Look at that spin! A pseudoscientific cottage industry has sprung up linking nearly every famous hurricane to climate change. Today, I look at recent efforts to attribute hurricanes to greenhouse gas emissions. The impact of climate change on hurricanes is said to be huge. Here are some examples for 2024: Let’s take a closer look at what’s behind these press releases. Like the hurricane spinning the wrong way in…

from masterresource By Robert Bradley Jr. — December 26, 2024 On this day in 2008, I launched MasterResource. The first article “New Energy Blog” wrote: We're just getting started, but some of us veterans of the energy debate from a private property, free market perspective have come together to offer our thoughts on the latest energy projects. As I read the newspaper every day, I hope to share some thoughts with people from a historical and worldview perspective.

Transcript: Islands are home to species found nowhere else on Earth. As sea levels rise, many unique plants and animals may be lost forever. Take the silver rice rat, a small furry animal from the Florida Keys. They live in coastal swamps and swamps, feeding on small creatures found at low tide. Terry: “They can roam the exposed tidal areas and look for crabs and snails and things like that.” But Paul Tiley of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill says rising sea levels are flooding some of the rats' habitats. So far, the animals have adapted successfully.…

Guest post by Kip Hansen — December 28, 2024 — 1800 words — many images The reservoir is simple. They can be thought of as a rain barrel, with a spout providing water inlet (such as from the roof), a spigot near the bottom of the barrel for extracting water from the barrel, and some overflow device. Great Salt Lake – a model One of the iconic geographical features of the American West is the Great Salt Lake (GSL). Now the GSL is not a reservoir, but it can teach us lessons about reservoirs in the American Southwest. A recent…
