decades at sea level, enduring other life-threatening storms and evacuations. Guill’s mother, Terenia Urban Guill, called her son a “Katrina baby,” just as today’s young parents call their 2020 children “COVID babies”: a world-changing moment that fundamentally…
Jenny Ortiz-Ortiz is from Puerto Rico. She was living on the island and studying for the bar exam when Hurricane Maria hit in 2017. In the aftermath of devastating storms, she saw firsthand the legal and administrative challenges people faced—applying for rescue assistance, negotiating with insurance, or replacing important documents. Ortiz-Ortiz: “I started by helping a family member whose apartment was damaged meet FEMA requirements because she only spoke Spanish. Later, I also helped my then-employer apply for the Small Business Administration’s disaster loan program. I I was shocked at the length of the process and the numerous requirements. Her…

X Feed from Telegraph writer Andrew Orlowski. The incident highlights the recklessness of over-reliance on imported electricity. Of course, currently we are able to make up the shortfall, presumably with natural gas.
