Article by Eric Worrell First Posted by JoNova – No one wants to move until they see if America will pay for their green guise? Trump focuses on global climate talks as COP29 approaches Author: Nick PerrySeptember 16, 2024 Paris- The prospect of Donald Trump returning as president hangs in the balance as key UN-sponsored climate talks hang in the balance, with countries “reserving” their positions until they know who is in the White House. Veteran observers of climate diplomacy say uncertainty about the election outcome is haunting this November's COP29 summit, which begins just six days after voters decide…

When the media claims that we are experiencing a “once in 500 year” or “once in 1,000 year” weather event, they are missing a fundamental point about how the data works. As a geoscientist, this is my perspective and I am acutely aware of it. . [emphasis, links added] In geology, we study Earth's long history through rock formations, sedimentary layers, and the fossil record, which help us track major climate trends and changes throughout Earth's history. We can interpret signs of past floods, droughts and temperature changes, but there's a key limitation: Geological indicators cannot capture day-to-day extreme weather.…

Michael Mann, a prominent climate scientist at Penn State University, announced in April that his team's forecast for the 2024 North Atlantic season projected an “unprecedented” 33 named storms, ranging from 27 to 39. [emphasis, links added] This prediction turned out to be wrong. As Hurricane Francine hits the coast Thursday, The total number of named storms is just six, making it one of the quietest hurricane seasons yet. The Atlantic hurricane season lasts until November 30. It's possible that this season could produce more than 27 named storms, making Mann's prediction accurate, but it's highly unlikely. A report on…

This summer has been marked by frigid outdoor pools eagerly welcoming guests, concrete scorching the soles of bare feet, and popsicles melting in the relentless heat. [emphasis, links added] In August, the European Commission's Copernicus report found that global average temperatures had hit a record high in the past 12 months, rising 1.51 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Similarly, Roy Spencer and John Christie of the University of Alabama in Huntsville used satellite data to determine that average temperatures in August were 0.88 degrees Celsius warmer than the 30-year average from 1991 to 2020. “Extreme heat is not only an…

After a major hurricane hit the Louisiana coast, photos of the disaster made front-page news — homes with roofs ripped off, people wading through flooded streets, lawns littered with broken furniture. Hanusik: “It's almost like a stock image that we use to describe climate change.” But photographer Virginia Hanusik tells the region's story in a different way. Her photographs capture how nature and human hands shape the unique landscape of the Louisiana coast. A house on stilts overlooks a grassy estuary. The waves lapped against the high embankment. Dairy cows graze beneath oil pipeline warning signs. In her new book,…

For nearly three decades, Arizona-based author and journalist Todd Miller has been immersed in the real-life people and policies that define the U.S.-Mexico border. After Sept. 11, 2001, when the Department of Homeland Security took over immigration and law enforcement, he traveled across the border multiple times a week with BorderLinks, a community organization dedicated to education along the Arizona-Chiapas border and social justice. He later became a contributor to the nonprofit North American Latin American Conference, which analyzes and publishes trends in Latin America, and wrote four books about the U.S. border. In 2021, Miller co-founded the Border Chronicles…

From the Daily Skeptic Last week, Britain took two new steps to clear its industrial wealth-creating capacity. On Thursday, Petroineos confirmed plans to close its Grangemouth refinery. Then, after years of wrangling, the High Court ruled on Friday that Whitehaven Colliery could not go ahead. The latter is not just an oversight by the net-zero fanatics who run the country, who seem more interested in Ibiza’s wind farms and clubs than its oil refineries; it’s another expression of green resentment. The Whitehaven coal mine scheme has long been the subject of green laws. The hearing came to a conclusion after…

from climaterealism Author: H. Sterling Burnett The Associated Press (AP) published a report describing a study by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) that claimed climate change is costing Africa up to 5% of its GDP. The data shows this is wrong. Extreme weather in Africa is not becoming more frequent or severe, and gross domestic product in different regions and specific countries in Africa, cited by the World Meteorological Organization and discussed in the AP story, has grown significantly during recent climate change. Monika Pronczuk, the author of the AP report, uncritically repeated the World Meteorological Organization's statement that “African…
