Climate change driving ‘record threats to health’ claims ‘major report’ by Lancet released ‘just weeks before the UN COP29 talks are held in Azerbaijan’ – Report ‘painted a dire picture of death & delay’
https://www.yahoo.com/news/climate-change-driving-record-threats-000819483.html?guccounter=1 By Daniel Lawler Climate change poses a growing threat to human health in a variety of record-breaking ways, a major report said Wednesday, the experts warning that “wasted time has been paid in lives”. The new report was released as heatwaves, fires, hurricanes, droughts and floods have lashed the world during what is expected […]
Brown U. to study climate change effect on old people — with federal grant of $3.8 million – Will study ‘effects of climate change’ on ‘aging populations’
The $3.8 million National Institute of Aging grant “will enable Brown researchers to study the negative health effects of climate change and develop practical solutions that promote healthy aging,” according to the announcement.

Now will you support the Green New Deal?! CNBC: NFL stadiums could experience $11 billion in climate-related losses by 2050, a new report finds – ‘Teams trying to tackle the climate change problem head on’ by stadiums’ running ‘completely off renewable energy’
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/17/climate-risk-sports-stadiums.html Key Points Sports stadiums are facing risks from changing weather patterns. NFL stadiums could experience $11 billion in climate-related losses by 2050, according to a new report released by the climate risk analysis company, Climate X. The risk was underscored by Hurricane Milton ripping the roof off Tropicana Field in Tampa, Florida. Hurricane Milton’s […]

New Studies Challenge Media Hype On Climate Change, Biased Models, & Storm Predictions
New Studies Challenge Media Hype On Climate Change, Biased Models, And Storm Predictions by Roger Pielke Jr. In 2024 it can be difficult to sort wheat from chaff in the peer-reviewed literature. There has always been better and worse science — that goes with the territory — but as I argued last week, we are now […]
STUDY: ‘Climate change’ could trigger a surge in domestic violence: Sexual assaults & physical abuse against women increase following storms – ‘Happens more often…in countries that have patriarchal gender norms’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13915869/Climate-change-trigger-surge-domestic-violence.html By Shivali Best For Mailonline Climate change could trigger a surge in domestic violence against women, a concerning new study has revealed. Researchers from University College London (UCL) analysed how extreme weather events in 156 countries were linked to rates of intimate partner violence (IPV). They found that, in the two years following a storm, landslide, or flood, there was […]
New Study: Human Emissions ‘Irrelevant’ In Determining Changes In Atmospheric CO2 Since 1959
New Study: Human Emissions ‘Irrelevant’ In Determining Changes In Atmospheric CO2 Since 1959 By Kenneth Richard on 2. September 2024 “The main factor governing the annual increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration is the SST [sea surface temperature] rather than human emissions.” – Ato, 2024 Another day, another new scientific paper has been published reporting efforts to curb anthropogenic CO2 emissions […]
New Study: CO2’s Atmospheric Residence Time 4 Years…Natural Sources Drive CO2 Concentration Changes
New study knocks the wind out of the climate hoax, concluding: 1. Human activities are responsible for only 4% of carbon emissions. 2. The vast majority of changes in the atmosphere since 1750 (red bars in the graph) are due to natural processes, respiration and… pic.twitter.com/JNPQhb1taf — Steve Milloy (@JunkScience) August 31, 2024 New Study: […]
Study in journal Science: Only 63 of 1,500 Global Climate Policies of Past 25 Years Worked to Reduce CO2 Emissions – A success rate of 4.2%
Sarah Montalbano of IWF: The peer-reviewed study, published August 22, 2024 in the journal Science, reviewed the effects of 1,500 climate policies implemented between 1998 and 2022 across 41 countries using a machine learning algorithm. The model identified significant breaks in carbon dioxide emissions (between 0.6 and 1.8 gigatons of CO2) and associated them with known policy changes.
Via Study Abstract: “We provide a global, systematic ex post evaluation to identify policy combinations that have led to large emission reductions out of 1500 climate policies implemented between 1998 and 2022 across 41 countries from six continents…We identified 63 successful policy interventions with total emission reductions between 0.6 billion and 1.8 billion metric tonnes CO2.”
Only 63 of 1,500 climate policies were associated with any significant break in carbon dioxide emissions. That’s a success rate of 4.2%.
There were no “successful pricing intervention[s] with large emission reductions in the electricity sector of developing economies” despite 13% of studied policies being related to pricing. … The U.S.’ predominant strategy to achieve its green dreams has been subsidies and regulations—to the tune of a projected $1.2 trillion in uncapped Inflation Reduction Act subsidies.
Study author: ‘We find that it’s very rare that [subsidies and regulations] really work in reducing emissions.’
According to The Wall Street Journal: “By searching through the OECD database, which identifies 46 types of policy interventions, the study’s authors found government policymakers prefer subsidies and regulations, according to [Nicolas Koch, senior researcher at the Berlin-based Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change and an author of the study]. “We see a lot of policy packages built around these two policy types, and we find that it’s very rare that they really work in reducing emissions,” Koch said.
