Climate researchers, advocates and journalists involved in the bogus RCP8.5 not only haven't admitted their mistakes, they're now fibbing that it wasn't a prediction or presented as likely. So we now know they're doubly untrustworthy.

Thanks to new study from NoTricksZone we now have some insight into summertime rainfall levels on the Tibetan Plateau all the way back to 1720, based on tree ring reconstructions. And what do you know, droughts and floods are not new hazards after all. Who knew? Oh right. Us.

While all the extra CO2 in the makes many Canadian tree huggers unhappy, the mighty Tsuga canadensis (L.) Carr. aka eastern hemlock or Canadian hemlock is as happy as a towering conifer can be. 3 studies in 1990 and 1997 say 300 ppm more CO2 boosted growth an average of 34%.

In many areas of life, the devil is famously in the details. Hence former banking executive Parker Gallant’s vigilance about the deliberately baffling absurdities of the power system in Ontario. And it's not better elsewhere.

The relentless march of wind turbines reminds us of H.G. Wells’ War of the Worlds. Others evidently find these 3-headed monsters a pleasing alternative to boring old trees, clouds, fields and all that rubbish. But even they may balk at glittering fields of solar panels.

This week we consider how zealots say "extreme weather is intensifying", the Canada-Alberta Memorandum of Verbiage, how many major projects are sitting in the MPO inbox, federal investments in sewage plants for climate adaptation, and more.

Climate science means never having to say you’re wrong. For instance about how you spent years misleading the public by calling RCP8.5 a business-as-usual baseline rather than an extreme outlier scenario. They're busted... but instead of fessing up they’re digging in.

Hope springs eternal when it comes to new energy sources. At the moment it's geothermal, where David Gelles of the New York Times “Climate Forward” claims there’s gold in them thar hills that will make us all rich. Or not.

Climate alarmists frequently claim global warming due to man-made GHGs is “simple physics”. While knowing little or nothing of the often mind-boggling equations. But yes, one thing is simple: in science you should to test theories against evidence.

Wrapping up our look at last summer’s DOE contrarian climate report, which is looking less contrarian and more prescient as time goes by, we turn to Chapter 11 on the global impact of US emission policies. Including the crucial scale problem.

A few years ago we ran an “Everybody Knows“ series going over all the mistaken climate clichés journalists glibly repeat because everyone they know thinks so. We can now add to the list the claim that extreme temperatures in the US are getting worse and worse. https://t.co/3aSu4NbtM6

Believe it or not this week’s specimen is known as Hellroot... and worse. Understandably, as it’s a parasite, pest, prohibited plant and generally hideous weed worldwide. And fortunately, if oddly, our carbon sins don’t seem to benefit it.

In public affairs the defeat of one trendy folly just clears the way for another. So while sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof, it also pays to look ahead to a war on plastic that seems poised to pick up where climate alarmism leaves off.

As Canada boldly leverages its strategic transformational low-carbon pivot, Honda pivots away from a commitment to build an EV plant in Ontario despite $5 billion in promised subsidies. And our government has known since January but didn't bother telling us lest it cause talk.

This week we mull over the fact that one single hurricane produces more energy than the US generates in a year, a Harvard University study which showed that solar and wind energy alone cannot meet American electricity use, Canada's $90 billion high-speed rail project and more.

Canary Media says the everything company that once sold books has seen the light unlike the rest of us: “Amazon bets on what could be a game-changing heat pump”. Unless it's not. At CDN we're not hostile to new energy systems... if they work. But we dislike gullible hype.

Canada’s “Food Professor”, Sylvain Charlebois of Dalhousie University, serves up a thick slice of reality with regard to Net Zero and the war in the Middle East. His dish relies on the simple recipe that making energy scarce makes food expensive.

A certain kind of grandiose geopolitical theorizing has been derided as “flinging continents about” in disregard of intractable practical obstacles in the real world. And it can and should also be said of politicians who cruise about in jet airplanes flinging economies about.

In this week’s deep dive into last summer’s contrarian US Department of Energy climate report we look at Section 11.2, Models of the Social Cost of Carbon or SCC, a superficially impressive way of making the assumptions of zealots look like mathematics.

A new study on tropical cyclones (TCs) in the Western North Pacific (WNP) looked at the available data on landfalling TC activity from 1980 to 2023 and reported on the trends. Or, as it turned out, lack thereof.
