Jan 24, 2025 ~ Flashback 1799: "Snows are less frequent and less deep. They often do not lie below the mountains more than one, two, or three days and very rarely a week. They are remembered to be formerly frequent, deep, and of long continuance. The elderly inform me that the earth used to be covered with snow about three months every year. The rivers, which then seldom failed to freeze over in the course of the winter, scarcely ever do now. These changes…in the spring of the year is very fatal to fruits…I remember that when I was a small boy, say 60 years ago, snows were frequent and deep in every winter." -- Thomas Jefferson [Climate Change]
Jan 21, 2025 ~ 'Trump Signs Order Restoring Sex Binary in Federal Policy, Rooting Out Gender Ideology' "It is the policy of the United States to recognize two sexes, male and female. These sexes are not changeable and are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality." Trump also signed orders to reverse the TikTok ban, and reverse Biden's crazy climate and energy policies. [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Energy, Trans]
Jan 19, 2025 ~ 'California Wildfires are NOT Climate Driven' All of the conditions that contributed to the fire are normal in California. Last time was 2011 but they've happened countless times in the past. "The current fires, like many before them, are largely driven by well-documented weather phenomena, historical land-use patterns, and human decisions." "A critical factor in the Los Angeles wildfires is the role of the infamous Santa Ana winds, which are neither new nor related to climate change. ... They’ve been a well-documented driver of wildfires for as long as records exist." "Decades of fire suppression policies have allowed dry brush, dead trees, and dense vegetation to accumulate, creating the perfect conditions for catastrophic fires. The Palisades Fire, for instance, was fueled by dense vegetation that had built up over years." [Climate Change, Environment, Fake News]
Jan 11, 2025 ~ 'Pay Up, Mr. Mann' A court orders Michael Mann to pay $531K in court costs for his frivolous lawsuit against National Review for a blog post. Mann is a junk scientist who tries to sue his critics into silence often succeeding but not this time! [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Free Speech, Silencing]
Jan 9, 2025 ~ 'Biden Bans Oil and Gas Drilling in Federal Waters, Striking Final Blow against U.S. Energy on His Way Out' In more than 625 million acres of water. What a clown. He's determined to do as much damage as possible before he leaves. [Biden, Climate Change, Energy, Loathsome Left]
Dec 28, 2024 ~ 'Hochul and NY State Climate Cult Members Hit Energy Companies up for $75B' This is an insane money grab not backed up by real data. Stealing money from fossil fuel companies because they can. There is no more extreme weather now than there has been in the past. [Climate Change, Loathsome Left, Regulations]
Dec 28, 2024 ~ 'The fire suppression paradox' "Just because we’re suppressing wildfires doesn’t mean that the vegetation has stopped dropping leaves and branches. That material builds up over time, and once ignited, it may become extremely difficult to extinguish.  This is known as the 'fire suppression paradox.'  For every wildfire we extinguish today, we set the stage for a future fire that will be harder to put out."   "Reports indicate that the frequency of wildfires has been diminishing while their intensity has increased.  Much of the literature on the subject mentions climate change, of course. But we’re also seeing the fire suppression paradox coming into play.  Better communications and fire suppression techniques enable us to extinguish wildfires more quickly, which diminishes their frequency. But the ones that do get away from us tend to burn hotter and longer and cover more area.  As we increase residential and commercial construction in remote areas, we can expect the cost of these wildfires to increase." [Climate Change, Environment]
Dec 18, 2024 ~ 'Same-Sex Couples Face Higher Climate Change Risks, New UCLA Study Shows' As usual, the #FakeNews pushes obvious absurdities in the name of 'climate change.' "Our findings probably understate the true impact that climate change is having on LGBTQ people." [Climate Change, Fake News]
Dec 1, 2024 ~ Fraud 'climatologist' Michael Mann never stops making a fool of himself. Mann predicted 33 named storms and the #FakeNews gleefully reported and warned, "the highest count ever predicted!!" There were only 18, about half. The clowns keep clowning and the #FakeNews keeps faking. [Climate Change, Fake News]
