Ed. note: A recent peer-reviewed article in Nature (discussed here) has, once again, knocked this speculative “fat tail” hypothesis down to size. “Based on the here identified relationship and observation-based estimates of the past air-sea heat flux in the North Atlantic from reanalysis products,” the authors concluded, “the decadal averaged AMOC at 26.5°N has not weakened from 1963 to 2017 although substantial variability exists at all latitudes.”
Climate alarm is the name of the game for the government-led Climate Industrial Complex to keep the taxpayer grants going to the wind, solar, and battery rent-seekers. Nature is optimal and fragile, and the game is to throw hypotheticals against the wall to see what might stick. The mainstream media is hungry for a scary scenario too.
One perennial fear is a potential collapse of a crucial system of ocean currents known as the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). A…

Mark Trexler of the (alarmist) Climate Risk Red Team (see appendix below) has compiled a list of Trump-related action items for a consumer-first, America-first approach to climate and energy policy. Trexler, worried about Trump, published this useful list that can now be compared to the Trump executive orders flowing from Washington, DC:
… Continue ReadingWhile I’d heard a lot about the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” blueprint for a second Trump Administration, I’ve never seen a simple listing of specific things being proposed. Note this is just a partial list, is limited to climate change, and is just one of a number of such lists being developed.
