Excerpted from “Legal Insurrection” Leslie Eastman Dear Dr. Song Xiang: I write to you, scientist to scientist, to address a long-standing problem with the American media and the scientific community. Los Angeles Times: Use less qualified authors to analyze important topics of scientific relevance. Maybe if you hired reporters who weren't climate fanatics and racists who wanted to “get Trump,” a major American city wouldn't have been burned to the ground…perhaps by arson by terrorists or foreign street gangs. A healthy country needs a healthy media… — Leslie Eastman ☥ (@Mutnodjmet) January 10, 2025 A great example is when social…
Article by Eric Worrell Another nail in the coffin of climate models? A study published in the journal Nature found no evidence that the AMOC has declined over the past 60 years. AMOC study: Critical ocean currents have not decreased over the past 60 years … In the Atlantic, a system of interconnected ocean currents – the AMOC – transports water to oceans around the world, driven by a combination of wind and ocean density. Not only does it distribute heat, water and nutrients to the ocean, it also regulates the Earth's climate and weather. As the climate continues to…
The climate policy landscape has shifted significantly in recent weeks, with agencies, governments and businesses beginning to back away from the ambitious but economically problematic climate commitments they made over the past decade. Two major developments highlighted this retreat: the Fed's withdrawal from the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors to Green the Financial System (NGFS) and BlackRock's withdrawal from its Net Zero Asset Management program (NZAM) and subsequent suspension of activities. These high-profile decisions, and similar initiatives around the world, demonstrate growing awareness of the economic damage caused by costly, ineffective and excessive climate policies. Fed: Not the climate…
From the Daily Skeptic Author: Dr. James Allen The religious mindset believes that there is more to life than the physical world of the senses. Some truths transcend the here and now. That which gives human existence non-accidental meaning. This is obvious for monotheistic religions and less obvious for Buddhist and polytheistic faiths. Nonetheless, the appeal of this belief in transcendent truth is quite obvious. This means that not everyone who rejects established religion turns to some kind of David Hume or Bertrand Russell-style skeptical view that what you see is what you get—we’re here because tens of thousands Accidental…

The 2024-25 winter monsoon season in Baja has been great so far, with moderate winds almost every day. But an expected factor in the large-scale wind energy recipe is missing. Yes, there is no expected La Niña in the Pacific weather pattern. Meteorologists have been anticipating La Niña for months, but last week the pattern finally took hold in the tropical Pacific, albeit a weak and short-lived one. A La Niña warning has been issued, with a 59% chance of lasting until April 2025. During La Niña events, the subtropical jet stream typically moves northward, resulting in fewer deadly windy…

from CFACT Collister Johnson In recent years, the argument that carbon dioxide is a “pollutant” has been at the heart of climate public policy in developed countries. The demonization of carbon dioxide affects nearly every aspect of modern Western civilization. It condemns the burning of fossil fuels for electricity generation, the use of internal combustion engines for transportation, and the use of carbon fuels in nearly everything that supports modern civilization—even washing machines and kitchen stoves that are deemed acceptable. It forms the basis for the most absurd of all alarmist absurdities – “the social cost of carbon.” The theory…

It looks like ExxonMobil has finally had enough of California’s environmental clowning. In a move of epic proportions, ExxonMobil filed a defamation lawsuit against California Attorney General Rob Bonta and his activist associates, including the Sierra Club and other virtue organizations. Their crime? Their comments were allegedly baseless, self-serving and tarnished ExxonMobil's reputation. Let's set the stage. Bonta has been an aspiring political showman who has targeted Exxon Mobil and other oil companies for years. In 2022, he subpoenaed ExxonMobil as part of a fight against what he called the “global plastic crisis.” By 2024, he was upping the ante,…
