Quote of the Week: “When you begin doubting, identical to you’re alleged to doubt. You ask me if the science is true and we are saying ‘No, no, we don’t know what’s true, we’re looking for out, all the things is probably fallacious’ … While you doubt and ask it will get a little bit tougher to imagine. I can dwell with doubt and uncertainty and never realizing. I believe it’s way more attention-grabbing to dwell not realizing, than to have solutions which could be fallacious.” —Richard Feynman (1981) [H/t Javier Vinós & Andy May]
Variety of the Week: Over 21 Billion Tons
THIS WEEK:
By Ken Haapala, President, Science and Environmental Coverage Venture (SEPP)
Scope: The top of summer season within the Northern Hemisphere should carry on the foolish season – unsupported claims of what might have been or might be. SEPP board member David Legates addresses the declare that the world’s rivers are drying up from carbon dioxide-caused local weather change. Utilizing bodily proof, he exhibits that claims that the US west is experiencing the worst drought in human historical past are absurd. The identical applies to rivers in Europe and China.
Sadly, Pakistan is experiencing vital floods and carbon dioxide-caused local weather change is blamed, as if such flooding has not occurred earlier than. Yr-to-year modifications within the monsoon seasons aren’t local weather change.
The poorly named Science Advances printed by the now-lobbying group American Affiliation for the Development of Science (AAAS) had an article claiming that CO2-caused local weather change will increase the chance of a California megaflood, much like one which occurred within the winter of 1861-62. Meteorologist Cliff Mass addresses the varied components that converged to create that flood, and that none of those components is made extra doubtless by growing CO2.
Nature Local weather Change printed an article that a rise in melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet will trigger the ocean ranges to rise severely. Individually, Anthony Watts and Paul Homewood level out the folly of the assumptions made within the article. Poor assumptions don’t make good science.
The conflict in Ukraine is threatening a nuclear energy plant in Ukraine. Within the Wall Avenue Journal, Holman Jenkins discusses the folly of utilizing the mathematical linear no threshold mannequin that produces absurd outcomes to judge nuclear energy crops. Many nuclear companies are responsible of making worry past any affordable concern.
Internet Zero Watch produced a paper questioning the usage of flawed local weather fashions for evaluating monetary dangers. Not one of the fashions utilized by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Local weather Change (IPCC) has been rigorously examined. The problem is the distinction between precision and accuracy. The results of a mannequin could also be very exact, however that doesn’t imply that it’s correct (dependable and sensible).
Jo Nova brings up an attention-grabbing article on pure plasticity of forests. They will adapt to warming. She additionally discusses a ten-year examine of a mid-Pacific coral atoll which has been severely bleached twice however is flourishing. One other instance of pure plasticity which has occurred over hundreds of thousands of years but ignored by many “specialists.”
The Canadian Prime Minister was requested to increase exports of liquified pure fuel (LNG) to Europe and stated Nyet (No), sacrificing a terrific alternative to assist in the European power disaster.
In a political speech, President Biden referred to as a political group semi-Fascist. Fascism has particular traits, a few of which TWTW will tackle.
********************
Drying Rivers: Writing in The American Thinker, David Legates addresses the false worry promoted by CNN that “the Colorado, Yangtze, Rhine, Po, Loire, and Danube are dwindling on account of ‘a painful lack of rain and relentless warmth waves.’” Though the rivers are in a low movement situation, human use locations calls for on water amplifying low movement circumstances which occur by means of historical past. For the Colorado we now have vital bodily proof that the “drying up” is extra a situation of overuse of water than lack of rain. Legates writes:
“The Colorado River is cited as the primary instance, and, though CNN attributes its drying to the ‘historic drought within the US West,’ they don’t counsel that this drought is human induced. They do point out, nevertheless, that ‘round 40 million folks in seven states and Mexico depend on the river’s water for consuming, agriculture and electrical energy.’ However an analysis of the present circumstances from the USGS Nationwide Water Dashboard signifies, as proven beneath, that many stream gauge stations in western Colorado and Utah are close to regular, and in New Mexico and Arizona, they’re above and far above regular.”
“In actual fact, the twentieth Century was the wettest century of the previous millennium. Lake Mead (highlighted by the CNN article) is drying up, not as a result of the streamflow within the area has gone to close zero, however, as College of Alabama local weather scientist Roy Spencer exhibits, as a result of the inhabitants of the ‘desert’ has grown a lot that the water sources of the area can’t assist the water demand.
