this [Biden-Harris] The government will allocate $3 billion to update and electrify port infrastructure across the United States, which it says will translate into cleaner equipment, cleaner air and thousands of new port jobs. [emphasis, links added] Twenty-seven states and U.S. territories will receive $3 billion in IRA funds, much of which will be used for new electric or hydrogen-powered freight handling equipment and infrastructure. The plan calls for the deployment and installation of new trucks, locomotives, ships, shore power systems for docked ships and solar power, together is It is expected to eliminate more than 3 million tons of…
A report published on Monday by Oxfam claimed that “carbon inequality” – meaning “the emissions of the world’s super-rich 1%” – is “causing economic losses of trillions of dollars, contributing to huge crop losses, and leading to millions of excess Death toll.” [emphasis, links added] “As global temperatures continue to rise, the lives and livelihoods of people living in poverty and instability are at risk, We must act now to curb emissions from the super-rich and make wealthy polluters pay,” declared Oxfam. The title of the report is Carbon inequality kills: Why limiting excess emissions from an elite few can…
Editor’s note: The following ten questions were compiled by Chris Martz posted on his Twitter (X). As we often point out climate realismthe media is incompetent even when it comes to basic science, they will never be able to answer these basic climate questions. If they could, we would see balanced and accurate writing about climate issues, rather than the usual doom-filled scare stories we see almost every day about a non-existent “climate crisis.” Guest Tweet by Chris Martz Here are 10 basic questions climate alarmists never answer. ➊ You claim that the earth is overheating. Said it was “too…
A team of 14 climate scientists warned in the State of the Climate Report 2024: A Dangerous Time for the Planet that the Earth's climate in 2024 “will be in a major crisis and will get worse if we continue with business as usual” . The report does not sugarcoat their view of the dangers facing humanity. “We are on the brink of an irreversible climate catastrophe,” the report begins. “There is no question that this is a global emergency. Much of the fabric of life on Earth is threatened. We are entering a climate crisis. a critical and unpredictable…
Nothing says fall like biting into an apple fresh from the tree. But hot weather can damage growing fruit. Some varieties will turn brown and blister on the tree. Others drop prematurely before ripening. Decades ago, Chris Walsh—now a professor emeritus at the University of Maryland—began studying and cultivating apples in his region. Walsh: “I realized that the new apple varieties we were testing locally couldn’t handle the heat.” So he set out to breed apples that could do just that. Recently, his team patented two varieties – one red and one yellow. So far, they are only known as…

It’s 11:30 AM: High clouds are moving over Sonoma and Napa Valley, which is considered our strongest pressure gradient, so I dropped the forecasted wind values Starting at 7:30 am: The giant upper ridge that brought record temperatures moved eastward overnight, but the smaller upper ridges that produced the heat continued to heat. This caused the deadly low pressure…
As the days shorten and temperatures get cooler and we enter a fall weather pattern, weather forecasts often include comments about high pressure moving inland into the Great Basin. When this happens, northerly internal winds develop and turn to the northeast or east-easterly as high pressure moves inland. That's exactly what we're seeing this week, which typically means less beach winds as offshore winds and cooler temperatures battle sea breeze activity on the beaches. But this past incident is not typical. The winds along the coastline from Ventura to Leo Carillo did not weaken, with wind speeds reaching 30 knots.…
not many people know Paul Homewood One of our readers sent me a letter from the BBC a few weeks ago: The following is a letter I wrote to Tony Grant, editor of Channel 4's From Our Own Correspondent, in early October: Dear Mr. Grant, I listened in disbelief to your article that was broadcast in Sri Lanka on the 28thth Your correspondent Samira Hussain reported in September that the economic crisis that devastated the country a few years ago was caused by corruption in the then “right-wing” government. While I would venture to say that there was (and still…
From the Daily Skeptic Author: David Telfer Whenever renewable energy subsidies are discussed on the internet, there's a sort of Godwin's law, which means inevitably someone will say: “Aksholi, fossil fuels are subsidized more than renewables”, or something to that effect , as shown in the example below. I've often thought this claim was false, but until now haven't delved into the details to prove it. Energy is one of the basic foundations of modern society. Almost any activity you can think of requires some type of energy input. Factories need energy to make things. Offices require energy to heat,…
