The progressive crowd has been saying the quiet part out loud quite a bit lately.
Time magazine released an article on Thursday extolling the praises of a shadowy cabal of industry higher-ups who conspired to manipulate the election and oust Donald Trump.
The article shocked a lot of people for its brazenness. Mere days earlier, conservative outlets including our own were subject to page removals, suspensions, and outright bans for even suggesting such a thing.
In yet another stunning “quiet part out loud” moment, a New England government official revealed the left’s endgame in fighting the climate, in an online meeting he assumed would remain private. Massachusetts Undersecretary for Climate Change David Ismay participated in a meeting with the Vermont Climate Council back in January, where he admitted that when it comes to the big climate “offenders” in their region, there are no bad guys left to break. Ismay went on to say that now the onl

New spin on old polar vortex behaviour Save to Read Later
The polar vortex has wrapped its icy arms this week around nearly every inch of the Prairie provinces and northern Ontario, drawing warnings from Environment Canada.

As much as the extreme warmth of January was related to climate change, so too is the recent extreme cold and it all starts and ends with how a warming planet is changing an enormous climate feature that has the power to dictate weather across the Northern Hemisphere.

The myth of temporal independence?
Nordhaus 1992 hs been a fat target for disagreement, perhaps especially because the resultant DICE was an early entrant and certainly the most ambitious effort of its day, hence highly conspicuous, widely adopted, possibly prone to oversights especially given its underpinning school of economics. Michael Grubb et al 1992 pointed out some static features built into DICE that might not pan out. 25 years have passed since those observations. Now, Grubb et al 2021 explore how certain features baked into DICE have been propagated in community wisdom and have cemented themselves into educational and policy settings despite their being essentially mythological, unsupported, and yet having profound effects on how our future will unroll:
The polar vortex is nothing new. It is a low-pressure area that exists over the North Pole, with a mass of cold air circulating counterclockwise. “I’ve been going to the North for close to 40 years now. When I first started working in the Arctic, the polar vortex was a thing that was well-understood,” said David Barber, a Canada Research Chair in Arctic System Science and director of the University of Manitoba’s Centre for Earth Observation Science. “But in those days, it was very constrained as a pressure pattern around the pole. It was really quite uniform in shape. It would move around a little bit, but it was very much an Arctic phenomenon.”
