Benzinga.com reports, "As the U.S. economy is grappling with multiple headwinds that have been spearheaded by the impact of the Federal Reserve's aggressive rate hikes, another risk is looming on the horizon: dry weather."

TechnologyReview.com ran an article a couple of years ago, but it's worth reviewing again. "Plummeting sunny day solar prices are undermining the economic case to build more solar farms – and putting climate goals at risk."

A blog post by Myron Ebell and Steven J. Milloy published by the Competitive Enterprise Institute asserts,

"Modern doomsayers have been predicting climate and environmental disaster since the 1960s. They continue to do so today.

"None of the apocalyptic predictions with due dates as of today have come true.

Yet, major media networks, universities, "experts", politicians and bureaucrats continue to push the claims.

An article by Peter Jacobsen appeared in FEE claiming that Paul Ehrlich, notorious doomsayer, has been wrong for almost 60 years, and this his appearance on TV's 60 Minutes provided undue recognition.

"In his segment, Ehrlich tries to convince viewers we’re on a fast track to an environmental disaster of existential proportions, particularly when it comes to animal extinctions.

"Ehrlich has been singing this same song for nearly 60 years."

As much as we hate them, hurricanes can make a bird-watcher’s dream come true. Powerful winds send birds from distant locations far north along coastlines, or even inland. You might even find some rare species from Africa or the Caribbean in your own backyard. So, get outdoors and scout for birds before the wind dies down!
