Secretary of State John Kerry said today at an Arctic conference in Anchorage that “anybody running for any high office in any nation in the world” should visit a place where the “seismic challenge” of climate change is happening “and inform themselves about this.” “And we as leaders of countries will begin to witness what we call climate refugees moving – you think migration is a challenge to Europe today because of extremism, wait until you see what happens when there’s an absence of water, an absence of food, or one tribe fighting against another for mere survival,” Kerry told the Global Leadership in the Arctic: Cooperation, Innovation, Engagement, and Resilience (GLACIER) Conference. Climate scientists, like atmospheric scientists, can't do anything without an acronym. Calling it the Arctic Climate Conference (for example) is out of the question.  This climate conference was in Anchorage and the next is in Paris. But, hey, it is taxpayer money they are spending wh...

ABC News did a s pecial in 2009 forecasting the horrors of global warming in 2015. They were only off by 75% based on the price of gasoline in Wichita today.  Over and over and over and over again, Big Climate gets it wrong. Yet, it never seems to affect their confidence and their forecasts of catastrophe.  Maybe it should. 

It is almost hard to believe how bad the news reporting was on Katrina's aftermath. WeatherData, Inc. (now AccuWeather Enterprise Solutions ), by 10am on the 29th, had informed its clients that the levees had breached. As I write in Warnings , I boarded a business flight late the morning of the 29th and, when I reached my hotel in Charlotte, I turned on the television and expected to see non-stop coverage of the rising waters. I was flabbergasted that, even on "Nightline" at 11:30pm, there was no realization that things were getting worse rather than better. People were literally drowning due to the rising water yet no one outside New Orleans (and our clients) seemed to know about it. On the 30th, the networks finally reported that New Orleans had flooded but got just about everything else wrong. If you would like to learn about what went wrong with the news coverage, in addition to my book, Warnings, you can click here , here and here . The last link is to an ar...

Very heavy rains expected from the remains of tropical storm Erika.

I wonder how many pre-written, canned press releases by Big Climate about the horrors of Hurricane Erika are being shredded at this very moment (see below). H/T: Thanks to Steve Goddard for the headline.

Atlantic Tropical storm Erika is dissipated.  Pacific Hurricane Igancio is still expected to pass north of the Hawaiian Islands but will cause high surf over the region. 

I even replayed it to insure I heard what I thought I heard, "They are suspending the game due to heavy rain and a big clap of thunder anticipating some lightning." was stated a moment ago by an announcer for the Kansas City Chiefs pre-season game.
