Texas power freeze-down demonstrates political climate craziness

  Texas power freeze-down demonstrates political climate craziness By Larry Bell | February 21st, 2021 | Climate | 42 Comments Texas just sent a very chilling message to the rest of the nation about what to expect your life to be like with President Biden’s “Build Back Better” plan AKA, “Green New Deal,” in order to save the planet from overheating. It seems he’s already overachieving that goal. An unusual Arctic blast that spread across the state from the tip of the Panhandle all the way to the Rio Grande Valley has left millions of homes and businesses here without electricity. A series of forced rolling blackouts were required to prevent power grid collapse as single-digit temperatures froze wind turbines and hobbled dozens of power plant operations. How could this possibly happen here in Texas? This isn’t supposed to be California, after all, where over-dependence on wind and solar power destabi...

Sea level distortions

  Sea level distortions By Dr. Jay Lehr , Terigi Ciccone | February 1st, 2021 | Climate | 361 Comments Global warming campaigners continue to sound the sea level alarm. Politicians, actors, and “ climate activists” warn us regularly that meltwater from massive ice sheets in the Antarctic and the Arctic will soon drown our coastal towns and cities, and the process will become “ irreversible. ” Graphic photoshopped pictures of New York skyscrapers show water reaching many upper floors. Miami is shown vanishing under the sea. All this, as a result of increased CO2, warming the Earth, and melting the ice. All this in order to gain support for their plan to stop burning fossil fuels and ultimately enslave society with wind and solar energy, requiring rationing energy to all. The fundamental data and facts support none of this hysteria. Looking at Figure 1, [i] we notice in the last 140 years,...

Where is global warming’s missing heat coming from? Part-1

  Where is global warming’s missing heat coming from? Part-1 By Dr. Jay Lehr , Terigi Ciccone | February 22nd, 2021 For decades, the UN/IPCC, NASA/NOAA, and their academic sharecroppers have been terrorizing the uninformed public about how human-caused CO2 increase leads the world to catastrophic global warming and rising sea levels. All the while, they were grossly underestimating the impacts on climate change caused by volcanic and tectonic activities. In this Part-1 of a three-part series, we will present the latest findings and data that shows how the Earth’s internal nuclear furnace may play a very significant role in the Earth’s climate change. In subsequent Parts 2 will reconcile all of the significant causes of climate change. In Part 3, we put all the climate change pieces together and provide our climate change forecast for the next 50 years. Figure -1 below shows the temperat...

Climate change obsession is a cult

  Climate change obsession is a cult By Drew Allen For 51 years, climate scientists have warned us of the grave and existential threat of man-made climate change.  In 1970, the Boston Globe published a news  article  with the headline "Scientist predicts a new ice age by 21st century."  Five years later, in 1975, the threat was moved to red alert when the editor of New Scientists  declared  that "the threat of a new ice age must now stand alongside nuclear war as a likely source of wholesale death and misery for mankind."  Avid skiers and winter apparel brands were giddy with excitement — until they received some devastating news. While the predicted ice age never came, and the climate coolers were forced to admit they had been wrong, they assure...

Scientists unearth a consequence of solar panels in the Sahara

Scientists unearth a consequence of solar panels in the Sahara A giant solar farm sounds perfect, right? Not quite. Wadstock/Shutterstock Zhengyao Lu and Benjamin Smith 2.21.2021 3:00 AM The world’s most forbidding deserts could be the best places on Earth for harvesting solar power — the most abundant and clean source of energy we have. Deserts are spacious, relatively flat, rich in silicon – the raw material for the semiconductors from which solar cells are made — and never short of sunlight. In fact, the ten largest solar plants around the world are all located in deserts or dry regions. By Christian Yates and Ed Feil Researchers imagine it might be possible to transform the world’s largest desert, the Sahara, into a giant solar farm, capable of meeting four times the world’s current energy demand. Blueprints have been drawn up for projects in Tunisia and Morocco that would supply electricity for millions of households in Europe. While the black surfaces of solar panels ...
  Perhaps some clarification for us all...   Emergency Order 202-21-1. Here is a good synopsis that someone wrote. Very sadly, people have died as a result! The Dept. of Energy Blocked Texas from Increasing Power Ahead of Storm. A week before, Texas begged for help and asked for DOE to lift federal regulations barring state's energy. An Emergency Order from the Biden administration’s Department of Energy shows Texas energy grid operator ERCOT was instructed to stay within green energy standards by purchasing energy from outside the state at a higher cost, throttling power output throughout the state ahead of a catastrophic polar vortex. Going into effect Sunday, Feb. 14, Emergency Order 202-21-1 shows the Energy Dept. was aware of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s statewide disaster declaration and that ERCOT was readying gas utilities in preparation for a demand surge. The order shows Acting Energy Secretary David Huizenga did not waive environmental restrictions to allow for maximum ...

Texas’s Blackouts Are The Result Of Unreliable ‘Green’ Energy

  Texas’s Blackouts Are The Result Of Unreliable ‘Green’ Energy The blackouts, which have left as many as 4 million Texans trapped in the cold, show the numerous chilling consequences of putting too many eggs in the renewable basket. By Jason Isaac February 18, 2021 As Texans reel from ongoing blackouts at the worst possible time, during a nationwide cold snap that has sent temperatures plummeting to single digits, the news has left people in other states wondering: How could this happen in Texas, the nation’s energy powerhouse? But policy experts have seen this moment coming for years. The only surprise is that the house of cards collapsed in the dead of winter, not the toasty Texas summers that usually shatter peak electricity demand records. The blackouts, which have left as many as 4 million Texans trapped in the cold, show the numerous chilling consequences of putting too many eggs in the renewable basket. Fossil Fuels Aren’t to Blame There are m...
