Did AccuWeather Write the Project 2025 NOAA Section?

Project 2025’s argument to restructure the NWS is not convincing. If DOGE used Project 2025 as its guidance for analyzing NOAA, it needs to rethink its approach.Re Posted From: Did AccuWeather Write the Project 2025 NOAA Section?Watts Up With That . . . [More]

Does the Air Force Own the Weather in 2025? Origins of the Chemtrail Theory

Chemtrail hysteria would not exist if not for the fact that jet contrails are visible. Cars and trucks also produce huge amounts of water vapor, which is sometimes seen as condensed water in cold or high-RH conditions. The reason they don’t persist is that at the temperatures and air pressures present at ground level, the air can hold orders of magnitude more water vapor without cloud formation than jet-altitude air can hold.Re Posted From: Does the Air Force Own the Weather in 2025?

Breaking: Greenpeace Ordered to Pay Hundreds of Millions in Dakota Pipeline Protest Lawsuit

Is this a glorious win for holding activist groups accountable when their antics go too far? You bet it is. Greenpeace had it coming, and now they’re squirming. Sure, they’ll wail about corporate overreach and appeal until the cows come home, but for now, let’s savor the moment. The Dakota Access Pipeline’s been pumping oil for years despite their tantrums, and this ruling? It’s the cherry on top.Re Posted From: Breaking: Greenpeace Ordered to Pay Hundreds of Millions in Dakota Pipeline Protest LawsuitWatts Up With That . . . [More]

Tories Abandon Net Zero

The plans for Net Zero by 2050 are impossible. We have to do better than this. That’s why as part of our policy renewal we are going to do something that Labour failed to do in 14 years of opposition. We are going to deal with reality, confront the real problems, answer the real questions and be ready with a plan.Re Posted From: Tories Abandon Net ZeroWatts Up With That . . . [More]

How a Heat Pump Destroyed One Consumer’s Perfect Energy Rating

If it wasn’t for the drastic consequences of the Net Zero policy for industry and the nation’s economy, the story would be an amusing one. As it stands, it’s painfully easy to see why fewer and fewer people are going to risk the huge cost and disruption of installing a heat pump if it means risking their properties becoming less saleable and still requiring other forms of heating to make them habitable, while funding the EPC assessor job creation scheme.Re Posted From: How a Heat Pump Destroyed One Consumer’s Perfect Energy RatingWatts . . .

Energy Fantasy Versus Reality In Woke-Land — Part III

Meanwhile, there is at least some reason to think that JPM at the highest levels has finally started to see reality and re-think its green energy commitments. Just in January, JPM quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance. Maybe by the time next year’s Report rolls around, the shackles will have been taken off Mr. Cembalest, and he can give his readers a dose of the truth.Re Posted From: Energy Fantasy Versus Reality In Woke-Land — Part IIIWatts Up With That . . .