“Subsequent, the CNN article focuses on the Yangtze River in central China. The controversial Three Gorges Dam lies on the Yangtze River, and operation of the dam significantly impacts the water ranges of each the upstream and downstream parts of the river. Three Gorges Dam is the world’s largest hydroelectric dam, but it surely additionally serves to boost the delivery potential of the Yangtze River by controlling streamflow and decreasing flood potential for downstream communities. It has adversely affected the panorama and ecology of the area, which is why it has develop into extremely controversial, each domestically and internationally.”
“For the Rhine, wetland restoration within the German mountains has had an influence on summer season movement, notably as a result of ‘the recession movement following the peaks is increased’ (i.e., the lower in movement following the flood peak is elevated), which might, in keeping with Wetlands Worldwide, trigger the water to empty sooner, thereby making a low movement sooner. The Po, too, is low on account of a drought, however its movement was decrease seventy years in the past — nicely earlier than purportedly artifical international warming took maintain. The impact of draining wetlands and in depth industrialization additionally has had an impact on the river. Euronews reported an skilled’s view that whereas the Loire is ‘drier than regular this yr,’ a few of the pictures of the Loire ‘are a minimum of a dramatisation of the state of affairs.’ And the Danube in Romania is affected by in depth city land improvement, the lack of flood plains, and deforestation. All three will exacerbate floods however lower the movement throughout low movement circumstances as little water exists in transit to the river to maintain the movement when rainfall is low.”
Essentially the most devastating criticism is CNN’s comparability of 2022 aerial pictures to 2021. A year-to-year variation is climate, not local weather change.
In a separate put up, Tony Heller mentions that agriculture is the dominant use of water in Colorado, the most important Higher Basin beneficiary of the Colorado River Compact (52% of seven.5-million-acre ft/yr, California will get 59% of the 7.5-million-acre ft/yr allotted to the Decrease Basin. As Legates signifies, the allocations are too excessive, developed throughout a moist period.
In 2021 in Colorado, “cattle and calves high the record of the state’s agricultural commodities, with dairy merchandise, corn, hay and wheat following carefully behind.” Corn for biofuels is attention-grabbing as a result of it’s closely sponsored, an intense consumer of water and fully unneeded. A 2010 examine talked about by Heller has amongst its conclusions:
“Among the fuels which have been promoted by authorities insurance policies have larger-than-average water consumption, particularly biofuels for transportation fuels. Corn ethanol has by far the very best water consumption of any gasoline analyzed, largely on account of irrigation throughout the corn-growing stage. A mandated transfer to superior biofuels (cellulosic ethanol) may carry biofuels water utilization nearer to that of different fuels—these applied sciences are at present unproven on a industrial scale”
Because of hydraulic fracturing, directional drilling, and the exploration and improvement of deep-water sources within the Gulf of Mexico, huge subsidies for biofuels, photo voltaic and wind energy aren’t wanted in North America. Solely false fears promoted by governments maintain the subsidies flowing.

Shifting Intertropical Convergence Zone? The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) modifications from but to yr for causes not well-known. The ITCZ has lengthy been identified by sailors because the “doldrums” or “the calms” as a result of within the days of crusing ships sailors would expertise weeks and months of monotonous windless climate. In components of the world the ITCZ merges with monsoonal circulation. Often, monsoons are related to moist climate, however they’re accountable for dry climate as nicely. The method has been occurring for hundreds of thousands of years and no relationship with carbon dioxide has been established.
Thus, it’s unusual that leaders of Pakistan, which has various monsoons, are accusing the US of adjusting the climate by emitting carbon dioxide inflicting tons of of deaths from flooding. They may accuse China which emits over two occasions the CO2 than the US, however it’s unlikely that the leaders of China would reply sympathetically.
The East African monsoon system can be shifting, bringing drought in addition to meals issues to the horn of Africa. A minimum of they don’t seem to be accusing the “Whale of Pakistan” for inflicting these issues. See Altering Climate and https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/70155254.
********************
The Nice Flood: From December 1861 to January 1862 repeated atmospheric rivers introduced huge rains and snows to Oregon, Nevada, and California. Nothing of that magnitude has been recorded since. Sacramento within the Central Valley, which continuously flooded, was flooded for months and the state capital was quickly moved to San Francisco.
Meteorologist Cliff Mass systematically takes aside an article printed in Science Advances claiming that CO2-caused local weather change will increase the possibilities of such a terrific flood (termed an ARk Storm) of recurring. (The reference to Noah’s ark is apparent,) Based on Mass:
“The one ARk storm within the historic report occurred throughout December 1861/January 1862 in California, over a interval of about 30 days. 2-3 ft of rain fell over a lot of central California, with much more in some mountain areas, on account of roughly a half-dozen excessive atmospheric river occasions. This heavy rain was accompanied by above-normal temperatures, melting snowpack, and a comparatively moist interval prior.
“Bigger areas of the inside of California had been flooded. There was in depth lack of life and injury to buildings and farms.
