Automakers may rue choosing bureaucrats over customers

It remains to be seen just how the incoming Trump Administration will impact the BEV marketplace. Trump keeps saying that BEVs have a role while disparaging automakers now venturing into hydrogen-based fueling systems. But if, as expected, the subsidies go away, will the BEV revolution merely be slowed or brought to a screeching halt?Re Posted From: Automakers may rue choosing bureaucrats over customersWatts Up With That . . .

How the Rush to Net Zero is Accelerating Britain’s Industrial Decline

Exactly where we are headed is therefore not clear. It’s also a moot point whether any government can survive enforcing a vision of the future with policies that seem destined to make people poorer, more immobile, colder, hungrier, and with less and less choice in the matter.Re Posted From: How the Rush to Net Zero is Accelerating Britain’s Industrial DeclineWatts Up With That . . .

Recent Paper Shows Little Ice Age, Climate Driven By A Number Of Natural Driving Factors

We must always bear in mind that several factors came together in the middle of the 19th century. One of the coldest periods in the last 8,000 years was followed by a climatic counter-movement. In addition, the industrialization of the world and the massive use of coal began. Land masses were reshaped on a large scale, such as during the colonization of North America.Re Posted From: Recent Paper Shows Little Ice Age, Climate Driven By A Number Of Natural Driving FactorsWatts Up With That . . .

Global Warming is Not Making Record Typhoons, South China Morning Post

Although compared to some of the media reports we respond to at Climate Realism the SCMP article was relatively balanced, linking one year’s above-average sea surface temperatures and super cyclone numbers in a single region with climate change is unjustified. A variety of factors influence sea surface temperatures and typhoon formation and strength, none of which are trending upward during the recent period of modest warming.Re Posted From: Global Warming is Not Making Record Typhoons, South China Morning PostWatts Up With That . . .
