July 2019 was probably the 4th warmest of the last 41 years. Global “reanalysis” datasets need to start being used for monitoring of global surface temperatures. [NOTE: It turns out that the WMO, which announced July 2019 as a near-record, relies upon the ERA5 reanalysis which apparently departs substantially from the CFSv2 reanalysis, making my proposed reliance on only reanalysis data for surface temperature monitoring also subject to considerable uncertainty]. We are now seeing news … [Read more...]
Why Climate Change Chicken Littles Demand Action NOW!
Britain’s Prince Charles said it: “the next 18 months will decide our ability to keep climate change to survivable levels.” There you go. 18 months. And you thought AOC was shrill! Why 18 months? Supposedly because, as Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, founder and director emeritus of the Potsdam Climate Institute, and one Pope Francis’s chief advisors on his 2015 environmental encyclical, put it, “The climate math is brutally clear: While the world can’t be healed within the next few … [Read more...]
Greenland’s Heatwave: What It Doesn’t Mean for All of Us
CNN ushered in August yesterday with a boilerplate scare story about a heat wave spurring rapid melting from Greenland’s ice sheet. Like many such articles, Sheena McKenzie’s “Greenland is in the grips of a heatwave. Here’s what it means for all of us” scares by presenting big numbers without putting them into relevant proportion: “In July alone, Greenland's ice sheet lost 160 billion tons of ice, according to Clare Nullis, spokeswoman for the UN World Meteorological Organization. That’s … [Read more...]
The Real Motives Behind Green New America and its Radical Undertone
Do you hold a moderate or neutral opinion on climate? Then get ready to be sidelined or blacklisted as a “denier” or “dangerous person” by the growing number of radicals who believe there should be no room for dissent. Welcome to the Green New America. In earlier days, the color Green was largely associated with nature and the abundance of life. In the 20th century, Green became the symbol of the fight against all things that destroys the environment. In the U.S., the color Green took … [Read more...]
Why am I Not Seeing Record High Temperatures Every Year? Climate Reality for the Confused Generation
Global warming, caused by greenhouse gases from human activity, is causing the earth to become warmer each year and cause historic highs. That has been the dominant narrative in our world today. It is not difficult to realize that there is something amiss with this warming narrative, when our thermometers and satellites don’t record historic highs linearly, i.e., incremental temperatures on consecutive years, with every new year surpassing the record high of the previous year. For … [Read more...]
No Roads and No Electricity: Why Fossil Fuels are Indispensable for Development
I live in the Silicon Valley of India, Bangalore. Except for the tech companies, there aren’t many similarities between Bangalore (now Bengaluru) and the Silicon Valley in California. I live in the northern part of the city. Roads here remain in an unusable condition. They are worse than any bad road you would find in the U.S. The road leading to my neighborhood—frequented by thousands of cars every day—has remained dug up for more than 400 days now. In fact, reports indicate that around … [Read more...]
Battery Storage—An Infinitesimal Part of Electrical Power
Large-scale storage of electricity is the latest proposed solution to boost the deployment of renewables. Renewable energy advocates, businesses, and state governments plan to use batteries to store electricity to solve the problem of intermittent wind and solar output. But large-scale storage is only an insignificant part of the electrical power industry and doomed to remain so for decades to come. Last month, Senator Susan Collins of Maine introduced a bi-partisan bill named “The Better … [Read more...]
Never Have US Health Professionals Been So Foolish
Last month, 74 US medical and public health groups released a “U.S. Call to Action,”declaring climate change a “true public health emergency” that can be solved by “urgent action.” The statement calls for a transition away from hydrocarbon energy and a move to a low-carbon economy. But actual weather and health trends don’t support either the alarm or the demanded actions. The statement was endorsed by the American Medical Association, the American … [Read more...]
Apocalyptic Sea-Level Rise—Just a Thing of the Past?
On February 2, 1978—41 years ago!—The Wall Street Journal warned in a headline that “Low-Lying Lands Could Be Submerged by Climatic Disaster.” Fears of apocalyptic sea-level rise are nothing new despite the fact that they seem to have recently taken on a new life of their own, especially in South Florida, where I live. The only scientific correlation I can make with any certainty is that these fears rise in direct proportion to the number of socialists elected to Congress. So, … [Read more...]
The Spectacular Cricket World Cup and The Climate Undertone
The cricket world cup ended earlier this month after an amazing final between the hosts England and New Zealand. The tournament entertained fans across the world, but not without drama. Rain and the unusually cold start to the summer resulted in cancellation of key games in the earlier part of the tournament. It revealed a larger climate truth, one that is contrary to the propaganda peddled by the UK’s liberal mainstream media. Cricket is very similar to baseball. Pitchers pitch the … [Read more...]
