Climate Change Weekly #384 In the waning days of President Donald Trump’s term of office, the administration has finalized a series of actions and rules that will complicate if not prevent incoming President Joe Biden from easily imposing radical climate proposals on the country. The Trump administration offered oil and gas leases on public lands in Alaska (January) and California (December), and despite today’s relatively low oil and gas prices, companies bid on the leases and won. In the Alaskan case, a federal court refused to halt the leases, noting drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), after nearly four decades of wrangling, was authorized by a federal law. These actions will complicate Biden’s ability to keep his promise of ending new oil and gas leases on federal land. ....
Climate Change Weekly #383 Dishonesty has seemingly become the hallmark of reporting on climate research. In 2020, the dishonesty reached new heights as multiple studies which actually presented (or that could have presented) good news, were portrayed by the researchers involved and media hacks covering them as if they showed purported human-caused climate change was causing various disasters. The truth is, time and again, the data often including data provided by the studies refutes the claimed climate disaster, instead showing the environment getting better. Below I’ll deconstruct a few examples of this fearmongering habit. Recently, The Guardian and other media outlets have claimed an updated atlas of bird habitats shows global warming is “pushing” birds further north. ....
Reading Eagle, Dec. 17) contained no evidence, just conjectured crisis. Record-breaking hurricanes? A Nov. 3 report by Dr. Ryan Maue of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on global hurricane frequency says, âNo noticeable change has been documented.â - Advertisement - Wildfires? Climate at a Glance reported: âLong-term data from the U.S. National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) show wildfires have dramatically declined in number and severity in recent decades. Reporting data on U.S. wildfires from as far back as 1926, NIFC documents that the number of acres annually burned recently is only 1/4th to 1/5th of the annual acres burned in the 1930s.â ....
December 17, 2020 Climate Change Weekly #382 It’s a sorry state of affairs when the mainstream media repeatedly reiterate false claims, as it has done in recent months concerning the purported harmful effects of supposed human-caused climate change. Among the media’s worst sins in this regard is the false claim that climate change is harming peoples’ health. Environmental extremists claim, for example, climate change is increasing the incidence and spread of diseases such as COVID-19, as the Los Angeles Times and Phys.org wrote earlier in 2020, and is increasing the number of people sickened or killed by insect-borne diseases such as malaria and zika, as was recently “reported” by both ....
Climate Change Weekly #381 Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is hostile to open debate over climate science and policy. Sadly, he’s far from being the only one. Many progressive Democrats, and their lapdogs in the mainstream media, have long been calling for a climate inquisition: prosecution, fines, imprisonment, and reeducation camps for economists, scientists, and political analysts whose research has led them to question whether humans are causing a climate catastrophe or that big government must impose harsh restrictions on the public in order to prevent it. Whitehouse first broached the possibility of suppressing the speech of and possibly prosecuting climate dissenters as far back as 2015 in a ....
