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. The announcements include Trump’s nominees for the three top positions in climate and energy policy: EPA Administrator (Lee Zeldin), Energy Secretary (Chris Wright) and Interior Secretary (Doug Burgo Tom). In this post, I’ll take a first look at the nominees. There is no doubt that these three Trump appointees will achieve greater results than the Biden administration officials they will replace: Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Interior Secretary Deb…
from CFACT Craig Luck The amount of money needed for the United Nations climate conference in Azerbaijan is staggering. The United Nations estimates that the current global climate expenditure is US$3 trillion per year, and hopes to invest US$3.5 trillion per year in energy transition by 2050. A trillion here, a trillion there, and pretty soon you're talking about real money. They are pushing for so-called “new collective quantified targets” at the 29th Conference of the Parties in Baku. This mainly means a climate redistribution of wealth from developed to developing countries. Delegates are well aware that such huge spending…
https://www.theverge.com/2024/11/19/24300541/disinformation-climate-change-g20-summit-united-nations In yet another chilling example of Orwellian overreach, the G20 summit in Brazil unveiled a new international effort to suppress dissent under the banner of “fighting disinformation.” This latest plan is called Global Climate Change Information Integrity Initiative, Led by the United Nations and UNESCO. With financial war chests provided by countries such as Britain, France and Sweden, this measure has nothing to do with “truth” or “science” but rather with control. It brings together countries, international organizations and stakeholders from around the world to promote and defend the integrity of climate change information, tackle disinformation, and increase climate…
An Atlanta News First (ANF) article published on November 18 claimed that climate change is affecting Georgia farmers and restaurants that rely on local produce. This is obviously wrong. Empirical data on temperature and crop yields refute this claim. The article titled “Georgia farmers and restaurateurs say climate change threatens way of life,” written by Abby Kousouris, promotes the claim that climate change is generally warming the planet and adversely affecting agriculture. This claim, although often asserted by climate alarmists, has been specifically debunked by regional climate and crop data. Contrary to the common belief that global warming causes uniform…
heartland institute The latest United Nations climate conference, COP29, is about to conclude in Baku, Azerbaijan – the conference has been held in the “oil country” for the second consecutive year. Add to that the election of Donald Trump just before the conference, and it's pretty grim stuff if you're a global climate alarmist. But for some, it was a blast, including CFACT's Craig Rucker and Marc Morano, who attended the meeting as usual. They will give us an on-the-ground report on what even proponents of the global climate command and control agenda admit is a disaster. In Episode 136,…
