Let’s get one thing straight: the recent flooding in Valencia, Spain, has nothing to do with climate change and everything to do with neglect of infrastructure needs and poor urban planning. [emphasis, links added] It’s almost laughable how quickly politicians and the mainstream media (MSM) have labeled this a “climate-induced catastrophe”. But look closer and you'll see that these floods are not only predictable, they're preventable. what happened in valencia Just yesterday, Valencia was hit by heavy rainfall, causing severe flooding in parts of the city.

this [Biden-Harris] The government will allocate $3 billion to update and electrify port infrastructure across the United States, which it says will translate into cleaner equipment, cleaner air and thousands of new port jobs.

A report published on Monday by Oxfam claimed that “carbon inequality” – meaning “the emissions of the world’s super-rich 1%” – is “causing economic losses of trillions of dollars, contributing to huge crop losses, and leading to millions of excess Death toll.” [emphasis, links added] “As global temperatures continue to rise, the lives and livelihoods of people living in poverty and instability are at risk, We must act now to curb emissions from the super-rich and make wealthy polluters pay,” declared Oxfam. The title of the report is Carbon inequality kills: Why limiting excess emissions from an elite few can…

Editor’s note: The following ten questions were compiled by Chris Martz posted on his Twitter (X). As we often point out climate realismthe media is incompetent even when it comes to basic science, they will never be able to answer these basic climate questions. If they could, we would see balanced and accurate writing about climate issues, rather than the usual doom-filled scare stories we see almost every day about a non-existent “climate crisis.” Guest Tweet by Chris Martz Here are 10 basic questions climate alarmists never answer. ➊ You claim that the earth is overheating. Said it was “too…

A team of 14 climate scientists warned in the State of the Climate Report 2024: A Dangerous Time for the Planet that the Earth's climate in 2024 “will be in a major crisis and will get worse if we continue with business as usual” . The report does not sugarcoat their view of the dangers facing humanity. “We are on the brink of an irreversible climate catastrophe,” the report begins. “There is no question that this is a global emergency. Much of the fabric of life on Earth is threatened. We are entering a climate crisis. a critical and unpredictable…

Nothing says fall like biting into an apple fresh from the tree. But hot weather can damage growing fruit. Some varieties will turn brown and blister on the tree. Others drop prematurely before ripening. Decades ago, Chris Walsh—now a professor emeritus at the University of Maryland—began studying and cultivating apples in his region. Walsh: “I realized that the new apple varieties we were testing locally couldn’t handle the heat.” So he set out to breed apples that could do just that. Recently, his team patented two varieties – one red and one yellow. So far, they are only known as…
