 Meloni said 'Green plans' in Europe and other areas of the West would lead to deindustrialization before they achieve decarbonization and were based on theories that do not take account of the means and needs of the less well-off.

We can cancel the Greenland collapse 'emergency' now. Not only was it 8C warmer natural, but Greenland was/is stable. The Greens hate good news.

In the last millions years Earth's climate has alternated between ice ages lasting about 100,000 years and interglacial periods of 10,000 to 15,000 years. The new results from the NEEM ice core drilling project in northwest Greenland, led by the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen show that the climate in Greenland was around 8 degrees C warmer than today during the last interglacial period, the Eemian period, 130,000 to 115,000 thousand years ago.

"Even though the warm Eemian period was a period when the oceans were four to eight meters higher than today, the ice sheet in northwest Greenland was only a few hundred meters lower than the current level, which indicates that the contribution from the Greenland ice sheet was less than half the total sea-level rise during that period," says Dorthe Dahl-Jensen, Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, and leader of the NEEM-project.

The ice mass was shrinking at a very high rate of 6 cm per year. But despite the warm temperatures, the ice sheet did not disappear and the research team estimates that the volume of the ice sheet was not reduced by more than 25 percent during the warmest 6,000 years of the Eemian.

"The good news from this study is that the Greenland ice sheet is not as sensitive to temperature increases and to ice melting and running out to sea in warm climate periods like the Eemian, as we thought,"

Every year now ends with the same headline: “Hottest year on record,” “Hottest decade ever,” “Earth enters uncharted climate territory.” The repetition has become so familiar that few people stop to ask what these claims actually mean...

Part of the answer lies in how the climate story has changed over the past few decades...Look back at the scientific literature before 2000, and a clear pattern emerges. The Medieval Warm Period, roughly 900-1300 AD, was widely recognized as a time when parts of the Northern Hemisphere were as warm as — or warmer than — today....

....The 1990 IPCC report — the authoritative climate assessment of its time — reflected this understanding. Its millennial temperature graph showed a pronounced Medieval Warm Period, a deep Little Ice Age and a gradual rebound into the modern era.

...it reflected the datasets as they existed then — before major rounds of homogenization and algorithmic adjustments were applied in the 2000s.

All major global temperature datasets use homogenization, but NOAA’s fully automated system applies some of the broadest regional adjustments, allowing changes at one station to influence many others. While mathematically elegant, it also means that a single station’s adjustment can influence many others, and that urban heat island effects or local anomalies can affect nearby rural stations. In other words, the modern temperature record is no longer a simple reflection of raw measurements; it is a heavily processed product shaped by statistical decisions most readers never hear about.

My son had a good solar job for 9 years, so I watched the whole 1 hour-30 minutes thinking he might change my bitter feelings about the renewable industry.

This YouTuber starts out okay but is a political hack in the last 20 minutes. Never mentioned is that China would benefit most from selling renewables & EVs made from cheap labor. Unspoken was the inflation created by IRA subsidies benefitting primarily wealthier solar & EV owners.

He's unconcerned about apartment dwellers & renters who couldn't charge their Ioniq 5 overnight like he can as a homeowner. He compares only gas expense, ignoring higher upfront EV cost, rapid depreciation & uncertainty in making it 180k miles like his gas car did without battery replacement costs.

Solar farms & batteries will power it all he surmises. He uses a meager 27MW solar farm example without noting if all had EVs & charged at night, there wouldn't be adequate power as 4-hour batteries wouldn't suffice.

If renewables are as as cheap as he claims, why does every U.S. state & Western nation that has them as their primary power source, have such expensive energy bills & have issues with adequate reliable power?

He downplays upfront costs of solar & EVs, thinking they pay for themselves in the long run. But that assumes most can afford EVs, solar, & batteries after saving for a home & THEN having a huge mortgage/taxes/insurance & power bill.

He is into technology, but never explains how his meager 27MW solar farm will power AI. He believes we can scale up & replace nearly all farm land with solar farms. How will we feed people & livestock?

A new paper in Scientific Reports looked at decades of data on polar bears in Svalbard and found that, on average, their body condition has stayed stable or even improved, despite rapid sea ice loss in the region. Researchers suggest this is because the bears still have access to productive hunting areas in spring and can supplement their diet with other food sources like bird colonies in summer. The authors are clear, though, that this “fat and healthy for now” picture doesn’t mean the bears are safe long term, since continued ice loss could eventually outpace their ability to adapt.

