Surprise: Warmists Find New Way To Claim Hurricanes Will Get Bigger

By William Teach June 18, 2025 – 7:00 am

You know this means that this season will probably be lighter than usual, right?

Scientists discover concerning new phenomenon that may impact the intensity of hurricanes: ‘Might get stronger’

Nature’s way of cooling off ocean waters in the wake of tropical cyclones is losing its effectiveness as the planet overheats. The shorter lifespans of these cold wakes mean future storms face less inhibition as water temperatures bounce back faster.

According to New Scientist, a team of researchers raised a serious concern tied to less effective “cold wakes.” The combination of cloud cover, evaporative cooling, and the stirring up of ocean waters in the wake of tropical cyclones can cool the ocean’s surface, inhibiting the growth of subsequent storms.

Research from the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory revealed in a recent study that these cold wakes aren’t lasting as long as they used to. The water temperature in these massive pools of relatively cool water is bouncing back more quickly.

It is just underway, and there is already a growing list of concerns about this year’s Atlantic hurricane season. A couple of weeks before the start of the season, the Federal Emergency Management Agency disclosed that it’s stepping away from its broader framework for disaster relief operations. Also, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued its forecast for an above-normal season for tropical activity in the Atlantic basin.

Combined with the news about cold wakes, the potential for serious issues seems high.

First off, if this is happening do know if this is different from previous Holocene warm periods? This could be the norm. Second, it is a period of high sunspots, which tends to reduce hurricane formation. Will the climahysterics change their tune if the season is light?

Curbing carbon pollution from dirty energy sources — the burning of which has a steroid-like effect that is fueling more frequent and severe extreme weather — can help cool our planet’s oceans. Engineers are finding ways to transform old dirty energy projects into clean energy production. Recently, engineers announced that they are on track to field-test new technology that could unlock a more affordable power source.

Becoming an advocate in the fight to protect the future of the planet requires exploring critical climate issues and sharing the information with family and friends. Supporting pro-climate action candidates and taking local action are other important ways you can help make a difference.

Sigh.

IDF Tells Residents Of Tehran To Skedaddle

By William Teach June 18, 2025 – 6:45 am

Well, at least the civilians who do not support the hardcore Islamic terrorist regime

IDF issues evacuation warning for residents of Tehran

An evacuation has been issued to the people of Tehran by the IDF following multiple Iranian attacks on Tuesday night.

“Dear citizens, for your safety and health, we ask that you immediately leave the designated area in District 18 of Tehran,” the IDF Farsi spokesperson wrote on X/Twitter.

The military later announced it had begun conducting strikes in the area.

Well, people had already been fleeing

Meanwhile

Iran prepares to strike US bases if they join war – report

Iran is preparing to attack American bases in the Middle East if the United States joins Israel’s war, American officials who have reviewed intelligence reports told the New York Times on Tuesday.

In the days since Operation Rising Lion began, over 40,000 American troops have been put on high alert at bases throughout the region, including the UAE, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.

Fears of a wider war are growing among American officials as Israel presses the White House to intervene in its conflict with Iran. “If the United States joins the Israeli campaign and strikes Fordo, a key Iranian nuclear facility, the Iranian-backed Houthi militia will almost certainly resume striking ships in the Red Sea,” officials told the Times.

Yeah, well, again, I think that if Trump is forced to attack Iran it will be with overwhelming force, not the piecemeal “future nation-building” type. He’ll want their military destroyed immediately, and their nuclear and other special weapons programs annihilated, and not get bogged down.

Climate “Scientists” Say Human Cause Doom-Warming Started Earlier Than Thought

By William Teach June 17, 2025 – 3:00 pm

This confuses me, because, generally, the Cult of Climastrology claims human-induced warming started in the 1850s, but, hey, they always need Narratives

Scientists looked back in time to find the first signs of human-caused global warming. It’s far earlier than previously thought

Sherman Potter Bull CookiesThe human fingerprint on global warming was likely evident in Earth’s atmosphere far earlier than previously thought—even before the invention of modern cars, a new study says.

