We Have a Fire Deficit

“Wildland fire was common and widespread across many forests and woodlands in North America prior to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In subsequent decades, fire exclusion—the practice of preventing and suppressing nearly all wildland fires—occurred as the result of the disruption of traditional burning, livestock grazing, and active suppression of human- and lightning-ignited fires.Re Posted From: We Have a Fire DeficitWatts Up With That . . .

A Thought for Your Pennies

“On Sunday night, Mr. Trump said he had ordered the Treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, to stop producing new pennies, a move that he said would help reduce unnecessary government spending. “Let’s rip the waste out of our great nations budget, even if it’s a penny at a time,” he said in a post on Truth Social, adding that pennies “literally cost us more than 2 cents.”Re Posted From: A Thought for Your PenniesWatts Up With That . . .

The Devastating Ecological Carnage Wrought by Wind Turbines

With all the learned societies and institutions continuing to turn a blind eye, it is hard to see who will step forward to draw attention to this developing ecological disaster.

Wind, Solar, Batteries: The High Cost of Duplicative Energy

“The data make it clear that the only possible rationale for renewable energy—making significant reductions of CO2 emissions—cannot be achieved.

Professor Stefan Rahmstorf and Thermodynamics

Doubters of the greenhouse effect are sometimes rightly accused of denying the climate problem. But what are Rahmstorf, Lesch and Co. doing when they reject everything except green energies, which alone are probably only very inadequately capable of solving the climate problem (as shown in January 2025), by swearing about physics?Re Posted From: Professor Stefan Rahmstorf and ThermodynamicsWatts Up With That . . .
