Have Nurses Nothing Better to Do Than Discuss Climate Change?

If you wanted a snapshot of why so many nurses feel increasingly disconnected from their professional bodies, you could do worse than read the minutes of a recent meeting of senior nursing figures. I am referring to the Fellows meeting of the Royal College of Nursing held on June 18th in London. I have the privilege of being a Fellow, but I was not, thankfully, present at the meeting.

Munich’s First-Ever Green Party Mayor Declares First Ever City Water Use Restrictions… Fines Up to 50,000 €!

Kolja Barghoorn feels the restrictions have nothing to do with an actual crisis, and everything to do with wanting to create one in order to spread panic.

The Moist-Adiabatic Theory vs. Reality

Climate models rely very heavily on moist adiabatic assumptions, which contributes to the persistent model-observation mismatch in the tropics, why?

Poultry Farmer Debunks Sainsbury’s Brown Egg Ban

I suspect that Sainsbury’s ban has more to do with the fact that breeds such as White Star need less feed, and are therefore cheaper to produce, thus enabling Sainsbury’s to squeeze a little more profit out of the farmer.

Consider exaggerating natural weather to the point of fanaticism. It is about control. Most Americans will simply say, ” Live the life the way you want. Most leftists say you have to live your life the way I want, because I am right, and for the good of the whole, you must obey. The other part is the people who eventually get overrun, who are just trying to live their lives and don’t care about the whole issue, whatever it is.

Can US and India Forge a ‘Big, Beautiful’ Energy Deal?

A U.S.-India alliance would strike at the heart of the corrupt climate lobby. By trading massive quantities of fossil fuels, it would break a stranglehold on energy policy that climate alarmists have long sought to make permanent.

The Rice Catastrophe Paper and the RCP 8.5 Rug-Pull

Rice has fed civilizations through the Holocene Climatic Optimum, the mid-Holocene warm spike, the Medieval Warm Period, and the Little Ice Age. The paper’s own author concedes that aggregate production can be maintained. The paper’s own introduction acknowledges that adaptation is already masking the warming that has occurred. And the paper’s thirty-times figure rests on a scenario that no longer exists in the literature.

POLITICO: ‘Climate hushing’ – ‘The sound of (climate) silence’ – ‘As Trump unravels U.S. climate policy, Dems & enviro groups have grown strangely quiet’ – Dems ‘may not aggressively pursue climate action if they win back power’

But experts worry the shift in Democrats’ rhetoric means they may not aggressively pursue climate action if they win back power in Washington. The road is already uphill: the Trump administration has terminated grants for climate research, brain-drained federal work on the issue and floated draconian cuts to satellites and other programs to monitor the Earth’s climate.

Climate Change Weekly # 581— It’s Hurricane Season, and Nothing Is New

It’s hurricane season again, and a few things about it are as certain as death and taxes. First, some named storms, tropical storms, hurricanes, and cyclones will form somewhere, sometime, in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Second, one or more of those storms will cause some degree of damage in some country or another. Third, at one point or another during the hurricane season some media outlet, mainstream or social media only, will claim one or more hurricanes were caused by or made more likely by climate change.

If This Lawsuit Succeeds, Global Business Changes Overnight

The U.S. benefits enormously from an open global economy and from the rule of law. Both depend on predictability. If courts blur the distinction between parent corporations and foreign subsidiaries, disregard sovereign objections from allied governments, and create liability untethered from direct operational control, the result will not be greater justice. It will be greater uncertainty. And uncertainty is the enemy of investment, development and international cooperation alike.

Chevron Launches New Sign Campaign Targeting Sacramento as California Gas Prices Hit New Highs

As companies push back and scale operations in response to these policies, they are highlighting the essential role they play in keeping the state moving and raising important questions about whether current regulatory approaches are driving up costs and undermining energy reliability rather than supporting practical, balanced solutions.

UK sustainable aviation fuel mandate to cost RAF £1bn

By 2040, ministers say 22 per cent of aviation fuel must come from sustainable sources, even though official projections show it will still be almost twice as expensive as conventional fuel by that date.

Germany’s AfD Party Calls Debunked Climate Scenarios “Greatest Fraud in Human History”

AfD climate spokesperson Karsten Hilse described the scenario as an implausible “horror scenario” and “the greatest fraud in human history”, arguing that it had been used for years to generate panic and justify expensive climate measures, and had even influenced the Federal Constitutional Court’s draconian 2021 climate ruling.

Photo ops are easy, turning the wheels is another matter

The world is wobbling crazily as current events threaten to dismantle decades worth of supply chain stability. There is a palpable sense among regular people that action is required. Because those regular people are voicing such thoughts, it is political instinct to reflect them back just like a parrot.

Analysis: China-backed litigators crippling Louisiana energy

Stricter enforcement of the FARA law and its transparency requirements could also act as a deterrent against green pressure groups in league with China and other hostile foreign actors. Until then, states can play a valuable role in filling the void. Earlier this year, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas enacted “Baby FARA” laws calling on individuals and entities operating in league with foreign governments to disclose these relationships.
