Duck Creek tributaries in northwest Indiana often flood when it rains, swamping nearby roads. Schleizer: “When the floods come, it can get very chaotic…so people, you know, are stuck and can't travel like they used to.” Bill Schleizer is with the nonprofit Delta Institute. He said pollution, road salt and sediment from farms also wash into creeks during storms. As climate change brings more intense rainfall, the risk of flooding also increases. So Schleizer's team is working with local officials to restore the Duck Creek ecosystem. Last year, they started at about 1,000 feet into the stream and turned a…
not many people know Paul Homewood h/t Philip Bratby The UK is importing electricity from abroad at a record price of £250m a month after the closure of coal-fired and nuclear power plants, new analysis shows. In the second quarter of this year, about 20% of the grid's electricity demand was met through interconnectors with neighboring countries, according to energy company Drax. The amount of electricity imported from abroad is twice the amount produced by wind and solar farms, about 12.2 terawatt hours. This is also about four times the amount of electricity exported. Drax said the total cost Input…
From the Daily Caller Nick PopeContributor A ruling by a judge appointed by President Joe Biden could ultimately halt oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico in December. Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee to the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, in August sided with the prosecution of environmentalists, vacating a key National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) environmental review known as Biological opinion), the review is based on offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Unless the federal government can amend the biological opinion by Dec. 20 and bar the high court or Congress from…

Tropical Storm Francine, currently in the Bay of Campeche in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, is expected to make an impact Wednesday night, with hurricane warnings and storm surge warnings in effect for much of the Louisiana coast. Francine appeared on September 9, ending an extremely long period without a named storm in the Atlantic, 11 days before the usual August 29 date for the sixth named storm of the season. Francine keeps organizing Figure 1. In the Gulf of Mexico, where Francine will travel on Monday and Tuesday, sea surface temperatures in late August were the highest on record.…
The mainstream view in climate science is that Arctic sea ice loss is caused almost entirely by human-caused global warming, primarily carbon dioxide emissions. However, a nature communications The research title is The role of atmospheric rivers in shaping long-term changes in Arctic sea ice A key factor that has been largely overlooked is highlighted: atmospheric rivers (AR). These ARs (narrow and intense water vapor flows originating in the tropics and mid-latitudes) play an important role in Arctic sea ice changes that are not adequately captured by conventional climate models. By focusing too much on carbon dioxide as the culprit…
Tropical Storm Francine, currently in the Bay of Campeche in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico, is expected to make landfall late Wednesday, and hurricane watches and storm surge watches are in effect along much of the Louisiana coast.

An article on the British website Future Net Zero (FNZ) claims that climate change is causing anxiety in children. This is wrong. [emphasis, links added] Since climate change is imperceptible and weather is not becoming more extreme, it is only the constant stream of media scare stories and misconceptions promoted in schools that the planet is doomed if climate action is not taken immediately. Children bring trauma. This makes groups like FNZ, and those they reference in their stories, complicit in damaging children's mental health. The article, titled “Climate change triggers anxiety in children,” discusses a “new campaign” launched by…

California public schools will begin offering required courses on climate change as AB 285, the law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom last year, takes effect, reportedly aimed at indoctrinating the state's children. [emphasis, links added] The Federalist Papers reported on AB 285: California students are getting a new science curriculum this year aimed at educating students about climate change through the apocalyptic perspective of far-left activists. Last fall, California lawmakers passed Assembly Bill 285, which requires all science courses in grades 1 to 12 to “emphasize the causes and effects of climate change and methods of mitigating and adapting to…
