DANA is still ongoing over Spain, with very strong storms also occurring along the coast of Andalusia, Castellon and Catalonia. The impact of the meteorological phenomenon known as an isolated upper-altitude depression (DANA) has killed more than 210 people in the Spanish province of Valencia and caused immeasurable damage to the Spanish Mediterranean region. The incident was the worst disaster the country has experienced in its recent history. Thousands of Spaniards arrived in Valencia over the weekend to assist local residents. Many have criticized the government for being slow to respond to help residents in the worst-hit areas. What is…
By 2032, the lights may be out in Michigan. That's the prediction from federal regulators, regional grid officials and a new study of the impact of “net-zero” energy plans in seven Great Lakes states. [emphasis, links added] The study, conducted by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, analyzed power plans from 38 large investor-owned utilities in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania, including 32 Countries have committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 or earlier. Three states, including Michigan, have set net-zero carbon emissions goals in state law, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation in November 2023 targeting…
Josh's comic reads: I just posted this https://twitter.com/Cartoonsbyjosh/status/1853372731267453020 Might play a role in Monday cheer. Ben’s article is here https://dailysceptic.org/2024/11/02/scepticisms-post-covid-problem/ all the best Josh Ben's article requires payment, but here is his Twitter post about his article. https://x.com/clim8resistance/status/1852646910529503340 https://www.climate-resistance.org/2015/03/the-peer-reviewed-dirt-on-monbiots-dirty-new-scare-story.html https://twitter.com/clim8resistance/status/1853039837323972934 I also commented on Ben's original tweet. Charles Rotter 📟@crotter8Excellent work. Another way to put it is that we have serious epistemological problems with the institutions and scientific knowledge we capture ideologically. In some cases, such as the effectiveness of mRNA therapies, agencies like the CDC and NIH have fallen into blatant lies, but we still expect these agencies to…

If two ballot initiatives to repeal legislation limiting natural gas use and taxing companies' carbon emissions pass on Nov. 5, voters could cast doubt on outgoing Washington Gov. Jay Inslee's climate legacy. A major blow. [emphasis, links added] Washington state residents will vote on two energy-related ballot initiatives, including Repeal laws restricting natural gas use (I-2066) and others Abolish the national carbon trading system (I-2117), which supporters labeled “Hidden Gas Tax”. Supporters believe passage of these initiatives would send a clear message to the Democratic trifecta in Washington: Residents are not content with paying higher gas prices than most across…
A BBC article titled “Scientists are sure a warming world is making Spain's storms more intense” links recent flash floods in Spain to climate change. This is wrong. [emphasis, links added] The data refutes claims that flooding in Europe is getting worse as a result of mildly warming temperatures. Furthermore, this story ignores Spain's long history of sometimes catastrophic flooding, since many of Spain's cities are located in narrow valleys. Dr Friederike Otto, co-director of World Weather Attribution (WWA), told the BBC: “There is no doubt that these heavy rains are exacerbated by climate change. “Every time fossil fuels warm…
From Dr. Spencer's Global Warming Blog Author: Dr. Roy W. Spencer The global mean lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly in version 6.1 for October 2024 is +0.73 degrees. C deviates from the 1991-2020 average and is +0.80 degrees below the September 2024 anomaly. C. The new (version 6.1) global regional average temperature trend (January 1979 to October 2024) is now +0.15 °C/decade (+0.21 C/decade over land, +0.13 C/decade over ocean). Previous (version 6.0) trends up to September 2024 were +0.16 C/decade (global), +0.21 C/decade (land) and +0.14 C/decade (ocean). The following provides background on the changes leading to the new…

Bernard Yin has been fly fishing for trout in California's mountain streams for decades. He was used to seeing change. Yin: “You have dry years and you have wet years. … Over time, in recent years, it’s become clear that these fluctuations have been more dramatic. As the climate warms, droughts are increasing. With less water, streams heat up and the oxygen in the water drops. This stresses cold water fish like trout. Already distressed fish may not recover if anglers catch and release them. So Yin and his wife, Rebecca Ramirez, often wait until rain or melting snow cools…
Paul Homewood https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(24)01822-1/abstract Yes, they push the same lies every year to try to convince us that global health is compromised by climate change. You only have to read the first paragraph to know that this is a political document, not a serious scientific one. Sure enough, they claim to have discovered “record-breaking threats” to health and even survival: It's the same every year – they ignore real-world data that actively suggests the opposite is true, and instead concoct increasingly obscure and questionable methods to suit their agenda. Of course, the very idea that the world’s climate has changed so…
