Back Online

You probably have noticed that the blog has been broken for weeks.  The previous hosting service ran out of disk space and deleted tens of thousands of image files without my permission.  They also failed to keep a backup of the site before deleting the images. Then they shut the blog down completely and sent me this message :

“(you are) very illustrative of why the country so hates right-wing influencers who can’t see beyond their own grift and selfish hypocrisy”

I am now working with a respectable hosting service, but it will take some time to restore the tens of thousands of damaged blog posts.  Thanks for your patience.

I’ve been posting at realclimate.science as well.

“What happened?”

AP News wonders why green Germany’s economy is in such bad shape, and blames high energy prices due to the war in Ukraine.

“Germany risks “deindustrialization” as high energy costs and government inaction on other chronic problems threaten to send new factories and high-paying jobs elsewhere, said Christian Kullmann, CEO of major German chemical company Evonik Industries AG.”

Germany went from envy of the world to the worst-performing major developed economy. What happened?

No mention of Germany’s green energy policies or the US blowing up their gas pipeline.

Scientists Alarmed

“The sea-ice surrounding Antarctica is well below any previous recorded winter level, satellite data shows, a worrying new benchmark for a region that once seemed resistant to global warming. “It’s so far outside anything we’ve seen, it’s almost mind-blowing,” says Walter Meier, who monitors sea-ice with the National Snow and Ice Data Center.”

Maximum extent this year occurred on September 12 at 17,588,125 km. sq.

Nine years ago, Walt Meier wrote a paper describing much lower extent during the winter of 1966.

Extent on September 12 was very similar to the same date in 1986.

Sooner Than The Boston Globe Expected

“Regular bouts of deadly heat are coming sooner than expected
Study finds hundreds of millions live in places that will regularly experience heat and humidity so high that humans can’t survive without cooling”

“With a sweltering heat wave in Massachusetts not far behind us, new research is finding that periods of heat and humidity so great that humans cannot survive without sources of cooling are likely coming much sooner than previously believed”

Study: Climate change bringing deadly heat sooner than expected

Massachusetts USHCN stations have recorded temperatures over 95F (35C) 1,438  times since 1893.  The last one occurred on July 25, 2022.

The last 100F temperature recorded in Massachusetts occurred on July 22, 2011.

 

It appears that Boston Globe writers don’t actually read the Boston Globe.

Government To Save Us From Global Boiling

“The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.”
