from legal riots Americans are beginning to wake up to the reality of a “new green energy utopia”…which will apparently require more chemical reactions and fire reactions than initially promised. Posted by Leslie Eastman Another high-profile example of the dangers associated with lithium-ion batteries occurred during an explosion at a battery processing plant near Fredericktown, Missouri. The incident prompted a local evacuation. A fire broke out at a battery recycling plant near a southeastern Missouri town on Wednesday, forcing residents to evacuate their homes. Around 2 p.m., Madison County 911 representatives from the Sheriff's Office posted a message on Facebook…
from CFACT Craig Luck For decades, environmentalists have raised dubious but often successful objections to blockades of mines, pipelines, nuclear power and oil and gas operations. Now, as Shakespeare's Hamlet put it, they “were reaping the consequences,” referring to the small explosive devices used in siege warfare. Ironically, the legal and regulatory barriers that the Greens have erected and deployed against the fossil fuel companies they oppose are now exploding in their faces, impeding and impeding their beloved solar and wind projects. More poetically, “little guy” environmentalists often insist that they care deeply about who wields the weapons. Energy expert…
go through: Professor Andrew Charlton Perez As some of you may know, it’s an exciting time for climate education efforts lately, with universities increasingly becoming involved. work to get involved and hopefully get some of you excited to join the effort. Maybe even through our new It's time to make a change policy. Hopefully everyone in the department understands why this work is so important. For too long, education about climate change in schools has remained fragmented and inconsistent, despite the efforts of many excellent teachers. This is reflected in what young people say about climate education – check out…
From Manhattan Contrarian Francis Menton I pointed out in my post on October 23 that during this election cycle, “energy realism” has suddenly become a positive election issue for Republicans. The positive electoral effect comes from pointing out that a forced energy transition would increase costs for consumers, limit choice and destroy jobs. Examples cited include President Trump's use of Biden-Harris regulations restricting incendiary vehicles during a campaign event in Michigan, and his use of Harris' statement on banning fracking in Pennsylvania. But there is another approach to the energy realism theme, one that has been adopted by many Republican…
Predicted Jargon Decoder: November 3, 2024 BAJA human prediction begins!notes: Predict the last day of the season! Go to Baja! My goal every year is to end the season with a bang in the Windy City! Sadly, today is looking like a very depressing blast and calm day with northerly winds blowing across the Bay Area. At Ocean Buoy NW 25g31 and Pt. Reyes NW 29g34 Looks like a really great day,,, But while the North Pacific high pressure generates coastal winds above 20 degrees, it also pushes the high pressure ridge inland to our north, forming a very strong…
from climaterealism Author: Linny Luken Grist recently published an article titled “Authoritarianism is on the Rise.” Is climate change to blame? Claims that climate change is creating conditions, such as more severe storms, droughts and wildfires, that are leading to the rise of authoritarian governments around the world. From a scientific and historical perspective, this is stupid. The situations listed are not getting worse, so they do not lead to any rise in authoritarianism. Likewise, authoritarian governments existed long before modern warming began and are indeed more common. There are fewer unelected authoritarian rulers now than at any time in…
from NoTricksZone Author: P. Gosselin In a recent open letter, researchers warned that Arctic warming could lead to cold snaps across Northern Europe due to “complex feedback mechanisms.” According to Forschung & Wissen, an international group of prominent scientists recently published an open letter (PDF) stating that melting Arctic ice could disrupt Atlantic ocean currents, resulting in “devastating and irreversible effects, especially in northern Europe.” country” and also applies to other parts of the world. ” Source: Open letter from climate scientists to the Nordic Council of Ministers According to their article published in the October 2024 issue of Nature…
By James R. Riordon – NASA Goddard Space Flight Center The atmosphere over Antarctica continues to heal: The annual hole in the ozone layer over Earth's Antarctic in 2024 will be relatively small compared to other years. Scientists from NASA and NOAA predict that the ozone layer may fully recover by 2066. This map shows the size and shape of the ozone hole over Antarctica on September 28, 2024, the day NASA's Ozone Observation Team calculated its largest annual extent. Scientists describe an ozone “hole” as an area where ozone concentrations fall below the historical threshold of 220 Dobson units.NASA…
from”But science has it figured out!” department. You may remember that four days ago, WUWT published this story: Oops, the science was “settled”—until it wasn’t: Plants absorb 31% more carbon dioxide than we thought Now, on the heels of that, another underestimated amount of carbon dioxide uptake has been discovered: New research shows the ocean is absorbing more carbon dioxide than previously thought. The article states: New research confirms that lower ocean surface temperatures enhance carbon dioxide uptake, with the Atlantic absorbing 7% more carbon dioxide per year than previously estimated. … Scientists studied the “ocean epidermis” – a small…
Article by Eric Worrell A group of psychologists claim that fear drives deniers to reject the truth. But they ignore evidence from the academic community that hysteria is the real “climate crisis.” Is it time to panic?
