For example, hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail have witnessed multiple fires this year. Some even had to evacuate. Chris Rylee is a member of the Pacific Crest Trail Association. Reilly: “There were some hikers here and there who were stuck in the evacuation and had to use safety gear to call in search and rescue support to get out.” He said it's crucial to find a way to keep up with emergency alerts while hiking.

From master resources Steve Gorham “Due to hail and other weather damage, insurance premiums for solar facilities have skyrocketed, rising as much as 400% in some cases. In addition, policy coverage is capped at $10-15 million, requiring system developers to obtain multiple policies to try to cover their project. Wind and solar's share of U.S. electricity generation has been growing over the past two decades. State and federal mandates and subsidies drive the expansion of renewable energy because of their inherent dilute and intermittent nature. But it’s clear that renewable energy faces a third blow: They are fragile and susceptible…

The UK is fully committed to achieving net zero emissions. This is the ratio of one of the pictures above. I think British politicians still think of themselves as a global power. Sorry, that ship has sailed. Meanwhile, our resident whistleblower and fact-finder Willis Eschenbach wrote a piece two weeks ago defining just how much of an impact the UK’s net-zero madness is having on global temperatures: Keir Starmer's climate madness For those of you who are not climate workers, the answer won’t surprise you.

There's been a lot of bad news lately for supporters of the climate agenda and net-zero policies. COP29, the United Nations' annual climate conference, has failed to live up to campaigners' ideals. [emphasis, links added] The United Nations admitted in October that no progress had been made towards net-zero emissions. In the United States, voters elected a president who blatantly calls climate change a hoax. Gabriella Hoffman, Director of the Energy and Conservation Center at the Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) Just news That Climate change is only a minor issue on voters' minds, while the state of the economy and…
Article by Eric Worrell Taking “model output is data” to a new level… Artificial intelligence reveals Europe’s hidden climate extremes Andre IonescuEarth.com Staff Writer … Traditionally, climate scientists have relied on statistical methods to interpret these data sets, but a recent breakthrough demonstrates the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize this process.

The study not only confirmed known climate trends but also revealed…

UK payers spent a 'ridiculous' £1 billion [$1.26bn] So far this year, wind turbines have been temporarily shut down as the grid struggles to cope with their power supply. [emphasis, links added] According to official data, about 6.6 gigawatt hours (GWh) of wind power will be “cut” in the first 11 months of 2024, up from 3.8 gigawatt hours (GWh) for all of last year. Browning is paying to have wind turbines shut down during strong winds to stop surges in electricity from overwhelming the grid. Households and businesses pay for the policy through their bills.