Dec 1, 2024 ~ Climate scientist Chris Martz explains, "Two years ago, The Guardian reported that Spain and Portugal were becoming too dry thanks to climate change. Now, The Guardian says that Spain is too wet because of climate change. The narrative changes with the weather. No matter what the weather does, it is always your fault and the only solution is to expand the government’s power. [Climate Change, Fake News]
Nov 5, 2024 ~ A lot of focus on some recent floods in Spain. The #FakeNews blames 'climate change' even though similar floods in these areas have happened in the recent past. But another huge factor is that "Spain destroyed more than 256 dams between 2021 and 2022, "to restore the natural course of rivers", in order to comply with UN Agenda 2030." Source: Wide Awake America [Climate Change, Fake News]
Nov 1, 2024 ~ Climate alarmists aided by the #FakeNews have declared the floods in Valencia, Spain to be due to 'climate change.' As always they falsely claim it is 'unprecedented' as they got 14 inches of rain. But in 1957: 20 inches fell in 2 days. Valencia is known for flooding. 75 floods from 1321 to 1897. That's 7 floods a year! [Climate Change, Fake News]
Oct 26, 2024 ~ 'Globalist Misinformation: No, the Earth is Not Warming' Fantastic reference material showing historical data in context rather than short term cherry picked data. We are near a minimum on historical CO2 and no correlation between CO2 and temperature. [Climate Change]
Oct 18, 2024 ~ 'The real cause of weather-related deaths' "Despite fear-mongering about climate change supercharging natural disasters, weather-related deaths have declined dramatically." "According to the Emergency Event Database, the total global deaths per decade from climate-related disasters has fallen by more than 96% since the 1920s. Data show that between 1960 and 2020, there was an unprecedented decrease in climate-related deaths compared to the period between 1920 and 1959. This decline is even more impressive considering that the global population has more than quadrupled during this period, from about 2 billion in 1920 to nearly 8 billion by 2020." "In 1970, Cyclone Bhola killed an estimated 300,000–500,000 people. In contrast, Cyclone Amphan in 2020, though causing significant damage, resulted in fewer than 100 deaths in Bangladesh. [Climate Change]
Oct 18, 2024 ~ 'What Happens When a Tornado Goes Walkabout in a Solar Farm?' Hurricane Milton destroyed the huge Duke Energy solar farm in FL. Another reason why we can't rely on solar. These things are totally exposed unlike real power plants. 180,000 toxic panels destroyed and strewn all over the landscape. [Climate Change, Energy, Environment]
Oct 14, 2024 ~ Professor Emeritus of Physics at Princeton University, Dr. William Happer: "There isn't any [climate] crisis. There is no thing that needs to be solved. People who are proposing these solutions, they're not solutions at all. It's simply a waste of money. It's a power grab, it's grandstanding, it's virtue signalling." "None of it helps the average person. So be very wary of these people and vote them out of office if you possibly can." "Use your common sense... Don't let it be beaten out of you by propaganda that you get in school and over the media. Many people have an innate understanding of what's true and what's nonsense. Listen to your instincts and do a little reading yourself." [Climate Change]
Oct 13, 2024 ~ 'Newsom Signs Bill Banning Single-use Propane Cylinders for Camping' California is totally out of control banning everything. All of this will not make the slightest difference to the climate. [California, Climate Change, Regulations]
Oct 13, 2024 ~ 'DeSantis Shuts Down Reporter For Tying Tornadoes, Hurricanes To Global Warming' DeSantis has to explain history to the born yesterday #FakeNews who claim hurricanes are getting worse. “If you go back to 1851, there’s probably been 27 hurricanes that have had lower barometric, so the lower the barometric pressure, the stronger it is. I think there have been about 27 hurricanes that have had lower barometric pressure on landfall than Milton did, and of those, 17 occurred I think prior to 1960.”   “The most powerful hurricane on record since the 1850s in the state of Florida occurred in the 1930s, the Labor Day Hurricane, barometric pressure on that was 892 millibars. It totally wiped out the Keys. We’ve never seen anything like it, and that remains head and shoulders above any powerful hurricane that we’ve ever had in the state of Florida.”   He noted that the deadliest hurricane the state has ever faced was the Okeechobee hurricane in 1928, which killed more than 4,000 people. [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Fake News]
