Climate Change? What Climate Change?

  Business Daily ‘Handelsblatt’ Reports Germany Gripped By Electricity Price Shock…”Driven By CO2 Price” By P Gosselin on 29. June 2021 Share this... Germany’s flagship online business daily “ Handelsblatt” here reports on the country’s “electricity price shock” as the  cost of electricity “is climbing ever higher “. “Energy policymakers are sounding the alarm,” reports the Handelsblatt. In the late 1990s, German electricity prices were falling before the country passed the EEG green energy feed-in act in 2000. Since then, prices that German industry pays have almost tripled: Electricity prices for German industry on average have climbed nearly 200% since green energies were mandated.  Source: BDEW For private consumers, the prices are about double that paid by industry. So high electricity prices have risen, that now experts are warning of dire consequences. Driven by CO2 price “On the futures market of the EEX energy exchange, a megawatt hour (MWh) of elec

  Physicist: CO2 Retains Heat For Only 0.0001 Seconds, Warming ‘Not Possible’ Mainstream climate science claims CO2 molecules “slow down the rate of heat loss from the surface” as a blanket does. And yet the rate at which a CO2 molecule retains or slows down heat loss is, at most, a negligible 0.0001 of a second. A CO2 concentration of 300 ppm versus 400 ppm will, therefore, have no detectable impact. SkepticalScience , a blog spearheaded by climate science “consensus” advocate John Cook , is widely considered the explanatory guidebook for the anthropogenic global warming movement. The blog claims CO2 molecules, with a representation of four parts in 10,000 in the atmosphere (or 400 parts per million, or ppm), collectively function as a blanket does in slowing down the rate at which the human body cools. The rate or time-lapse involved in this “slowing” of heat loss is problematic to the paradigm that says CO2 drives global warming, however. Professor Nasif Nahle has math

Global Warming? Scott Base Antarctica Endures -115F Guest essay by Eric Worrall (see update below – Anthony) h/t JoNova ; Global warming appears to have brought near record cold to Scott Base in Antarctica, which a few days ago endured -81.7C / -115F, almost 4 degrees below the freezing point of Carbon Dioxide (-78C / -109F) . Scott Base crew enduring near-record breaking Antarctica winter – 10C colder than usual Spare a thought for the hardy crew who are wintering down in Antarctica, experiencing near-record breaking cold temperatures.  They’ve come very near to the coldest ever recorded temperature of -89.6C. While it may have been -16C when Newshub spoke with the Scott Base crew – that’s almost balmy conditions compared to the -81.7C recorded on the icy continent this week.  Antarctica New Zealand science tech Jamie McGaw says he “can’t even imagine that extreme cold”.  … NIWA Meteorologist Ben Noll says the polar vortex has “kept all of these cold temperatures

Electric Vehicles on Collision Course with Reality California’s energy policies are a mess. Ostensibly committed to cutting CO2 emissions, the state shuttered its main nuclear power plant. California has invested massively in wind and solar energy, but since these technologies produce electricity only a minority of the time, California keeps the lights on by importing electricity from other states–electricity that was generated using the reliable sources that California ostensibly eschews. Then we have electric vehicles. Currently, fewer than two percent of the vehicles on the road in the U.S. are electric. That percentage may be a little higher in California, but it is still miniscule. Nevertheless, California has enacted legislation that seeks to ban gasoline-powered vehicles beginning in 2035. Where the infrastructure will come from to support such a transition in the automobile fleet in the next 14 years is anyone’s guess. Meanwhile, California’s grid is so inadequat

  Dutch Court Gets Climate Science Wrong written by David Wojick June 16, 2021 David Wojick Contributor at Freedom Pub David Wojick, Ph.D., is a former consultant with the Office of Scientific and Technical Information at the U.S. Department of Energy in the area of information and communication science. A recent Dutch Court decision is getting international attention because it commands climate action. The case itself is like angels on a pinhead, so of little interest. Shell Oil proposed to cut CO2 emissions by 40% and the Court made it 45%, both targets being stupid. The real concern is the precedent of Courts making climate policy, so this decision is worth looking at. Turns out the Court’s version of the science is amazingly bad. The Court’s   decision document includes a long science section titled “ Climate change and its Consequences “. There are a s

'Proven right': Trump savors post-presidency vindication streak The 45th president is enjoying a run of belated validation on a series of controversial issues, including: the Covid lab-leak theory, Russian bounties, Lafayette Park police tactics, hydroxychloroquine, and his words to a Georgia election investigator. By Daniel Payne Updated: June 12, 2021 - 11:19am Article Dig In “I have been proven right (once again),” former President Donald Trump  declared this week in claiming vindication

My Top 10 media lies: Goodwin By Michael Goodwin June 12, 2021 | 10:10pm Donald Trump Patrick Semansky/AP Another one bites the dust. Another media lie, that is.  The latest lie to die is the false claim the feds cleared Lafayette Park of protesters last year so then-President Donald Trump could hold a photo op. The Interior Department’s inspector general says police planned to clear the park so a contractor could install a fence, a decision unrelated to Trump’s walk to a nearby historic church burned in a riot.  If the debunking feels familiar, it’s not your imagination. Only the details differ from earlier cases where the media mob got it all wrong. Sadly, the truth usually emerges not because of the press, but despite it.  Take growing acceptance of the idea the COVID-19 pandemic started with a leak from a virology lab in Wu

  The New Pause lengthens by another 2 months to 6 years 2 months By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley The effect of the small la Niña southern oscillation is waning. Nevertheless, the New Pause has lengthened from 6 years to 6 years 2 months in the UAH data: HadCRUT4, after a little prodding, has updated its monthly dataset with three months of new data, taking us up to March 2021. The New Pause in the HadCRUT4 data has lengthened to 7 years 1 month: How, then, have the real-world data behaved in comparison to the models’ predictions reported by IPCC (1990)? Here is IPCC’s prediction: Since IPCC’s prediction of 1.8 C° anthropogenic warming is compared with preindustrial temperature, one must deduct the HadCRUT4 0.54 C° warming from 1850 to April 1991. IPCC’s prediction, then, amounted to 1.26 C° by 2030.  UAH, however, shows only 0.46 C° in 30 years, equivalent to about 0.61 C° by 2030, of which 70%, or only 0.43 C°, is anthropogenic

  Don’t Get Discouraged About The Preposterous Plans To Eliminate Fossil Fuels It’s easy to get discouraged about the “climate” scare, otherwise known as the socialist takeover of everything under the cover story of a faux moral crusade to “save the planet.” Sometimes it seems that all you can hear are preening politicians and academics and journalists and “scientists” shouting about the immediate “existential crisis” that requires the prompt end of fossil fuels and that your energy use (but not theirs) must be severely restricted. Just today, UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a statement warning that the next ten years are our “final chance” to avert a “climate catastrophe”: We are rapidly reaching the point of no return for the planet. We face a triple environmental emergency — biodiversity loss, climate disruption, and escalating pollution. … Science tells us these next 10 years are our final chance to avert a climate catastrophe.… The few people pushing b
