from legal riots In today's environment, having a governor target one of the country's most popular entrepreneurs and harm his citizens is unappealing to Americans. By 2028, it will be even less attractive. Posted by Leslie Eastman California’s corporate wars continue, and state leadership still hasn’t learned any lessons from Tesla’s headquarters, X’s headquarters, and Chevron leaving the state for Texas.

The UK is fully committed to achieving net zero emissions. This is the ratio of one of the pictures above. I think British politicians still think of themselves as a global power. Sorry, that ship has sailed. Meanwhile, our resident whistleblower and fact-finder Willis Eschenbach wrote a piece two weeks ago defining just how much of an impact the UK’s net-zero madness is having on global temperatures: Keir Starmer's climate madness For those of you who are not climate workers, the answer won’t surprise you.

There's been a lot of bad news lately for supporters of the climate agenda and net-zero policies. COP29, the United Nations' annual climate conference, has failed to live up to campaigners' ideals. [emphasis, links added] The United Nations admitted in October that no progress had been made towards net-zero emissions. In the United States, voters elected a president who blatantly calls climate change a hoax. Gabriella Hoffman, Director of the Energy and Conservation Center at the Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) Just news That Climate change is only a minor issue on voters' minds, while the state of the economy and…

Article by Eric Worrell Taking “model output is data” to a new level… Artificial intelligence reveals Europe’s hidden climate extremes Andre IonescuEarth.com Staff Writer … Traditionally, climate scientists have relied on statistical methods to interpret these data sets, but a recent breakthrough demonstrates the power of artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize this process. Previously unrecorded climate extremes A team led by Étienne Plésiat from the German Center for Climate Computing in Hamburg, together with colleagues from the UK and Spain, applied artificial intelligence to reconstruct climate extremes in Europe. The study not only confirmed known climate trends but also revealed…

Germany's carbon dioxide tax will increase from the current 45 euros per ton to 55 euros in early 2025, pushing up heating and energy costs for consumers and businesses. [emphasis, links added] A sharp rise means CO2 tax nearly doubled in just two years. In 2023, the carbon tax will be €30 [$32] For you. But according to Blackout News, there's more to it than that. The carbon dioxide tax is levied by value-added tax, which is currently 19%. “Homes and businesses that rely on gasoline, diesel, heating oil or natural gas are facing increasing financial challenges.” Blackout News wrote.…

UK payers spent a 'ridiculous' £1 billion [$1.26bn] So far this year, wind turbines have been temporarily shut down as the grid struggles to cope with their power supply. [emphasis, links added] According to official data, about 6.6 gigawatt hours (GWh) of wind power will be “cut” in the first 11 months of 2024, up from 3.8 gigawatt hours (GWh) for all of last year. Browning is paying to have wind turbines shut down during strong winds to stop surges in electricity from overwhelming the grid. Households and businesses pay for the policy through their bills. The cost of closure…

The Nation recently published a post titled “Climate Change is a Real National Security Threat,” claiming that climate change is the reason hurricanes Helen and Milton have caused such devastation and is the number one national security threat facing the United States. This is nonsense. [emphasis, links added] Not only is there no evidence to support the idea that climate change is “exacerbating” hurricanes, But contrary to the claims of The Nation, Mass migration and unrest are not caused by climate change either. The Nation begins by describing the usual threat assessment report submitted to Congress by the Director of…

not many people know Paul Homewood h/t Ralph Ellis Not only is this dishonest, it's dangerous! https://twitter.com/nationalgriduk/status/1862462972624294015?s=12 The storage capacity is 600 MWh and is not designed to be used “when needed”. Hornsea 3 has a generating capacity of 2.9 GW, so the 600 MWh can only be maintained for 12 minutes when the wind stops. What it really does is balance the grid frequency, since wind output can fluctuate even from minute to minute. If we were not so reliant on wind power there would be no need for this storage, and its costs would not be borne by…

The Biden administration moved just before Thanksgiving to ban future coal leasing in the Powder River Basin, one of the richest coal-rich regions in the United States, according to multiple reports. [emphasis, links added] According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, [the Powder River Basin, which spans parts of Montana and Wyoming, accounted for about 43% of U.S. coal in 2019].

Children at Alameda Elementary School in Portland, Ore., ride their bikes to school together every week. This bicycle parade follows a fixed route, with children and parents joining the growing convoy along the way. Physical education teacher Sam Barto organized the bike bus a few years ago. Balto: “It was a huge success. We had 75 kids and we continued to do it every Wednesday for the rest of the school year. By encouraging cycling instead of driving, bike buses can limit the carbon pollution that contributes to planet warming. Barto also said bicycling has become safer as more people…
