The narrative that ultra-processed foods high in fat and sugar can be as addictive as drugs of abuse based on their potential to elicit an outsized dopamine response in brain reward regions was not supported by our data.”Re Posted From: OOPS —UPFs are Not AddictiveWatts Up With That . . . [More]

Claim: Renewables are Cheaper Because of Fuel Volatility

The presenters at the meeting were carefully chosen to further the Hochul Administration’s narrative that all is well with the Climate Act. Consider, for example, the presentation by Jeff Freedman to the Planning Board. His main research focus is on “renewable energy and atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) processes” so his bias is towards renewable energy virtues. He has no energy sector experience that qualifies him to claim that “renewable energy can reduce costs” He was a spokesman because of his adherence to the narrative.Re Post . . . [More]

Science Magazine Unfairly Attacks the Journal of the Academy of Public Health

Only two days after the Journal of the Academy of Public Health's official launch, Science Magazine criticised it in a news item. A scientist I had recommended as a member of our Academy wrote to me that the fact that Science feared our new journal suggested that we were on the right track.Re Posted From: Science Magazine Unfairly Attacks the Journal of the Academy of Public HealthWatts Up With That . . .

GBE To Pay £200 Million For Solar Panels on Schools

Miliband is bragging that school budgets will be boosted because of these saving. This however is a sleight of hand � it is merely using taxpayer money in GBE to pay some of the school costs, instead of allocating them to the Education Dept.Re Posted From: GBE To Pay £200 Million For Solar Panels on SchoolsWatts Up With That . . .

Artificial intelligence (AI) making strides in the world of weather forecasting…European Center fo

The European Center for Medium-Range Forecasting (ECMWF) has made its Artificial Intelligence Forecasting System (AIFS) the first such fully operational weather prediction model that uses machine learning and artificial intelligence. Making such a system operational means that it is openly available and has 24/7 support for the meteorological community. This AIFS can produce a wide range of output parameters including winds, temperatures, and details on precipitation types from snow to rain. The AIFS currently has a grid spacing of 28 km and, a . . . [More]

Climate Collapse in 52 Glorious Days: Common Sense, Courtesy of Trump

So, to Trump’s team: bravo. In just 52 days, you’ve inspired more genuine reform, more reevaluation of flawed premises, and more public discussion than a decade of carbon tax conferences ever achieved. If the reactions from the climate alarmist media are this apocalyptic, it’s a clear sign you’re doing something right.Re Posted From: Climate Collapse in 52 Glorious Days: Common Sense, Courtesy of TrumpWatts Up With That . . .

Sorry, ABC News, Early Cherry Blossom Bloom Is Due to Urban Heat Island, Not Climate Change

ABC News ignores the research and data which strongly suggests that the UHI is wholly responsible for earlier spring peak cherry blossom blooms, due to fewer late season frosts and warmer average nighttime temperatures. But, of course, this is in line with narrative that the mainstream media pushes concerning climate change, that it causes everything bad. The facts may not support this, but then the facts don’t inspire a compelling news story, which is all that ABC and other outlets seem to really care about — generating public interest, a . . .
