from climaterealism Author: Linny Luken The Guardian recently published a post titled “For the first time, the US lists fireflies as endangered, and firefly species could be eclipsed,” claiming that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is considering listing a species native to the northeastern United States Some firefly species are listed as endangered because of climate change.

From the Daily Skeptic Author: Nick Rendell ‘The surprising thing is not how well or poorly the dog plays the piano, but that it plays it at all!’ Dr Johnson may well have applied this adage to Rachel Reeves’ cancellation of pensioner’s winter fuel On allowances. However, in this case, it is shocking that the allowance was withdrawn and So much so that it was handled so poorly. Generally speaking, I have no problem with anything that removes the state from people's lives. However, the “visual impact” of the announcement was shocking. Why doesn't it end with a series of…

Convince the 1,800-mile-wide upper trough covering the Gulf of Alaska to move toward the coast, deepening the ocean and bringing cooling. ETA: Monday evening. 3. Pleading for the massive winter storm hitting Canada to move a little further south, pushing the North Pacific high pressure and its northwest winds toward the San…

Roger Kayaza Countless articles and opinion pieces in the popular media conflate every extreme weather event with climate change, feeding the basis of an emotionally driven narrative that climate change poses an existential threat. Remember, climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. This article describes how vendors mistakenly translate the extreme weather damage caused by rare weather patterns that stall storms into an example of climate change exacerbation when hurricanes occur in Hurricane Alley during hurricane season. good energy hype I was prompted to write this article when I saw an opinion piece in the Los Angeles…

Wallace Manheimer Who can develop reliable, cheap, clean electricity? In baseball parlance, the Americans took the lead with their first home run. It invented, developed and perfected the first ultra-supercritical (USC) coal-fired power plant. The 600-megawatt (MW) John W. Turk Jr. coal-fired power plant in Arkansas came online in 2012 and incorporates new technologies, most notably metallurgical advances that allow pipes and boilers to operate at extremely high temperatures and operate under pressure for long periods of time. Higher temperatures allow for 40% efficiency, rather than the more common 33%. Furthermore, Turkey has the best pollution control measures and its…
