Chris Morrison Earlier this week, Labor backbencher Bill Esterson, chairman of the UK Parliament's energy committee, noted that people will have to adapt their habits to meet the 2030 net-zero emissions target. Like a donkey, it deserves applause. For now. Try to reduce energy demand by 30%. After 2030, it is contemplated that all beef, lamb and dairy products will be banned and “replaced by new diets”. Then there was a massive 45% reduction in the use of the most common building materials, such as cement, and a similar reduction in road freight volumes. As fertilizer restrictions halve “direct emissions”…

not many people know Paul Homewood h/t Ian Magness Europe's largest dairy company is facing a backlash after adding synthetic additives to dairy cow feed. Try to reduce methane emissions. Arla, which makes brands such as Lurpak cream and Cravendale milk, said it was working with Morrisons, Tesco and Aldi to trial adding the Bovaer additive to dairy cows. 30 of Arla's 9,000 farmers will test how Additives can be introduced into normal feeding routineswith the aim of promoting Bovaer more broadly. Arla said Bovaer was found to reduce methane emissions from dairy cows by about 27%. Morrisons, Tesco and…

It’s time we asked an important question: Who needs ruthless objectivity when you’re trying to save the world from climate catastrophe? Apparently not a climate scientist, according to a recently published article natural climate change Authors: Schipper, Maharaj and Pecl. This manifesto—masquerading as a scientific review—argues that emotions, anxieties, and dissatisfactions belong in the laboratory, next to Bunsen burners and climate models. Because, why not? The article begins with a bold premise: “The dominant paradigm that science is always objective needs to be challenged.” And challenge it! Objectivity is the cornerstone of scientific inquiry, yet it is cast aside as…

This week’s announcement of plans to close the Vauxhall van factory in Luton highlights the difficulties the UK continues to face in its transition to electric vehicles (EVs). [emphasis, links added] Experts say the popularity of electric cars has failed to keep pace with government plans for British manufacturers to sell only zero-emission cars by 2030. Stellantis, which owns Vauxhall and several other car brands, blamed its decision to close the Luton plant on “the UK's 'strict' zero-emission vehicle directive”Yahoo News UK said it triggered a debate about the feasibility of Labour's goals. Automakers face fines if they don't meet…

The discovery, from the University of East Anglia and the Did Someone Tell Al Gore? department, illustrates the vast complexity of Earth's atmosphere and its systems. Oceans emit more sulfur and cool climate than previously thought. Researchers have quantified for the first time global emissions of sulfur gas produced by marine life, finding that it is cooling the climate to a greater extent than previously thought, particularly in the Southern Ocean. The research is published in the journal scientific progress, Show that the ocean not only captures and redistributes the sun's heat, but also produces gases that produce particles that…

Basic building blocks of the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) paradigm fail molecular chemistry. [emphasis, links added] The idea that we can and must reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to avoid climate catastrophes such as runaway global warming or ocean acidification does not stand up to intense academic scrutiny, according to a new study. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is a mitigation strategy that proposes storing carbon dioxide underground in order to reduce emissions to “net zero” by 2050. practice [of CCS] Tens of trillions of dollars are expected to be spent over the next few decades. New analysis shows…

The UK government's main climate change adviser insists Britons will have to fly less, eat less meat and use public transport more often to meet net zero targets. [emphasis, links added] The regulations put forward to MPs today directly contradict Mr. Keir Starmer Earlier this month it was revealed that reducing greenhouse gas emissions does not mean Britons have to change the way they live. The new target means that UK emissions should be reduced to 81% of 1990 levels by 2035. Speech at the COP29 Summit Azerbaijan two weeks ago, The Prime Minister said he would not “tell people…

In the pantheon of academic absurdity, there are some works that are so mind-boggling that they shake faith in higher education. “Loving Brine Shrimp: Exploring Queer Feminist Blue Postanthropology to Reimagine the “American Dead Sea”” is such an essay. Reading this essay on the intersection of brine shrimp, queer theory, and “aquasexuality” is like stepping into a postmodern fever dream—a world where practical concerns like water scarcity take second place to the eroticism of aquatic ecosystems. debate.
