Driving a Stake Through Stakeholder Capitalism

E, S, G does not cover core financial risks. We’re looking to assess financially-relevant environmental, social and governance factors, not financially-relevant financial factors.” Got that? Yup.

‘Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past’

One argument against the climate alarmism is the failed predictive record of the scientist-activists themselves. One salient example can be found in The Independent (March 20, 2000), “Snowfalls are now Just a Thing of the Past. The prediction belonged to David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia (yes, of Climategate infamy).Re Posted From: ‘Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past’Watts Up With That . . .

Wrong, PBS, Real-World Data Doesn’t Show That a Climate Crisis Is Happening

PBS follows a familiar script: cherry-pick extreme weather events, misrepresent ocean chemistry, and ignore the overwhelming benefits of CO₂, all to justify heavy-handed government intervention. PBS and AP may prefer their narrative of climate doom, but the data and facts tell a different story. The reality is that climate trends are far more nuanced than Borenstein, the AP, and PBS admit. Data suggest that CO₂ is not an existential threat but rather a net benefit for agriculture and ecosystems. Rather than stoking fear, we should be focusi . . . [More]

Michael E. Mann Responds

As if we needed more proof that the system is rigged in favor of the corporate elite, the court then turned around and ORDERED ME TO PAY OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN LEGAL FEES TO NATIONAL REVIEW!!! Yes, you heard that right—after fighting for truth for over a decade, after being smeared, defamed, and dragged through the legal system, I am the one being punished.Re Posted From: Michael E.

False Pretense of Energy Transition: Long on Facts, Short on Truth

What that really means is that wind, solar, green hydrogen and so on are utterly useless for supplying large populations with reliable, affordable energy and that physics and chemistry offer no credible evidence of their ability to ever fill that role. Wind and solar, for example, require many times the land and material to produce the same amount of electricity as do coal and nuclear plants. Which is why green energy is failing even with massive subsidies.Re Posted From: False Pretense of Energy Transition: Long on Facts, Short on TruthWatts U . . . [More]

Net Zero to Blame for UK’s Productivity Crisis and Making Families Poorer, Say Economists

The reality of decarbonisation � that as long as the policy runs faster than technology allows, and other countries do not follow our lead � is that it means deindustrialisation, with all the consequences that follow. The country is less resilient to shocks, supply chains are stretched and we are exposed to instability in other parts of the world.Re Posted From: Net Zero to Blame for UK’s Productivity Crisis and Making Families Poorer, Say EconomistsWatts Up With That . . .