Oct 4, 2024 ~ 'Plain truth: Carbon credits are worhtless' "9 month joint investigation by journalists from The Guardian, Die Welt and SourceMaterial has shown that 90% of the REDD+ carbon credits from the world’s largest offsetting standard actually have no positive impact on the climate." And neither do the other 10%. Its a total scam where rich people buy absolution from con men. [Climate Change]
Oct 4, 2024 ~ 'Investigators Identify Cause Of Deadly Maui Wildfire That Killed More Than 100' The fire that many including the #FakeNews blamed on climate change was caused by downed utility lines that sparked very flammable, unmaintained grass in high wind conditions. [Climate Change, Fake News]
Sep 8, 2024 ~ Former climate alarmist Tom Harris is director of The International Climate Science Coalition. "There is no climate crisis... [There is] no consistent correlation between CO2 and Earth's temperature—at times CO2 was 1300% of today, and we were stuck in very cold conditions." ""There is no foundation to the climate scare—it's all based on models that don't work." [Climate Change, Fake News]
Sep 7, 2024 ~ 'A Dam Good Argument' Environmentalists claim they want us to transition to 'renewable' energy but then they destroy dams, like Snake River Dam providing the best kind: hydropower. They claim its killing salmon but that problem was solved 50 years ago. "Between 96% and 98% of the salmon successfully pass each dam." Why are they lying? [Climate Change, Environment, Fake News, John Stossel]
Sep 7, 2024 ~ "Net Zero: 'Totally Crazy Weather Roulette'" Germany plans to charge more for electricity on cloudy days to help compensate for getting less electricity on cloudy days. This cannot be the future anyone wants. Business already say this won't fly. [Climate Change, Economy]
Sep 2, 2024 ~ This paper by three of the world’s leading scientists, Richard Lindzen, William Happer and W. A. van Wijngaarden, of MIT, Princeton and York University calculates how much it would help if we actually could achieve net 0 by 2050 (an impossible task with an impossible price tag). The result was that it wouldn't help by a significant amount.   "if the United States (U.S.) eliminated net CO2 emissions by the year 2050, this would avert a warming of 0.0084◦C (0.015 ◦F), which is below our ability to accurately measure. If the entire world forced net zero CO2 emissions by the year 2050, a warming of only 0.070 ◦C (0.13 ◦F) would be averted. If one assumes that the warming is a factor of 4 larger because of positive feedbacks, as asserted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the warming averted by a net zero U.S. policy would still be very small, 0.034◦C (0.061 ◦F). For worldwide net zero emissions by 2050 and the 4-times larger IPCC climate sensitivity, the averted warming would be 0.28 ◦C (0.50 ◦F)." [Climate Change]
Aug 10, 2024 ~ 'Little Debbie' Hurricane Debbie is the latest storm touted by the alarmists as proof of climate change as every storm is. But it was another CAT 1 dud and so quickly forgotten. NOAA always predicts an 'above average' season but is rarely correct. [Climate Change, Fake News]
Aug 3, 2024 ~ Bjorn Lomborg explains: WHO misinforms on European heat deaths: 1) WHO claims extreme heat kills 175,000/year Untrue: The correct number is 49,000/year, rest is moderate heat 2) WHO claims rates are soaring Untrue: in 2024 study, age-standardized heat death rate down 10.27% per decade (table S11)) WHO misinforms by neglecting to say that 4-in-5 temperature deaths in Europe are from cold, with 50,000/year dying from extreme cold Does WHO leave you well-informed? [Climate Change, Fake News]
Aug 1, 2024 ~ "Aussie Swimming Star Slams 'Ridiculous' Woke Olympics Village Schemes, 'Cost Her a Record'" France has been a disgracefully bad host. Besides the insulting opening ceremonies, they didn't provide AC for the athletes, an unhealthy vegan diet, cardboard beds. Athletes were getting poor sleep and poor nutrition. Ariarne Titmus said conditions were so bad, it likely cost her a record. Teams were scrambling to bring in portable ACs and real food for their athletes but not all could afford to do that. France should never be allowed to host another Olympics. [Climate Change, CRT DIE Wokeness, Loathsome Left]
