Modern Scientific Controversies: The War on Food: Part 1

The nutrition and food news today, including radio, TV, blogs, is full of stories decrying the consumption of Ultra-Processed Foods � UPFs. Normally I would give a series of links to the latest headlines but I doubt anyone could have missed them � they have been ubiquitous.  Re Posted From: Modern Scientific Controversies: The War on Food: Part 1Watts Up With That . . .

‘I get a kick out of Nigel Farage’: Jordan Peterson on Reform and why net zero is unconservative

Jordan Peterson speaks to Spectator editor Michael Gove about the ‘idiot blandishments of net zero’. He describes how setting a target at ‘zero’ dooms you to the futile pursuit of perfection, why Nigel Farage could be the answer to the preoccupation with ‘the climate apocalypse’, and whether Kemi Badenoch might put right some of the Tories’ less ‘conservative’ policies.Re Posted From: ‘I get a kick out of Nigel Farage’: Jordan Peterson on Reform and why net zero is unconservativeWatts Up With That . . .

Mexico’s Emissions Con Trick

Mexico is another country which continues to increase emissions. Even their Paris NDC was explicit about this, as it pledged only to cut emissions from a theoretical Business as Usual scenario. The resulting targeted emissions in 2030 would be higher than they were in 2015!Re Posted From: Mexico’s Emissions Con TrickWatts Up With That . . . [More]

New York Response to Part 490 Sea-Level Rise Amendment Comments

Surprising no one, their Assessment of Public Comments blew off our concerns.  There is no reasonable defense for using RCP-8.5.  As long as New York State continues to claim they follow the science but ignore it when it is inconvenient, the more likely the rush to the bottom will become a death spiral. Re Posted From: New York Response to Part 490 Sea-Level Rise Amendment CommentsWatts Up With That . . .

Coal Will Power Kazakhstan into a Nuclear Future

Kazakhstan’s reliance on coal is deeply entrenched, and for good reason. The country possesses some of the largest coal reserves in the world � an estimated 25 billion tons. Coal-fired power plants account for nearly 70% of Kazakhstan’s electricity generation, a figure that underscores its pivotal role in the nation’s energy matrix.Re Posted From: Coal Will Power Kazakhstan into a Nuclear FutureWatts Up With That . . .

New Year’s Resolution to Embrace CO2 Emissions and Benefits

Scientific advancement and agricultural technology have revolutionized food production, enabling humanity to feed more readily a ballooning population.
