The Climate Case of the Century

All in all, the ruling of the Hague Court of Appeal is an important first step towards restoring rationality and balance in judicial decision-making in climate cases.  The rejection of the case against Shell will have ripple effects on many other climate cases throughout the world, and should cause the EU to rethink the obligation for companies to implement a climate transition plan consistent with 1.5C.

 Wrong, Bloomberg, Real World Evidence Proves Extreme Rainfall Hasn’t Become More Frequent or Deadly

Instead of leaping to conclusions, Bloomberg and other media outlets should focus on reporting about realistic strategies like improved infrastructure, better flood management, and adaptation to natural weather variability—solutions that address flooding problems without resorting to unfounded climate scare tactics.

 BBC Still In Denial About Sri Lanka’s Ban on Fertilisers

But the BBC could never admit that Sri Lanka’s disastrous harvest was due to climate change policies. That would not do, would it?

 Big Battery Fire Regulation Confusion in Washington State

Washington State needs to quickly promulgate and enforce fire safety regulations specifically for grid scale battery complexes. These should cover emergency planning and preparedness, where the latter includes both facility design and material readiness. Design includes container spacing and other necessary engineering features. The material readiness includes having a supply and delivery system for water and/or fire suppressants as needed to prevent a chain reaction of container fires.

 A Demonstration: Low Correlations Do Not Necessarily Lead to Low Confidence in Data Regressions

But the main point of this post is to demonstrate that low correlations between two dataset variables do not necessarily mean low confidence in regression slopes (and intercepts). The confidence intervals also depend upon how much data are contained in the dataset.

The most telling aspect of this whole saga is that Musk’s X has, by default, become more neutral simply because those who previously monopolized the conversation have departed.

 Democrats Anti-Science Climate Extremism Failing – Fear of Global Warming & Climate Change Falls Further off Top 10 Fears Listing

It seems that the more the climate extremist media pushes contrived government climate alarmist propaganda schemes (unsupported by valid science data versus phony models) the more suspect the public becomes of their flawed politically driven alarmist hype.
