Whether you like them or not, the hurricane season posts are a critical balance to the fearmongering agenda of the Climate Cult. More and stronger storms. That’s why we (or at least I) do these. Media bias is strong when the weather presents the opportunity, so we work to provide balance, but no one seems … Read more
This week on Right Side Up, Alison and Mike discuss climate science, climate-related legislation, and the adverse effects on the economy. We also talk about a second scientific revolution and an article by Jay Bhattacharya. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the Embedded Video does not load. Authors’ and Speakers’ opinions are their own … Read more
Breaking news. A UK Supermarket chain is racist. Yes. Sainsbury’s, a dominant retail outfit in the UK that runs just under 1,500 locations (plus a few hundred others under different names), is banning brown eggs. All I can think to say is White Egg Supremacy. What’s next, swastikas and goose-stepping? Maybe. Their stated rationale for … Read more
Today, on your Morning Update, we celebrate the 26th birthday of “your kids won’t know snow,” with some good news for snow and a reminder why it doesn’t matter how much or how little snow we get. This Climate thing has nothing to do with the weather. I’m a bit sleepy and hoarse in this … Read more
Thirteen of seventeen Senate Democrats joined every Republican in repealing Act 18, the Clean Heat Standard, in a significant moral victory for the GOP. (For those wondering, the four colossally out of touch “no” votes came from Andrew Perchlik (D/P- Washington), Ann Cummings (D-Washington), Becca White (D-Windsor), and Tanya Vyhovsky (D/P -Chittenden C.) But it … Read more
Tales abound of normal people fleeing blue states to escape a laundry list of ills. Taxes, illegals, crime, homelessness, drugs, gangs, taxes, regulations, fraud, democrats, taxes, did I miss any? I did. All that COVID crap they pulled moved a small mountain of people, belongings, and U-Hauls from Blue States to Red States. But you … Read more
Given the opportunity, a Proglodyte will lie about anything. Take Global warming. Everything is caused by it, relabeled as climate change to ensure the hymns matched the dogma. Heat, cold, rain, drought, sun, shade, storms, quiet, no snow, more snow, everything is the result of their sky god, while yours is just a fake thing … Read more
The keep-it-in-the-ground folks are idiots. Yes, they are idiots for falling for the green scam. Stooges to the decarbonization political class who don’t plan on decarbonizing themselves. Victims of a soft-headed idea that oil and gas are a greater threat to life on earth than not having them. They are wrong, and there are tons … Read more
It’s like a million years ago in internet time, but quite recent in the real world. After decades of policy choices meant to make electricity more expensive, and everything else with it, the political left attempted to blame Donald Trump and Republicans for what they did. We see a similar reaction to motor-fuel prices. They … Read more
Rural Vermonters have certainly woken up to the dangers of Act 181, the state land use law that threatens to basically steal the property rights away from landowners living outside the 2.5 percent of the state deemed to be “urban settlement.” The “Vermont Act 181” Facebook group has exploded almost overnight to 11,400 members, the … Read more
Some countries, eighty-five of them if you believe the reporting, are trying to create a climate confab cabal outside the UN’s failed COP process, and why not? COP 30 was a disaster, and how are they all supposed to tap into the trillions in wasted “climate money” if they can’t all agree on pointless targets … Read more
Today, on the Morning update, a local Fake Media report says Ski Industry professionals are concerned about declining snowfall. They call it new research, but it’s from last summer, before a record Northeast ski season – and that’s not the only problem. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the embedded video does not load. … Read more
Renewable energy, so-called because it attempts to capture natural resources and convert them into electricity, is neither cheap, scalable, nor climate-friendly. They will never be affordable because the material needed to make them isn’t, and the decommission costs are ugly, both economically and environmentally. Renewable portfolios force generators to include them in the mix, driving … Read more
Minnesota Democrats are making life unaffordable for everyone in the State, it seems, unless you open a learning center. But even that gig has come under fire as Federal fraud investigations look for the nine billion that disappeared up Minnesota’s skirt while Tim Walz was gushing over how great China is, and we know why? … Read more
Greta Thunberg’s shrieks of climate doom have become fainter as she moves past Gaza, seeking another grievance du jour. The borders are secure despite past claims that Republicans were preventing effective immigration enforcement. DEI is now DOA, and mandated trans pronouns are drifting into the past. Fake meat is teetering, too, but Illinois has yet to … Read more
Whether you like it or not, solar, as a scaled-up alternative to other forms of commercial energy production, is a huge risk. It’s expensive, intermittent (unreliable), has a significant front and back-end carbon footprint, has a highly toxic manufacturing process, a sketchy and toxic end of life question mark (how, who, cost, disposal, de-manufacturing, danger … Read more
Today, on the Morning Update, a Blue State Democrat governor announced this week that she will fight for lower energy costs, meaning she will pretend to try and slow her party’s deliberate economy-crushing cost hike, at least until she knows she’s still the governor. Watch on the ‘Grok Rumble Channel if the embedded video does … Read more

I drink a lot of coffee, and I’ve been drinking it since I was six. I’ve told the story before. Both parents recovered alcoholics who helped alcoholics recover. Lots of AA meetings. Smoky rooms, free-flowing java from stainless steel industrial tanks (they look big when you’re six), with too much cream and sugar. I am … Read more
With Claude (Anthropic) — in genuine collaboration with a human who had all the ideas. A conversation between one-old-conservative and Claude (Anthropic) — March 2026 Two articles landed in the queue before the bacon was finished. Both were about artificial intelligence. All were unsettling to varying degrees. The only way to make the morning bearable, … Read more
