Super Typhoon Manyi (known as Pepito in the Philippines) made landfall on Catanduanes Island in the Philippines at 9:40 pm local time on Saturday, November 16. The storm intensity was Category 5 and the wind speed was 160 mph. , with a central pressure of 921 mb, determined by the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC). Typhoons in November dealt an unprecedented blow to the Philippines. “Manyi” was the fourth typhoon to hit the country in less than 10 days. Four landing points: Typhoon Silver Star (Category 4): November 7 Typhoon Houzhi (Category 1): November 11 Super Typhoon Utu (Category 4):…

From the Daily Skeptic Chris Morrison Sea ice around Antarctica has “slowly increased” since continuous satellite records began in 1979, with any changes caused by natural climate variability. In a paper published earlier this year, four environmental scientists went further and argued that any indication that humans were responsible for any changes was “uncertain.” Of course, that’s not the case for the mainstream media, which has been ranting about Antarctica’s sea ice and promoting the fantasy of “net zero” for decades. Sea ice decreased last winter, resulting in financial times Science editor Clive Cookson exclaimed that the entire region “faces…

Author: Diana Fuchgot-Ross 29thth Participants at the Conference of the Parties (COP29) in Azerbaijan were filled with dire predictions: Under President-elect Trump, the world’s climate will get worse. But when Trump follows through on his campaign promise to increase U.S. oil and gas production and lifts President Biden's moratorium on new LNG exports, global emissions are likely to fall rather than rise. This is because U.S. natural gas exports typically displace coal, reducing global CO2 emissions2 emission. Even Germany, Europe's largest manufacturer, is using lignite (rather than less polluting bituminous coal) to address a shortage of renewable energy because it…

not many people know Paul Homewood Starmer has just confirmed at COP29 that the UK will officially target to reduce emissions by 81% by 2035 compared to 1990 levels. This is consistent with the CCC’s call last month that I analyze here. As I pointed out at the time, the emissions reductions achieved so far are low-hanging fruit, albeit expensive! But as time goes by, it gets harder and harder. Many non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions have been slashed, which means CO2 emissions must be slashed. We can build more wind farms, but there's no getting away from the fact that…

In a major move to reshape U.S. energy policy, President-elect Trump announced the establishment of the National Energy Council and appointed North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as chairman. The measure aims to simplify energy production and reduce regulatory hurdles, marking a departure from the approach of previous administrations. Burgum, who has also been nominated as interior minister, will hold a dual role in the government and will have a seat on the National Security Council. Trump said in a statement. “The committee will oversee the path to U.S. energy dominance by cutting red tape, increasing private sector investment in all…

From the Heartland Institute Author: H. Sterling Burnett Energy and Climate Overview: Canadian Edition Outlines why Trudeau's climate plan will cause economic hardship in Canada and will not take any measurable steps to improve the global climate. TORONTO (November 13, 2024) – Sensitive Climate Policy Canada and the Heartland Institute have published a new book called Energy and Climate Overview: Canadian Edition. The 88-page book is a timely rebuttal of Canada's push for “net-zero emissions,” outlining how the goal is unachievable before 2050, is scientifically unnecessary and will result in lower living standards for all Canadians. There are no obvious…

Over the past three decades, governments around the world have invested trillions of dollars in the “climate fight” (according to NOAA, a climate trend is defined as the accumulation of weather trends lasting at least 30 years). However, the allocation and use of these funds remains largely opaque, raising concerns about their effectiveness and accountability. In other words, no one knows where the money actually goes. At the same time, we have many very wealthy wind and solar companies that benefit hugely from taxpayer dollars at the expense of the environment. So it's surprising to see headlines like the one…

Article by Eric Worrell The real reason why Silicon Valley quietly quit the Democratic Party is that it quietly supports President Trump’s America First energy policy. Let's get straight to it. A neural network wants to learn how to drive. An explanation. Modern artificial neural networks usually start by generating a set of random neural networks. As you can imagine, a randomly generated neural network is unlikely to be a good solution to the problem. But occasionally, some randomly generated networks are slightly less bad than their brethren. These slightly less bad neural networks are used as guides for creating…

Laura Helmuth resigned as editor-in-chief of Scientific American on Thursday following her viral tirade against President-elect Donald Trump. He called his supporters “fascists” and “bigots” after his landslide election victory last week. [emphasis, links added] Scientific American is the oldest magazine in the United States, founded in 1845. Helmuth announced her resignation in a post on the left-wing social media platform Bluesky. She wrote: “After 4.5 exciting years as editor-in-chief, I have decided to leave Scientific American. I will take some time to think about what comes next (and go birding), but for now I want to share that I…
