Watchman’s Request: If You Wish to Help the Environment, Send Your Money to Me. Unlike Brain Dead John Kerry, I Have Knowledge

HNewsWire: More BS, another moron prediction… The Gulf Stream system could collapse as soon as 2025, a new study suggests. The shutting down of the vital ocean currents, called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (Amoc) by scientists, would bring catastrophic climate impacts. Amoc was already known to be at its weakest in 1,600 years owing to global heating and researchers spotted warning signs of a tipping point in 2021. The new analysis estimates a timescale for the collapse of between 2025 and 2095, with a central estimate of 2050, if global carbon emissions are not reduced. Evidence from past collapses indicates changes of temperature of 10C in a few decades, although these occurred during ice ages. Other scientists said the assumptions about how a tipping point would play out and uncertainties in the underlying data are too large for a…

Weather Phenomena Are Rapidly Intensifying and Threaten Further Food

Inflation Already at Decade Highs… Devastating floods in Germany, China, Turkey, and India. Scorching hot weather in the Western U.S. and Canada. Worst frost in two decades across Brazil. These recent weather phenomena are rapidly intensifying and threaten further food inflation already at decade highs.  We documented last week Brazil had some of the worst frost conditions in two decades. Temperatures dropped below zero and delivered a massive blow to farmers across the country’s coffee belt. The result has been sky-high coffee prices.  Back-to-back heatwaves continue to scorch the Earth across the Western half of the U.S. The corn belt, which spans the Midwest, lacks rainfall, and hot weather could negatively impact crop development, leading to an underwhelming harvest.  In Europe, China, Turkey, and India, devastating floods have torn apart towns, damaged farmland, and killed hundreds of people. Torrential rains have the risk of…

A Full-Blown Heat Wave Will Result in Higher Power Prices for Mid-Atlantic and Northeast

States. Already, Power Prices Are Creeping Higher Early Sunday Morning, and One Would Expect Prices to Increase Over the Coming Days During Peak hours… Time for those living in Mid-Atlantic and Northeast states to turn their thermostats down as the second heat wave of the year begins and will last through mid-week.  Residents from the Baltimore–Washington metropolitan area up to Boston will experience temperatures well above 90-degrees today through Wednesday.  Temperatures will climb 5 to 10 above average, even as much as 14 degrees above normal for specific areas in the final days of June.  “A bulge northward in the jet stream pattern will allow for a dome of heat to build across the eastern US into the new week from the Appalachian Mountains east to the coast,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Matt Benz said. Increased warmth will also coincide with increasingly humid conditions that…
