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?

No, New York Times, Climate Change Is Not Making Tennis Players Ill
The NYT’s desperation to turn a story about players losing matches due to illness or the intensity of the game in tough conditions into a climate change story just goes to show that climate realists currently hold the advantage point. Alarmists seem worried that any lost opportunity to mention climate change will result in game, set, match for realists.

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.

The Climate Scam Is Acknowledged. Americans Were Fed Lies, and Deserve to Be Compensated.
The time is ripe for a serious accounting of the harm done to Americans by climate hysteria, considering how many mea culpas are now emerging. The latest to line up with at least some nod to truth and accuracy is the New York Times, the leading “mainstream” media proponent of climate change nonsense.

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.

Pressure Causes Temperature? It’s Time to Climb Down from “Mount Stupid”
There was a recent weeks-long exchange of emails between many climate people — professional and amateur — regarding the idea that air pressure (in combination with absorbed solar energy) is what causes temperature.

The ‘Dr Willie Soon got $1.2 million from Exxon’ Accusation … just got an increment more dicey
See the way nothing lines up right here? On top of all of that, the accusation itself has no merit. Dr Soon can readily explain how the Smithsonian was in charge of whatever donations he got toward his work, and not a single one of these critics has the science expertise to dispute his climate assessments.

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.

No, Climate Central, Summer Warming Isn’t Due to Climate Change
The Urban Heat Island is a primary factor in urban warming trends, not the footnote that Climate Central treats it as. Before attributing summer warming in 221 cities to human fossil fuel use, Climate Central should first ensure that what they are measuring is a long-term atmospheric temperature trend, not the bias from urban asphalt and artificial heat sources.

UK Climate Change Committee’s Latest Weather Witterings Indicate Met Office Chief Should Step Down
But the dam burst of RCP8.5 cannot be stemmed. Years of promoting a set of assumptions that were always implausible – an insult to the intelligence, some might add – to ratchet up the Net Zero fantasy requires at the very least a fulsome apology, followed by a withdrawal of all RCP8.5-corrupted data and major changes in the top hierarchy

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.

RCP 8.5 was used to say Gila monsters would be decimated by climate change, that climate change would spread lethal fungal outbreaks around the world, that climate change would cause a dramatic uptick in deaths from sedentary lifestyles, and The Daily Mail went so far as to create AI generated apocalyptic images of the world’s future all based on RCP 8.5 projections.
