Guest post by Larry Hamlin NOAA published The global time series average temperature anomaly data updated in June 2024 shows that The Earth is experiencing a downward trend in monthly anomalies. This result marks the continued weakening of the natural climate of the recent El Niño event declared by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) to begin in July 2023. This latest The trend of El Niño events has increased influence Since the beginning, global average temperature anomalies have been politically manipulated by climate alarmists to claim that a global “climate emergency” is occurring, which is nothing more than politically orchestrated…

Mangroves are trees and shrubs that grow in dense groves along the edge of the ocean, often with tangled roots and branches that weave in the water. During storms, these roots and branches can help calm rough waves and reduce the risk of flooding damage inland areas. So as climate change creates more extreme weather, mangroves can help protect coastal communities from increasingly intense storms. Mangroves can also help reduce global warming. That's because mangroves grow quickly. As they grow, they absorb large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon in their roots, leaves and branches.…

The Chicago area could see another round of strong to severe storms on Monday as forecast models show an “enhanced” risk of severe weather across the region. The Storm Prediction Center has an “enhanced” risk level of three on the severe weather scale.

In addition, the National Weather Service said “heavy downpours” could cause flash flooding. The strongest storms are expected to occur in counties west…
From Polar Bear Science Susan Crockford Although sea ice experts predict that catastrophic declines could occur any year now, polar bear habitat in June, the last month of Arctic spring, remains within 2 standard deviations of the long-term average. Arctic sea ice cover retreated at a slower than average rate in June 2024, causing the total sea ice area during the month to be larger than in recent years. NSIDC, July 3, 2024 Oddly, the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) staff who wrote the June sea ice summary thought it appropriate to base the recently released prediction of…
Bloomberg recently published an article arguing that Hurricane Berrier and other natural disasters that regularly hit the state are symptoms of climate change and that Texas’ pro-fossil fuel policies are partly to blame. [emphasis, links added] Bloomberg’s article is wrong and is a classic example of blaming the victim (like Texas residents) for something 100% beyond their control: the weather. Beryl was not the first hurricane or tropical storm to hit Texassome media reports are just the opposite. Although climate warming is moderate, The data shows there are no worsening trends in hurricanes or other extreme weather events in Texas…
