result [the 2024] The election was an earthquake. Polls and experts alike predict a close race that will be decided by a handful of votes in a handful of states. [emphasis, links added] Instead, Donald Trump whipped Kamala Harris. He won the popular election by nearly 5 million votes and defeated her in the Electoral College. … While this campaign touches on many things, one issue has always been lurking: climate policy. The results clearly show Democrats are deeply out of touch with mainstream voters on energy and climate policy. But the national results are only one aspect of voters’…
Typically, Northern Air wind events, such as today's one and Friday's peak, are triggered by high pressure moving into the Great Basin Four Corners region. Looking at this image, you can see that today's high pressure is actually quite far to the north, and the northerly winds blowing from the high pressure into the Sea of Cortez are very weak. So why is there a strong north wind? Looking at the bottom of the image, note the large area of low pressure south of Cabo and how it accelerates wind speeds. Typically, low pressure is much weaker in this area,…
Guest “Someone called he threw him” David Middleton ‘We need to prepare for the new world’: Global scientists react to Trump’s election Trump’s decisive defeat against Kamala Harris has raised concerns among many researchers about the future of the United States. Scientists around the world expressed disappointment and shock when Republican Donald Trump won the final votes needed to secure the US presidency in the early hours of November 6. Many are now bracing for four years of attacks on scientists inside and outside government because of Trump's anti-science rhetoric and actions during his final term in office. Nobel laureate…
A UK government agency has been found to have falsified weather data from more than 100 non-existent weather stations to promote a climate change narrative and net-zero agenda driven by globalist interests. [emphasis, links added] Shockingly, These fabricated data found their way into climate models used by leading institutions around the worldinfluencing the United Nations and other global organizations in shaping climate policy and promoting alarmist narratives. After numerous Freedom of Information (FOI) requests to the Met Office and diligent field visits to various weather stations, investigator Ray Sanders discovered that, 103 of the 302 sites that provided temperature averages…

From the Daily Caller Nick PopeContributor Voters in Berkeley, California, resoundingly rejected a proposal that would have required owners of certain large buildings to pay a fee to use natural gas. Measure GG would require owners of multifamily or commercial buildings larger than 15,000 square feet to pay to use natural gas. The measure failed, with 68.25% of voters opposing it, according to Alameda County election data. Environmentalists and unions advocated for “Measure GG” on the grounds that reducing emissions from buildings is crucial to fighting climate change, while opponents derided it, in part because they viewed the proposal as…
A November 4 Bloomberg article titled “Extreme rainfall becoming more frequent and deadly” reported on recent flooding in Valencia, suggesting that climate change is producing more extreme rainfall events that are now more deadly than before . This is wrong. [emphasis, links added] The data proves that Bloomberg’s claims don’t stand up to fact-checking, as floods have not become more frequent or severe. First, it is important to distinguish between weather and climate. While extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall are a natural part of weather patterns, they are often wrongly attributed to climate change without actual evidence. as…
When we think about solving the problem of climate change, oil's dominance of our economy sometimes seems unbearable. But what if the production of oil and methane gas (commonly known as natural gas) is no longer as dominant as it once was? Despite recent record profits, the industry is forecasting weak underlying growth, which has broad implications for investors, not just those of us who care about addressing climate change. Fossil fuel energy performance review (Image source: spglobal.com) The chart above shows the 10-year returns for the energy industry (which consists primarily of oil and methane gas) through October 31,…
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a ship…it's…what is that? Thalheimer: “A sea glider is an all-electric, battery-powered craft.” Billy Thalheimer is co-founder and CEO of Regent, a company developing a 12-passenger sea glider called the Viceroy. It looks similar to an airplane. But when operating, it began to float on its hull like a boat. It rises onto a hydrofoil – a wing-like structure that lifts it slightly above the water. Then in open water, it takes off and cruises on a cushion of air near the water's surface. Thalheimer: “This is the cushion of air that birds…
From the Daily Skeptic Author: Paul Homewood The Labor manifesto promises we will have a zero-carbon electricity system by 2030. One of the “Five Missions” policy commitments the UK launched last year. So it's reasonable to assume that Miliband actually has a detailed plan on how to achieve this and how much it might all cost. Astonishingly, soon after taking office, he asked the national energy system operator NESO to provide practical advice on how to achieve his goals. NESO has now responded with some bad news. Many energy experts have long argued that a zero-carbon grid is simply impossible…