“This sort of excessive, prolonged flooding occasion in California has occurred many occasions earlier than, with proof supplied by layers of sediments within the coastal zone. Such occasions seem to happen each few hundred years.”
The Science Advances paper is predicated on untested international local weather fashions assuming the very best charges of CO2 emissions. Any relationship between CO2 concentrations and rainfall just isn’t nicely established.
Additional Mass exhibits the outcomes of the fashions are inconsistent with observations.
“Based on their mannequin outcomes, the frequency and amplitude of massive, multi-week precipitation occasions ought to have already got been growing.
“Observations don’t present that. There isn’t a proof of a rise in heavy precipitation occasions and even modifications in annual precipitation in California. Which means one thing is fallacious with their mannequin simulations.”
After citing additional bodily proof Mass concludes:
“However keep in mind, it takes greater than extra moisture to provide an ARk storm: you needn’t solely record-breaking atmospheric rivers however to have a number of ones, all hitting the identical space. Briefly, there should be many extraordinarily uncommon “hearth hoses” occurring in a brief interval and hitting the identical geography.
And there may be extra: to have a report ARk flooding occasion you’ll want to have a big pre-existing, able to soften, snowpack within the mountains, which is able to reduce below international warming. And an antecedent moist interval.
“No marvel it’s uncommon to get an ARk occasion! A variety of transferring items. And for many of the items, there isn’t a cause to anticipate enhancement by international warming.
“Moreover, California has a large storage capability for water in its reservoir system, one thing that didn’t exist 100 years in the past. This will help buffer the subsequent ARk storm.
“And there may be another consideration: actuality just isn’t following the anticipated excessive precipitation enhance projected by the local weather fashions. Thus, it’s fairly potential that the fashions are overdoing the impacts of worldwide warming. I’m a modeler, learn the papers, and have been at countless seminars on local weather mannequin efficiency. Belief me, these fashions have main issues, and lots of deficiencies are within the space of clouds and precipitation.” See hyperlinks below Difficult the Orthodoxy

Zombie Ice? A paper claiming the Greenland ice sheet is in disequilibrium and Greenland alone will trigger 10-inch rise in sea ranges throughout this century attracted separate criticisms from Anthony Watts and Paul Homewood. The paper was accompanied by articles selling it. Maybe the time period “Zombie ice” utilized by Phys.org was meant to draw readers, but it surely actually invokes derision. The time period implies that the warming of Greenland will proceed indefinitely, inflicting ice to soften. Winter is approaching and the ice will proceed to soften?
The issue with the examine is that it’s based mostly on 2012, which had the bottom estimated Greenland Ice in latest historical past. To undertaking that quantity indefinitely into the longer term is meaningless. Already by 2022, Greenland ice is growing as measured on the finish of the soften season. Often, the top of the Arctic soften season is mid-September, however the Greenland ice sheet is at excessive altitudes and the season might have ended within the final week of August. We don’t know whether or not the climate will change. Paul Homewood sums his criticism:
“In abstract the proof clearly exhibits that:
1) Present temperatures in Greenland aren’t unprecedented, both on a 20th Century scale, or a Holocene one.
2) Temperature measurements solely started throughout the Little Ice Age, the coldest period for the reason that ice age.
3) The ice sheet is smaller now than for a lot of the Holocene.
4) Correct satellite tv for pc measurements of the ice cap started after 40 years of great cooling.”

Nuclear Issues: Writing within the Wall Avenue Journal, columnist Holman Jenkins summarizes a lot of the misinformation regarding nuclear power: He writes:
“If authorities adopted the science, it could be able to chuck established apply when higher data got here alongside. Not the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Fee, which one yr in the past upheld a 70-year-old nuclear threat customary whereas admitting that the science didn’t assist it.
Why carry this scientific embarrassment up now? As a result of if the query had been revisited a yr later, cause may really prevail. The local weather crowd has begun rethinking its opposition to nuclear energy. On the identical time, depressingly, such a revolution might be urgently wanted if occasions on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine poison the burgeoning pro-nuclear temper.
In a little-noticed truth, coal crops are estimated to emit 5,000 tons of uranium and 15,000 tons of thorium a yr, about 100 occasions the quantity of radiation that escapes into the setting from the world’s 440 nuclear reactors. If coal crops had been made to comply with the identical guidelines as nuclear crops and even hospital radiation labs, we’d don’t have any coal crops. The principles intentionally exaggerate the well being dangers from low-level radiation whereas requiring sure amenities (however not others) to spare no expense in decreasing exposures to the bottom ‘moderately achievable’ stage.
