California is proud of its climate leadership. The nation’s work on transportation—its largest source of emissions—is no exception. Its electric vehicle policy has been adopted by other states across the country. Sacramento lawmakers have also taken ambitious steps to reduce car use entirely, enacting regulations designed to reshape neighborhoods and encourage walking, biking and public transportation. But reality often fails to realize this vision. In particular, communities across the state continue to invest heavily in highway expansion projects that undermine efforts to change the way people travel. Due to a phenomenon known as “induced travel,” these programs cause Californians to…
Installing solar panels can help homeowners reduce their use of fossil fuels and their impact on the climate. Using solar energy can also help homeowners save money on their energy bills. In some states, this is accomplished through a system called net metering. When a solar-powered home requires more power than the panels can produce, the home can use power from the grid to help keep the lights on. Homeowners pay for the extra energy, just like other electricity users. But at other times, the solar panels may produce more energy than the house needs. In this case, excess energy…
not many people know Paul Homewood I've been following Climate Now for a while. They were founded to influence journalism around the world, essentially by telling lies to advance an alarmist agenda: Cover climate support now, convening and training journalists and newsrooms to produce rigorous climate reporting that engages audiences. CCNow, co-founded in 2019 by the Columbia Journalism Review, The Nation, The Guardian and WNYC, invites journalists around the world to change how our profession covers the defining stories of our time. Unless news media around the world dramatically improve and expand climate coverage, there simply won’t be the public…
Taken from Bank of England report Terry Ettam Will LNG Canada boost and stabilize Canadian natural gas prices? Not so fast… There was an article in last week's Bank of England report worth reading titled “Canadian Gas Companies Eager for LNG Boom, Oversupplied Swamp Market” which sums up the current situation quite well. Surprisingly, over the summer, the cheapest thing I could think of – candy, stamps, anything – was ten joules of gas, ten of which could take care of a modest house for a month. What a world. However, there is a potential caveat in the article -…
from climaterealism Author: Linny Luken The most recent article is located at Forbes”Four Deadly Weather Extremes: Climate Forecasters' Achilles' Heel” is a mixture of true and false claims about the effects of climate change and warming. Forbes is correct that existing data does not show that extreme weather is getting worse, but it is wrong in some of its other assertions, such as that coral reefs are in danger. First, writer Ian Palmer describes the so-called Exxon Knew scandal, citing some of the predictions about carbon dioxide emissions and global warming contained in models built by ExxonMobil in the 1980s.…
From the Daily Caller Adam ParkerContributor Environmental justice advisers in the Biden-Harris administration will receive or influence the distribution of nearly $500 million in grant funding from the agencies they advise. The advisers are members of the 36-member White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council (WHEJAC), a humble but influential White House agency created by executive order in January 2021 to advise federal agency heads Provide policy recommendations as part of President Joe Biden's “overall policy.” The vast majority of grants to environmental justice activist groups represented on the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council (WHEJAC) are among the $41.5 billion…
European colonialism methodically extracted wealth from Africa until the system collapsed last century, when it was replaced by climate colonialism, which stifled the economic development the continent desperately needed. [emphasis, links added] The highly politicized climate industry complex enables Western governments and international institutions such as the United Nations to exert soft power over the energy policies of poorer countries. Advancing a green agenda and providing seemingly irresistible funding and technical assistance in the name of saving humanity from a fabricated climate emergency, Colonists insisted on replacing fossil fuels with unreliable and expensive wind and solar energy. Yet Africans have…
Germany's economy has been in decline and business confidence has eroded since a coalition of SPD socialists, green environmentalists and the liberal FDP took over the government in late 2021. [emphasis, links added]Today Blackout News reported that the German Socialist Party/Green Party/Liberal Party government has once again lowered its economic outlook. Recall that the economy will recover strongly in 2021, with GDP growth reaching 2.7%. But at the end of the year, the Socialists, Greens and Liberals took over, promising a green revolution. Economic growth will slow almost immediately to 1.9% in 2022 and to 0.1% in 2023. But there’s…
Vijay Jayaraj European colonialism, which methodically extracted wealth from Africa until the system collapsed last century, has now been replaced by climate colonialism, which stifles the economic development the dark continent desperately needs. The highly politicized industrial complex enables Western governments and international institutions such as the United Nations to exert soft power over the energy policies of poorer countries. Colonists advance a so-called green agenda in the name of saving humanity from a trumped-up climate emergency, with seemingly irresistible offers of money and technology that insist on replacing fossil fuels with unreliable and expensive wind and solar power. Yet…
The tropical Atlantic has calmed down after a period of intense activity in early October, and we are observing two tropical disturbances with a low probability of developing into named storms. Hurricane Milton will likely end up being the last named storm in October. However, it’s not too early to close the books on the 2024 Atlantic hurricane season now as a pulse of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is due to arrive in the Atlantic in early November, increasing the likelihood of rising air and tropical cyclone formation. morning.
