Transcript: When you turn on the faucet to take a shower, you only want the water to be warm. You don't want to consider which energy to use to heat it up. But utilities do. With the popularity of electric heat pump water heaters, some Western utilities are testing technology that can adjust how long these devices use electricity when they have more clean energy on the grid. Whited: “The heat pump water heater is really easy to control.” Wesley Whited works with global consulting firm DNV. This can be done while maintaining the comfort of residents, he said. Whide:…
from masterresource Robert Bradley Jr. “Lisa Sachs repeatedly refuses to address intellectual diversity and needs a balanced debate on open climate issues. Yesterday’s post highlighted Lisa Sachs, a master’s degree in climate finance from Columbia Climate School. What is the course and what is it from an academic perspective? First, parents’ task statement: The mission of Columbia Climate School is to further knowledge and educate leaders to achieve equitable and impartial solutions to changing climate and related sustainability challenges. educate: Columbia Climate Schools Education Future Climate Leaders, address the urgent challenges facing our planet through graduate degree programs and provide…
Vijay Jayaraj U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright has shown a change that could mean the difference between life and death in Africa. Speaking at the “Africa Summit” in Washington, D.C., Wright told mainland leaders of 1.5 billion people that the Trump administration “don’t want to tell you how to deal with your energy system.” This is different from the Biden regime, which is aiming at a much-week royal family in the Western climate with new green deals to developing countries that are unaffordable and suffer. Wright said of climate evangelism: “It’s a paternalistic postcolonial attitude that I can’t stand.…
A tribute to independent science and curiosity Forrest M. Mims III is a name that people who value empirical science, institutional gatekeeper skepticism and independent research should be familiar with. He is also a regular commenter on Wuwt, and he becomes a fan of what we do. I first went through some of his in Radio Shack stores (e.g. Engineer's mini notebook and Getting started with electronic products. I still have two. His latest book, Maverick scientist(Finished on Amazon) is both an autobiographical account and a proof of observation of scientific value, and is increasingly overlooked in today's model-driven world…
Eric Worrall's paper In Coober Pedy, white people live in cozy canoes while the Aboriginals are stuffy. But is this indeed the racial divide of climate change? Climate change widens the racial divide in Australia's inland areas The Story of Michael E. Miller Coober Pedy, Australia – From her front door, Sonya Crombie can see the sandstone hills, where white men carved the land in search of opals, and then stayed, turning their mines into elaborately constructed underground houses isolated from the desert heat. But when Crombie's air conditioning broke out in November, just as the hot summer was approaching,…
Last week, the Environmental Protection Agency announced that it would withdraw its Biden administration’s greenhouse gas emission standards on power plants. [emphasis, links added] This is good news for consumers, and without the repeal of the rules, they will suffer widespread power outages and billions of dollars in fees. The rules finalized by the Biden administration in May 2024 will allow millions to roll out the power outages by effectively forcing reliable coal-fired power plants to retire and establishing barriers to build new gas plants needed to reliably replace them. According to Biden's rules, Coal and new gas plants will…
A recent article guardian Claims that “climate denials” in Australia are increasing, suggesting skepticism about the claim that climate change is the recent tropical climate Alfred causes climate change. This is nonsense. [emphasis, links added] “Climate deniers” is a false label, and these skeptics are actually criticizing the common media narrative about climate change and tropical cyclones, which has not made it worse. In the post, “Former tropical cyclone Alfred ushers amid wave of fresh climate denials when Trump attacks American scientific institutions” Guardian of Australia Climate and Environment Editor Adam Morton wrote: What are their [skeptical commentators] What is…
From Weather is not climate unless we say it is The department and the University of Reading press release is about an Inane study that attempts to link tree rings to bad weather while ignoring warning fatigue. How to Stop Being Amazed by Extreme Weather – Research Helping the community predict extreme weather events that have never been recorded in modern history are published in Natural Communication. The University of Reading and other international organizations’ teams of Climate Adaptation Services Foundation have brought together methods to transcend the limitations of traditional weather records, often covering only the last century. The…
First, let us all realize that the climate on Earth has been changing back and forth since our planet first developed a primitive atmosphere about 4 billion years ago. [emphasis, links added] The Ice Age has covered the Northern Hemisphere four times in the past 400,000 years, each age lasting about 90,000 years, separated by a relatively brief “interic period” as we currently expected to start about 12,000 years ago. The Northern Hemisphere is warmer or warmer than it is now in the “Warm Time of Rome” 2,000 years ago When Italians wear stylish cool sandals and togas, About a…
Throughout Europe, exposure to severe winters in cold climates is a greater death threat than spending a very hot summer in warm climates. [emphasis, links added] Simple, warm, gentle winters save lives, while cold weather and harsh winters shorten life. The authors of a new study insist that the modern focus is on limiting global warming to reduce heat-related mortality because it ignores the more dangerous threat posed by cold weather. “The main climate threat to reduce life expectancy in Europe remains low temperatures. “…The main threat remains low-temperature mortality, which should no longer be overlooked in analyzing climate risks.”…
