From the Daily Skeptic Chris Morrison If there was an award for the year's worst fact-checking, it would be France's latest attempt AFP (AFP) Smear daily skeptic Will be the clear favorite to win. Question the reporting of one of our recently published papers nature AFP writer Manon Jacob found that there has been no “surge” in global temperatures since 1970, calling this article purely a random selection based on what other commentators have written on social media. “Misleading” article. So-called fact-checking is so bad it will likely be used in future journalism schools as an example of how not…

October 23, 2024 For more than two decades, climate alarmism and the related causes of the energy transition have given their followers a powerful advantage in American politics. To this extent, supporters of these causes have an equally strong, if not stronger, advantage in the politics of all economically developed countries, whether in the EU, Canada, Australia and others. Historically, few politicians in the United States—even those who claimed to generally advocate smaller government or less regulation—were willing to directly oppose claims of a “climate crisis” or demands to reduce “carbon emissions.” Or achieve a “net-zero” energy economy through government…
Steve Gorham A version of this article was recently published in wall street journal. Alternative energy is exploding—quite literally. Lithium battery fires occur frequently on highways, factories, home garages and storage rooms. The increase in battery fires is further exacerbated by government mandates for electric vehicles and grid-scale batteries to generate electricity. Lithium batteries have high energy density and are valuable for cell phones and portable appliances. But when they catch fire, these batteries can burn due to high heat and may even explode. This is why airlines ban lithium batteries in checked luggage. On June 24, a fire broke…
With less than a week to go until a clear and dry October 2024, data going back to 1895 shows, October 2024 could become the second driest month on record in the contiguous United States, and some areas could experience The first completely dry month. However, this October is a heavenly time for leaf watchers, comet hunters, crop harvesters and football game watchers, but it may also be a harbinger of potential hydrological problems ahead. The U.S. Drought Monitor Weekly, released on Thursday, October 24, shows that 79.33% of the contiguous United States (the “lower 48” states) is experiencing abnormal…
Forty-five Republican lawmakers are demanding answers from the Energy Department after a government watchdog group accused it of covering up a critical study that could interfere with one of the Biden-Harris administration's most serious attacks on fossil fuels. [emphasis, links added] Lawmakers wrote to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Thursday in response to the regulators' allegations: Her agency conducted or drafted a study on the emissions impacts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports in 2023, then was quietly buried The agency suspended approval of certain LNG export terminals in January as it required such reviews. The watchdog agency that made…
From Dr. Roy Spencer's Global Warming Blog Author: Dr. Roy W. Spencer Our paper (co-authored by John Christy and Danny Braswell) on calculating the urban heat island effect as a function of population density (PD) is now in the final stages of review after a third round of edits, and I'm hoping it will be published soon Accepted for publication. So far, I have only used Tavg data (average of daily maximum and minimum temperatures) when developing and testing this method, and this article has only used continuous US summer data (June, July, August), which That's what I'm going to…
Britain was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution and is now the world leader in deindustrialization. The power stations, refineries and steel plants that helped make Britain rich are now closing and being relocated abroad. [emphasis, links added] High energy prices are weakening the industry and hurting households. Yet politicians are doubling down on the policies that got us to where we are today. They say reducing carbon emissions must become a national priority. Clearly, we need to embrace a net zero future, no matter the cost to our economy. Businessman and venture capitalist Jon Moynihan is a fierce opponent…
heartland institute The world seems to be nervously awaiting the results of the presidential election just 10 days away – and perhaps no group is more important than the global climate cabal. Climate and energy policy are topics rarely mentioned in campaigns and debates. But voters will decide in November whether the United States will continue to spend billions to become a “leader” in global climate action plans, or whether it will break free from this scam entirely…perhaps forever. On Episode 132 of The Climate Realism Show, our guest is Steve Milloy, publisher of Junkscience.com, senior fellow at the Energy…
Agriculture has always been affected by weather, but climate change is dramatically exacerbating this dependence. British farmers are facing unprecedented disruption, from record rainfall and erratic seasons to more frequent droughts. These climate extremes are not only reshaping the growing cycle but also posing a serious threat to the country's food security. Recent weather events illustrate this shift. The UK has become increasingly wetter over the past few decades, with the wettest 18 months on record between October 2022 and March 2024, with 1,696mm of rainfall falling across England. The flooding inundated fields and waterlogged soil, severely damaging crops: vegetable…
