Climate Change Brings Record Breaking Threat To Health–Lancet

Yes, it’s the same old pack of lies they roll out every year, trying to convince that global health is suffering because of climate change.

Wrong, Grist, Climate Change Isn’t Causing a Rise in Authoritarianism

Its not just the data that disagree with Grist’s hypothesis, anyone with a thinking mind knows that history does as well. To imply that today we are seeing more autocrats than previous centuries is laughable. According to Our World In Data, even most non-democracies are now electoral autocracies, and more than a third of democracies are liberal democracies.Re Posted From: Wrong, Grist, Climate Change Isn’t Causing a Rise in AuthoritarianismWatts Up With That . . .

Big Energy Policy Mistake: “All Of The Above”

It’s a little late for this election cycle, but I would highly suggest that it is time to ditch this nonsense. Renewables (and carbon capture, and hydrogen) either don’t work or are hugely too expensive or dangerous or all of those things. That’s the winning message.Re Posted From: Big Energy Policy Mistake: “All Of The Above”Watts Up With That . . . [More]

Big Green Projects Hoisted by their Own Petards

In a bit of irony, the very legal and regulatory obstacles the Greens erected and deployed against fossil fuel companies they were opposed to are now coming back full circle to explode in their faces, blocking and hindering their beloved solar and wind projects. Even more poetically just, it has often been the “little guys” environmentalists have insisted they care so deeply about who are the ones wielding the weapons.Re Posted From: Big Green Projects Hoisted by their Own PetardsWatts Up With That . . .

The Geological Record of Climate Change and Why Today’s Increase in Atmospheric CO2 Is the Result

Astronauts Aboard International Space Station Told to Prepare for Urgent Evacuation

NASA is now calling the cracks in a Russian service module a ‘top safety risk’ � escalating the threat rating to five out of five. Astronauts have been warned to stay in the American section when the module is open so they can be close to their spacecraft in case of an emergency evacuation.Re Posted From: Astronauts Aboard International Space Station Told to Prepare for Urgent EvacuationWatts Up With That . . .
