Air travel has declined since COVID, and I can’t help but think this is just another progressive Rube-Goldbergian plan to get people to stop traveling. You make it too expensive or too much trouble or too expensive or inaccessible, or even dangerous.

EVs Aren’t Green So Are They Actually About Control?
Electric Vehicles are not green and can’t run clean, and even in their wildest dream, they never could. There isn’t enough of what we need to get there from here, and “there” isn’t even green. And while that might play for some, not everyone wants to hear it so perhaps this will have more impact.
Tornado Watch Issued for New Hampshire
The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for the entire state of New Hampshire from now until 8 pm this evening.
Conspiracy Theory No Longer: Unregulated US Climate Engineering Created Heat Waves In Europe
With a straight face and without blinking – as if this was some well-regarded scientific practice and not an outlandish conspiratorial Alt-Righ bugbear – the UK Guardian has a piece exploring research about the effects of geo (or climate engineering).
Night Cap: Another Bad Week for Big Green as Inconvenient Truths Come Callin’
Not everyone has been able to take advantage of the gobs of taxpayer money pouring between the seams to encourage the adoption of so-called green technologies. And it’s not because they aren’t truly green. Joe’s Build Back Better has beaten back business.
Night Cap: Inconvenient Science – Warming Leads to Fewer Hurricane Landfalls
Tropical Cyclone One is puttering about northwest of the Yucatan and projected to hang a hard left into the heart of Mexico. It’s not American landfall, and it’s not a real hurricane yet, so pooh on that. But it is as good a time as any to abuse a few Climate Cult articles of faith. … Read more
JUICE: Power, Politics & The Grid – Part II
Enron Corporation may have declared bankruptcy in 2001, but the company’s effect on America’s electric grid can still be seen today in states like California and Texas, where power prices are soaring and reliability is declining.
Op-Eds, Fundraising, and Updates
If you submitted an Op-Ed and we didn’t publish it (yet), there’s a good reason. Our stable of contributors (Groksters) has been cranking out a lot of material. Last week, I addressed this (to some degree) by dropping a lot more content than usual, but I’m reluctant to do it again.
Montana and Idaho Got Cold Air and Up to a Foot of Snow This Week
It was in the low to mid-90s the past two days and will be the same today. Everyone around here is looking for ways to stay cool, checking on elderly neighbors, and keeping their pets indoors. But one thousand nine hundred fifty miles west of me, they got a foot of snow.
Midweek Memes … But, soft! what meme through yonder window breaks?
It is Wednesday, and time for another memeingful encounter with … memes.
Who Made Vermont Use Fossil Fuels in the First Place?
Last week, I took Vermont Democrats to the rhetorical woodshed over a new law to charge fossil fuel companies for the cost of climate change. It was a fun ride but long-winded, so I published it on Substack.
Despotic Facebook is Marking ‘Grok Posts as Spam – Are We That Close to The Election?
Let’s open by thanking the handful of people who have reached out to tell me that Facebook is taking down the Grok posts they share. The Platform marks them as spam and removes them for violating community standards. It is expected, and we know, but we don’t just have to take it.
NH House Attendance Finale: 50 “Perfect” Republicans and The Whole House (6 of The Top Ten Worst Were Dems)
With the final day of the session past us, it is time to reminisce (cue misty dream sequence) about the past few months. We’ve been sharing – to the dismay of some – a weekly list of Republicans who missed roll call votes (and how many). Today, we have two lists. The Republicans voted in every roll call and then the full house.
Climate Depressions, Tropical and Otherwise [Updated]
While Climate Cultists pray for devastation – as if it will justify their faith in an irrefutable hypothesis – the lack of tropical depressions has been superseded by other bad news for climateers. New Zealand, for example, will no longer tax cow farts to save the planet.
Citizen Wanted to Commemorate The Battle of Bunker Hill – The City Raised a Pride Flag Instead
Today is the 249th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill. It is a good day to raise a flag suited to the anniversary. One local resident and a contributor to these pages applied to have her city fly the Pine Tree Flag on this date, but it both refused the application and an appeal. They chose to fly a Pride Flag Instead.
Excessive Heat Warning Alert … But It Was Mild and Pleasant
The weather app on my phone is as reliable as any other weather reporting app, including the people on the news. There have been lots of near misses and too many not right at all, but now it is propagandizing me. Last week was mild, pleasant, great sleeping weather, but throughout the week, the App was waving” a high heat warning in my face.
Hot Dog Eating Champ Could Still Compete If He Drops Vegan Weiners
I don’t typically pay any attention to this sort of thing, but it was difficult to resist when the link landed in my inbox. A 16-time consecutive Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Champ got booted from the upcoming Fourth of July festivities after lending his face (for compensation) to a plant-based Weiner.
Whatever Happened to GEN Z GOP?
In the run-up to the theft of the 2020 election (can you hear the creams?), a bunch of liberals posing as moderate Republicans (on college campuses, of course) created something called GEN Z GOP. Pro Climate, Anti-Trump, need I say more?
All Those Pine Needles on the Ground Are Not Your Fault … Yet?
The Climate Cult is so obsessed with how everything causes their thing that they frequently trip over themselves on the way to the supposed Climate Change Narrative Bank.
The Public Records Tax (HB1002) is Law – Goes Into Effect in 60 Days
Gov. Snoonoo signed just 52 Bills into law, and I’m not familiar with all of them, but some look unpleasant. One, HB1002, is well known to us and our audience. It permits towns to charge fees if a records request takes too much time—the Public Records Tax.
