As the Washington, D.C. Climate March took place this past weekend; a new report from Climate Depot may be like a proverbial rain on their parade.

According to the report, the federal government has just released another key piece of scientific data, one that counters claims of man-made global warming.

The data, from the U.S. Drought Monitor report, shows that droughts in the U.S. are at record lows in 2017.

Drought in the U.S. fell to a record low this week, with just 6.1% of the lower 48 states currently experiencing such dry conditions,” federal officials announced recently.

That’s the lowest percentage in the 17-year history of the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor report.”

While climate activists, including former Vice President Al Gore, have made a number of climate claims, including declaring California to be permanent drought, Mother Nature disagrees – the most recent winter cycle saw close to record flooding in the state, and concerns about additional flooding as spring and summer weather melts snow in the mountains.

In spite of the evidence to the contrary, Gore says, “Every night on the news now, practically, is like a nature hike through the book of Revelations.” 

 

Extreme Weather — Mobile Homes, Manufactured Homes, and Conventional Housing Construction?

When bad weather does strike, one of the big misconceptions related to shelter is that modern manufactured homes (built to HUD Code standards, post-1976 – and most notably post the 1994 manufactured home code update – when properly installed, are not less safe than traditional site-built houses.

Tim Reinhold, Ph.D., Chief Engineer for the independent Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) disagrees.

That box [manufactured homes] is going to be built better than any [conventional] home, unless it’s built to hurricane standards.”
