As COP29 comes to an end in Baku, it leaves behind a series of unfulfilled promises, empty platitudes, and a $300 billion-a-year commitment to climate finance that has come to be viewed as monopoly money. The summit was supposed to be a turning point for participants – a global summit to double down on the Paris Agreement and give developed countries access to more climate cash giveaways. Instead, they woke up to a harsh reality: President Donald J. Trump is back, and his cabinet is determined to crush the green bureaucratic utopia faster than Greta Thunberg can say, “How dare…

not many people know Paul Homewood The COP29 fun has begun! For years, successive COPs have papered over these rifts, but they have now become unbridgeable chasms. The West wants the world to abandon fossil fuels. Developing countries want money, and many Western countries cannot afford it. Meanwhile, China and other countries in Asia want a free pass to cut emissions and pay for it. Major oil-producing countries are saying “Get on your bike!” In Baku, the West has so far pledged $250 billion in annual climate aid until 2035. But taking inflation into account, that's just a little more…
Jonathan Lesser According to a recent publication in dialogueInstalling millions of batteries distributed across the grid, coupled with wind and solar power, in homes, businesses and local communities could avoid investment in new transmission infrastructure. But unless these batteries are installed while physically disconnected from the grid, or consumers are willing to give up reliable power, this argument is another example of power's “magical thinking.” Residential and industrial electricity customers need to be aware of this illusion of home battery storage. First, batteries store electricity; they don't generate it. But measures to electrify U.S. vehicles, as well as space electrification…

In the ever-evolving automotive industry, listening to consumers has always been the cornerstone of sustainable success. In recent years, however, many automakers have turned a deaf ear to consumer preferences and bet heavily on electric vehicles (EVs), despite clear signals that the market is not yet ready to fully embrace EVs. The result? It was a multi-billion dollar disaster, and the companies are still banking on government intervention to undo their mistakes. Money quotes say it all A recent New York Times article underscores this point perfectly: “But they have invested billions of dollars in the transition to electric vehicles…
From the Daily Skeptic Chris Morrison Back in biblical times and beyond, great floods and storms were punishments for those who went against prevailing orthodoxy and beliefs. This is certainly a natural choice for modern climate doomsayers. Needless to say, inconvenient scientific facts are not popular in the Net Zero Latter-day Church, so alarmists are warned to stop reading here. The rest of us can digest Paul Homewood's recent research on the UK climate in 2023, published by the Global Warming Policy Foundation. Sea level rise has shown no acceleration on a multi-decade scale, rainfall has not become more extreme,…
FROM MANHATTANCONTRIAN Francis Menton Over the past two weeks, President-elect Trump has been quick to announce his picks for the Cabinet and other senior positions.