Using a combination of scientific theory, modern observations and multiple, sophisticated computer models, researchers found a clear signal of human-caused climate change was likely discernible with high confidence as early as 1885, just before the advent of gas-powered cars but after the dawn of the industrial revolution.

The minute you mention computer models, you know it is mule fritters

The findings, detailed in a paper published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, raise the likelihood that humanity has been remaking the planet’s climate in a detectable way for longer than previously believed—and highlight the importance of tracking changes in the upper atmosphere.

Scientists had begun to record surface temperature observations by the mid-19th century. The start date for a detectable human signal in surface temperatures has generally been thought to be in the early-to-mid-20th century, though other parts of the climate system showed signs of change at different times.

Really? I’ve almost never seen the cult say it started in the early to mid 20th Century. Are they just attempting to re-write this for some nefarious purpose?

The signal of climate change was detectable in the 19th-century atmosphere after just a 10 parts per million increase in carbon dioxide concentrations in the 40 years between 1860 and 1899. For comparison, planet-warming carbon dioxide levels skyrocketed by about 50 parts per million between 2000 and 2025, Santer said.

Do they have actual measurements of this? The paper doesn’t make that clear. And, how do they know, how do they prove, that it was caused by Mankind, instead of just changes from a Holocene cool period to a warm period?

Andrea Steiner, a climate scientist at the Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change at the University of Graz in Austria, told CNN the study shows human-caused climate change can be detected earlier in the atmosphere than at the surface.

And they were able to gather the actual CO2 readings from the atmosphere from the earlier time frame how? Sounds like BS to me.

Vermont Looks To Prioritize Helping Homeless Illegals

By William Teach June 17, 2025 – 10:30 am

This is Vermont

Homelessness in Vermont has increased — and towns are responding differently to the problem

An extremely tight housing market and soaring rents. The end of the pandemic-era eviction ban. The tightening of eligibility for Vermont’s emergency hotel housing program — which led this summer to hundreds of people getting kicked out of rooms. These factors are contributing to a dramatic increase in homelessness in Vermont, which has the second highest rate of homelessness in the country. The increase has forced some municipalities to confront homelessness, which is new for some towns.

Vermont is having a big problem with homelessness for American citizens. Yet

Vermont passes law to boost housing access for migrants

Americans before illegalsCommunity members came together to celebrate a new law going into effect in Vermont that aims to make housing more accessible for Migrants.

On Friday, Migrant Justice hosted a celebration on the statehouse lawn in honor of Gov. Phil Scott signing off on S. 127. The bill requires landlords to accept one of the following:

  • An original or copy of an unexpired government-issued ID
  • An individual tax identification number
  • A Social Security number

Before this law passed, Olga Cruz, an immigrant from Mexico, said immigrants in her community often faced discrimination because they did not have a Social Security number.

How about all those citizens in Vermont? Any concern for them?

As immigrants face fear and turmoil nationwide, Cruz said this is a needed win for her community, but that the work is not done.

“This fear isn’t going to stop us, you know, we’re not going to let the fear and uncertainty keep us from fighting for what’s right and demanding our human rights,” she said.

The Trump admin should also prioritize all these community activists who are unlawfully present in the U.S. Let them take their little brand of activism back to their home country. But, there is one place they can be housed

Leavenworth prison to reopen for migrant detentions amid opposition

Leavenworth, Kansas, occupies a mythic space in American crime, its name alone evoking a short hand for serving hard time. The federal penitentiary housed gangsters Al Capone and Machine Gun Kelly — in a building so storied that it inspired the term “the big house.”

Now Kansas’ oldest city could soon be detaining far less famous people, migrants swept up in President Donald Trump’s promise of mass deportations of those living in the U.S. illegally.

