Carbon Capture: Tech Giants Throw Money at the Latest Green Trend

As tech giants race to outdo each other in the climate virtue-signaling game, the public would do well to remember that these projects often serve corporate interests far more effectively than they serve the planet. Instead of looking for real solutions—or asking whether solutions are even necessary—this is just another example of companies chasing headlines and staying on-trend.Re Posted From: Carbon Capture: Tech Giants Throw Money at the Latest Green TrendWatts Up With That . . .

Science Shock: CO2 is Good for the Planet, Peer-Reviewed Studies Suggest

Half of human emissions are being quickly pushed back into the biosphere, the scientists say, causing substantial, famine-busting plant growth, while the rest is entering a ‘saturated’ atmosphere and having a minimal effect on global temperatures. One of the papers accepting the human involvement in rising CO2 is published by the CO2 Coalition, which notes: “We like CO2, so should you.”Re Posted From: Science Shock: CO2 is Good for the Planet, Peer-Reviewed Studies SuggestWatts Up With That . . .

Nuclear Waste could be the game-changer to Unlimited Electricity

Today, nuclear waste is the key to Unlimited Electricity, as that “so-called nuclear waste”, the slightly used nuclear fuel (SUNF), still has 97% of its electricity potential yet to be realized.Re Posted From: Nuclear Waste could be the game-changer to Unlimited ElectricityWatts Up With That . . .

Feminism Can’t Fix Climate Change (But Nothing Else Can Either)

What happens when ideology hijacks science? You get articles like Scientific American’s recent gem, “How Feminism Can Guide Climate Change Action.” Spoiler: it’s yet another attempt to inject a political narrative into a domain that’s already drowning in bad policy, shaky science, and unworkable solutions. Feminism is the latest player in the climate theater, but the real show here isn’t how feminism can save the planet—it’s how the planet doesn’t need saving at all.

As Germany’s Energy Crisis Heightens, Two Brief Windless Periods Pushes Grid To The Limit!

It is also often forgotten that wind turbines consume electricity when they are stationary or switched off. This is because all technical components (oil pumps, fans, control systems, etc.) must remain in operation even when they are still. Vestas specifies an electricity consumption of 55,000 kWh per year for a 4.2 MW turbine at standstill. During production times, the turbine supplies itself with electricity. But it is virtually idle 120 days a year.Re Posted From: As Germany’s Energy Crisis Heightens, Two Brief Windless Periods Pushes Gri . . . [More]

Frankenstein Datasets and the Crisis in Climate Science Integrity

The Frankenstein dataset is a stark reminder of the dangers of uncritical acceptance in science. While the temptation to fit data to a convenient narrative is strong, true scientific progress requires resisting that impulse. As Pielke’s critique demonstrates, only by confronting and correcting errors can science fulfill its promise as a self-correcting endeavor. Let this be a wake-up call for climate science: integrity must come before ideology.Re Posted From: Frankenstein Datasets and the Crisis in Climate Science IntegrityWatts Up With That . . . [More]