Jul 29, 2024 ~ 'Yellen: By the Way, We're Going to Need Another $3 Trillion per Year for Climate Change' These people cannot bankrupt the United States fast enough. We're running trillion dollar deficits and these fools want triple our insolvency. Complete maniacs. She absurdly tries to sell this massively unaffordable waste of money as a "big economic opportunity." "Of course, it really is a massive economic opportunity if you happen to own or have stock in one of the many 'green energy' companies that have been cropping up. It's also a wonderful opportunity for China and any other nations that are sitting on the largest stockpiles of rare-earth metals needed to build all of the batteries required to drive all of this nonsense. But for everyone else, it's a massive, pointless money sink." [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Debt, Deficit, Economics, Regulations]
Jul 28, 2024 ~ Climate activist Stuart Parker explains how the left will literally try to destroy your life if you disagree with any of their dogma and how the world would be so much better if everyone behaved like conservatives when they disagree. They are very vindictive and intolerant. Many in the comments say the same thing - they feel much safer around conservatives and know its safe to disagree. "In my 36 years as a climate activist, no conservative who has disagreed with me on climate has ever tried to destroy my career, my home, my relationship, my friendships, my social media accounts, my radio shows, my podcasts or my recreational activities. People working in the fossil fuel industry who feel my efforts are destroying their employment prospects, people who think climate change is a hoax, a fraud I am helping to perpetrate, people who falsely believe I receive money from shadowy European interests: none of these people have felt entitled to go after my ability to earn a living or have a romantic partner. In my 3 years of opposing genderwang, dozens, likely hundreds of progressives, many of whom I considered comrades or friends, have felt it totally appropriate to engage in unapologetic concerted public efforts to destroy these things, to even come after my fortnightly tabletop Runequest games and try to stop those. In a social partition of contemporary North America, I would rather be in a conservative society, even if it were significantly more on fire, because I wouldn't feel unsafe disagreeing with my neighbours."

Jul 28, 2024 ~ 'Kamala Harris Is Still a Dangerous Authoritarian' Very long piece on the many problematic stances of Kamala Harris. Fracking ban, gun ban by presidential executive fiat, tried to abolish the filibuster to pass the Green New Deal, free health care for illegals, and much more. [Climate Change, Energy, Guns-Mass Shootings, Harris, Illegal Immigration]
Jul 9, 2024 ~ Bjorn Lomborg is out with another peer reviewed article: "Your risk of dying from climate-related disasters dropped 99% since 1920. This is because richer societies are much more resilient to disasters." [Climate Change]
Jul 8, 2024 ~ After being blamed on 'climate change' (as ALL storms today ridiculously are), hurricane Beryl hit Texas as a mere CAT 1. @RyanMaue explains that hurricanes are beneficial and necessary to the entire US (not just coastal states), recharging aquifers and even the Great Lakes. [Climate Change, Environment, Fake News]
Jul 3, 2024 ~ Climatologist and hurricane expert Dr. Judith Curry says there are not more hurricanes now than in the past, nor are they more powerful on average. How much cognitive dissonance is required to hear that and still believe that EVERY SINGLE HURRICANE is now due to climate change. [Climate Change, Fake News]
Jun 30, 2024 ~ 'Mining the Planet for Renewable Energy'   "In reality, a transition to an all-electric economy with no fossil fuels means millions of acres of America’s wild, scenic, and agricultural lands would be covered with wind turbines, solar panels, transmission lines, and warehouses filled with batteries that can spontaneously erupt in flames.   In reality, we don’t know whether there are enough accessible metal and mineral deposits on Planet Earth to extract all the raw materials required to manufacture the turbines, panels, batteries, transmission lines, electric vehicles, transformers, and other equipment the energy transformation would require – just for the United States, much less for the entire world.   We don’t know how many billions of tons of rock would have to be mined, processed, and disposed of; how many millions of acres would be impacted; how many millions of tons of toxic air and water pollution would be emitted; what human rights would be violated to get those metals and minerals.   One of the most basic and vital metals for the energy transformation is copper. Average worldwide ore concentrations (0.04%) mean miners would have to remove some 40,000,000 tons of overlying rock and extract, crush, and process nearly 25,000,000 tons of ore to get 110,000 tons of copper – enough for just the first 30,000 megawatts of President Biden’s offshore wind plan."   "The biggest wind energy project in the USA will soon blanket 1,600 square miles (1.25 times Delaware) of New Mexico, to generate 3,500 MW about 30% of the year. The Palo Verde nuclear plant in Arizona generates 4,200 MW from 6 square miles almost 24/7/365.   A Bloomberg research team says the world will need at least $200 trillion to stop global warming by 2050. Others estimate $275 trillion!" [Climate Change, Energy]
