“Combating rampant climate-related disinformation on social media” – “Debunking myths and ending denialist narratives” – “Global Initiative for Climate Change Message Integrity” – Watts Up With That?
From Climate Warehouse Mark Morano https://www.un.org/climatechange/information-integrity Excerpt from United Nations Organization: The Brazilian government, the United Nations and UNESCO are joining forces to strengthen research and measures to combat disinformation campaigns that delay and undermine climate action. “We must also combat climate disinformation. The United Nations, together with Brazil and UNESCO, is launching the Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change. We will work with researchers and partners to step up action against climate disinformation. ——United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres The Global Initiative for Information Integrity on Climate Change aims to strengthen support for urgent climate action at a…
Article by Eric Worrell A former army officer is leading a green legal attack on gas extraction companies. Methane leaks are exacerbating the climate crisis – here’s what we must do now By RUSSEL L. HONORÉ, Opinion Contributor – 12/31/24 12:00pm ET In the fight against climate change, the focus is often on carbon dioxide (CO)2 — and for good reason. It is a greenhouse gas that remains in the atmosphere for years, bringing heat to future generations. However, there is an even more powerful planet-warming gas whose destructive power has long been hidden—until now. … The fossil fuel industry…
West Coast Wind Blog: A low pressure with strong and deadly winds is likely to occur mid next week from January 7th to 9th
when a cut off low It moves into Baja California during the winter, severely affecting surface winds and weather in the region. Usually the following happens: The cutoff low is an upper low that is “isolated” from the main jet stream, with upper-level winds rotating around the low-pressure center. Because they are no longer attached to the main stream of the jet stream that normally moves weather from west to east, they can move slowly or stall. This could keep severe weather conditions in the area for several days. This also makes the location of the upper cutoff low very…
Scientists report 'remarkable global greening trend' over past 42 years – does it mean anything?
Author: Kenneth Richard, December 30, 2024 The greening of Earth's vegetated areas “is due to carbon dioxide fertilization, climate change and land use changes”. New research on remote sensing (Gutierrez-Hernandez and Garcia, 2025) uses robust statistical methods to eliminate false positives and spurious correlations in establishing vegetation trends in the satellite era. Scientists found that over the past 42 years (1982 to 2023), 38% of the Earth's land surface has experienced a statistically significant greening or browning trend. Traditional methods (i.e., the Mann-Kendall test) have previously found that 51% of the Earth's surface has experienced statistically significant vegetation trends during…

Transcript: The bipartisan infrastructure bill allocates $1 trillion to repair or rebuild infrastructure like roads and bridges. Not only does the funding provide an opportunity to make the country's infrastructure more resilient to climate change, it can also help wildlife adapt. Roads and bridges often prevent wildlife from migrating to more suitable habitats as climate change or as they flee extreme events such as wildfires, said Renee Callahan of the nonprofit Arc Solutions. Callahan: “If animals can't leave the affected area, then those animals are going to die.” The law could be helpful because it includes funding for special overpasses…

The Met Office claims to have recorded temperatures at Stornoway Airport 30 years before airplanes were invented – is this shocking?
From the Daily Skeptic Chris Morrison The Met Office claims temperature records at Stornoway Airport date back to 1873. An error logging database. In another sign that the Met Office is failing to accurately record temperatures across the UK in its day-to-day work and is on a mission to scare people into accepting a looming net-zero catastrophe, data inventions from 103 non-government agencies were exposed last year. of weather stations, and nearly the entire network of 380 weather stations was severely distorted by unnatural thermal damage. All of this happened in a year when it added a politicized measure to…
Provided by the Empowerment Alliance There has been a lot of talk about U.S. energy production and consumption in recent months. Specifically, which types of energy are best suited for today and, perhaps more importantly, our needs tomorrow, is a subject that has dominated conversations from town halls to coffee shops and kitchen tables. Data centers, buildings filled with servers and other computing equipment for data storage and networking that support operations and artificial intelligence (AI), could account for 17% of total U.S. electricity consumption by 2030, according to Bloomberg Intelligence research. %. According to the Department of Energy, a…
Article by Eric Worrell If you have a possible missing variable problem, the solution is to add more arbitrary adjustments to your model? AI reveals accelerating climate change: 3°C temperature rise is imminent Published by IOP December 28, 2024 Artificial intelligence-enhanced research shows that regional warming will exceed critical thresholds sooner than expected, with most regions on track to exceed 1.5°C by 2040. Adapt to action. Three leading climate scientists used artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze data from 10 global climate models to improve accuracy. Their findings suggest that regional warming thresholds may be reached earlier than previously estimated. ……
