from climaterealism Author: H. Sterling Burnett Forbes Several media outlets, including NBC News and NBC News, published ill-timed articles on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day claiming that climate change could cause snow to end Christmas Day. This is wrong. Although countless mainstream media have repeatedly declared that “snowfall is over” in the past, data shows that snowfall has generally remained relatively stable over the past few decades, with snow falling earlier and snow falling later. Overall snowfall trends have changed little, with white Christmases remaining as frequent or rare as they were historically during the Little Ice Age before the…

When President-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20, he faces the daunting task of restoring common sense and sanity to federal energy policy. [emphasis, links added] The past four years in this area can be more accurately described as a series of ill-conceived, irrational scams rather than any coherent, productive policy. Four years of bad policy—based largely on the crude principles of crony capitalism—have done serious damage to America’s level of energy security. There is no doubt that cleaning up the mess left by President Joe Biden and his appointees will take the full four years of Trump's second…

from CFACT David Wojik New Year's Retrospective. Many of the 41 CFACT articles were sent to key personnel in NOAA whale conservation within 2.5 years of publication. All of this is carefully ignored, which is an ongoing deception. Trump has promised to take action. 1.

As countries increasingly use seemingly cheap solar and wind power, something strange is happening: Our electricity bills are getting more expensive. [emphasis, links added] This exposes the lies of environmentalists that renewable energy has surpassed fossil fuels and that the “green transition” is irreversible even under a second Trump administration. The argument that green energy is cheaper relies on spurious math that measures the cost of electricity only when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. Modern society requires round-the-clock power and requires backup power, often powered by fossil fuels. This means we are paying for two power…

Vijay Jayaraj Scientific advances and agricultural technology revolutionized food production, making it easier for humans to feed an expanding population. Behind these famous innovations lies an unrecognized but integral contributor to the world's growing food security: rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). The molecule, wrongly labeled a “doomsday gas,” has been helping boost yields of important crops such as rice, wheat and soybeans. Food security is a serious matter No. 20th The Green Revolution of the twentieth century demonstrated how scientific intervention, including the use of chemical fertilizers, could significantly increase crop yields. The late 1960s saw a dramatic shift in…

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a new climate bill last week that forces fossil fuel companies to pay $75 billion They will be assessed for “restoration” over the next 25 years as they are accused of causing “extreme weather”. [emphasis, links added] “It's time Big polluters pay their fair share,” she declared. But that claim is an unscientific joke—this law, passed by some of the dullest, most ignorant lawmakers in the country, means Albany’s political class has just stepped on the accelerator of the Empire State’s economic demise. Under the law, New York would “impose cost recovery requirements” against responsible parties…

Much like 2023, many climate and energy records are broken in 2024. It was the hottest year on Earth's record, significantly beating the record set last year. Man-made climate warming pollution and atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations have reached new heights. But record deployment of cleantech solutions in 2024 prevented emissions from rising further. Scientists found that many other signs of life on Earth are also reaching record levels, including ocean acidity, sea level rise, ice caps, heat-related mortality, meat production and loss of forest cover. But they also point out that global levels of deforestation caused directly by human activity…

Transcript: Three years ago, an office building and jail in Martinez, Calif., were demolished to make way for a new county building and plaza that opened last year. But remnants of the old buildings remain. The contractor recycled marble for the new lobby. They repurposed granite blocks as outdoor benches. They used demolition rubble as backfill material around the new building. The goal is to reuse materials wherever possible to reduce construction waste. Rosa: “Construction is one of the industries that generates the most waste today.” Gabriele Rosa works for the consulting firm All About Waste, which advised on the…

not many people know Paul Homewood The World Bank Portal's analysis of Brazil also includes details on its Nationally Determined Contributions, the country's emissions commitments as its contribution to the Paris Agreement: https://climateknowledgeportal.worldbank.org/country/brazil I want to know how it turned out? BP Energy Review We don't have data for other greenhouse gases because they are not measured every year. But carbon dioxide emissions in 2023 will be 30% higher than in 2005. This number has barely declined since the NDC was officially registered in 2016. Yet delusional Miliband still believes the rest of the world will follow our lead and…

Article by Eric Worrell Legal penalties for “greenwashing” could force Australian companies to declare they are completely uninterested in climate action. Mandatory climate reporting to begin this year, marking generational change for Australian business National and regional reporter Clint Jasper reports in short: Australia's new mandatory climate reporting legislation will begin this week. The bill requires companies to disclose their emissions and how global warming may affect their balance sheets. What’s next: Only the largest entities will need to start reporting this year, but the legislation will cover more entities in coming years. Australia has introduced new mandatory climate reporting…
