Don’t clap yourself on the back too hard.
I'm coming to no conclusions except that reporters and activists can not be trusted.... including activist scientists

Lying is all they've ever had. The climate change grifters lie about everything because it keeps the money coming in.


Considering how intellectually uncurious the average global warming believer is can you blame them?

Under this administration, I wouldn't be surprised if the US is the country stating climate change isn't happening and fossil fuels are great.

The guy nominated to be charge of NOAA (if he isn't already)

Quote:
Jacobs was also cited for misconduct after the "Sharpiegate" incident, in which he and other Trump-appointed NOAA officials were found to have exerted pressure on scientists to alter the forecast for 2019's Hurricane Dorian to align with misstatements made by President Trump, suggesting the hurricane would veer into Alabama. It did not, and the weather modeling had not indicated that it was likely to.

"He was found to have compromised the scientific integrity of NOAA," says Andrew Rosenberg, a former NOAA deputy director who is now a fellow of public policy at the University of New Hampshire. "I find it very unfortunate that he would be renominated because that means there's no consequence for just ignoring the science."



Duffman and Evenbob will be overseeing science research any day now.

Quote:
Under the second Trump administration, the agency's priorities are expected to change, de-emphasizing climate research and potentially rolling back environmental protections for oceans and fisheries, areas that had been prioritized during the Biden Administration.


Wonder if that paper and report happened to be done just recently after Jan 20th. lol.

The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to hear a petition from 19 Republican-led states attempting to halt lawsuits filed by five Democratic-led states. The lawsuits target major oil companies accused of long-term deceptive practices regarding climate change's impact. This ruling enables the legal battles in state courts to continue without intervention.

Lawsuits against oil companies for what? Selling gasoline?

What the oil companies should do is halt selling gasoline in those states pending the lawsuits.

Just another liberal shakedown now that tobacco settlement money is winding down.

critically short-staffed National Weather Service (NWS) appeared to issue a near-record number of tornado warnings for a single day. The combined 284 tornado warnings issued on Wednesday was exceeded only by April 2011, the biggest tornado outbreak in modern records. At times, there were so many tornado warnings that they formed a nearly continuous line stretching nearly 1,000 miles from Arkansas to Michigan.

The cold front that helped spark Wednesday’s tornadoes will slow down over the next few days, causing lines of thunderstorms to stall near the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers creating a “life-threatening, catastrophic, and potentially historic flash flood event”, according to the NWS.

Rainfall near Memphis, Tennessee, is expected to exceed 12in over the next three days, a total that is expected to recur less than once in a thousand years under a stable climate, according to a Guardian analysis of available forecast data.
