Vance's refusal to allow a moderator to mislead viewers about Haiti, Ohio The human condition. [emphasis, links added] However, we focus on climate issues that are relatively underanalysed. Compared with the debate between Trump and Kamala Harris, this debate is far less “the host and the Democratic candidate teamed up against the Republican candidate.” But that certainly doesn't mean the hosts, CBS News' Norah O'Donnell and Margaret Brennan, completely…

Scientists find that deadly Hurricane Helene, wildfires in the Amazon, extreme monsoon downpours in India, heat waves during the Summer Olympics and other dangerous and devastating weather events in 2024 are all becoming more likely and more likely to occur due to climate change Destructive. Climate scientists quantified this link by running thousands of simulations in climate models, some including and some excluding the effects of human-caused atmospheric climate pollution. They also examined past and present weather data to see how the chances of such events changing in a hot world. This approach is called attribution science and is a…

from CFACT David Wojik Resources for the Future (RFF) conducted a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of 32 U.S. offshore wind projects currently in development. They proudly point out that the benefits exceed the costs by a factor of 14. But these purported benefits are not only exaggerated; They are fabricated. They simply don't exist. Their long title is “Offshore Wind Check: Impacts, Benefits, and Costs of Offshore Wind Farms on the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coasts.” See https://www.rff.org/news/press-releases/new-modeling-shows-offshore-winds-benefits-to-climate-health-and-energy-bills/.

Home solar panels can help people save a lot of money in the long term. But the upfront cost of installing new solar panels can exceed $10,000. So in many states, homeowners can lease solar panels. Larry Sherwood is chairman of the Interstate Renewable Energy Council. Sherwood: “Obviously it’s a lot easier to pay as you go than to invest a lot of money in the first place.” With solar leasing, homeowners essentially rent solar panels and use the power they produce, which lowers their overall energy bills. The rental company usually takes care of maintenance and repairs of the…

So what are we to make of such a compelling claim? Read his full analysis here. He concluded that weather attribution was intentional from the outset for political and media purposes.…
