When they get upset that propaganda no longer works, you just have to laugh.“Search searches for wildfires are up 2,400%. The most ever. Looking for climate change? Down 9%. Searches for climate change are not increasing in California. “Americans don’t connect wildfires to climate change.” Oh, humanity! Watch the video: h/t Libs of Tiktok and Linnea Lueken.

recent reports Politico and The Guardian To make a now-familiar but false claim: California’s wildfires, particularly the devastating events around Los Angeles, are evidence that the “climate crisis” is accelerating. [emphasis, links added] The claims in these stories are false. The data does not show the wildfires are getting worse. These stories rely on oversimplified, compelling narratives that place blame on climate change without examining other key variables. also, They continue to make the fundamental mistake of conflating weather events with long-term climate change. California's topography has evolved with fire over thousands of years. Long before industrialization, periodic wildfires swept…

recent reports Politico and The Guardian To make a now-familiar but false claim: California’s wildfires, particularly the devastating events around Los Angeles, are evidence that the “climate crisis” is accelerating. The claims in these stories are false. The data does not show the wildfires are getting worse. These stories rely on oversimplified, attention-grabbing narratives that place blame on climate change without examining other key variables. Furthermore, they still make the fundamental mistake of conflating weather events with long-term climate change. California's topography has evolved with fire over thousands of years. Long before industrialization, periodic wildfires swept through these ecosystems, clearing…

Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., claimed that the Los Angeles fires were the result of a climate change “catastrophe” caused by President-elect Donald Trump's embrace of “Big Oil,” resulting in “more deaths.” [emphasis, links added] “Trump has been bought by Big Oil for $1 billion. Just pay for killing the IRA and the Green New Deal. We know what's coming. More fires, more climate disaster, more deaths. The LA fires are A preview of the atrocities to come,” Markey wrote on X on Saturday: Trump was bought by oil giants for $1 billion. Just payback for killing the IRA and the…

Nearly 13 years after their legal battle began, Penn State climate scientist Michael Mann must pay more than $500,000 in legal fees to National Review. [emphasis, links added] In 2012, Mann sued National Review for the first time after Canadian conservative commentator Mark Stein published an article criticizing Mann on the National Review website. National Review editor Rich Lowry later published a follow-up article defending Steyn's criticism, and Mann chose to sue the outlet for defamation. This week, a Washington, D.C., judge ruled that Mann must pay the outlet nearly $531,000 within 30 days to cover some of the outlet's…

Prolonged periods of hot weather and drought create ideal conditions for difficult-to-fight forest fires. [emphasis, links added] Although climate models predict that such weather conditions as a result of human-caused global warming will increase the incidence of wildfires, the recent wildfires cannot be entirely — or even primarily — blamed on global warming: The weather conditions that cause forest fires have existed for thousands of years due to naturally occurring climate cycles. For example, research shows Over the past 3,000 years, the American West has experienced severe fires in the 1800s and the Medieval Warm Period (950-1250 AD)and Some of…

From Manhattan Contrarian Francis Menton Less than three weeks ago, on December 23, I noted in an optimistic article about the possible demise of the green energy fantasy that two of the largest U.S. banks had just withdrawn from a group called the Net Zero Banking Alliance. The two companies are Goldman Sachs and Wells Fargo. These two banks, along with many others, including all the largest banks, have joined the NZBA since it was formed in 2021 with the support of the United Nations. I will save the planet by depleting all investment capital in hydrocarbons while redirecting the…

According to annual statistics just released by Munich Re, global catastrophic losses due to weather events will reach US$298 billion in 2024. Munich Re blamed the losses on – what else – climate change, dramatically declaring that “climate change is showing its claws” and “climate change is taking off its gloves”. [emphasis, links added] Munich Re's attribution assertion contrasts with its biggest rival Swiss Re's description of 2024 loss totals, which cites economic developments as the “main driver” of higher loss totals: “Economic development remains the main driver of the decades-long increase in insured losses from floods and other hazards.…

Transcript: In the Great Plains, black-tailed prairie dogs jump across the grass, dig huge burrows, and live in groups. Lindsey Sterling Krank of the Humane Society of the United States said prairie dogs are cute and important to the ecosystem. Many other species rely on them for prey and even live in their burrows. Sterling Krank: “There are eagles, burrowing owls, black-footed ferrets, even tiger salamanders.” But the prairie dogs are in trouble. Much of their habitat has been lost to agriculture, and the southern part of their range has become too dry. Sterling Krank and her colleagues recently analyzed…

from NoTricksZone Author: P. Gosselin How is Germany’s Green New Deal going? Not good at all. First of all, Germany has been in recession for almost two years – largely due to the policies of Economy Minister Robert Habeck (Green Party), who, by the way, has no education in economics, business or finance. This guy just doesn't know what he's doing. Second, German energy prices are among the most expensive in the world, and German electricity supplies are more unstable than ever. Germany is currently in the midst of a rapid deindustrialization chaos. Electric cars cannot be sold Blackout News…