Jun 29, 2024 ~ 'Feedback Taken: Tractor Supply Company Ends All “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion” Programs' After getting an earful from its customers impacting its bottom line to the tune of $2 billion, Tractor Supply eliminated all of its DIE, Climate Change or LGBT efforts and spending. [Climate Change, CRT DIE Wokeness, LGBT]
Jun 24, 2024 ~ 'Hurricane godfather puts record-breaking forecast into perspective' Dr. Neil Frank, former director of the National Hurricane Center, says current hurricane seasons are well within historical norms when you account for the multi-decade cycles. Another factor is that with modern technology, "We are now naming storms we would have never named before." [Climate Change]
Jun 20, 2024 ~ 'EV-maker Fisker is insolvent' There have been at least 7 EV company financial disasters in the last year. Fisker bankrupt, Lordstown bankrupt, Cruise going bankrupt even with $1B injected by GM, Hertz, Ford, GM, electric bus company Proterra. [Climate Change, Energy]
Jun 18, 2024 ~ The president of the Chicago Teachers Union Stacy Davis Gates claimed: "Conservatives don’t even want Black children to be able to read," among other equally ridiculous and unhinged smears. Republicans are actually against the union demands because they are unaffordable ($14 Billion) partly due to all kinds of useless climate change expenses including the creation of a 'climate champion' position. Clowns. [Climate Change, Education, Fake Racism, Loathsome Left]
Jun 16, 2024 ~ 'Climate BS from the Wall Street Journal' The article claims climate change is producing shortages of wine, coffee, cocoa, and olive oil. This is complete nonsense. All of the relevant events are well within historical norms, as always with these stories. [Climate Change, Fake News]
Jun 14, 2024 ~ 'You Paid Hundreds of Millions for Solar Power to Wreck the Environment' "Your tax dollars will subsidize a solar company cutting down thousands of protected and rare [centuries old] Joshua trees and destroying habitat for the endangered desert tortoise to make way for a massive energy project in California."   "According to the National Park Service, Joshua trees are a key part of the desert ecosystem, 'providing habitat for numerous birds, mammals, insects, and lizards,' and are on average 150 years old, although many are much older than that."   "Solar power also creates about 300 times more toxic waste per unit of electricity generated than nuclear-power plants do, because solar panels use extremely hazardous materials like sulfuric acid and toxic phosphine gas in their manufacturing." They can also take decades to make up for the CO2 used to create and transport them and its not clear they last that long.   "After 50 years and hundreds of billions of dollars in subsidies, loads of regulatory advantages, and political support, solar power generated under 4 percent of America’s electricity in 2023." [Climate Change, Environment]
Jun 9, 2024 ~ "Fact-Checking Wind and Solar Claims: Climate Expert Makes Case for ‘Realism’" When it comes to energy, "nuclear is probably the future and should have been the present," climatologist David Legates says.   "Wind, solar, and electric vehicles aren’t the clean energy accomplishments that many claim, climatologist David Legates says.   'The lithium … all of the rare earth minerals that are necessary for the batteries, that are necessary for the solar panels, that are necessary for the wind turbines … are called rare earths,' Legates explains.   These rare earth minerals are acquired through strip mining, he says, a process that involves putting large chunks of earth into a solution. Once the minerals are extracted, what is left is a toxic sludge lake.'"   "We’re all told it’s clean and green because you see it’s spinning there or you see the panel sitting there, it’s not producing gases. But to get to that stage, there has been an awful lot of disastrous and environmental and social efforts that have gone on behind the scenes."   "If carbon dioxide goes up, will temperature follow? And the answer is yes, slightly.   However, most of the absorption bands that we have with carbon dioxide are already saturated. So what that means is that, essentially, if you had no carbon dioxide or no greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at all, the addition of some makes a big deal. But as you start to add more and more and more, you get less of an impact. And so by the time we are where we are now, more carbon dioxide really doesn’t do a whole lot.   And so if we doubled carbon dioxide now, we get maybe a degree Celsius of warming and that would be it. And certainly it’s not worth the economic impacts that people want it to have." [Climate Change, Environment]
Jun 9, 2024 ~ "The Quest for a ‘Clean Economy’ Collides with Reality" "A typical Tesla Model 3 battery, which contains six kilograms of lithium, eight kilograms of cobalt, eight kilograms of aluminum, 17 kilograms of copper, 42 kilograms of nickel, and 55 kilograms of graphite. All of these materials come from somewhere, and that somewhere is underground — often, far beneath the surface. As a rule, underground mines make for very uncongenial neighbors. Their sites are dirty and dusty, loud, crowded with vehicular traffic, liable to pollute aquifers and generate toxic waste, and demanding of enormous quantities of water. Underground extraction can also conflict with deeply rooted cultural, historical, and social norms and practices." [Climate Change, Economics, Environment]
Jun 8, 2024 ~ 'California Setting Up It's Next Energy Disaster' Just like CA set itself up for water shortages by not building any reservoirs while population more than doubles, they are setting up an energy disaster by shutting down refineries. "No new refineries have opened since the 1960s. In fact, according to CEC data, more than 60% of the refineries opened in California during the last 100 years are now closed or idle." "Instead of fostering innovation, state policies have actively sought to put refineries out of business." [California, Climate Change, Economics, Energy]
Jun 8, 2024 ~ 'Biden's All-of-Government Vote-Buying Scheme' Biden is handing out $50 million to the 'Climate Justice Alliance' which believes that "the path to climate justice travels through a free Palestine" and all the standard DIE poison. But that is just a drop in the bucket as the ridiculously named 'Inflation Reduction Act' "provides $2.8 billion to the EPA for environmental and climate justice block grants," (Section 60201). That's a license to hand out walking-around money to many political activists, not just the Climate Justice Alliance." Biden and the Democrats hand out billions of your taxpayer dollars or borrowed money to buy votes. [Anti-Semitism, Biden, Climate Change, CRT DIE Wokeness, Politics]
Jun 8, 2024 ~ Governor Glenn Youngkin pulled Virginia out of California's ridiculous phase out of gas powered vehicles. “Once again, Virginia is declaring independence – this time from a misguided electric vehicle mandate imposed by unelected leaders nearly 3,000 miles away from the Commonwealth. The idea that government should tell people what kind of car they can or can’t purchase is fundamentally wrong. Virginians deserve the freedom to choose which vehicles best fit the needs of their families and businesses. The law is clear, and I am proud to announce Virginians will no longer be forced to live under this out-of-touch policy.” [Climate Change, Energy]
Jun 6, 2024 ~ "California ‘clean energy’ company set to bulldoze more than 3,500 Joshua trees, so coastal homes can go ‘carbon neutral’" The insanity continues. So called 'clean energy' is often very bad for the environment. [California, Climate Change, Environment]
Jun 3, 2024 ~ "Those 'All Electric' Fire Trucks are a Sad Joke" They are 50% more money because you can't rely on electric to last the entire fire or transport so they have to be diesel as well. [Climate Change]
May 25, 2024 ~ "Climate Change ‘Solutions’ Are Harming the Environment" One of many crazy examples, Scotland cut down 16 million trees (natural carbon sinks) to make room for wind turbines!!" The insanity of of that is beyond belief. [Anti-Science, Climate Change]
May 25, 2024 ~ Here's the Godfather of #FakeNews, Dan Rather and the Grifer in Chief, Al Gore explaining how 25% of Florida is going to end up under water due to burning fossil fuels. That was 42 years ago! How long can they keep up the alarmism? New terms: Climate Emergency, Chaos, Apocalypse. [Climate Change, Fake News]