The federal government has signed a deal with the private prison firm CoreCivic Corp. to reopen a 1,033-bed prison in Leavenworth as part of a surge of contracts U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has issued without seeking competitive bids.

Good. Let them sit there while waiting for their “due process”.

Bank Has Plan To Unlock Trillions In Climate (scam) Funding

By William Teach June 17, 2025 – 7:00 am

I’m sure that all sorts of rich Warmists and companies will be happy to pony up money for this

Bank unveils green loans plan to unlock trillions for climate finance

An innovative plan to use public money to back renewable energy loans in the developing world could liberate cash from the private sector for urgently needed climate finance.

Avinash Persaud, a special adviser on climate change to the president of the Inter-American Development Bank (IADB), who developed the proposals, believes the plan could drive tens of billions of new investment in the fledgling green economy in poorer countries within a few years, and could provide the bulk of the $1.3tn in annual climate finance promised to the developing world by 2035.

“This could be an engine for green growth, and produce the trillions needed for climate finance in the future,” he told the Guardian. “It could be a transformation.”

His ideas will be set out in detail at a UN meeting in Germany this week, kicking off negotiations for the Cop30 climate summit that will take place in Brazil this November against a worrying global background for the discussions.

Ah. So, they plan on using Other People’s money, ie, taxpayer money taken without consent by Warmist governments, to be spent elsewhere instead of for the people of those countries.

The proposals by Persaud and others to buy up loans to renewable energy projects in the developing world could allow billions of dollars of private sector cash to flood the sector, in a big boost to global climate finance.

The plan, which is being pioneered by the IADB, would involve getting taxpayer-funded development banks to buy existing loans to green projects in poor countries, which would free up investment from private sector lenders.

Such loans are relatively low risk because they are already performing – but because they are in developing countries, with credit ratings lower than those of rich states – mainstream private sector investors such as pension funds are often forbidden from touching them because of their strict rules on credit worthiness.

But if those loans are backed instead by development banks, which can provide guarantees against default, and which themselves have impeccable credit ratings, the “repackaged” loan finance can meet private sector criteria.

Hmms, sounds like a great way to spread money around as it is siphoned off, and the taxpayers will have no say in this.

Trump Leaving G7 Early Over Israel-Iran Conflict

By William Teach June 17, 2025 – 6:45 am

What could this allude to?

Trump to leave G7 early, White House says citing situation in Middle East

President Donald Trump is leaving the G7 summit in Canada early “so he can attend to many important matters,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday evening.

“President Trump had a great day at the G7, even signing a major trade deal with the United Kingdom and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Much was accomplished, but because of what’s going on in the Middle East, President Trump will be leaving tonight after dinner with Heads of State,” Leavitt posted on X.

The schedule change will cancel Trump’s planned bilateral meetings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. He also will also not attend a press conference on Tuesday.

The announcement came after Trump posted a warning on social media warning “everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran.”

I guess we’ll learn soon what this is about

(Breitbart) President Donald Trump rejected the G7’s proposed statement on Iran because it called for monitoring of Iran’s nuclear activities, rather than an outright halt to Iran’s program of nuclear enrichment.

The Trump administration has been demanding that Iran halt all uranium enrichment, since enrichment past a certain level has no purpose other than developing the unique isotope necessary for nuclear weapons.

Good. Of course, the Democrats, who worked hard to force WWIII via the Ukraine-Russia war, are suddenly upset

If Trump decides to attack Iran, it won’t be in a half-hearted, police action styled attack.

Weird: Climate Cult Washington State Being Shady On Meeting Their Targets

By William Teach June 16, 2025 – 3:00 pm

Washington has been on the forefront of claiming to be a climate cult state….well, at least those in the big cities, which drives who wins elections there. They had an uber-Warmist governor in Jay Inslee, who’s first and only thought was what legislation could be passed. Yet

Washington’s climate pollution slow to see light of day, despite new law

For a week, NPR has been exploring various solutions to climate change, from quitting fossil fuels to putting coastal homes up on stilts.

