Not long ago, companies and investors liked to brag about their commitments to reduce emissions of climate-warming greenhouse gases to net zero by 2050. no longer. Now, the “net zero” rhetoric has become a political football, with more than a dozen Republican-majority state legislatures harshly criticizing banks, investment managers and companies that talk about climate change and have emissions reduction targets. Nonetheless, companies and investors recognize the financial risks posed by climate change and have in most cases adhered to these commitments and taken initial steps to achieve them. They just don’t talk about it that much. A polarizing election…
In Arkansas, Hallie Shoffner grows rice, soybeans and other crops on land her family has farmed for more than a century. But as the climate warms, making a living becomes increasingly difficult, she said. Heat waves are becoming more common. Shoffner: “Rice is very sensitive to high temperatures at night. It affects the quality of the grain…Farmers can't…get as much money for a lower-quality crop. Rainfall has become more erratic, flooding has increased and droughts have intensified. In dry years, Shofner spent a lot of money on irrigation. With tough conditions year after year, it's harder for farms to stay…
not many people know Paul Homewood While Miliband puts our energy security at risk, Poland is building new gas plants: PGE, Poland's largest electricity producer, said the 1,366-MW PGE Gryfino Dolan Odra power station has entered commercial operation. The facility is currently the largest gas-fired power plant in the country. Officials said on November 8 that the power station would supply about 5% of Poland's electricity. PGE officials said the plant is “one of the most modern in Europe.” PGE CEO Dariusz Marzec said at Friday's launch ceremony that the investment “will strengthen Poland's energy security and ensure a stable…
from NoTricksZone Author: P Gosselin, November 10, 2024 At 5pm last Wednesday, Germany's 1,602 offshore wind turbines in the North and Baltic Seas were at a standstill… and their solar output was close to zero. Germany had to struggle to maintain supplies. Author: KlimaNachrichten In the words of Professor Claudia Kemfert: The idea that solar and wind power cannot provide enough electricity is a myth. The myth that somewhere in Europe there will be enough wind and sunshine is shattered at the start of November 2024.

From the Daily Caller Adam ParkerContributor Critics of the offshore wind industry are calling on President-elect Trump to fulfill his campaign promise to end federal support for offshore wind on his first day in office. Trump's return to the Oval Office could deal another blow to the troubled offshore wind industry if the Trump administration follows through on his pledge to eliminate federal support for offshore wind projects during his second term. Republican lawmakers who oppose heavy subsidies for green energy and commercial fishermen who see the industry as an existential threat to their livelihoods are calling on the president-elect…

From Dr. Roy Spencer's Global Warming Blog Dr. Roy Spencer notes: Because of his extensive investigation into some of the incredible high temperatures reported in Death Valley, I asked Bill Reed to comment on my previous blog post in which I maintained the world record of 134 degrees. F The maximum temperature recorded may be about 10 degrees warmer and should not be considered a world record. Here are Bill's initial thoughts on the subject. Also, based on his comments, I might update the chart in my previous blog post with more realistic temperature lapse rate values from the early…
not many people know Paul Homewood https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/electricity- Generation-costs-2023 I asked DESNZ to send me the results of their work on the levelized cost of generation published last year. At that time, their cost for CCGT was £114/MWh, or £54/MWh (excluding irrelevant carbon costs). I'm particularly interested in what the cost is based on current fuel costs. The spreadsheet they sent me shows that they assume an operating efficiency of 53%. In other words, to generate 1 MWh of electricity, 1.886 MWh of fuel needs to be input. Their original costings assumed gas prices of 64p/them in 2025, falling to 56p/therm…

from legal riots Laura Helmuth later denied her tirade and vitriol. Unfortunately, this suggests that too many scientists would rather offer elitist insults than address legitimate concerns and diverse ideas. Leslie Eastman I have been paying attention The Steady Decline of Scientific Americanboth in terms of its treatment of science and its practical support for policies that would benefit this country. My last few articles have shown that progressive ideology has all but taken over this once-respected publication. One of the main reasons for the accelerated descent into madness is that editor-in-chief Laura Helmuth allows pseudoscience and narrative to flow…
