Bloomberg) — President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday he would seek to have a policy of having no wind farms constructed during his second term, threatening billions of dollars in planned wind projects.
“We are going to have a policy where no windmills are being built,” Trump said during a lengthy tirade against wind power during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
Trump, who has vowed a first day executive order targeting wind farms, has long made no secret his disdain for the energy source. But his remarks Tuesday represented the sharpest threat yet from the incoming president.

Acknowledged leading physicists, Drs. van Wijngaarden and Happer, have produced the evidence in a new paper. Since CO2 has only risen by 50% since 1750 (280 ppm to 420 ppm), CO2’s total greenhouse effect influence in reducing outgoing radiation has thus far been in the range of tenths of a percentage point. A less than 1% change in outgoing radiation over hundreds of years is not even detectable amid the noise of outgoing radiation measurement. Observation error in measuring Earth’s outgoing radiation is 33 W/m², for example.

Jon Keeley, a scientist working for the US Geological Survey, says “I don’t think these fires are the result of climate change. You certainly could get these events without climate change.”
Keeley has been studying the connection between various climaltic conditions and fires for the past forty years. He correctly pointed out that the conditions causing this type of fire have existed for thousands of years in this part of California.

But was the damage a result of poor government decisions?
That is not a headline that immediately grabs your attention, but it is actually true. It will probably disappoint those who like to strike fear of climate change into the mind of the public so that they readily accept the massive costs they are about to be burdened with to control the climate back to what it was in the good old days before we had central heating motor cars and aircraft. Of course this will not be reported in our mainstream media.

The UK Met Office must be getting worried that it is facing scrutiny that is long overdue. It is desperately trying to discredit the criticism of its weather stations and the data they produce. Unfortunately for them the cover-up is only making matters worse. They would be far better off admitting their mistakes and putting things right, but, just like the Post Office, that is the last thing they want to do. Read the latest report here:
A recent paper by Helge F. Goessling, et al., published by AAAS Science, looks at the possible cause of the recent global temperature surge and suggests it has been intensified by record-low planetary albedo”. The abstract states:
“In 2023, the global mean temperature soared to almost 1.5K above the pre-industrial level, surpassing the previous record by about 0.17K. Previous best-guess estimates of known drivers including anthropogenic warming and the El Niño onset fall short by about 0.2K in explaining the temperature rise. Utilizing satellite and reanalysis data, we identify a record-low planetary albedo as the primary factor bridging this gap. The decline is apparently caused largely by a reduced low-cloud cover in the northern mid-latitudes and tropics, in continuation of a multi-annual trend. Further exploring the low-cloud trend and understanding how much of it is due to internal variability, reduced aerosol concentrations, or a possibly emerging low-cloud feedback will be crucial for assessing the current and expected future warming.”
Previous papers have pointed out a warming of the oceans, particularly in the tropics. Since infrared radiation (from greenhouse gases such as CO2) cannot penetrate the ocean surfaces beyond a few millimeters (small fractions of an inch) increasing atmospheric CO2 cannot be an explanation of ocean warming over a few years, but increased sunlight at sea level can.

Just look at the latest figures for subsidising wind and biomass energy. A record high of £2.36 billion for last year. Meanwhile subsidies for wind power via the Renewable Obligation Scheme cost a further £4.6 billion in the year ended March 2024. In short, wind power is now being subsidised to the tune of about £7 billion a year, when constraint payments are included.

Here is a summary of an article written in a Report in 1974:
Annual average temperatures over the Northern Hemisphere increased rather dramatically from 1890 to 1940, but have been falling ever since. The total change (by1974) has averaged about 0.5 degrees Centigrade, with the greatest cooling in higher latitudes. Iceland's hay crop has dropped by 25% since the 1950's, while pack ice in waters around Iceland and Greenland ports is becoming the hazard to navigation it was in the 17th and 18th centuries.
From 1890 to 1940 man enjoyed the warmest climate the world had known for 5 or 6 centuries. Dr. Reid Bryson, Director of the University of Wisconsin's Institute for Environmental Studies, thinks that the relatively warm period from 1890 to 1940 was only a brief intermission in the Little Ice age, a perid of worldwide expansion of snow cover, mountain glacier growth, and Arctic pack ice which began in the 15th century and became pronounced by the 17th century. There were three major glacial advances in the Alps, Norway, Iceland and Alaska and elsewhere around 1650, 1750 and 1850 separated by slight withdrawals. Average annual temperatures in England and perhaps worldwide were 1 to 2 degrees Centigrade colder than they were before or since (as at 1974). In the USA average Midwestern temperatures in the 1850's were as much as 4 degrees C. colder than they are in 1974.

