If you live in New England, and maybe this is true everywhere, you can’t trust the weather forecast more than a day or two out. The joke in the northeast is that if you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes. And it’s all fun and games until you talk about climate change – by … Read more
It has often been pointed out that Vermont’s news outlet of record, VT Digger, is really just a bunch of juvenile left-wing activists cosplaying as legit reporters, but this past week they dropped the costumes and makeup. The article “How a Koch-funded campaign is trying to reverse climate action in Vermont” is a 3500-word, all-hands-on-deck … Read more
If you look up any subject area linked to Climate change (pro-tip, they are all linked), you’ll get more manure than you can manage with a fleet of shit spreaders. The mass of material is copious and contradicts itself, always with a perfectly straight, I am science sort of face. This is serious business we’re … Read more
Hurricane Erin wandered about the Atlantic, creating storm surge, rip tides, and heavy surf, but not a lot else. Not the sort of damage the Climateers use as tribute to their cause. They want wreckage, flooding, and a pile of dead bodies on that altar. Look what you did! As if they are gods who … Read more
As predicted, Tropical Storm Erin escalated quickly into a hurricane and then rapidly to a Category 5 hurricane. The Climate Marxists were dancing in their crime-laden, poop stained, needle-littered streets. Look! Cat 5, like so fast, it’s global Warming! YOU DID THIS TO ME! Be sure you shout it using your best Ren Hoek impersonation. … Read more
Cue up the sad violins. On August 6, 2025, South Carolina Judge Roger Young dealt the latest blow to the shakedown scheme masquerading as climate justice popularly known as “Make Big Oil Pay” and officially, in Vermont at least, as the Climate Superfund Act. In another example of fraudulent misnaming by lawmakers, it is neither … Read more
Invest 97L (officially tropical storm Erin, after the overnight) is hot off the western coast of Africa and is likely to have formed into a cyclone when you read this (it did). It is one of a handful of named storms this year, none of them ever rising to the level of a hurricane, but … Read more
The Clintons were famous for (among other things) taking souvenirs from the White House when their time ended in January of 2001. Things that temps don’t typically get to keep. I’m not sure if the Bidens followed the Clintons’ lead, but whoever was running the Biden Administration shoveled hundreds of billions of debt-bloating dollars into … Read more
In my recent “Cage Match Conversation” with fellow WDEV radio host Kevin Ellis (Great debate, check out the podcast!), the subject of electric vehicles and the recent decision by Congress to end the EPA’s ability to regulate tailpipe CO2 emissions as pollutants came up. I pointed out the reason for this policy change is that … Read more
The Global Warming Solutions Act (GWSA) contains a provision that gives standing to anyone who wants to sue the state, at taxpayers’ expense, if we fail to meet that law’s unrealistic, unattainable greenhouse gas reduction mandates. It’s known as the “private right of action” clause. The first case brought under the private right of action … Read more
We’ve had some hot days in my corner of the world, typically two or three in succession, followed by some (to be honest) unseasonably cooler days and nights in the low to mid seventies. It hardly matters what happens. It’s all your fault. But the blamestormers love a prolonged heat wave. Any sort will do, … Read more
The emissions lawsuit opera continues after a court told the environmentalists suing the state of Vermont for missing its made-up emissions target that you can’t sue them for missing a target we won’t know we’ve missed until 2027. Oh, but they guessed and we guessed and the official unofficial estimates are that they missed it. … Read more
When nature will not do what you’ve insisted, the classic response from the so-called planet-saving environmental activists is to simulate the disaster. This most often occurs on paper and in the media, where captured interests invent and then perpetuate fraud. Weather is pimped as proof because trends fail to support the theory. The other way … Read more

There is no shortage of net-zero (Nut Zero) content on these pages. We’re also not shy about taking any or all of the states in the ISO New England system to the rhetorical woodshed. Energy policy in the Northeast is blinkered and on a path to doom. The only positive news has been recent moves … Read more
We are seven weeks into the Hurricane season without a single hurricane. I blame Global Warming, specifically the current cycle resulting from the massive infusion of water vapor into the atmosphere following the 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption. Water vapor is the primary greenhouse gas, and it puts the other pretenders to shame. The Earth uses … Read more
Before you can have a flash flood, you’ll need to have a lot of rain, but would it surprise you to know that the latter does not predict more of the former? I was surprised, so it might shock, astound, and astonish the Chicken Little climate grifters exploiting the recent tragedy in Flash Flood Alley … Read more
One of the narratives that circulates among eco-cultists is the pervasive fear that we’ve broken the planet and are doomed. It’s not true, but they’ve heard it so many times that its constant consumption has become part of their person. Their reality hinges on this lie being true. It is cultish, and why the movement … Read more
State Sen. wants constituents to pay for her policy failures In a recent VT Digger article with the misleading headline, “Clean Heat Standard is Dead. What comes next?” (It’s not, it’s just temporarily dormant until it can be fully implemented), Senator Anne Watson (D/P -Washington) expressed her hope and desire that the state be sued … Read more
I’ve spent a lot of time discussing the Clean Heat Standard and Cap & Invest proposals to meet the mandates of the Global Warming Solutions Act, and have noted often but perhaps too obscurely in passing that even these monumentally expensive and disruptive programs won’t, on their own, do the job. Other programs, each with … Read more