One consequence, after the contained meltdown of three Japanese reactors in 2011 brought on by a big earthquake and tsunami, no deaths from radiation publicity had been recorded or anticipated, and but a minimal of 32 deaths and as many as 2,000 had been attributed to the compelled evacuation of 150,000 folks in opposition to an publicity threat equal to half a CT scan. Much more absurd, the underlying threat customary that produced this consequence not solely was identified to lack scientific backing, it more and more seems to have been the product of scientific fraud within the Forties.
However it’s not facetious to say political companies aren’t going to be caught enjoyable a nuclear security customary as lengthy the very first thing Individuals consider is the three-eyed fish from ‘The Simpsons.’ ‘The issue with nuclear is definitely fairly easy,’ the U.S.-based Power Intelligence Group acutely places it. ‘Persons are afraid of it, and that is justified by practically all the things they’ve heard about it since they had been born.’
All this may, however gained’t, make clear the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine. The reactors are nicely contained and shielded, the Russians need the ability, to not create a nuclear cloud that may blow again over Russia. Vladimir Putin needs to play on Europe’s nuclear fears.”
Jenkins then posits a failure of a number of reactors at Zaporizhzhia and writes:
“The catastrophe might be as unhealthy as Chernobyl, an influence plant so badly designed that it produced an uncontained meltdown with none outdoors help.
However it’s additionally price noting that the hundreds of most cancers deaths anticipated from Chernobyl based mostly on low-level radiation threat haven’t materialized, together with lung most cancers and leukemia deaths.
The acknowledged loss of life toll consists of 60 (principally firefighters) from acute radiation publicity, plus a probable 50 or so from preventable and normally curable thyroid most cancers amongst hundreds of thousands who had been uncovered as youngsters to radioactive iodine-131. (Towards a repeat, Ukrainian officers have been handing out preventative iodine tablets, however nothing comparable has been reported in Russia or Belarus.)
A catastrophe of historic proportions is already engulfing Ukraine, due to the conflict. An uncontained, Chernobyl-like meltdown can be a disaster piled on disaster. It will remind us, as no one wanted reminding, that nuclear energy crops are delicate, high-risk industrial installations. However then the U.S. authorities tells us that U.S. energy crops, in regular peacetime operation, kill practically 3,000 folks yearly with fine-particle air pollution. The estimate is contentious however nearly actually extra die in coal-mining accidents yearly, particularly in China, than the confirmed deaths from all nuclear accidents mixed.”
The linear-no-threshold mannequin (referenced by Jenkins) is utilized by the EPA and different authorities companies to estimate the “radiation deaths” from nuclear energy; it’s a mathematical absurdity. It demonstrates that when there’s something fallacious with the speculation, then making use of rigorous arithmetic might produce absurd outcomes. However bureaucrats and inexperienced promoters will declare the absurd outcomes are science, as a result of they’re produced by arithmetic. See Article # 1. ********************
Pure Plasticity: For simplicity, pure plasticity will be described as how crops and animals adapt to altering setting. CO2 Science has plenty of articles on this. Jo Nova offers two good examples. One is the flexibility of forests to adapt to altering inter-annual temperature variability. The second is a ten-year systematic examine of a coral reef in an remoted atoll within the central Pacific. Over the examine interval, the reef expertise two vital bleaching occasions. The summary states”
“The El Niño occasions of 2009–2010 and 2015–2016 resulted in acute thermal stress and coral bleaching was noticed at each reef habitats throughout these occasions. Throughout 10 yr. and two bleaching occasions, the benthic neighborhood construction on Palmyra exhibits proof of long-term stability. Communities on the RT [reef terrace, wave sheltered] exhibited minimal change in p.c cowl of the dominant practical teams, whereas the FR [fore reef, wave-exposed] had better variability and minor declines in onerous coral cowl. There was additionally spatial variation within the trajectory of every web site by means of time. Coral cowl decreased at some websites 1 yr. following each bleaching occasions and was changed by totally different algal teams relying on the location, but returned to pre-bleaching ranges inside 2 yr. Total, our knowledge reveal the resilience of calcifier-dominated coral reef communities on Palmyra Atoll which have persevered over the past decade regardless of two bleaching occasions, demonstrating the capability for these reefs to recuperate from and/or stand up to disturbances within the absence of native stressors.”
Corals and forests have survived warming and cooling for tons of of hundreds of thousands of years —together with occasions when CO2 ranges had been eventually 10 occasions as excessive as now—and there’s no cause to imagine human enhance in CO2 will change that potential.

As a political philosophy, fascism embodies energy of the manager over the legislature and the judiciary, and the ability of presidency over the person. Nearly from the time he took workplace, President Biden issued govt actions to regulate particular person manufacturing and distribution of dependable fossil fuels.
