- Fact check: White House says global warming is making billions sick
Journalist Marc Morano, who co-wrote and stars in the upcoming documentary Climate Hustle, told Sean Hannity last December that the "levers of control of the global warming movement are crafting a narrative and they're actually erasing the [climate] past on many important things." Morano says the "myths and hype about man-made global warming" will be examined in his new film, which can be seen nationwide on May 2. With opening remarks by Rep. Lamar Smith, the film will be screened April 14 by invitation only on Capital Hill, with a notable panel discussion that includes Gov. Sarah Palin, Bill Nye, climatologist David Legates, and other experts.
- Fed Study: ‘Climate change’ threatens hearts, lungs but also brains
The peer-reviewed study by eight federal agencies can be found here.
'Climate change also threatens mental health, the study found. Post traumatic stress disorder, depression, and general anxiety can all result in places that suffer extreme weather linked to climate change, such as hurricanes and floods. More study needs to be done on assessing the risks to mental health, it said.'...
John Holdren, Obama's senior science adviser, said steps the world agreed to in Paris last year to curb emissions through 2030 can help fight the risks to health. "We will need a big encore after 2030 ... in order to avoid the bulk of the worst impacts described in this report," he said.

The new global warming ‘pause’ increases to nearly 8 years – No warming since March 2014
On the HadCRUT4 data, there has been no global warming for close to eight years, since March 2014. That period can be expected to lengthen once the HadCRUT data are updated – the “University” of East Anglia is slower at maintaining the data these days than it used to be.

The Real Threat to Banks Isn’t From Climate Change. It’s From Bankers.
Michael Shellenberger: A major new staff report from the New York Federal Reserve Bank throws cold water on the over-heated rhetoric coming from activist investors, bankers, and politicians. “How Bad Are Weather Disasters for Banks?” asks the title of the report by three economists. “Not very,” they answer in the first sentence of the abstract.
The reason is because “weather disasters over the last quarter century had insignificant or small effects on U.S. banks’ performance.” The study looked at FEMA-level disasters between 1995 and 2018, at county-level property damage estimates, and the impact on banking revenue.

UK Independent promotes ‘personal carbon quotas’ as ‘demonstrably do-able’ – ‘Every person in UK be given a monthly carbon budget to balance between heating, travel, energy & food’
UK Independent: "Your home, sometime in the next decade. You click the heating on and receive an app notification telling you how much of your carbon allowance you’ve used today. Outside in the drive, your car’s fuel is linked to the same account. In the fridge, the New Zealand lamb you’ve bought has cost not just pounds and pence but a chunk of this monthly emissions budget too. Welcome to the world of personal carbon allowances – a concept that is increasingly gaining traction among experts as a possible response to the climate crisis. Each month, it would see every person or household in the country given a limited emissions quota to spend on heating, energy, travel, food and possibly consumer goods. Those who wish to expend more could buy top-ups. Those who require less would be able to sell their left-overs back to the ‘grid’." ... Now, in the wake of Cop26, many feel the concept – radical, perhaps, but demonstrably do-able – has never been riper for consideration. So, could this be our future? ... “By establishing an equal monthly budget for everyone, you create a sense of a shared effort to address a shared problem,” says Fawcett.#Covid/Climate: "Enamoured by lockdown, the puritans wish for a perma-pandemic in which no-one, nowhere, will be happy"- Ron Clutz: "This all sounds like one’s entire life would be recorded and regulated and monitored and meddled with by politicians who’ll punish or praise, all in pursuit of a vague utopia."
