The EPA’s revocation of the 2009 endangerment finding shifts the burden of proof from federal agencies to state capitals. Governors who declared climate emergencies must now demonstrate with regional data that rising carbon dioxide (CO2) endangers their residents. Wisconsin cannot meet that burden.
In 2019, Wisconsin declared climate change a crisis requiring the state’s electricity to be carbon-free by 2050, citing worsening extreme weather as justification. Since then, the state has spent $6 billion on renewable infrastructure while residents pay 15% more for electricity than the Midwest average.
A new report by the Weiss Energy Policy Institute analyzed 130 years of Wisconsin climate data and found that as atmospheric CO2 rose 45%, Wisconsin experienced 63% fewer days over 90°F, heatwaves 71% shorter in duration, powerful tornadoes down 70%, and significant drought decline since 1894. This isn’t just absence of evidence, it’s negative correlation. As CO2increased, climate extremes decreased.
In addition to the improving climate, the report also notably found that rural Wisconsin’s average temperature has not changed since 1894. Urban areas, on the other hand, have warmed about 2.2°F since the late nineteenth century. The report finds that this urban warming is nearly entirely due to the Urban Heat Island effect from concrete and development, not CO2. In many measurable ways, Wisconsin’s climate has become more conducive to human flourishing over the past century.
“In addition to the improving climate, the report also notably found that rural Wisconsin’s average temperature has not changed since 1894. Urban areas, on the other hand, have warmed about 2.2°F since the late nineteenth century.”
This is NOT an anomaly. How do we know this?
The NOAA set up The Climate Reference Network 21 years ago. The network consists of 114 rural weather stations spread across the US.
I live in Montana and there is one of these weather stations in St Mary, MT. That is the main entrance to the East side of Glacier National Park and the Going to The Sun Road. The only thing around this weather station is a 6 foot high cyclone fence and an occasional grizzly bear. Nothing within 100 feet, so no asphalt roads, no buildings etc. So no siting violations like 90% of the larger and older national weather station network which is totally corrupted
This network has reported ZERO increase in temperatures in its 21 years.

The screaming and gnashing of teeth in California must be audible for a hundred miles.
Californians who don’t want CO2 emissions should stop breathing.
Nah. We have EXTREME weather here in CA. 4 years of EXTREME drought, has been followed by 4 years of EXTREME precipitation. So EXTREME that we have neverending wildfires … Oroville dam lost its spillway … and now … our roads and highways are pockmarked with axle-busting potholes.
You know why you have axle-busting pothole’s?
Gavin is trying to make a case for high speed rail.
Yep. Been doing it since Jerry Brown’s 3-terms as Gov.
Kenji
Serious question; what are they spending the high speed rail money on?

All the proof in the world means nothing to the true believers…. they would rather murder you than change their minds about the The great green awakening. :It’s a fool wo never changes his mind”
Waste of time talking to the left in general.
CLIMATE CRISIS STATES or PAY TO PLAY
The Democrat Controlled States
Declaring Climate Crisis Besides Wisconsin
California
New York
Washington
Illinois
Massachusetts
New Jersey
Oregon
California was one of the first states to declare a climate emergency, focusing on ambitious goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
New York has also taken significant steps, including legislation for climate risk reporting and accountability for large companies.
Washington and Illinois have introduced laws requiring companies to report their emissions, aligning with California’s standards.
…Illinois have introduced laws requiring companies to report their emissions… a perfect setup for kickbacks and bribes (Pay to Play) to state officials. It explains the Democrat embrace of climate change
Wisconsin is a microcosm of the country and democrat strategy. The democrats rioted, and took over the capital during Scott Walkers term. (I thought that was an insurrection?) Weak minded voters just wanted the violence to go away so they elected the weak and stupid guy they have now who has implemented nothing but higher taxes, higher power rates etc. You get what you vote/ask for. Good and hard.
BLM riots were successful in getting Biden elected, now they are trying the ICE riots. If dems need to sacrifice a few more stupid white women to win the election, they will.

” Weak minded voters”
You spelt Bible pounders wrong.
Isn’t it too early to be hitting the bottle already?
sooooooooo basically lotsa folks in charge cannot, or will not, or egad, utterly unawares of a thingy called basic research.
all fitting in the narcissist era where one merely need ‘declare’ a thing to be true and all and everyone MUST MUST MUST agree or phobic racist.
more evidence we ARE in the biginning stages of The End Times. and THAT is out of my research
In the rural Alberta community in which I grew up there was a manual weather station operated by the same family for at least 100 years. At some point it was changed to an automated station which have been accused of unreliable results. Then it disappeared. I suspect the results didn’t fit the narrative.
The Greatest Financial Scam in Human History. (Remember the Solyndra).

But, but, but … my dog … we have only FIVE (more) YEARS before we reach the tipping point where the planet spirals completely, inexorably, into the pit of hell. And I’m not talking about using mistaken pronouns for birthing earth.
On a serious note, the joke is on anyone who thinks they know what the climate is doing.
Ok, return all urban cement and pavement to grass and gravel to save the planet. I’m sure the purists who run these cities would be happy to comply.
These Krazy Klimate Kooks are almost as devout as the Muslims and tranny apologists. Things could get ugly.
As with BLM protestors during the Covid Panic I’m sure that there is a Muslim exemption and a Tranny exemption; to say nothing of the China exemption that permits that nation to erect thousands of coal-fired power plants and yet we hear not a word of complaint from the Climate Faithful.
Nobody is interested in stuff that is contrary to the narrative. The climate change nonsense will eventually fade away but it was very useful in stopping white liberals from having children.
We do not encourage white liberals to reproduce. For ANY reason.
When Gondek got the nod to take the reins in Calgary as mayor, even before she was sworn in as mayor “she”(still under NDP Nenshi’s mandate; a collusion of a power grab) made a “Climate Change Emergency” declaration. While in the throws of CV19, this pronouncement enabled all spending to never be under oversight, she had full and unaccountable authority to lock the city down with mandates, restricted movement and gave police carte blance powers.
That, we now see, was unconstitutional, like the awake realized and shouted from the rooftops since this whole charade began, requires justice.
Our courts are part if the Elite mechanism, so that will not happen until the whole system is shredded into a billion pieces and replaced with real and fair laws and accountability. We have been waiting for a very long time and will continue to wait…not holding my breath.
If electricity is 15% above average, why are there 40+ data centers being planned?
