Guest post by Willis Eschenbach (@WEschenbach on eX-Twitter) Perspective is everything. The world's largest carbon dioxide capture plant has just come into operation in Iceland, built by a company called Climeworks. You can read about it on their website. Here is a description: “According to Climeworks estimates, Mammoth has the ability to capture an impressive 36,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year. To put that in perspective, that’s the equivalent of neutralizing the emissions of approximately 7,800 gasoline-powered cars. Sounds impressive, right? Is that equivalent to taking 7,800 cars off the road? Wow! However, back to the point of view,…
Rural and coastal little guys delay and block massive 'green' energy projects Paul Driessen Environmentalists insist they like “the little guys”. At least in the abstract, until these people get in the way, ask inconvenient questions, or try to block “renewable energy” projects aimed at “saving the planet” from “man-made climate catastrophe.” Then the little guys will learn that environmentalists are actually working with (and serving) Big Wind, Big Solar, Big Utilities, Big Finance, powerful politicians, and crony bureaucrats—the climate industrial complex. If it is blocked, farm families, small rural communities and even Native American groups could face long and…
An undated article from Earth.com claims that “the foundations of life are threatened by climate change.” This is false. [emphasis, links added] Real-world data shows that the Earth is increasing its biomass in response to the last century of mild warming and increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide. The article itself is little more than a jumble of statements, none of which, individually or combined, supports the claim that climate change is threatening life on Earth, as the title suggests. The first paragraph contains only a vague statement: Photosynthesis is the basis of life on Earth, but climate change increasingly threatens…
Article by Eric Worrell Still waiting for the promised climate catastrophe. Australia has become 1.5 degrees hotter go through Bianca HallOctober 31, 2024 – 12 am Australia's average temperature has risen by 1.5 degrees for the first time since records began, putting the world on track to exceed the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. It's the latest sobering assessment from scientists and meteorologists from CSIRO and the Bureau of Meteorology, who have been mapping Australia's climate change for 14 years. Their latest biennial State of the Climate report, released on Thursday, shows average temperatures continue…
Drilling for our vast domestic oil and gas resources is clearly in America's economic interest, but it's also a great way to achieve world peace and promote our national security. [emphasis, links added] This is a point we've been making for years, but this chart from our friend and prominent investor David Bahnsen hammers it home again. When we drill less, our enemies drill more and get rich off our stupid, unworkable green energy policies.

In many parts of Latin America, when night falls, vampire bats emerge. Vampire bats are known for sucking the blood of living animals. As the climate warms, they are spreading further north. Virginia Tech wildlife biologist Luis Escobar said they could soon arrive in the United States Escobar: “We anticipate that this species will arrive in the United States and that we will notice its presence within the next five to 20 years.” This is concerning because vampire bats are carriers of rabies, a fatal disease. Escobar: “When they bite their prey, they transmit the virus to their prey.” Therefore,…
Christine Walker We are constantly told that climate change is becoming more severe and that natural disasters are becoming more frequent and severe. Neither is true. Tropical hurricanes have struck the Southeast over centuries, with varying degrees of severity. Category 4 and 5 storms are considered the most severe, and this is nothing new. A lot happened before the world's so-called addiction to fossil fuels. The Labor Day Storm hit the Florida coast in 1935 and is considered one of the most powerful and destructive hurricanes in Florida. One question. This is something it will continue to deal with. Records…