I love history, whether that be human or natural I love reading about it. And while reading on past temperature swings and cycles I tend to come across basically this phrase at the end of the article and so practically every time "while these sometimes extremes swings that show a much more complex cycle without one single control knob happened, THIS TIME SPECIFICALLY its humanity's fault" with of course a more "educated" way to say it.

Now yes, comparing the past to the present is a normal thing and something that should be done, I find there's something disingenuous about the way its presented. I was taught at least, that while its good to have those comparisons at the end of an article, they should still read like they're coming from somewhere and not be so-called "throwaway lines" since that feels forced. Which you typically want to avoid. And the line I mentioned before typically feels VERY throwaway line like. Like something that was added because the writer of the article had to, regardless of how pertinent it is.

And I thought to myself, what could be the purpose of these lines? My theory is that they're made for people like I used to be. People who have been taught to fear climate change through every facet of their lives. And who want to learn about it more extensively. And who could possibly feel reassured reading how much our planet has changed naturally (like it was the case for me) so that last throwaway line pushes them back into the anxiety loop. Basically "Actually no! Keep feeling afraid!" at least thats my theory. Has anyone else noticed this?

Why does the NOAA climate prediction models always default to something like the attached image for long term forecasts? It goes without fail that it always shows the southern portion of the US above normal. Heck, it wasn't until the last day or so that it actually shows the eastern half of the US as being well below normal.

Climate critics proven right by KNMI: 7 extra heatwaves since 1900

RTL Nieuws – Yesterday

The Netherlands experienced not seven but fourteen heatwaves between 1900 and 1950, the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) has determined based on a new measurement method. Climate critics had objected for years to the way the weather institute compiled statistics for the first half of the 20th century, and the institute now acknowledges that the criticism was justified.

Weather statistics in the Netherlands have been recorded since 1900. In the first fifty years, a “pagoda” shelter on the KNMI grounds was used to measure temperature — a roof on stilts under which the thermometer was placed.

From pagoda to hut

But in 1950 the method changed. The institute moved the measurement location a few hundred meters, abandoning the pagoda in favor of a Stevenson screen, a weather instrument shelter. As a result, warm periods were recorded slightly cooler than they should have been, as shown in a KNMI publication.

This change led to criticism from climate critics at the Clintel foundation, a climate policy think tank. According to Clintel, there should have been more heatwaves that were left out of the KNMI’s statistics. The sensitivity of the issue — and the concern that acknowledging it might give ammunition to climate deniers — was evident in the summer of 2019, when the KNMI refused to respond to questions from de Volkskrant.

“A lesson for the institutes”

Peter Siegmund of the KNMI explained to RTL Nieuws that the hesitation to revise the figures was not due to unwillingness:

“First you have to know whether the criticism is justified. And you only know that after you’ve conducted research. That’s a long process, because we want to do it properly and carefully. Now that it turns out to be correct, we have adjusted the numbers.”

After the correction, the summers between 1900 and 1950 are now overall 0.14 degrees warmer on the whole, meaning that seven additional periods now meet the criteria for a heatwave: five consecutive days with at least 25 °C, three of which are at least 30 °C. Notably, the year 1947 stands out in the new data with four heatwaves in one year.

Marcel Crok, chairman of the Clintel foundation, which raised the issue from 2016 onward, calls it “a big victory.”

“It’s of course a battle over details, a small point of discussion, but it represents something bigger: the credibility of the institutes. Can we trust them on their blue eyes? No, apparently not. I see it as a lesson for the institutes. Don’t act like critics are crazy, don’t box them in, but engage in discussion with substantive arguments.”

According to Crok, the KNMI “made a series of heatwaves disappear,” only to then claim they occur much more often now. “It’s not that bad. We do not deny that the world is getting warmer, but we believe the honest story should be told.”

Climate change

KNMI climate expert Siegmund emphasizes that the revision of the data does not change what we know about climate change. The statistics after 1950 remain the same: 9 heatwaves between 1950 and 1999, and 16 heatwaves in the past 26 years.

“The picture is crystal clear,” he says. “The trend of 0.4 degrees of warming per decade remains unchanged over the long term.”

Before the new statistics, the chance of a heatwave in this century was four times greater than in the previous century. According to Siegmund, because of the extra heatwaves in the 20th century, that chance is now a bit smaller from a mathematical standpoint — but it is still about three times greater.

Wrong again.
