As alarmist as the Middle Ages… Researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research PIK are among the world leaders of the Church of Global Warming and are responsible for various genre fantasies such as “Tipping Point”. [emphasis, links added] European Climate and Energy Research Institute (Translated by Pierre Gosselin) The most important is meteorologist Stefan Rahmstorf, known for his activism since the 2000s [more here]rarely missing an opportunity to spread disastrous news that can be easily refuted. His statement in 2019 that “we are losing control of the climate system” is legendary. When will humans be able to…
Wind turbine blades continue to cause pollution problems for those around them. [emphasis, links added] An eastern Iowa farm's 240 acres are strewn with dust and debris from broken wind turbine blades that the wind farm owners say they won't clean up. According to Steve Weitz and Theresa Weitz communiquéagreed to an easement in 2012 allowing Acciona Wind Power to install two turbines on the family farm near Mechanicsville, Iowa. Both turbines have been struck by lightning in the past 18 months, including one twice. The last time this happened was on August 15. A neighbor called his family early…
from climate etc. Author: Frank Boss Neither trend analysis nor model observation comparisons support the conclusions of the attribution study, which found: “Combined changes are twice as likely and 7% more intense due to human-induced climate change”. Starting on September 11, heavy rainfall occurred in parts of Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic. The first assessment noted widespread record rainfall due to a “Vb weather condition,” named after the historical classification of the direction tracked by a European low pressure field. In Vb weather conditions, the low pressure area moves to the Mediterranean and then northeast, usually ending in the…
Many landowners in rural areas of the southeastern United States have farmed their land for decades. But as they age and worry about their family's future, some people feel the financial need to sell some of their land—perhaps to someone willing to develop it. Now, the American Forest Foundation is giving some farmers another option—planting trees. Tomcho: “They were used to farming the land, and trees could be considered a crop.” Aimee Tomcho is involved with the foundation’s Fields to Forests program. It pays landowners in Georgia to convert at least 40 acres into forests planted with loblolly pine, a…
In the American West, small cages adorn towering whitebark pines and punctuate high-elevation landscapes. These cages are placed around the pine cones to protect their increasingly precious contents: the seeds. The survival of slow-growing whitebark pines is threatened by a range of pressures: an invasive fungus called vesicular rust, a hungry beetle, and increasingly severe wildfires in a landscape made dry by human-made climate change. Blister rust was introduced to the United States from Asia around 1900. In pine trees, it first causes yellow or red spots on the needles, followed by cankers, branch swelling, and death. Some foresters believe…
go through: professor. David Ferreira Recently, a colleague pointed out that in the subtropics of the Northern Hemisphere, the wind direction is around 30-40N (jet stream) and the westerly wind is 20-10N (trade wind). These winds make the ocean rotate clockwise. This is similar to thinking of the ocean as a solid plate rotating on an axis: if someone pushes the plate in one direction on one side and the opposite direction on the other side, the plate will rotate. Figure 1: Observed mean ocean topography estimated from a combination of satellite measurements and ocean drifters from Maximenko et al.…
not many people know Paul Homewood We all knew this was going to happen, but the green blob turned a blind eye: It’s a warning Ed Miliband doesn’t want to hear. Energy giant EDF has discussed plans to close four of the UK's five remaining nuclear power stations just days after the energy secretary pledged at Labour's annual conference to deliver low-carbon electricity for all. Currently, two of them are scheduled to close in 2026 and the other two in 2028. “They can't go on forever,” said Rachael Glaeving, commercial director of EDF's UK operations. “Extension of the life of…

The Lake Placid Solar Farm, located in Highland County, Florida, sustained damage during Hurricane Milton. The facility opened in December 2019 and has a generating capacity of 45 megawatts, enough to power more than 12,000 homes during peak production periods. https://news.duke-energy.com/file/dji-20241010111433-0006-w?action= Looks like tornado damage but can't find any news reports about it~cr. 5 10 vote Article rating Like this:like loading… Relevant Source link
From Climate Warehouse Mark Morano https://www.politico.com/news/2024/10/11/hurricanes-republicans-climate-change-no-change-in-position-00183439 Emma Duman Two major hurricanes hitting the same region of the United States within weeks of each other have done little to bolster support among a majority of congressional Republicans for tougher action on climate change. After Hurricanes Helen and Milton devastated swathes of the Southwest and continued to highlight the limitations of federal disaster relief funding, Republicans overall remain unprepared to change the way they respond to and respond to natural disasters, research shows. growing up. Their reasons range from questioning the science to offering different solutions than what advocates and other experts…
