Wells Fargo’s decision to leave the Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) is a stark reminder that not everyone in the financial sector is willing to unquestioningly follow the climate orthodoxy. As one of the largest financiers of the fossil fuel industry, the bank’s departure highlights growing skepticism about the necessity—and even the legitimacy—of these alliances. Following on the heels of Goldman Sachs, which left the NZBA earlier this month, Wells Fargo’s exit marks a turning point for the global push toward so-called “climate finance.” Congressman Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, has characterized environmental coalitions like the NZBA as…

In July 2017, CNN and a number of other media outlets posted stories about iceberg A-68 calving off of Antarctica’s Larsen C Ice Shelf, with CNN suggesting we should be “freaked out” about it because of climate change. CNN was wrong. It was based on an incomplete understanding of iceberg formation and calving, driven by a rush to judgement to further the false climate disaster narrative. For example, CNN’s John D. Sutter wrote in this article: That huge iceberg should freak you out. Here’s why: This doesn’t NOT look like climate change. There is no disagreement among climate scientists about…

Sterling Burnett SUBSCRIBE to Climate Change Weekly IN THIS ISSUE: Bad Estimates of Solar Activity and Temperatures Undermine Climate Change Projections Ocean Emissions Cool the Climate, Forests Also Cool Oceans Remove More Carbon Dioxide Than Previously Believed Greenhouse Gasses Are Saturated, Not Causing Warming, New Study Says Bad Estimates of Solar Activity and Temperatures Undermine Climate Change Projections The Heritage Foundation recently published a paper from the leading scientists at the Center for Environmental Research and Earth Sciences (CERES) that argues the debate over the causes and consequences of climate change is not settled,…

By Gregory WischerMorgan BazilianJahara Matisek On December 3, 2024, China imposed export bans on antimony, gallium, and germanium—three elements with important defense applications. Antimony is used in over 200 munitions of the Department of Defense, ranging from 5.56 mm ammunition to 155 mm artillery rounds. Gallium is used in cutting-edge radar systems like the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense System. And germanium is used in infrared lenses for night vision and thermal imaging in naval vessels, combat vehicles, and aircraft. Beyond defense applications, these minerals are also vital for American industry and commercial technology, such as fiber optic cables.…

From the Cliff Mass Weather Blog Cliff Mass  One of the most overused terms used by the media is “atmospheric river”.   Yes, even more hyped than “bomb cyclone.”     But this week there will be an atmospheric river worth noting…and I will discuss below. Atmospheric River Overuse Although the term, atmospheric river, was first used in the late 1990s, the phenomenon was well-known for decades before that: a plume of warm, moist air leading cold fronts associated with midlatitude cyclones. Virtually every midlatitude cyclone/low center has such a plume of moist air.   To see how omni-present atmospheric rivers are, below…

The National Corn Growers Association said that producers earned a major victory today in the long-running dispute with Mexico over genetically engineered corn trade. The organization reported that a dispute panel ruled that Mexico violated its commitments under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement when it issued a decree that banned genetically modified corn imports. The decision was met with praise from the NCGA and other corn grower advocates who had called on the United States Trade Representative to file the dispute. “This is an incredible development for the nation’s corn growers and rural communities,” said Illinois farmer and NCGA President Kenneth…

For the past two years, headlines, policy statements, and social media feeds have been flooded with dire warnings about rising ocean temperatures. Every uptick in the graphs was treated as irrefutable proof of humanity’s march toward ecological collapse. The news cycle offered little room for nuance, and as usual, the loudest voices declared the end was nigh. But a recent tweet from Javier Viños, supported by a graph of global sea surface temperatures (SST), reminds us how quickly climate “emergencies” dissolve when confronted with even the faintest hint of natural variability. Viños’s tweet is remarkable in its simplicity and restraint.…
