Kip Hansen's News Brief – January 16, 2024 – 1100 words/5 minutes Melting Antarctic glaciers have been an ongoing scientific controversy for more than a decade. Oddly, both warring parties are in the same U.S. federal agency. This battle involves a paper battle between NASA's GRACE Ice Mass team and H. Jay Zwally and his team. Here's the background: Current NASA Earth Vital Signs webpage [NASA’s climate crisis propaganda section] for Ice Sheets boldly conveys this message in the top third of the page: In 2021, I am Antarctic Ice—Alternative Sources, It contains these two comparison images (but not together):…

The confirmation hearings between Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Treasury secretary nominee Scott Bessant highlighted the stark contrast between Democratic and Republican energy policies. [emphasis, links added] Wyden pressed Bessent on Republican efforts to undo parts of Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), particularly those involving clean energy. Since Republicans hold majorities in both houses of Congress, House Speaker Mike Johnson has pledged to target a Green New Deal by speeding up drilling permits, eliminating electric vehicle (EV) mandates and eliminating tax credits for solar panels, electric vehicles, wind turbines and clean energy manufacturing. Wyden claimed that the United States…

from the depth of energy Mandy Risko Frank Sinatra said that if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. Well, when it's repeatedly made clear that you just cannot Is it successful in New York? This question is one that the climate litigation movement is grappling with today. The nationally coordinated climate litigation movement suffered another demoralizing defeat — and a poignant moment of deja vu — as New York City's lawsuit against U.S. energy producers was dismissed yesterday (for the second time). The New York State Supreme Court ruling firmly rejects the city’s claims…

The Eaton Fire killed 16 people directly, making it the fifth deadliest wildfire in California, while the Palisades Fire killed eight people and was the state's 14th deadliest wildfire. Figure 1. The Eaton Fire and the Palisades Fire both rank on the list of deadliest fires recorded in California.

Many mainstream media uncritically echoed the statement that 2024 is the “hottest year on record.” For example, CNN reported with the title “2024 Confirmed as the Hottest Year on Record Globally” and the BBC reported with the headline Claim: “2024 confirmed as hottest year on record.” When these media reports are examined within the long-term historical context of available global temperature data, it is clear: These claims lack the certainty claimed by the headlines and are likely to be false or exaggerated. Close inspection reveals that such claims are largely based on data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (CCCS),…

Temperatures will be milder across much of the United States on Thursday, but the warm-up will be short-lived as a polar vortex will drop temperatures below freezing in much of the country starting this weekend.

Enjoy it while it's here, though, because it's about to get freezing cold. How cold is it? The high temperature in Minneapolis on Thursday is expected to be about…

From the Economic Library Robert Bradley Jimmy Carter's tenure as President of the United States (1977-1981) included significant deregulation of airlines, motor carriers, and railroads. Other advances have been made in communications, tax policy and regulatory budgets. But the “Great Deregulator” took a radically different approach to energy, which (along with inflation) defined his economic notoriety. Carter began deregulating oil and natural gas wellheads but imposed a windfall tax on crude oil and imposed in-state regulations on natural gas. Carter's basic way of thinking was oriented toward federal supply and demand planning, as outlined in national energy plan 1977. what…
