The Man who would be King
09 Jan 2023 Leave a comment
On January 8th 1935, two baby boys were born in Tupelo, Mississippi, to Vernon Elvis and Gladys Love, Jesse Garon Presley and 35 minutes later Elvis Aaron Presley. Jesse Garon was a stillborn, Elvis would live to become the Man who would be King.
Elvis’ first name comes from his father, Vernon Elvis Presley. However, the origins of Vernon’s middle name remain unclear to this day. One theory is that the name was an homage to a 6th-century Irish saint.
Elvis’ first big hit, “Heartbreak Hotel,” was inspired by a newspaper article about a man who killed himself by jumping from a hotel window in Florida. His suicide note read, “I walk a lonely street.”
On his 11th birthday, Elvis was really hoping for a new bike (some say a rifle), but much to his disappointment, was given a guitar instead.
Elvis Presley met Richard Nixon on December 21, 1970…

Expert discusses La Niña and El Niño cycles effects on Australia
08 Jan 2023 Leave a comment
The last El Niño was 6-7 years ago, but elapsed time can’t on its own be a guarantee of one this year. Neutral ENSO conditions are another option. As usual an assertion about warming from greenhouse gases is thrown in, with no evidence to back it up.
– – –
Climate models indicate La Niña is on the way out, with El Niño conditions expected later this year, claims Phys.org.
CSIRO Climate Scientist Dr. Wenju Cai explains what this means for Australia’s weather and how changing conditions will affect the country.
Is La Niña really on the way out? What do the climate models tell us?
We are in the mature season of the current three-consecutive La Niña years. During the three years, heat has been stored in the equatorial Pacific Ocean.

Environment Humor
08 Jan 2023 Leave a comment
I normally share humor about collectivism, gun control, politicians, and libertarians, but let’s augment my sparse collection of environment humor.
We’ll start with a video clip from the United Kingdom.
What makes the video amusing (and sad) is that it captures how politicians largely see global warming as an excuse to do things they have always wanted to do – i.e., grab more power and control.
Next, we have two examples of Greta humor, starting with this gas cap.
And this peek into the future.
Our fourth item shows how insufficient commitment to the environment can lead to personal loss.
As usual, I’ve saved the best for last.
Professor Glenn Reynolds (aka, Instapundit) famously has remarked that “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who keep telling me it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.”
But as we repeatedly see, the people…

Coming Soon: Menu Climate Warnings

Baylen Linnekin writes at Reason Public Health Researchers Float Idea of Climate-Change Warnings on Menu Items. Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.
Warning diners that red meat is bad for the environment is yet another attempt
to socially engineer food choices.
A study released last week suggests that fast-food menus that feature labels urging diners not to order red meat off those same menus due to the “climate impact” of those food items can help convince customers to swap out red meat for what the researchers argue are more climate-friendly foods—from fruits and vegetables to poultry and seafood. The study, published in Jama Network Open and led by researchers from Johns Hopkins University, concludes that “climate impact menu labels may be an effective strategy to promote more sustainable restaurant food choices and that labels highlighting high-climate impact items may be most effective.”
The study’s data comes…