In Washington state, it is hard to know how well climate solutions are working.

The state takes up to four years to disclose whether it is keeping its promise—and legal mandate—to slash its climate-damaging pollution.

The Washington Department of Ecology revealed statewide carbon dioxide emissions for 2020 and 2021 in January 2025, two years after its legal deadline.

The state’s next greenhouse gas inventory is scheduled to be published by December 1, 2026, to cover data from 2022 and 2023.

Legislators have dedicated more funding and passed legislation to accelerate the state’s pollution tracking, while conservative activists have sued the state over its tardy transparency.

Even so, better visibility into the state’s stubborn carbon problem is still years away.

Hmm, sounds more like it’s a slush fund they want to hide. I wonder how many of those pushing this are giving up their own use of fossil fuels.

“The reports coming out of the Department of Ecology are four years old,” said Republican state Sen. Matt Boehnke. “My bill actually just tried to speed it up to say, let’s do this annually, and let’s get more current, accurate data so we can make better decisions now.”

The Democrat-led legislature unanimously passed Boehnke’s bill to require speedier disclosures of carbon emissions — but not before pushing its requirement for annual reporting down the road five years.

“They basically hijacked my bill, frankly, and said, ‘we can’t do this.’ And I said, ‘You can,’” Boehnke told KUOW.

“From an efficiency and from a budget reduction standpoint, we really wanted to ease into the yearly reporting,” Democratic state Rep. Beth Doglio said.

It’s a slush fund.

NC Democratic Rep Posts Call To Assassinate Trump

By William Teach June 16, 2025 – 10:30 am

She’s not my rep, but, close

So far, nothing from WRAL, ABC11, or the News and Observer. Finally something from CBS17

NC House Rep. removes ‘inappropriate’ social media image of guillotine sign from Raleigh ‘No Kings’ protest

A North Carolina state representative said a social media photo she posted Saturday of a sign at a Raleigh “No Kings” protest was “inappropriate” and has since removed the image.

Representative Julie von Haefen (D-36) posted a photo of a woman holding a sign of a guillotine flanked by two life-sized heads, one of which resembled President Donald Trump.

The photo, which appeared to insinuate the beheading of President Trump, was included in a video along with several other photos from “No Kings” protests. Under the guillotine, the sign said, “In these difficult times some cuts may be necessary.” The other head dangling from a pole was a man with a Nazi symbol carved into his forehead.

If Julie was a Republican her party affiliation would have been in the headline and mentioned several times in the story. Not just (D-36).

“Yesterday, I posted a video on social media containing crowd photos from the No Kings protest in Raleigh. One of the images of a protestor holding a sign was inappropriate, and I later edited the video to remove the photo,” von Haefen said in a statement Sunday to CBS 17.

Yeah, she also deleted her Twitter account over the backlash

Later in her statement, she mentioned the Saturday shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers, one of which was deadly.

“Let me be clear: I condemn political violence in all forms. My focus remains on bringing people together and fighting for the values that matter to North Carolinians. Like so many, I was horrified by the violence in Minnesota. There is no place for that kind of extremism in our democracy, no matter the target, no matter the party,” the statement said.

So, it was a non-apology apology, since she could not just say “I messed up on this, I’m sorry.”

Sunday evening, North Carolina House Speaker Destin Hall (R-87) issued a statement to the media that said the sign in the photo “glorifies violence against her political opponents.”

“Her disgraceful behavior fails to meet the standards expected from House members and sets a dangerous precedent in an already volatile political climate. I am examining next steps with our legislative attorneys to ensure this behavior does not continue,” part of Hall’s statement said.

Now, if Julie was a Republican all the local news outlets would be calling for her to be booted from the General Assembly. They’d feature numerous quotes from Democrats decrying what she did and calling for her to be booted. It would probably make the national news, and be part of segments on the 630 evening news. And mentioned on the morning shows this morning. But, she’s a Democrat, so, the double standard plays hard.
