In a flurry of activity, President Trump began his second term by signing a series of executive orders aimed precisely at dismantling what I call the “climate industrial complex.” [emphasis, links added] The flurry of actions is reminiscent of his first term, which was marked by bold, often polarizing decisions, but this time the focus is laser-sharp: Free U.S. energy and science policy from the constraints of bureaucratic overreach and ideological orthodoxy. Trump's use of executive orders has been unapologetically direct compared with his predecessors, including President Joe Biden. While Biden uses executive action to accelerate climate regulation and embed…
WUWT exclusive Amid the deluge of news on X covering the series of executive orders, firings, and policy changes from Trump’s team, I noticed one small thing that wasn’t being reported. Monday morning. We create opportunities for NASA's Indigenous people to realize their diverse worldviews in the Earth sciences. Because earth science needs shamans and medicine bags. Another excerpt, emphasis mine. build relationships Aboriginal advocacy connects, cultivates and sustains relationships. Our team focuses on engagement, dialogue and two-way learning, through connecting with natural resource managers and community members at conferences and meetings, through co-hosting community events involving youth and seniors,…
Doomsday predictions of global warming have long been a popular, quasi-religious part of 21st-century liberalism. But some California Democrats will insist on treating climate change as a matter of political survival in the wake of recent wildfires that devastated the state. [emphasis, links added] The monumental incompetence displayed by Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass during the crisis goes beyond just bad visuals and some excruciatingly embarrassing moments from two career politicians. It also creates the possibility that even in a one-party state dominated by Democrats, they could be held accountable for a severe lack of leadership…
Recently, a series of mainstream news media, including USA Today, AP News, bbc futureand fast companyA large number of articles claim that the record cold and heavy snowfall across the United States in January 2025 is more or less caused by climate change, or at least this connection cannot be ruled out. [emphasis, links added] This is wrong. Their argument hinges on the increasingly popular but scientifically dubious idea that climate change is disrupting the polar vortexcausing cold Arctic air to move southward into mid-latitude regions such as the United States. While this explanation neatly wraps up the narrative that…
from masterresource By Robert Bradley Jr. — January 22, 2025 “Many full-time climate activists like Mark Trexler need to be actual work The private sector produces goods and services that people want, rather than participating in a redistribution of wealth and a net loss of resources. A huge change is coming to us…” Mark Trexler of the (alarmist) Climate Risk Red Team (see appendix below) compiled a list of Trump-related action items for a consumer-first, America-first climate and energy policy. Trexler, who is worried about Trump, posted this helpful list that can now be compared to the executive orders Trump…
Shocking details have been released of a bill giving the government unprecedented powers to pursue net zero emissions and other ecological targets. [emphasis, links added] “Climate and Nature Bill”There will be a second reading on Friday, would legally bind the UK government and energy secretary to deliver net zero emissions and a host of other green targetssome people describe it as “national self-harm.” The legislation, led by Lib Dem MP Roz Savage, will provide legal protection for Labor to rigorously pursue climate targets. Critics say it risks eroding personal freedoms under the guise of solving the climate crisis and could…

Even after his death, former President Jimmy Carter continues to leave a legacy of his public service. In the face of Trump's renewed swift action to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement, his example empowers us to rise to the challenge and persist in climate action. As he lay in state in Plains, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C., Americans learned anew two important lessons from Jimmy Carter through the many tellings of his life story. First, we know from his presidency—particularly from the solar hot water panels he installed on the roof of the White House that Ronald Reagan…
Transcript: Three years ago, Nicole Kelner was working at a climate tech company and feeling burned out. To relax, she challenged herself to paint a watercolor every day for 100 days. Kellner: “They were originally just relaxing activities after get off work, but it turned into my paintings about solutions to climate change.” When she shared her paintings online, they quickly went viral. Four months after picking up a paintbrush, Kellner quit his job to create climate art full-time. Many of her paintings help explain climate solutions. She drew diagrams of how a geothermal heat pump works, created posters of…
not many people know Paul Homewood h/t Philip Bratby In 2020, the World Bank released a report on the potential of solar energy: https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/energy/publication/solar-photovoltaic-power-potential-by-country This is a fairly detailed analysis that takes into account not only sunlight itself, but also the effects of air temperature, terrain horizon and albedo, as well as module tilt, configuration, shadows,contamination and other factors that affect system performance. It is measured like this: PVOUT is the long-term energy production per unit of photovoltaic installation capacity (specific energy production), measured in kilowatt-hours per installation peak (kWh/kWp). Global map showing actual solar potential after excluding physical, environmental…
