Civil War Breaks Out in the Green Blob But Don’t Expect the BBC to Report it

The hatred arises because carbon capture is seen as legitimising the continued use of hydrocarbons. The less insane greens are finally realising that they cannot ban hydrocarbons altogether. This is due to the fact that half the world’s population would die without hydrocarbon-based medicine, fertiliser, waste disposal etc. But of course the true believers are right in that carbon capture is a colossal waste of money providing little more than a fig leaf to cover the continued use of oil and gas.Re Posted From: Civil War Breaks Out in the Gre . . .

Weekly Climate and Energy News Roundup #614

“Nobody’s honest. Scientists are not honest. And people usually believe that they are. That makes it worse. By honest I don’t mean that you only tell what’s true. But you make clear the entire situation. You make clear all the information that is required for somebody else who is intelligent to make up their mind. — Richard Feynman, “The Unscientific Age” in The Meaning of It All.Re Posted From: Weekly Climate and Energy News Roundup #614Watts Up With That . . .

Want to Win an Election? Run on Cheap Energy

If we want to get crazy, then Uncle Sam could take some of the big money he throws at wind and solar (which come up short) and invest in something with a better pay-off, like responsibly sourced natural gas, which is cheap, reliable, and reasonably clean. Or maybe put a few chips on nuclear, which is safer and cleaner than you might think. If Uncle Sam were really concerned about return on investment, he’d realign his portfolio. At least that wouldn’t be new spending — and it would bring down energy costs more quickly.Re Posted From: Want . . . [More]

Supreme Court Passes on Chance to Block Two Aggressive Biden-Harris Climate Regs

The court did not intervene to pause the EPA’s rules tightening limits for mercury in coal-fired power plant emissions and methane generated by oil and gas production, meaning that the rules are clear to take effect while the challengers’ litigation works its way through lower courts, according to Reuters. The organizations and states that filed the emergency appeals to the Supreme Court have argued that the agency overstepped its legal authority in issuing the regulations under the Clean Air Act and that EPA is depriving states of th . . .

Govt To Waste £22bn On Unproven Carbon Capture

What is certain though is that producing electricity using carbon capture is more expensive than not using carbon capture, not least because the process itself wastes a lot of energy. Similarly hydrogen produced from gas with carbon capture is much more expensive than just using the gas itself in the first place. All of this inefficiency will add to energy bills. It is hard to think of a more stupid waste of public money.Re Posted From: Govt To Waste £22bn On Unproven Carbon CaptureWatts Up With That . . . [More]

The Guardian Tries, and Fails, To Link Firefly Endangerment to Climate Change

The Guardian and the FWS would be better served telling the truth upfront instead of allowing it to be buried at the bottom of an article, which fewer readers will end up seeing.

The Fatal Flaw in Artificial Intelligence: Climate Change???

The climate change debate, when viewed through the lens of AI-generated information, reveals a much larger and more insidious threat—the erosion of freedom. If AI, which is increasingly relied upon to shape public opinion, policy, and discourse, can only produce answers that align with entrenched narratives, we risk creating a world where dissent is impossible. The suppression of climate change skepticism is not just a scientific issue; it’s a matter of freedom of speech, freedom of thought, and the ability to hold power to account.Re Poste . . . [More]
