The YMCA is back and worse than ever. President-elect Donald Trump helped revive the 1978 disco icon. However, some members of the media are not taking to the dance floor, and the field of “fixed science” is trying to overshadow the cultural climate of the 1970s. [emphasis, links added] Today's popular narrative about climate change, which suggests that the public and scientists in the 1970s were not that concerned about the global cooling of that decade, can be classified as disinformation, or at least misinformation. In the mid-1970s, I was an undergraduate meteorology major at Penn State University, and even…
Bottom line: Weak northeasterly winds are possible in mountainous areas, along with strong northerly winds. If you're camping, it's best to pack your gear and pup and be prepared for strong winds before dawn tomorrow, especially near El Sagento.Monday style recipes: The wind reservoir is almost empty, so there are only weak hot northeast winds blowing into our coastal valleys, strongest in the La Ventana to Rasta Beach area. But tomorrow the wind gods are preparing a feast! Tuesday's weather forecast: Tonight, a 1,400-mile-wide Canadian high pressure moves southward, centered on the U.S. 4 Corners region, creating a huge pressure…
Temperatures are expected to plummet into the single digits Monday night after a snowfall to start the week. [Get the latest weathercast from FOX45 News ] The weather will remain cold for most of the week. As happened earlier this month, this latest cold snap comes from disruptions in the polar vortex, the ring of cold air that normally traps the Arctic. Monday – Martin Luther King Jr. Day – will be sunny but cold and windy, with highs in the mid-20s and overnight lows around 7 degrees. Wind chills can make nighttime temperatures feel like minus five degrees. The cold affected…
from CFACT Author: Dugan Flanakin Back in February 2022, the Biden-Harris administration announced its Critical Minerals Strategy, pledging to “expand domestic production in a timely manner!” but only if “our actions meet community engagement standards,” which include “responsible of “Social, Environmental and Labor Standards.” This allegedly pro-mining stance is the Democratic response to a Commerce Department report prepared in response to President Trump’s 2017 Executive Order 13817, “Federal Strategy to Ensure the Safe and Reliable Supply of Critical Minerals.” The report reveals the extent of the United States' dependence on hostile foreign governments for minerals designated as “critical” by the…
Wildfires near Los Angeles make Pacific Palisades look like Dresden after World War II bombing. More than 12,000 homes, schools and businesses have been burned, dozens have died, at least 70,000 people have been left homeless, and the fires are still raging. [emphasis, links added] AccuWeather estimates just two fires can cause $135-$150 in damage billion On property! It was a doubly terrible tragedy because most of the death and destruction could have been avoided. California has 33,000,000 acres of federal, state, and private forest lands, equivalent to the state of Wisconsin. As the state's population grew, forests and wildlife…
A recent report from the House Judiciary Committee details how America’s largest financial institutions colluded with climate activists to impose aggressive environmental policies on the U.S. economy and subvert our autonomy and free markets. [emphasis, links added] It highlights a successful effort to insert climate activist directors on the board of energy giant ExxonMobil. According to reports, There is “enormous evidence of a 'climate cartel' among financial institutions,” including 'Big Three' asset managers (BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard), Several large state pension funds, European investment firms, and two foreign proxy advisory firms that dominate the U.S. market. The cartel coordinates…
Climate change is a major factor contributing to the crisis in the property and casualty insurance sector. While rising property values and rebuilding costs also contribute, the impact of more frequent and intense extreme weather events is undeniable. From wildfires, larger hail, bigger winds, stronger hurricanes, heavy rains and snowstorms, to inland and coastal flooding, all these events are linked to global warming. As a result, insurance rates are rising, insurance coverage is becoming harder to obtain, reimbursements are becoming less frequent and more troublesome, mortgages are becoming harder to find and pay, and both individuals and companies are struggling…
Transcript: Moose are the giants of the boreal forest. But in some areas, they are threatened by tiny creatures called winter ticks. In the fall, tick larvae hide in bushes, waiting for animals such as moose to crawl up. By winter, some moose's bodies are covered in thousands of ticks that feed on their blood, said Steve Cote, a biologist at Université Laval in Quebec. Côté: “And it’s very itchy, so they scratch a lot on the trees and they lose their hair. … They don’t eat… They get weaker and weaker. For moose calves, tick infection can be fatal.…
From Manhattan Contrarian Francis Menton Energy from wind and sun – they are clean, green and free. Well, there is a small intermittent issue. But apparently the intermittency problem can be easily solved with a few batteries to store some power for the occasional calm night. Or is the solution really that simple? Regular readers here will know that I wrote an energy storage report called “The Energy Storage Conundrum,” published by GWPF in December 2022. Yes, the amount of storage required is so large, and the cost is so high, that energy storage is simply unfeasible as a way…
