The heart-wrenching devastation in Kentucky and surrounding regions due to several tornadoes has caught everyone’s attention. Fortunately, meteorologists have been increasingly capable of issuing tornado warnings and have greatly reduced tornado-related death tolls.But despite adequate warning, one tornado took direct aim on Mayfield, Kentucky, causing buildings to collapse and a horrible death toll.The USA experiences more tornadoes than elsewhere, suffering, on average, over 1100 tornados a … [Read more...]
Tornado Outbreak: Weather, Not Climate
This image shows today's [December 15, 2021] temperature departures from the 30-year average, which range from 30 deg. F above to 30 deg. below normal. The large unusually warm area in the U.S. Midwest is sandwiched between unusually cold air masses. Over the entire area shown it can be seen that the warm and cold spots approximately cancel out. Global warming is a quasi-global phenomenon, it cannot be blamed for temporary and isolated warm weather events. … [Read more...]

SEPP Lauds Cornwall’s Livestream with Christopher Essex
“Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.” Such is the wise counsel of Proverbs 27:2.Well, recently that happened, in a big way. Ken Haapala, President of the Science and Environmental Project (SEPP), was so impressed by the Cornwall Alliance’s From the Stacks livestream November 23, with guest Dr. Christopher Essex, that he devoted the first part of SEPP’s weekly e-newsletter The Week that Was November 27 to summarizing and commenting on some of its … [Read more...]
The Facts: Reporters Exploit Normal Weather to Fan Climate Fear
Exaggeration of weather events to sell climate crisis is not something new. In the case of a Sky News’ account of flooding in one Indian city, my own observations — backed up by independent data — are contrary to the report. Chennai — my home state’s capital, formerly known as Madras — is prone to floods, whose severity I’ve personally witnessed. In fact, the last time Chennai flooded, I narrowly escaped by fleeing the city at … [Read more...]
Bear Drowns Reindeer: Link It to Climate Change and It’ll Always Get Attention!
A couple of months ago the journal Polar Biology published a paper about a polar bear's having chased a reindeer into the sea, caught it, drowned it, dragged the carcass back to land, and feasted on it. "Yes, they can: polar bears Ursus maritimus successfully hunt Svalbard reindeer Rangifer tarandus platyrhynchus" didn't make a lot of noise at first and probably didn't deserve to.But count on popular media to spin and hype what's actually mundane if it can be tied, even speculatively, to … [Read more...]
COP 26: The UN climate conference in Glasgow was everything we expected: Bountiful laughter
The COP26 climate conference has ended in Glasgow, and most of the western countries’ political leaders have returned home after paying due homage to the thesis that we must all stop using oil, gas and coal to avoid a climate “catastrophe”. The world’s bankers continued on longer seeking commitments to withdraw critically-needed financing from those who seek to develop more hydrocarbon supplies. People who are well-informed about global energy supply, demand and emissions trends are left … [Read more...]
COP 26: Radicals lose on every issue!
The radical alarmists proposed a fistful of bad stuff during COP 26. A lot was in the surprise COP President’s proposed decision document on the last Wednesday, with just three days to go. See my article "COP 26: With Biden’s help the COP goes wild." Other ridiculous stuff was proposed by various country groups.None of it made it whole into the final decision. Most just disappeared and what was left was rendered harmless.Among the crazy proposals that happily went missing in action:1. Halving … [Read more...]
Consecutive cold years reveal climate lies of COP26
As world leaders meet this week at Glasgow for COP26, real-life data such as cold weather and increasing sea ice hints at the falseness of their faux climate crises.Residents of Delhi, for instance, are bracing for another cold winter after the country’s meteorological department forecasted below-normal temperatures for November. In fact, a string of exceptionally cold winters for the Indian capital have contradicted continual media predictions of unusual global warming—a dichotomy repeating … [Read more...]
Louisiana Religious Climate Activists Might Want to Check the Data
One can't help admiring the motives of many religious leaders alarmed about human-induced climate change. From the Pope to the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury to leaders of the Islamic, Hindu, Buddhist, and Jewish faiths, many express their angst that climate change is an "existential threat" to humanity, especially the poor, and to all life on Earth.But sometimes one wishes they would combine some knowledge of basic data with their good intentions.An AP story published today, "Faith groups … [Read more...]
