Grok 3 Trusts The Government

The percent of days above freezing so far this year in the US has been 6th lowest on record, and lowest since the record cold year of 1979.

But Grok 3 won’t acknowledge the cold until it hears it from the government.

“Without finalized data for February 2025 (NOAA typically releases monthly summaries mid-March), we can’t confirm if the U.S. is experiencing record warmth this month.”

EPA To Drop CO2 Endangerment Finding

By Paul Homewood

h/t Philip Bratby

Good news from the US:

From the Washington Times:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is about to bury the unscientific idea that carbon dioxide is a pollutant. Dropping this “endangerment finding” represents the beginning of the end for the great global warming hoax.

Under President Barack Obama, the agency in 2009 declared the molecule that enables plants to grow and humans to breathe an enemy of the planetary thermostat. This decree vested the EPA with authority to regulate CO2 as if it were a nasty substance equivalent to black soot, lead, radon or asbestos.

But the public never embraced any of the austerity measures peddled as a remedy for this supposed ailment. Consumers didn’t want to pay extra taxes on cars, nor did they endorse the abolition of affordable sources of electricity. Even Senate Democrats couldn’t bring themselves to vote for the Green New Deal.

Peter Ridd: “The Greenhouse effect is bigger than you think – so don’t worry about it too much”

Essay by Eric Worrall

The greenhouse effect should already be cooking the world – but something keeps it tame.

The surface temperature would be at least 20C hotter than it is, if Greenhouse Gas was the only forcing which matters.

Regular readers of WUWT might already know the secret sauce which keeps the Earth’s surface survivable, but even if you already know the answer, Ridd has a gift for explaining context and complexity, so the video is still well worth watching.

Well worth a few minutes of your time.
