It has been a while since I have posted progress on our DOE-funded research into the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect in the GHCN station temperatures used to monitor land-based global warming. It should be remembered that everything I post on this subject is (as is usually the case) a work in progress.What I am addressing is the existence of localized long-term warming associated with population increases which are over and above the large-scale warming due to humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions … [Read more...]
Education Game-Changer
Last week, for the first time, a major state formally rebuked one of the core elements of the Left’s scheme to undermine our education system (see below). If other states are paying attention, this could be the beginning of an extraordinarily significant awakening and rejection of the stranglehold that the Left now has on our K-12 education system.It’s no secret that the Left plans to take down America. Their number one strategy to bring this about is to corrupt the education system. Their … [Read more...]
Great Car Reset: Biden’s EPA to Release Strict New Fed Emissions Standard
The Great Car Reset has arrived: Our transportation system is being intentionally collapsed; (and our freedom of movement is being stripped away) EVs are to be forced upon YOU without a vote!This is the planned rationing of vehicles. The planned rationing of American cars. That’s the only way this plan makes sense. The only result will be shortages of cars and a completely altered used car market. You can look to Cuba to find out what it’s like to have a raging used car market because … [Read more...]
Biden’s 67% EV Policy: a Dictatorial Attack on the American Driver and the US Grid
Biden's proposed mandate of 67% EVs in the 2030s is a dictatorial attack on the American driver and the U.S. grid that will:1. Force Americans to drive inferior cars.2. Place massive new demand for reliable electricity on a grid that is declining in reliable electricity supply.China dominates the supply chains of many critical minerals, and given the environmental policies of the Biden administration, this will not change in favor of U.S. mining anytime soon.1Biden’s EPA is planning to dictate … [Read more...]
Some Like It Hot – Others Like It Cold
The drivel from air-conditioned mainstream media newsrooms has reached new levels of guffaw with the “shocking” headlines that the Fourth of July was the hottest day on Earth in “as many as 125,000 years” – breaking a record set on July 3. Hmmm. Really? Or is this just hype to avoid mentioning the shortfall of patriotic fireworks, replaced by drones across much of the Home of the Brave (not so much.)Here’s what we know IS true. In many places, including central Texas, it was HOT on … [Read more...]
The “Energy Transition” Isn’t All It Claims To Be
We are inundated with claims about the “energy transition.”In February, E&E News, reporting on the State of the Union speech, said, “President Joe Biden laid out his vision for the energy transition Tuesday night.” In March, a reporter for Politico declared, “The U.S. energy transition is well underway.”Also in March, during a speech at the CERAWeek conference in Houston, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said that "As this transition progresses, our energy mix will change." Or consider … [Read more...]

Finally, the Europeans May Be Rejecting the EV Kool-Aid
You may not know it if you rely solely on American media, but there is a growing revolt across much of Europe against net-zero mandates in general and electric vehicle mandates in particular.Image: Creative Commons under UnsplashIt seems that led by luxury carmakers, the future may be bright for the venerable internal combustion engine if new synthetic fuel technologies can produce an affordable replacement for gasoline and diesel fuels.The revolt had been brewing since Europe got a wake-up call … [Read more...]
UN Secretary-General Wrong to Blame Climate Change for Somalian Suffering
The following is a guest article by Linnea Lueken.U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres recently gave a speech in Somalia in which he claimed Somalia is suffering from the impacts of climate change disproportionately, specifically concerning crop production amid an ongoing regional drought. This is false. Somalia is not suffering famine and crop failures primarily due to drought. Social and political instability is a much more likely culprit, especially since Somalia’s current drought is not … [Read more...]
Americans Increasingly Choose a Warmer Life
We hear that a new El Nino forming in the Pacific Ocean is likely to push global-average temperatures to new record highs in 2023.Setting aside the fact that we have no idea if current temperatures are warmer than during the Medieval Warm Period of ~1,000 years ago, I have to ask…So what?Doing something about global warming depends a lot on how much we are asked to pay to fix it. If it was cheap and practical, we would have already transitioned to renewable energy sources.It also depends … [Read more...]
