New Study: Corals Thrived When Global Sea Levels Were Meters Higher Than Today 6000 Years Ago

Coral reefs expand and thrive as sea levels rise, whereas they undergo millennia of growth hiatuses and “turn-off” or “mass mortality” phases when sea levels fall.Re Posted From: New Study: Corals Thrived When Global Sea Levels Were Meters Higher Than Today 6000 Years AgoWatts Up With That . . .

The Hill Misleads, Trump’s Energy Policy Won’t Damage the Climate and Will Advance American Inte

Almost every claim made in Becker’s article in The Hill is provably wrong. The post is long on hyperbole and misinformation, but short on facts and data. Real world weather data shows no increase in extreme weather, incidences of weather disasters, or weather disaster costs as a percentage of economic growth. Trump’s reliability focused, America First, energy policy will not harm our energy security or the planet, but it will buttress the United States against the hostile intentions of any foreign government that might use our dependence . . .

More Evidence on Vapor Pressure Deficit, Cloud Reduction, and Climate Change

CO2 and VPD are confounded.  To understand and manage climate change science needs to find out which one is in charge.  Man knew about CO2 and its greenhouse properties before cloud reduction was observed and the VPD and ET relationship in the CRGW theory was proposed.  Therefore, it is understandable that CO2 theory occupies the bulk of climate change scientific discussion.  To be fair to the “scientific method” alternate theories should be scientifically discussed to allow a theory to rise to the top or die of their own lack of scient . . .

Wake up call for UK energy planners

Magical thinking about energy may not hold up much longer in the UK.  Disagreements between European nations may scuttle plans for an integrated energy policy and with it the UK fantasy of attaining net zero.  Central to the thinking of energy planners in the UK is the hope that an affordable solution to energy storage will magically appear. Batteries, green hydrogen storage and pumped hydropower storage are all hopelessly impractical and uneconomical. As a result, planners have eyed the vast hydropower potential of Norway.
