A report published by National Public Radio (NPR) on September 9 asked this question: Can America's favorite red wine withstand climate change? The answer is yes, even though the story wrongly suggests the opposite. Data shows that Napa Valley grapes have experienced hotter temperatures in the past, and despite more than 30 years of global warming, grape production in the region has actually increased. Here are some excerpts from the article: But increasingly severe heat waves are taking a toll on grape varieties, especially during late summer ripening. As temperatures continue to rise, the wine industry is slowly facing a…
Substack from Tom Nelson tom nelson The fact that many people, including doctors like Robert Malone, are now resisting climate hoaxes is a “very” positive development. After so many large-scale, high-profile lies have been uncovered in recent years, many people are asking themselves “what else have they lied about?” and the answer is “almost everything.” The Elites tried to do the Great Reset, but they got the Great Awakening. There are also some reasons for optimism: Climate Nexus, a warmist group that has been driving climate hysteria for more than a decade and has dozens of employees, suddenly threw in…
Paul Theis Reports of the imminent demise of the environmental, social and governance (ESG) movement have been grossly exaggerated. While some sustainability-minded companies and Wall Street firms have recently adopted lower ESG profiles due to public backlash, this has largely been a tactical retreat until governments provide air cover. Financial regulators are now coming to the rescue, passing rules to make the entire climate-focused ESG system mandatory and prescriptive. In March 2024, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued final climate disclosure rules requiring every major U.S. company to report in detail all climate-related physical and transition risks faced…
From the Daily Skeptic Chris Morrison Now the Met Office has relabeled the daily “heat” as “extreme”, certainly to increase people's fear of heat as part of the net zero education process. Last Wednesday, Teddington Bushy Park recorded an “extreme” temperature of 20.4°C. As the Google Earth photo below shows, adjacent high walls that reflect heat onto measuring equipment, as well as large residential developments that warm nearby areas, contribute to the spread of “extreme” temperatures. Teddington Bush Gardens is a Level 4 site with an internationally recognized “uncertainty” of 2°C. Joke category 4 station might be a more appropriate…
Article by Eric Worrell Low-income countries… need an additional $308.5 billion per year… International support is needed to achieve this goal. Half of the world's people lack social protection amid climate crisis, ILO warns September 12, 2024 climate and environment Social protection is crucial to protecting people from shocks, but half of the world’s people have no social protection whatsoever, including more than 90 percent of people living in climate-vulnerable countries, a new report from the International Labor Organization (ILO) shows on Thursday. people. About 50% of us do have access to at least one Social Security benefit, but 3.8…
Vijay Jayaraj The Paris Summer Games (including the Olympic and Paralympic Games) are over. Although the United States placed first at the Olympics and in the top three at the Paralympics, much of the world's attention was focused on the Games' obscene mockery of Christianity during the opening ceremony in Paris. It also casts a shadow over some unprecedented events in the city. Days before the Olympics, French authorities fined the country's second-largest news channel 20,000 euros for challenging popular narratives about the so-called climate crisis. CNews, a 24/7 news organization, has been accused by the Audiovisual and Digital Communications…
Oh, the elite are at it again, folks. They've found that the real reason you're staying up at night worrying whether the world will burn in a hot climate catastrophe isn't because of their alarmism, but because – wait for it -individualism. That's right, in this star from Los Angeles TimesIn this book, the author racks his brains about the scourge of “climate anxiety” and, of course, traces it to the root of all evil: the fact that you still cherish your personal freedom. This masterpiece of neurotic mumbo jumbo is titled "To address climate anxiety, we must first address…
What do climate activists really want? Do they have only a noble crusade in mind to prevent the burning sky from descending upon us? Or is the global warming scare just another part of this revolution? [emphasis, links added] Of course it's the latter. We know this because they keep telling us it is. The most recent acknowledgment comes from Los Angeles Times environmental reporter Rosanna Xia, who published a grueling piece on Wednesday (yes, September 11) titled “To address climate anxiety (and climate change), we first Individualism must be addressed”. Xia discussed at length the “climate anxiety” caused by…
At 11 a.m. ET on Friday, September 13, Tropical Storm Gordon becomes the seventh named storm of the 2024 Atlantic season, beginning a long, slow journey across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic—assuming Gordon can Survive this trek. Based on records between 1991 and 2020, this year's seventh named Atlantic storm arrives on September 3 on average, so Gordon arrives more than a week later than a typical “G” storm. As of 11 a.m. ET Friday, Gordon was in the remote tropical North Atlantic, about 1,000 miles west-northwest of the Cape Verde Islands. Gordon has maximum sustained winds of 40…
Figure 1. The Fagradalsfjall volcano erupted in Iceland. The ash cloud and hot lava contained mercury (Photo from Wikimedia/Berserkur). A study by the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences concluded that mercury concentrations and volumes are unusually high in Alaska's Yukon River watershed (see here). Researchers believe these high values are caused by rapid melting of mercury-rich frozen permafrost along the Yukon River. They are convinced that the rapid melting is caused by dramatic increases in atmospheric temperatures caused by climate change. As our planet continues to warm rapidly and unnaturally due to climate change, vast accumulations of…
