The Country Where Taxpayers Are Charged Billions When the Sun Shines

Climatism in Germany is attended by all manner of naïve ideas and bright pink fairytale slogans. Among the latter is a dubious proverb proclaiming that “The sun doesn’t send any bills” (in German: “Die Sonne schickt keine Rechnung”). Such proverbs always seem initially plausible (is there anything freer and more democratic than sunshine?) while proving to be basically the opposite of the truth. In fact, the energy transition has landed German taxpayers in the position of paying billions of Euros for the sun to shine. It is becoming a . . . [More]

Clueless ‘Fact Check’ of Daily Sceptic Climate Article Descends into Pure Gibberish

If there was an award for worst fact check of the year, the recent attempt by the French state-owned Agence France-Presse (AFP) to smear the Daily Sceptic would be the clear favourite to win. Taking issue with our report of a recent paper published by Nature that found no “surge” in global temperatures since 1970, the AFP author Manon Jacob branded the article “misleading” purely on the basis of a random selection of what other commentators had written on social media. The so-called fact check is so bad it could well be used i . . . [More]

EPA Proposes Yet Another Impossible Standard

BOEM Finally Acknowledges the Harm Caused by Offshore Wind Farms

In a surprising yet overdue move, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has released its Final Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) for the New York Bight. This document, despite its extensive layers of technical jargon and cautious language, marks a pivotal shift. It appears to be a rare admission from BOEM that offshore wind farms are indeed capable of causing harm—biologically, socioeconomically, physically, and culturally.Re Posted From: BOEM Finally Acknowledges the Harm Caused by Offshore Wind FarmsWatts Up With Tha . . .

Suddenly Energy Realism Is a Winning Political Issue

You may not have noticed, but in the current election, push-back against insane energy transition policies has suddenly become a winning political issue. For the first time, Republicans are explicitly using the now patent consequences of the energy transition as a key strategy to win close races, including the presidency.Re Posted From: Suddenly Energy Realism Is a Winning Political IssueWatts Up With That . . .

Gulf Stream Collapsing Again!

So we only have data since 2004, and the year to year variations are large. To pretend that such a short series is in any way significant is not only unscientific but fraudulent.Re Posted From: Gulf Stream Collapsing Again!Watts Up With That . . . [More]

Live at 1 pm Eastern, 10 am Pacific: Rhetoric and Reality – The Politics of Climate Change

The whole world seems to be nervously awaiting the outcome of the presidential election, which is just 10 days away — perhaps no group more than the global climate cabal. Climate and energy policy is a topic barely mentioned on the campaign trail, and in the debates. But voters are going to decide in November whether America keeps spending billions to be a “leader” in global climate action schemes or pull out of the scam altogether … and maybe for good.Re Posted From: Live at 1 pm Eastern, 10 am Pacific: Rhetoric and Reality � The Pol . . .
