A reader asked us: Will climate change really shorten our lifespans significantly? I read that by 2030, humans may face extinction due to lack of water and temperatures will become unbearable.. We asked YCC Spanish writer Johani Ponce to answer this question. This is your answer. The Yale Center on Climate Change and Health stated that climate change is the greatest public health challenge of the 21st century and is closely related to life expectancy. The impacts of climate change on human health, both current and projected, will increase morbidity and mortality from heat waves, droughts, floods, forest fires and…

Last week, a row of executives from grain processing giant Archer Daniels Midland watched as 88-year-old Verlyn Rosenberger ascended the stage at a Decatur City Council meeting. Podium. It was the first meeting since she and other members of the central Illinois community learned of a second leak from the ADM carbon dioxide storage tank beneath Lake Decatur, their primary source of drinking water. “Just because carbon dioxide sequestration can be done doesn't mean it should be done,” the…
By HALLIE GOLDEN and LISA BAUMANN, The Associated PressSEATTLE (AP) — A massive storm has swept through the U.S. northwest, bringing strong winds and rain that caused widespread power outages, downed trees and killed at least one person.The Weather Prediction Center on Friday issued a risk for excess rainfall and a hurricane-force wind warning was in effect as California and the Pacific Northwest's strongest atmospheric river of the season – a flood of moisture – flooded the region. The storm system that began hitting Tuesday is considered a “bomb cyclone,” which occurs when a cyclone rapidly intensifies.Falling trees hit homes…
In July, the first all-electric conference center in the United States opened in Ithaca, New York. The 15,000-square-foot facility uses electric heat pumps for heating and cooling. Its chefs use induction cooktops, electric fryers and ovens to serve meals for up to 800 people. Jablonski: “One of the cornerstones of the electrification of the conference center is the creation of an all-electric kitchen.” Suzanne Smith Jablonski is with the Downtown Ithaca Local Development Corporation, the nonprofit organization that owns the Downtown Ithaca Convention Center. Ithaca's goal is to have all of the city's buildings run entirely on electricity by 2030,…

Press release from the Climate Intelligence Group (CLINTEL) The House of Representatives is in session Climate scientists have issued a shocking statement saying the “climate emergency” is over. The Prague Climate Conference, organized by the Czech branch of the International Climate Information Organization (Clintel), was held at the House of Representatives of the Czech Republic in Prague from November 12 to 13. The meeting “declared and confirmed that the imagined 'climate emergency' has ended.” The communiqué, drafted by prominent scientists and researchers who spoke at the conference, makes it clear that climate scientists have systematically exaggerated the impact of carbon…
From Cliff Mass Weather Blog cliff mass The latest satellite images show the offshore storm is developing rapidly. The visible satellite image around 9am is stunning, with low-level clouds swirling around the low center (orange arrow points to the low center). Amazing. This is an explosion of clouds around the low center. The cycle is obvious. Strong, fast-developing storms have not only an upward motion that produces clouds, but also a strong sinking motion that creates a “trough” of dry air blowing from the southeast. We can look at the “dry trough” using satellite images that reveal the amount of…
From Jennifer Marohasy's blog Jennifer Marohasi The Australian Institute of Marine Science (AIMS) released a media statement earlier today claiming scientifically documented changes in coral cover in the northern Great Barrier Reef, particularly around Lizard Island. Claims include: The coral losses we have documented so far are enormous. Despite these losses, most reefs still have moderate coral cover between 10% and 30%. In fact, the methods used to survey the corals cannot determine whether losses are statistically significant, and surveys only target the perimeter of the reef, specifically avoiding habitats with high coral cover, including the top of the reef.…
President-elect Trump has the opportunity to put national energy policy on a sound and reasonable basis. This will only be possible if the new government learns from past mistakes. [emphasis, links added] During his first term, Trump used a combination of executive orders and agency rulings to halt the regulatory assault on the energy industry that began under President Obama. Many of them have been challenged and struck down by liberal judges. The effect has been to hinder regulatory momentum rather than reverse it. During Trump’s term, the domestic coal industry further entered runoff mode. In 2021, the regulatory onslaught…
Oh look, The Guardian Here we go again, a hot dish of climate hysteria laced with precocious child activism. This time, they rescued a 17-year-old surfer from Brazil to teach us all at COP29 how the ocean is allegedly “warming.” Because, obviously, who needs thermometers, satellite data, or rigorous ocean temperature reconstructions when you have a preteen rowing on a foam board? As a surfer, I'm out in the ocean a lot, and I can definitely feel the ocean getting warmer.https://www.theguardian.com/environment/live/2024/nov/19/cop29-climate-summit-live-updates-world-leaders-in-baku-azerbaijan?CMP=share_btndf1086block-673c55e78f0866cddf1b7a15 Here's what happened: The child “noticed that the ocean was getting warmer,” the Guardian breathlessly reported. Wow, stop the…
