David Archibald One of the first things the new administration will do is issue a report saying global warming is nonsense. When Trump was last president, he met with Will Harper, a distinguished professor of physics at Princeton University, before the inauguration to launch the report. Unfortunately, the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, said Republican women will not take kindly to stopping global warming. So no report was issued, and good-hearted Professor Harper returned to Princeton. Global warming is still here thanks to Jared Kushner’s malign influence. Eight years have been lost. Not a single government on Earth has issued a…
Labour's target voters overwhelmingly support repealing expensive green policies such as the boiler ban, a survey has revealed. [emphasis, links added] Stonehaven polling has found that less than a third of those who left the party under Jeremy Corbyn have switched back over electoral support for a crackdown on domestic flights. Only 26% support a ban on gas boilers in new homes by 2025. The poll will provide a sobering reading for Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, the architect of Labour's green policies. However, 59% of respondents expressed support for accelerating the development of new nuclear power. Treasury was charged The…
heartland institute Climate change policies are often seen as a challenge to individual freedoms and choices, particularly when policies appear to impose severe constraints on individuals' lifestyle and economic choices. For example, regulations mandating the use of renewable energy or limiting the use of fossil fuels can feel like direct constraints on the American dream—the idea that through hard work, anyone can achieve prosperity and a higher standard of living. These policies sometimes require sacrifices that could impact businesses and workers in traditional energy industries and limit consumer choices in cars, appliances, home energy and travel. Additionally, many worry that…
It's November, the last month of the Atlantic hurricane season, and an active 2024 hurricane season looks set to produce a named storm named “Patty” in the western Caribbean in November. A widespread low-pressure system known as the Central American Gyre (CAG) is developing over Central America and the southwestern Caribbean, which will bring heavy rain to parts of Central America. Panama and Costa Rica are set to receive more than 10 inches (250 millimeters) of rain in the coming week, potentially triggering dangerous flash floods and landslides. The circulation also has the potential to generate tropical storms. Figure 1.…
Electric vehicles (EVs) are hailed as an environmentally friendly solution to the climate crisis, providing passengers with a smooth, emission-free ride. [emphasis, links added] But the electricity revolution – considered crucial to curbing carbon emissions – appears to have run its course. MailOnline's chart [below] revealed Global EV sales from the three top manufacturers have slumped in recent months as the public struggles to fall in love with the technology. Despite strong long-term growth momentum, quarterly sales of Elon Musk's Tesla electric cars fell from a peak of 484,500 units in the fourth quarter of 2023 to 386,800 units in…
It's November, the last month of the Atlantic hurricane season, and the active 2024 hurricane season appears to be about to kick off a November storm named “Patty” in the western Caribbean. A large low-pressure system known as the Central American Gyre (CAG) is developing over Central America and the southwestern Caribbean, which will bring heavy rain to parts of Central America. Panama and Costa Rica could receive more than 10 inches (250 millimeters) of rain in the coming week, potentially causing dangerous flash floods and mudslides. The circulation also has the potential to generate tropical storms. Figure 1. According…

Guest post by Larry Hamlin NOAA's forecast for the 2024 North Atlantic hurricane season is shown below. Now that the June-October period of the 2024 season has ended, only November remains, which historically has seen far fewer hurricanes and tropical storms occur each month. NOAA predicts an 85% chance of an “above normal” year (most people would say “above average,” but we live in the age of government-driven climate alarmist propaganda) 17 to 25 named storms occurred. Colorado State University North Atlantic statistics (shown below) derived from NHC “Optimum Operating Trajectories” Says there have been 15 named storms so far…
The summer of 2023 was one of the hottest on record in Europe. According to recent research by Elisa Gallo and her team at ISGlobal in Barcelona, Spain, heat has killed more than 47,000 people across the continent. Gallo: “The main countries affected by the heat are southern European countries, especially Spain, Portugal, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Italy and Greece.” She said the mass death toll could have been higher if societies and individuals had not taken steps to protect people and adapt to the heat over the past few decades. For example, the use of home air conditioning has increased, and…
not many people know Paul Homewood Grid companies now appear to be taking the risk of blackouts seriously this winter. I got this today: Simply using “bad weather” as an excuse is foolish. We experience severe weather every year and often experience brief power outages for a variety of reasons. They're just annoying, but nothing more. The TV and computer are turned off together. But the worst part was the alarm clock going off next door! But we don't get these well-coordinated warnings. But apparently these little things are not what Northern Power Grid has in mind. Instead, they seem…
