1) Claims of 185 mph winds were based solely on hurricane hunter aircraft data.
2) Based on the central pressure of 910 MB, wind speeds would be expected to be 165 mph. This is how wind speeds were calculated prior to aircraft and satellite data.
Honourable Mr Justice Giaschi ruled that Mann’s multi-million-dollar, eight-year libel suit is “dismissed with prejudice” due to Mann’s “inexcusable delay.” (see: Para. 13).
Abstract: Personal observations made at the top of Mary’s Mountain OR and from other sources are reviewed and compared with the data seen in Picture 1.
One conclusion is that condensation nuclei, which are silicates (sand), are hygroscopic (form weak, relative to the strong attractions of atoms to each other in molecules, attractions with water molecules) and therefore cause cloud droplets to form, as the air temperature cools, well before the relative humidity of the environmental atmosphere becomes 100{154653b9ea5f83bbbf00f55de12e21cba2da5b4b158a426ee0e27ae0c1b44117}.
The recent threats by Beijing to cut off American access to critical mineral imports has many Americans wondering why our politicians have allowed the United States to become so overly dependent on China for these valued resources in the first place.
Emergent Plate Climatology theory gets a boost from a new study from the University of California with a new paper titled, ‘Hydrothermal carbon release to the ocean and atmosphere from the
eastern equatorial Pacific during the last glacial termination.’ [1]
Achieving strength and extensibility at the same time has so far been a great challenge in material engineering: increasing strength has meant losing extensibility and vice versa. Now Aalto University and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland researchers have succeeded in overcoming this challenge, inspired by nature.
Greenland’s ice sheet mass losses have significantly decelerated since 2013 – a reversal from the rapid retreat from the 1990s to 2012 driven by cloud forcing and the NAO (Ruan et al., 2019).
The post-2013 “relatively stable” ice sheet even gained mass during 2017-’18 (Andersen et al., 2019).
For decades, the solar industry benefited from generous federal, state, and local subsidies to increase its footprint. Yet these generous subsidies ignore the costs of disposal of solar panel waste.
Things may be changing. In May 2018, Michael Shellenberger, a Time Magazine “Hero of the Environment” and Green Book Award Winner, wrote in Forbes that the problem of solar panel disposal will explode with full force in two or three decades and wreck the environment because it is a huge amount of waste which is not easy to recycle.
Of the 102 current computer models used to predict what the climate will do in the future, 101 of them have what is known as ‘climate sensitivity’ far too high.
The previous CMIP5 models had sensitivity such that they were producing up to three times as much warming as is being observed.
Propertarianism has a brilliant solution for fixing academia and stopping what has happened with climate alarmism from ever occurring again…and so much more.

Young people are writing to us expressing enormous anxiety triggered by the relentless climate alarmist propaganda in the media. As always, we offer reasoned scientific reassurance.
One example, (name withheld) has prompted us to post this article to rebuke the junk science claims, and to shame the idiotic purveyors of doom.

Computer models of the climate are at the heart of calls to ban the cheap, reliable energy that powers our thriving economy and promotes healthier, longer lives.
For decades, these models have projected dramatic warming from small, fossil-fueled increases in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, with catastrophic consequences.

RALEIGH — A seven-month investigation and numerous public information requests have revealed the move to increase solar power might be leading to an increase in the very emissions alternative energy sources aim to reduce.
