    Is Climate Change Abe Lincoln’s Fault? - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Mark Twain said, “Climate is what we expect, weather is what we get.” His real name was Samuel Clemens, and in 1863, he adopted ‘Mark Twain’ as a pen name. The most common explanation of where the name came from is that as the riverboat men on the Mississippi measured the depth of the water, they would call out ‘mark twain’ at the ‘two fathom’ mark on a rope. A fathom is about six feet, so that mark indicated that there was twelve feet of water, and so it was safe for the boat to move. There is,

    Greenland’s Icecap Grew This Year - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Greenland’s icecap is melting away thanks to global warming, at least that is what we are told.

    “The [climate issue] perception gap is an information problem” - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Ingmar Rentzhog’s August 16, 2026 Forbes article “Why The 89% Climate Majority Keeps Losing” asserts that while polling shows a supposed 89% majority of people approve action to stop climate change, this ‘majority’ is seemingly unaware of how they have the public pressure power to get such action done. With particular regard to what he suggests is the disparity between having power and then using it, he offered this basic truism: The perception gap is an information problem, and information prob

    The Green Climate Fund Ran Short of Other People’s Money - Watts Up With That? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The UN’s climate funds spent a July dialogue asking for more money. The best thing America did was stop sending it. On July 14, the UN’s Adaptation Committee put fund managers, negotiators, and development bankers on a video call to work through a problem that clearly has them rattled. The money is drying up. The Green Climate Fund, the Global Environment Facility, and the Adaptation Fund all sent people to explain how developing countries can tap them for cash. What they mostly did was ask for
