The people of New Jersey, Virginia, and other states hope the Trump administration can end these expensive boondoggles once and for all.

I really did not want to wade into the absurdity of the wildfire climate debate but this pushed me over the edge https://www.foxnews.com/politics/dem-senator-warns-la-fires-preview-coming-atrocities-claiming-trump-bought-off-big-oil This are leftist New England senators who demonstrate their ignorance by supporting wind turbines in an area that had 1 hurricane every 7 years from 1938 to 1991, tells us it is getting worse, when that area has been in a hurricane drought, and then turn around...

Jan 11, 2025 | cfact.org | Christina Norman |Joanne Nova

The Los Angeles Fires seem to symbolize the great achievements of collectivist governance. It took decades to reach these Black Belt levels of incompetence: to weaponize the committees, neutralize the media, and to teach the people that fires are caused by hamburgers and stopped by solar panels.

Artificial praise For AI weather models

Dec 8, 2024 | cfact.org | Christina Norman

So since so many people have asked me for comments on this:https://www.barrons.com/news/google-says-ai-weather-model-masters-15-day-forecast-cdc5793dI felt I should add some context to what is being pushed here. First of all, I believe artificial intelligence will improve weather forecasting. The current models are probably good enough for planning out to a week, about 90% of the time. But that means that in a year there may be 30 times, or 10% of the time that is wrong. And I mean flat-out wrong.
