In the unfolding extreme winter tragedy in Texas as well as many other regions of the United States not prepared for severe winter weather, a notable point is that much of the vast windmill batteries across the state, supposed to generate 25% of the state electric power grid, have frozen and are largely useless. The recent severe winter weather across not only the continental USA but also large parts of the EU, and even the Middle East, warrants a closer look at a subject that has been too long ignored by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports, as well as by a new group of academics known as Climate Scientists. That is, the influence of our sun on global climate.

A new Cold War = A scalding planet.
Slowing the pace of climate change and getting “tough” on China, especially over its human-rights abuses and unfair trade practices, are among the top priorities President Biden has announced for his new administration. Evidently, he believes that he can tame a rising China with harsh pressure tactics, while still gaining its cooperation in areas of concern to Washington
. As he wrote in
Foreign Affairs during the presidential election campaign, “The most effective way to meet that challenge is to build a united front of U.S. allies and partners to confront China’s abusive behaviors and human rights violations, even as we seek to cooperate with Beijing on issues where our interests converge, such as climate change.” If, however, our new president truly believes that he can build an international coalition to gang up on China

Some of the world’s most popular tourist destinations are at risk of completely vanishing by the end of this century if sea levels continue to rise at the current rate.
A new
report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has found sea levels are set to rise by an alarming 25 per cent by the year 2100.
A change of this magnitude would displace more than 600 million people according to
a study published by Nature Communications in 2019. The same research also found that land home to 300 million people is likely to flood annually by 2050.
Many of the locations most at risk are tourist destinations, with economies that are heavily reliant on the travel sector.
