Climate fact check: September 2025 edition – Debunking claims about temps, hail, corals, wildfires & ‘climate deaths’

https://www.cfact.org/2025/10/11/climate-fact-check-september-2025-edition/ World Meteorological Organization wrong on mean temperature; China coal crushes “renewables;” Al Jazeera wrong on climate, fires, and pollution; insurance not rising due to climate; NYT wrongly asserts climate causing more deaths in Europe; NYT wrong again on coral, climate not causing bigger European hail, and more!

Morano debunks Paul Krugman’s coal & green energy claims: ‘There was a deadly effective ‘war on coal’ unleashed by the Obama & Biden admins’

https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/business/joseph-vazquez/2025/10/02/look-mirror-krugman-accusing-right-having-fossilized-minds LOOK IN MIRROR: Krugman Accusing Right of Having ‘Fossilized Minds’ Is Pretty Hilarious By Joseph Vazquez Bless Paul Krugman’s little birdbrain. The disgruntled propagandist disguising himself as an economist is once again departing from his normal economic mudslinging schtick to kvetch over the climate change boondoogle.

China’s Coal Sets the Stage for AI Dominance – ‘The US may not have enough reliable electricity to compete with China’

China is positioning itself to be the world leader in electricity for the rest of this century, supplementing its massive 1,500 GW of coal with dynamic development programs of nuclear, renewables and hydroelectric, including ongoing construction of the Motuo Hydropower Station of 60 GW, three times greater than their Three Gorges Dam.

Coal provided 45% of electricity in the US as of 2010. After the closure of over 300 coal plants, coal now produces only 16% and, based on the latest DOE forecast, by 2030 coal will provide only 8%. President Trump has taken steps to temporarily protect certain coal plants, but it is important to note that some of the groups filing suit to close the units are the utilities themselves, essentially guaranteeing these plants will eventually be closed.

Watch: Morano on Varney on Fox on how China is trying to trump Trump by issuing UN ‘climate pledge’ – ‘China is being heralded as the green savior’ for a ‘pledge’ despite building 2 coal plants a week

Varney & CO. – Fox Business – Broadcast September 25, 2025 Marc Morano: Donald Trump gave that speech, and it is going to have repercussions for years, because he shifted the narrative, and that’s what we needed. George W. Bush didn’t do it. George HW Bush, Romney, and McCain never would have touched this. When […]

‘Is AI Throwing Climate Change Under the Bus?’ – ‘Spoiler alert: Yes’

Is AI Throwing Climate Change Under the Bus? https://us2.campaign-archive.com/?e=0995fffbb5&u=7c733794100bcc7e083a163f0&id=74fe85119e Inside Climate News: Spoiler alert: Yes, AI is bad for the climate. AI’s computing power relies on massive data centers that use enormous amounts of electricity and water. The Trump administration wants that energy to come from burning fossil fuels, rather than renewable sources. Where does […]

The end of fossil fuel era? ‘Breaking news: it is not’ – ‘Decades more of robust fossil fuel use, with oil & gas demand growing over the next 25 years’

https://www.smh.com.au/business/markets/the-end-of-fossil-fuel-era-it-s-nowhere-near-20250911-p5mudo.html By Javier Blas Excerpt: For the last few years, climate and energy policymakers have convinced themselves the world was inexorably moving away from fossil fuels. That was replaced by a “Stated Policies Scenario” (STEPS), which not only considered current policies but also “policy proposals, even if the specific measures needed to put these proposals […]

Big Tech is overloading the grid. Nuclear, natural gas, & coal can save it

Big Tech is overloading the grid. Nuclear, natural gas, and coal can save it By James Taylor America’s electric grid is in grave danger.
