Eric Worrall's paper “…jump over two kebabs of meat every week…” – Flying, nice home heating, and owning a car. UK urges to pay now with a net worth – skip two kebabs per week Climate Change Commission makes recommendations to the government to achieve carbon emission targets by 2050 Fiona Harvey Environment Editorwed February 26, 2025 11.01 AEDT At the end of the next decade, if governments take action against greenhouse gases from energy companies, it is enough to avoid drastic changes in behavior before the end of the next decade, giving up two meat buns per week is…
Germany, Australia, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, other EU countries and the United States have less than one wealthy country [percent] Of the eight billion dollars on Earth, social change is being forced to achieve net zero emissions in the small world within the planet. [emphasis, links added] Wealthier countries are pledging billions of dollars in subsidies to support winners selected by wealthy countries to achieve net zero emissions, i.e., when weather conditions are unfavorable to wind and solar power generation, electricity can be stored. It is immoral for wealthy countries to get rid of crude oil, coal and natural…
President Donald Trump calls for a reboot of the Keystone XL pipeline. Although the energy industry welcomes new business-friendly governments, the Biden administration’s losses are not easy to be revoked. [emphasis, links added] Keystone is a privately funded project that constructs 1,200 miles of pipelines that will carry out 850,000 barrels of crude oil per day from Alberta, Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast. Because it will cross international borders, the U.S. State Department has allowed jurisdiction. In 2015, Obama approved the project, but President Obama, urged by Secretary of State John Kerry, denied the permit in the name of…
People from Manhattan against the trend Francis Menton Back to the beginning of this year, I published a post titled “March to Climate Utopia”. The post notes that everything about New York State’s vision for a zero-emission economy and “climate leadership” is collapsing. Its contracts to replace fossil fuels with a massive offshore wind farm have been completely cancelled (most) or reconsidered at higher and uneconomical prices (minority). Its two contract facilities produce “green” hydrogen to support intermittent winds, and solar energy has encountered financial difficulties and may fail. Its large contracted large capacity transmission line brings imaginary north wind…
No one knows Paul Homewood Press release Environment from the symphony: Symphony environment With NGO financing, plastic policies require greater transparency to eliminate corruption and chaos in legislation. The latest report from the Brussels Morning Post says Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf reveals the discovery that is now shaking the entire EU. They found The European Commission has been providing funding to non-governmental organizations (NGOS) Lobbying for the policies of former EU Commissioner Frans Timmer and influencing politicians to push his “green deal”. It has now been found that the European Commission has provided €1 billion in public funding to green…
Transcript: The ocean absorbs almost one-third of the world's climate-warming carbon pollution, so it plays a crucial role in limiting global warming. Scientists are studying ways to help the oceans absorb and store more carbon dioxide. Alicia Karspec and [C]It is worth mentioning that a nonprofit research team is studying a method called marine alkalinity enhancement. This method involves adding certain crushed minerals, such as lime or silicate, to the ocean. This increases the alkalinity of water, triggering a chemical process that converts dissolved carbon dioxide into molecules called bicarbonate. Then, carbon locked in this form for thousands of years.…
The Washington Post published a report today saying the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recommended that the Trump administration repeal the 2009 “hazardous discovery” that categorizes greenhouse gases as a threat to public health and welfare. For a decade, this discovery has supported federal emission regulations. The post shows that if action is taken, it will mark a major shift in U.S. climate policy. This story relies on unnamed sources, and its claims are unverified, but worth noting given the potential impact. The post article pointed out that Trump administration officials are evaluating whether to reverse hazard risk discovery, which…
Climate scientists have assured us for years that NOAA’s homogeneous temperature datasets, especially the Global Historical Climate Network (GHCN), are the gold standard for tracking global warming. But what if the “correction” applied to these datasets introduces more noise than the signal? A recent study atmosphere Shocking inconsistencies were found in NOAA adjustments, raising serious concerns about the reliability of homogeneous temperature records. The study, which was soon composed of independent climate researchers, was composed of Peter O'Neill, Ronan Connolly, Michael Connolly and Willie. NOAA's homogenization technology was carefully inspected. Known for their expertise in climate data analysis and critical…
Isabella O'MalleyThree tropical cyclones in the South Pacific are spinning, an unusual situation scientists call it.Tropical cyclones Rae, Seru and Alfred are all stirring as the region is starting in November and ending in April.When storms form in the Southwest Pacific and hurricanes in the North Atlantic, these storms are called cyclones, but are basically the same phenomenon.How unusual is this?”It's not very rare to have three hurricanes simultaneously in September at the North Atlantic,” said Brian Tang, professor of atmospheric science at the University of Albany. “Of course, it's a very busy one for the South Pacific. During the…
Eric Worrall's paper Professor Dennis Wesselbaum believes we should act on climate change – but economic harm is not a good reason to do so. Calculating the economic costs of climate change is tricky, or even futile – it’s also a distraction Published: February 25, 2025 1.25pm AEDTDennis WesselbaumAssociate Professor, Department of Economics, University of Otago Climate change is no longer a distant threat. It is here, real, and increasingly affects all of us. … The group's latest assessment report avoids the economic costs of quantifying climate change. Therefore, to understand the economic costs of climate change, we can use…
