Axios’ “Climate Anxiety Map” isn’t science—it’s partisan theater. The map mirrors the 2024 election results, with Democrat strongholds reporting the most fear. But it measures emotions, not actual climate impacts. Real data—like flat hurricane trends and declining wildfire acres—contradicts the panic. This isn’t a map of climate risk; it’s a reflection of media-driven alarmism. Axios is peddling narrative over evidence, and the public deserves better than psychological propaganda masquerading as journalism.

Good riddance. May this be the first of many steps toward reining in the arrogance of central planners who believe they have the right — and the competence — to redesign society based on speculative, unprovable theories.

Dramatic confirmation that the sea ice in the Arctic has been stable for nearly two decades is contained in a recently published science paper from a team led by Dr Mark England from the University of Exeter. The finding is of course obvious to anyone who studies the data but it will inconvenience the activist cranks who continue to promote supposed reductions in Arctic sea ice as an important sign of their imaginary ‘tipping points’ and their fake climate crisis. Despite the data showing the ice has been stable over every month in the year since around 2007, Sir David Attenborough told BBC viewers in 2022 that the region could be summer ice-free by 2035. The climate hysteric Al Gore never quite recovered his authority when he said all the ice could be gone by 2014.

Crop production will always have good and bad years in different parts of the world, especially in places with government meddling and mishandling of resources and price fixing which makes it harder for farmers to invest in new cocoa plants when others are growing old, the soils and trees worn out, making them less able to withstand bad weather seasons. Blaming climate change in an effort to rally support for green policies is misleading by the omission of other relevant factors, and is counterproductive to improving cocoa yields and production.

Climate alarmists live in a self-righteous bubble where humankind is the scoundrel. Nature is optimal and fragile; anthropogenic change cannot be good, even toward greening, warming, and moistening. Think about that nonpolluting trace gas, carbon dioxide (CO2).

Gov. Josh Shapiro’s proposal to cap electricity prices could, perversely, lead to higher customer bills and a greater risk of blackouts, according to America’s Power, a trade organization of coal-fired power plants.

"... we can see that ..., we are actually engaging with unique audiences and bringing people along to that conversation. ..."

Spain and Portugal, both of which generate a majority of their electricity with renewables, were simultaneously hit by widespread power outages on Monday, with no explanation immediately forthcoming about the cause. Some reports said the outages also hit some parts of France.

Separately, Nelson has made a thing out of compiling a growing list of “Signs That The Climate Scam Is Collapsing.” That list is now up to some 33 items and counting. The current version can be found here. Readers of this blog are likely already familiar with many of the items on Tom’s list. However, today I would like to feature a couple of items from Tom’s list that are important but may be less well known.

Quote of the Week: “In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place, oblige it to control itself.” — James Madison (1788)
