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…
from legal riots The U.S. Ocean Service report says wind turbine construction and offshore fishing can harm whales, dolphins, birds and bats. Posted by Leslie Eastman Joe Rogan's interview with President Donald Trump certainly covered a wide range of topics. While my colleague Mike LaChance was discussing this interview, I thought I'd chime in here since the podcast touches on the topic of whale deaths related to offshore wind farm construction. I noticed the large number of whale deaths recorded along the East Coast. New Jersey Republicans at one point called for a 60-day moratorium on planned offshore wind farms…
Guest post by Willis Eschenbach (@WEschenbach on eX-Twitter) Perspective is everything. The world's largest carbon dioxide capture plant has just come into operation in Iceland, built by a company called Climeworks. You can read about it on their website. Here is a description: “According to Climeworks estimates, Mammoth has the ability to capture an impressive 36,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year. To put that in perspective, that’s the equivalent of neutralizing the emissions of approximately 7,800 gasoline-powered cars. Sounds impressive, right? Is that equivalent to taking 7,800 cars off the road? Wow! However, back to the point of view,…
Rural and coastal little guys delay and block massive 'green' energy projects Paul Driessen Environmentalists insist they like “the little guys”. At least in the abstract, until these people get in the way, ask inconvenient questions, or try to block “renewable energy” projects aimed at “saving the planet” from “man-made climate catastrophe.” Then the little guys will learn that environmentalists are actually working with (and serving) Big Wind, Big Solar, Big Utilities, Big Finance, powerful politicians, and crony bureaucrats—the climate industrial complex. If it is blocked, farm families, small rural communities and even Native American groups could face long and…
An undated article from Earth.com claims that “the foundations of life are threatened by climate change.” This is false. [emphasis, links added] Real-world data shows that the Earth is increasing its biomass in response to the last century of mild warming and increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide. The article itself is little more than a jumble of statements, none of which, individually or combined, supports the claim that climate change is threatening life on Earth, as the title suggests. The first paragraph contains only a vague statement: Photosynthesis is the basis of life on Earth, but climate change increasingly threatens…
Article by Eric Worrell Still waiting for the promised climate catastrophe. Australia has become 1.5 degrees hotter go through Bianca HallOctober 31, 2024 – 12 am Australia's average temperature has risen by 1.5 degrees for the first time since records began, putting the world on track to exceed the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. It's the latest sobering assessment from scientists and meteorologists from CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology, who have been mapping Australia's climate change for 14 years. Their latest biennial State of the Climate report, released on Thursday, shows average temperatures continue…
Drilling for our vast domestic oil and gas resources is clearly in America's economic interest, but it's also a great way to achieve world peace and promote our national security. [emphasis, links added] This is a point we've been making for years, but this chart from our friend and prominent investor David Bahnsen hammers it home again. When we drill less, our enemies drill more and get rich off our stupid, unworkable green energy policies.
