Every fall, duck hunters wait for the birds to fly south and duck season begins. But some ducks are extending their summer vacation. Barbara Frei is a researcher at Environment and Climate Change Canada, a government agency. She found that as the climate warms, some waterfowl begin migrating along the Atlantic Flyway later in the fall and even spend the winter further north. Frey: “They're taking advantage of the warm weather. Why move if they don't have to? The change occurs among species that time their migrations based on temperature and precipitation signals rather than changes in day length, she…
From the Daily Skeptic Chris Morrison Consider the BBC's Justin Rowlatt sitting down to breakfast in Baku this morning, wondering how he would reverse the looming disaster of COP29, which started today and is now being ruined by Trump. In happier days, the thought of wasting billions on free handouts or ridiculous climate compensation warms his heart. In happier days, Western governments could pretend to be saving the planet by renewing foreign aid for so-called climate programs. Few people seem to take their climate obligations more seriously than the Belgians, who funded a romantic film about a green activist and…
From Climate Warehouse Mark Morano Climate Warehouse Note: This year I will be physically participating in the United Nations Climate Summit COP29 in Azerbaijan again. Morano will be in Baku during the week of November 10-15, following the United Nations’ efforts to suppress your freedoms and continue down the dark path of net-zero rationing of energy, food, freedom of movement and expression. This will be the 20th time in the past 22 times that I have attended the United Nations International Summit in person. Looking back at 2016: Morano shreds U.N. Paris Agreement at climate summit, U.N. armed security shuts…
From the Daily Caller Adam ParkerContributor President-elect Donald Trump has chosen former Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., to lead the Environmental Protection Agency, both confirmed on Monday. “It is an honor to join President Trump's Cabinet as EPA Administrator,” Zeldin wrote on X when the appointment was announced. “We will restore America’s energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry, bring American jobs, and make America a global leader in artificial intelligence. We will do so while protecting people’s access to clean air and water. (Related: Trump pledges to end Biden's electric vehicle mandate to help consumers, calls on UAW to ditch Democrats)…
From Dr. Roy Spencer's Global Warming Blog Author: Dr. Roy W. Spencer In Part 1, I claimed that using sites around Death Valley was a good way to “fact check” the warm season high temperatures (Tmax) of Death Valley sites, using elevation correction, since all surrounding sites are at higher temperatures (and therefore more cooler) altitude. Each July, a large tropospheric ridge of high pressure makes the air mass temperature in the region spatially uniform (at any given pressure altitude), and daily convective heating of the troposphere results in a fairly predictable temperature lapse rate (the rate at which temperature…
The global climate circus, officially known as the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29), is taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan, and the timing couldn't be better. Or worse – depending on your point of view. Donald Trump’s return to the White House has delivered a well-deserved kick in the teeth for the climate loyalists gathered. After all, nothing can ruin a good sermon about the salvation of the earth more than churchgoers who refuse to take the gospel seriously. Although COP29 delegates are eager to create “consensus”, the reality is clear: global climate policy has always been a house…
Critics of the offshore wind industry are calling on President-elect Trump to fulfill his campaign promise to end federal support for offshore wind on his first day in office. [emphasis, links added] If the Trump administration persists, Trump's return to the Oval Office could deal another blow to the troubled offshore wind industry. He pledges to remove federal support for offshore wind projects during his second term. Republican lawmakers who oppose heavy subsidies for green energy and commercial fishermen who see the industry as an existential threat to their livelihoods call for president-elect Fulfilling his campaign promises, that could mean…
After a record-breaking rainless spell, the greater Baltimore area finally saw some measurable rainfall. Rainfall amounts between one-tenth and half an inch were recorded across the state on Sunday, with the highest amounts in western Maryland, according to the National Weather Service.Throughout October, total precipitation in the Baltimore area was 0.36 inches, with the last measurable rainfall occurring on October 2. quantity.That drought broke the record set more than 60 years ago in October 1963, when the BWI Marshall Airport monitoring station went 32 days without rain.Maryland's average rainfall in October is 3.94 inches, according to the National Oceanic and…
Many media have published articles reporting on the report of the European Copernicus Climate Change Service (“Copernicus”). The report stated that 2024 will be the first time since the pre-industrial period that the temperature rise will exceed 1.5°C. The media said this will cause Unfathomable weather disasters. [emphasis, links added] This is mostly wrong. While average temperatures in 2024 are likely to be warmer than in recent decades, it’s not the end of the year yet, and Limited evidence supports the claim that these would represent the highest temperatures ever experienced by humans, and there is no evidence that the…
More than 50,000 people flew to oil-rich Baku, Azerbaijan, to attend the 29th United Nations Climate Conference Expected to actively push to limit carbon emissions Lead the proceedings side by side Asking rich industrial countries to pay “reparations” To the poorest people in the world. [emphasis, links added] One notable absentee was climate activist Greta Thunberg, who said she would not attend COP29 because the event was “greenwashing”. She said host country Azerbaijan “doesn't have the ambition to take climate action,” according to the BBC. Even without her presence, organizers have an ambitious agenda that not only hopes to limit…
