Tampering with Milk: The Backlash Against Bovaer and the Hubris of Climate Zealots

The next time globalists and bureaucrats come calling with their latest scheme to “save the planet,” we would do well to remember the lesson of Bovaer: the problem they claim to solve might not even exist, but the damage their solutions can cause is all too real.Re Posted From: Tampering with Milk: The Backlash Against Bovaer and the Hubris of Climate ZealotsWatts Up With That . . .

NOAA’s Future and Project 2025

Although Project 2025 has hits and misses regarding NOAA,  NOAA acutely needs reform.   Major reform.   Reform that will enable it to serve its mission better.   Reform that will make it more effective and reduce bureaucratic bloat.  Reform that may well save money. I say this as someone who has worked with NOAA for decades.  I have written several papers on NOAA's organizational problems, served on national advisory committees, and testified in Congress on these issues.Re Posted From: NOAA’s Future and Project 2025Watts Up With T . . .

Weekly Climate and Energy News Roundup #623

IPCC U-Turn as it Prepares to Start Blaming Humans for Bad Weather

Roger Pielke is particularly unimpressed with what he calls “weather attribution alchemy”. In his view, attribution science is a form of “tactical science”. Such science serves legal and political ends, and the work is “generally promoted via press release”. The IPCC itself has noted that the usefulness and applicability of available extreme weather attribution methods remain “subject to debate”. Unless scientists find a way to turn pseudoscientific opinion into scientific fact, it can only be hoped that the IPCC’s current s . . . [More]

Permitting Reform: A Strategic Imperative for U.S. National Security and Global Competitiveness

For the incoming administration, prioritizing permitting reform for both transmission and domestic critical mineral development is essential for safeguarding America's future. Energy infrastructure reform transcends reducing bureaucratic delays; it is an essential component in reinforcing national security, enhancing economic resilience, and maintaining global leadership. In an era characterized by Great Power Competition, ensuring a secure and resilient grid is fundamental to preserving the U.S.’ status as a global leader.Re Posted From: Per . . . [More]

Newsweek Claims U.S. Cities Would be Underwater by 2050, Forgets the Same Predictions Were Made for

Responsible journalism requires more than repackaging doomsday scenarios; it demands rigorous fact-checking and a willingness to present a balanced view of the evidence. By failing to meet these standards, Newsweek not only erodes public trust but also diminishes the legitimacy of meaningful environmental discussions. Readers deserve better than recycled, unfounded predictions—they deserve facts. Until outlets like Newsweek prioritize accuracy over hype, they will remain complicit in the spread of misinformation masquerading as science.Re . . . [More]

“THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOOD FOR ENRON STOCK!!” (Enron’s Kyoto memo turns 27)

The Washington Post broke the memo soon after Enron’s demise, showing how Enron was hardly a free-market, capitalistic company in  “[Enron] chairman Pushed Firm’s Agenda With Clinton White House.” Indeed, Enron was “the company most responsible for sparking off the greenhouse civil war in the hydrocarbon business,” as told by Jeremy Leggett in The Carbon War (Penguin: 1999), p. 204.Re Posted From: “THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOOD FOR ENRON STOCK!!” (Enron’s Kyoto memo turns 27)Watts Up With That . . .

Germany Gets Dunkelf**ked Again, Norway to Dismantle Power Cables To Europe

The latest wind drought provides more evidence of the foolishness of Germany’s Energiewende, an insanely expensive effort designed to force the country off of hydrocarbons and onto alt-energy. In September, a study published in the International Journal of Sustainable Energy estimated that between 2002 and 2022, the Energiewende cost Germany $746 billion. Of that sum, more than half was spent on alt-energy production and distribution. The remainder was spent on subsidies. If Germany had spent about half that sum on nuclear energy, it wo . . . [More]

El Salvador Now Looking to Mine $3 Trillion in Gold and Other Critical Minerals

According to preliminary studies cited by the president, El Salvador’s gold reserves could be worth an astounding three trillion dollars � representing over 8,800% of the country’s current GDP. Bukele argues that mining just 4% of the country’s gold deposits could generate $131 billion, which would be equivalent to 380% of the current GDP.Re Posted From: El Salvador Now Looking to Mine $3 Trillion in Gold and Other Critical MineralsWatts Up With That . . .
