Nigeria, Africa's most populous country, has repeatedly plunged into darkness. In 2024 alone, the country's national power grid has collapsed ten times, leaving millions without power. Recent power outages caused by weak infrastructure and damage have highlighted the enduring energy crisis that hampers economic growth and development. But beneath the surface lurks a key question: Why has one of the world's most resource-rich countries failed to build a resilient energy system? The answer lies in a combination of internal challenges and external pressures—most notably, climate colonialismenergy policies set by global financial institutions and wealthy countries prioritize carbon reduction over human…

from CFACT David Wojcik The United Nations Conference of the Parties on Climate Change has always been about big money, but until now, there has been a facade of emissions reductions to cover it up. Money is a big deal this time, and it's crazy as hell. Starting next year, they want trillions of dollars from us. That people take this nonsense seriously speaks volumes about the unreality of the UN climate plan. But it will be fun to watch them hit the wall of “impossibility.” In fact, there are three major funding issues that deserve attention. First, the annual…
If Ed Miliband's promise to cut his heating bill by £300 and deliver “100% clean energy by 2030” was a movie, it would be a sci-fi comedy, complete with magical wind farms and Santa's workshop Effective planning committees. Unfortunately, the joke is aimed at Britain, as this farce is costly for the average British person. Buckle up, folks, because this is where green daydreams meet the cold, hard walls of reality. NESO report: Reality’s blow is not so subtle The National Electricity System Operator (NESO) essentially dropped a truth bomb on Miliband's fantasies. Let’s review the highlights: No £300 savings:…
from climaterealism Author: Linny Luken A number of media published articles reporting on a report by the European Copernicus Climate Change Service (“Copernicus”). The report stated that 2024 will be the first time since the pre-industrial era that the temperature rise has exceeded 1.5°C. The media said this will cause incalculable consequences. weather disasters. This is mostly wrong. While average temperatures in 2024 are likely to be warmer than in recent decades, it is not yet the end of the year, there is limited evidence to support the claim that it will represent the highest temperatures humans have ever experienced,…

In the 173 years of Atlantic hurricane records, only a handful of storms have ever roamed the Gulf of Mexico as hurricanes, but then died before making landfall on the Gulf Coast as tropical cyclones. To the delight of Gulf Coast residents, this month's Hurricane Rafael is expected to join the short list of eight underperforming hurricanes and will be the only major hurricane among them. Rafael briefly intensified into a Category 3 hurricane in the Gulf early Friday, becoming the most westerly major hurricane ever recorded in November. Thankfully, Rafael will stay on the water, although its effects will…
From Dr. Roy Spencer's Global Warming Blog Dr. Roy Spencer Key points: For years, some commentators have believed that the highest temperature ever recorded in the world was 134 degrees Celsius. The F recorded in Death Valley, California on July 10, 1913 is physically incredible. Here I show quantitatively that a temperature of 134 degrees Fahrenheit is on the high side, about 10 degrees Celsius. F. William T has conducted extensive historical research. Reed suggested that those making temperature observations at the Greenland pasture might replace the official measurements from the thermometer in Stevenson's screened shed with other measurements taken…
A small storm broke out on social media this week when scientific americanIn a late-night rage, Laura Helmuth made profane and disparaging comments about those who voted for Donald Trump. As often happens in social media uproar, many called for Helmuth to be fired from his editorial position. Yet this isn’t just about a highly partisan editor at a magazine, and firing her won’t solve the deeper problem. quite, The incident reflects the normalization of partisanship, often accompanied by intolerance and vitriol, in a field of science that is particularly closely tied to policy and politics. Every day I point…
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported on Friday that the continental United States had its second driest month on official records since 1895, after two hurricanes caused catastrophic flooding. The average precipitation for October in the lower 48 states was 0.95 inches, tying October 1963 and November 1917 as the second driest month on record in the 130-year history of records. October 1952 was much thicker than the other months, with only 0.54 inches recorded. (For more information about that month and the related 1950s drought, see our October 25 post.) As October approaches, drought and drought…
