MACDONALD: 1915 and 1927

September 26, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Until this year, 1914 was the least active Atlantic Basin hurricane season on record. I know, on record doesn’t mean much. If the Earth is 4 billion years old, the absence of 3.9999999999… billion years’ worth of records makes any predictions or remembrances appear insignificant. And so they are, but what interests me isn’t how … Read more

We’re just waiting for them to announce that they cremated his body over the weekend, but while we wait, did you know this? The suspect found dead is also a New Hampshire weather headline. If you looked up the … Read more

MACDONALD: Will Fewer US Hurricane Landfalls Prove “Global Warming” Too?

November 1, 2025 Steve MacDonald

The Climate Cult’s entirely faith-based dogma, which includes the computer model Psalms, Book of Algore, and the Hockey Stick Scriptures of Mann (from which Mann Made Global Warming is derived). It fits the framework of a mythology (in every spiritual sense). Nothing about it has to be right because belief is based on faith, and … Read more

MACDONALD: Is a Hurricane a Comin’?

September 25, 2025 Steve MacDonald

This lands on the recurring theme of these posts. They still don’t know. It is a few days away, and they have technology and models and a few decades of history and they’ve no clue what they will do.

MACDONALD: The Climate Cult Holds Its Breath

August 24, 2025 Steve MacDonald

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

MacDonald: Climate Marxists Rejoice – We May Have Our First Hurricane of 2025

August 12, 2025 Steve MacDonald

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

MacDonald: What Heat Wave?

August 1, 2025 Steve MacDonald

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

MacDonald: NOAAs 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Forecast

May 27, 2025 Steve MacDonald

The sky is blue, water is wet, and each year, about this time, the ‘ Grok reviews NOAA’s annual hurricane predictions. It’s not that we’re overly interested in hurricanes, though you’d be hard pressed to prove otherwise. There are over 100 articles in recent years on the subject, but for a good reason. The science. … Read more

Montana and Idaho Got Cold Air and Up to a Foot of Snow This Week

June 20, 2024June 20, 2024 Steve MacDonald

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.

Are Transgender Sex Workers Adversely Affected by Climate Change or Responsible For It?

April 7, 2024 Steve MacDonald

The UK Independent has published a ‘very serious piece’ on the state of the world today. Something we should all consider a threat to social justice. Climate change is being blamed for the extended rainy season in Indonesia, and Trans-Sex workers say, “It is very hard to make money during that unpredictable weather.”

Reminder: Can’t Predict Snowfall a Few Days in Advance, But a Few Years From Now … Doom!

February 13, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Schools and Businesses all over New Hampshire announced they would be closed this morning. WMUR shows 78 of them as of 6 am ET. Why? The promise of snowmageddon. A storm that might have dumped up to a foot of white stuff. Also, as of 6 am, we’re getting NoMageddon – less than an inch.

Don’t Ask the Scientist. They Don’t Know Either.

April 4, 2023 Steve Earle

Is the climate changing, getting warmer, or is it cooling? Don’t ask the scientist. They don’t know either. And listening to the hysterical, “the world is coming to an end,” environmentalists will only give you ulcers.

Skip’s Sauntering Snippets – #25 – A General Rant about the Current State of Our Climate Apocalypse

February 14, 2023 Skip

Should have put this up as the -19 degree F weather happened two weeks ago, but life marches on. So does the weather. In fact, it has marched on well before me and will after me as well.

Storm of the Century?

December 27, 2022 Steve Earle

Five feet of snow in Buffalo NY and it’s still coming down out there. Roofs are collapsing, the power is off, emergency equipment is stuck in snow drifts and people are dying.

Panic over Climate Change Will Get Worse; Vote for Change

September 28, 2022September 27, 2022 Steve Earle

It isn’t even October yet we have had to turn on our heat. Raw, cold nights have made that necessary, so if “global warming” is actually happening, where the heck is it? Last spring was slow in coming and our winter had extended weeks below freezing, then two weeks of really hot, summer days. Now … Read more

UN Caught In Climate Change Cover-Up

August 17, 2022 Aaron Warner

If the “experts” were right, I should be writing this article from a dingy while floating down an overfilled White River. I’m not. In fact, the river is so low I can’t put a dingy in it.

When “Global” Warming Isn’t “Global”

July 25, 2022July 25, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The current heatwave isn’t exactly odd, nor is it special. And it isn’t hotter than days of yore when CO2 was just an itch in your fossil-fuel daddy’s pants. It’s just the weather. Yes, it is hot. There are also too many polar bears now (‘cuz global warming).

Friday Open Thread – It’s Hot, It’s Humid and I Can’t Wait for February!

July 22, 2022 Skip

I hate this time – so far, spring was very cool and the first half of July was fine. Now, we’re paying the piper here in NH and the summer weather has me literally hot under the collar. That’s not even counting the political shenanigans going on locally or nationally! So, how many of you … Read more

2021 Ends With Above Average Precipitation in NH – Just Right But For How Long?

February 3, 2022February 2, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The Climate Cult is in a constant state of panic over the weather and works diligently to lower your opinion to their level of ‘concern.’ The result is Chicken’s Little (like Attorney’s General) scampering about with every forecast. All for naught, but ever persistent.

Where’d The Snow Go? – UC Berkeley: Record December Snowfall in California

January 2, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The most recent La Nina has gifted us (here in New England) with a very mild winter. Not much snow, and I’m not complaining because if you like (or don’t like the weather) in these parts, as the saying goes, wait. It’ll turn on you, possibly like it has here.
