No Laughing Matter as Net Zero Nutters Target Your Anaesthetics and Painkillers

Concerns about anaesthetic gases are of course just another one of the never-ending scares designed to enforce the Net Zero fantasy. Removing all hydrocarbons from an industrial society means reducing living conditions to a brutal primitivism. Try the removal of many medicines, try also little food or heat.

Heartland Institute in the UK/EU: Guilty as Charged! (DeSmog backfire)

Heartland’s project to export intellectual advocacy is still in early days, but its immediate success in the UK/EU reflects a ready opportunity to dial back climate exaggeration and reject forced energy transformation. The elitist Climate Industrial Complex is out of excuses for wasting resources in a false cause. Call it “social justice,” a movement that DeSmog continues to promote (unintendedly) through its truth bombs.Re Posted From: Heartland Institute in the UK/EU: Guilty as Charged!

Climate Whiplash and California Wildfires

My main discomfort with Swain et al. (2025) and its rollout is that it appears that the primary goal was to create and disseminate the “climate whiplash” meme rather than conduct a truly rigorous evaluation of the evidence, including countervailing evidence. Ultimately, this makes the research a much larger advance in marketing than an advance in science.Re Posted From: Climate Whiplash and California WildfiresWatts Up With That . . . [More]

How the Green Energy Narrative confuses things

The green energy narrative works somewhat like a magician’s patter, overemphasizing many things of irrelevance and distracting the audience from the important things going on. Misdirection ensures small truths are misinterpreted and magnified, leading to completely unrealistic hopes and expectations.Re Posted From: How the Green Energy Narrative confuses thingsWatts Up With That . . .

Fake News, CNN and UN, Climate Change Is Not Disrupting Latin America’s Food Production

A recent CNN story claims that climate change has caused recent disruptions in food production across the Caribbean and South America. This is false. Although in Latin America as elsewhere farm production varies from year to year and weather in 2023 did bring hardship to some farmers in some countries, since 1990 overall crop production in the region has regularly set records. Despite being a period during which the Earth warmed modestly, improving supplies of major crops resulted in a decline in hunger. With no sustained decrease in production . . . [More]

Ivanpah Solar Plant: The Flaming Failure That’s Finally Being Put Out of Our Misery

It’s finally happening. The Ivanpah Solar Power Plant, the behemoth of bureaucratic blundering and incinerated wildlife, is circling the drain. Once celebrated as a game-changer for renewable energy, it’s now being quietly escorted off the stage with a nothing to see here, folks attitude. After just 11 years of struggling to justify its own existence, Ivanpah is headed for closure.
