From the Daily Caller Irish Owens Contributor California regulators and some truck manufacturers are facing growing pushback from truckers and red states as they push for electric vehicle (EV) adoption across the state. Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom signed an executive order in September 2020 to phase out the sale of all new gas-powered vehicles in the state by 2035. Numerous lawsuits related to new regulations. Now, some truckers and red states are trying to block rules they say will slow down supply chains and force “a shift to more expensive and less efficient electric trucks,” according to a trucking…
from legal riots At the same time, the Association of American Medical Colleges conducted a survey and found that 55% of medical schools stated that the impact of climate change on health is a required topic in their courses. Posted by Leslie Eastman Although I do not suffer from asthma, I know friends who have children who do. I have seen that using an inhaler is crucial to effectively controlling asthma. They deliver medications directly to the lungs, resulting in faster relief and better symptom control. However, in an effort to eliminate “greenhouse gases” based on pseudoscience about the climate…
From Climate Warehouse Mark Morano https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/dec/24/trump-effect-undermines-un-climate-summit Author: Mark Morano – The 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference concluded recently in Baku, Azerbaijan. This summit can be summed up in one sentence: Orange is cheating. The election of former President Donald Trump just days before the start of the Conference of the Parties, known as COP29, had a profound impact on any potential success of the summit. The Times of London wrote, “The wind follows [COP29’s] It all started before climate skeptic Donald Trump was elected in the US” The frustration among COP29 attendees was palpable. With the exception of new…
Ah, the Sierra Club. In its bombastic press release, the self-proclaimed “force of nature” now sounds more like the force of a toddler’s stomping foot, “We will be a force of nature defending our communities and our planet from Trump.” Brace yourselves, folks—this isn't just virtue signaling; This is the virtue of shouting on tambourines and megaphones. Let’s break it down, shall we? Trump, the supervillainThe Sierra Club begins by declaring that Donald Trump is basically a climate supervillain plotting to destroy the planet while twirling his metaphorical oil-soaked beard. Their evidence? Well, they don't actually offer much. Instead, we…
Andy May The featured image is of the Big Bend, Texas, area in October 2015, when the drought index was moderately wet. Photos taken by the author. Stories of some kind of catastrophic drought currently occurring in the American West are grossly exaggerated (with apologies to Mark Twain). While the western United States is dry due to its location in an area of permanent high pressure and low rainfall, current drought conditions in the region are mild by historical standards. This article is primarily an update of two previous articles by Anthony Watts ( here and here ). Watts’ post…
Today, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed into law the Climate Change Superfund bill, which will charge oil and gas companies approximately $75 billion over the next 25 years. [emphasis, links added] The controversial measure, sponsored by Sen. Liz Krueger and Rep. Jeffrey Dinowitz, is modeled on federal and state Superfund laws to bring charges against companies accused of pollution. Although environmental groups strongly support the legislation, Business groups argue it will increase the cost of doing business in the state, and consumers will ultimately bear the brunt of higher energy prices. “The Climate Change Superfund Act is now law,”…
The week between Christmas and New Year is a special time – a liminal space where the usual madness of modern life pauses and reflection takes center stage. For many, now is the time to step back, take stock, and plan for the year ahead. This tradition can do wonders for climate policy, where hasty decisions and dogmatic thinking often dominate conversations. Maybe it’s time for climate policy to take a break. In a field driven by alarmist narratives and speculative science, the concept of a pause—a true break to reassess—is desperately needed. Policies based on climate models filled with…

Transcript: When a friend or family member survives a devastating hurricane, wildfire, or flood, many people wonder how to best support them emotionally. Pamela Londoño Salazar, a mental health consultant at the global NGO Project Hope, said the first step is to listen. Londoño Salazar: “Thus, a good listener gives the other person space to share their story without interruption and to remain silent.” Then, acknowledge and affirm the emotions your friend or loved one is feeling. Londoño Salazar: “Often, people affected by these extreme weather events feel scared, disoriented, confused, frustrated… so reassure them that it doesn't matter what…
not many people know Paul Homewood Regarding the electric vehicle consultation, what I really want to comment on is the following serious false information: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/industry-encouraging-to-shape-uk-transition-to-zero-emission-vehicles The consultation document is more specific: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/phasing-out-sales-of-new-petrol-and-diesel-cars-from-2030-and-supporting-the-zev-transition The so-called “industrial research” does not come from the automotive industry at all, but from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU). To be more precise, this department should be called the “Disinformation Unit”. The link given takes us to their analysis. ECIU analysis clearly shows that their petrol costs are based on petrol prices, including fuel duty and VAT: A typical comparison is Zoe vs. Clio: But…
