The Climate Case of the Century

All in all, the ruling of the Hague Court of Appeal is an important first step towards restoring rationality and balance in judicial decision-making in climate cases.  The rejection of the case against Shell will have ripple effects on many other climate cases throughout the world, and should cause the EU to rethink the obligation for companies to implement a climate transition plan consistent with 1.5C.Re Posted From: The Climate Case of the CenturyWatts Up With That . . .

Ideas For An Incoming Trump Administration: Climate And Energy Edition

There is no reason why all of this claptrap, and hundreds or thousands of other examples of same, cannot just be wiped away on January 20.

Debate This Evening, 7 pm ET with Steve Koonin: Is Decarbonization Worth the Cost?

This debate is more than an academic exercise. It is an opportunity to scrutinize policies that have far-reaching implications for economic stability, technological progress, and global economies. Decarbonization might be an article of faith for many, but faith is no substitute for rigorous analysis.Re Posted From: Debate This Evening, 7 pm ET with Steve Koonin: Is Decarbonization Worth the Cost?Watts Up With That . . .

To President-Elect Trump: Recommendations for NOAA and the National Weather Service

There’s a real opportunity here to improve weather forecasts and storm warnings. Not only do storm warnings save lives, studies have conclusively demonstrated that better forecasts have tremendous economic value. The money invested in the “new” Weather Bureau will pay off dozens of times over. Re Posted From: To President-Elect Trump: Recommendations for NOAA and the National Weather ServiceWatts Up With That . . .