The Gorgon carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) system in Australia commenced operation in August 2019. Naturally occurring carbon dioxide (CO2) is taken from offshore gas reservoirs and injected into a giant sandstone formation two km under the ground. The project is operated by Chevron in joint venture with ExxonMobil and Shell. The Gorgon CCS project was expected to capture 80% of the CO2 emitted, or 4 million tonnes (MtCO2) a year. This report shows that it actually achieved just 1.6 MtCO2 in fiscal year 2024, which is only 30% of its target and the lowest performance since it started in 2019. The project is costing the joint venture almost $1 billion more in 2023 than it did in FY2019-20 to offset the difference and pay for technical problems. The requirement to buy carbon offsets for under performance and problems injection into the sandstone reservoir rose from $2.5 billion in FY2019-20 to $3.2 billion in 2023. Australian Carbon Credit Units are currently priced around $40 a tonne. “The key reason behind Gorgon’s under performance is issues with the reservoir pressure, which has to stay within a certain range. Chevron has implemented measures to remove water from the reservoir and reduce the reservoir pressure.

Not only will the government completely fail to meet their 2030 target on decarbonising the grid, they are also miles away from their heat pump installation target and the their electric vehicle target - which is probably just as well, as if they had met them they would not have nearly enough electricity to power them!
Dramatic evidence has been published in a number of recent science papers that carbon dioxide levels are already ‘saturated’, meaning little or no further warming is to be expected and rising CO2 levels are all beneficial.

We are constantly being told that some proportion of any weather event is being made worse by the extra CO2 in the atmosphere by those pushing the idea, but in reality this simply is not possible as this article shows.
There is dismay across Europe as the calm weather drastically reduces the output from wind farms. It is something that is so obvious and yet political leaders appear to have ignored it.
The accuracy of Met Office weather stations was not a big issue when these were just filed away, but today they assume much greater importance as they are used to provide evidence of how much warming has been achieved and also whether pensioners receive a cold weather payment. In view of this the poor state of the Met Office weather stations is a disgrace and it needs to be urgently improved.

Recent changes made by the Met Office to its climate average pages shows that the state-funded operation is fully aware of the growing interest in its entire temperature recording business. This interest has grown because the Met Office is fully committed to using its data to promote the Net Zero political fantasy. But it is silent on the biggest concern that has been raised of late, namely the promotion of temperatures, accurate to one hundredth of a degree centigrade, obtained from a nationwide network where nearly eight out of 10 stations are so poorly sited they have internationally-recognised ‘uncertainties’ as high as 5°C.

He emphasizes how their calculations have now been precisely verified by satellite measurements, thus validating their research. These results verify the actual low GWPs of these GHGs, and, in particular, of the irrelevancy of the impact of Methane on climate. The results have profound implications, particularly for agriculturally based economies like those of Ireland and New Zealand.

Can flights hit net zero by 2050 and at what cost to passengers? - BBC News
"I have tried and failed to get Mr Pocklington (the civil servant with a conflict of interests) to tell ministers the truth about the cost of Net Zero.Indeed, somewhat mysteriously, he seems determined to avoid the subject altogether. Many will conclude that the explanation lies in his conflict of interest. The rule in Westminster and Whitehall for Net Zero people appears to be that it is perfectly acceptable to have a conflict of interest, so long as it is declared, and if it isn’t, or if there are undeclared payments, a blind eye is turned anyway. It’s shocking."
Whitehall Permanent Secretary has “shocking” conflict of interest
Despite all the whitewash thrown at it, there is still the strong smell of a conspiracy between the tight-knit community of scientists who were at the heart of efforts to push their own narrative of man-made CO2 emissions controlling the world's surface temperature. Take a look down memory lane by reading this article which recalls those damning emails:
What percentage of UK Electricity is renewable by type?
Total 43.1% Wind alone 30.4% Biomass 6.6% Solar 4.7% Hydro 1.4%
Electricity is 20% of total energy, so these must be divided by 5 to get their percentage of total energy.
Total 8.62% Wind 6.08% Biomass 1.32% Solar 0.94% Hydro 0.28%
So it is clear from these figures that over 90% of the UK energy comes from fossil fuels or nuclear, despite all the massive drive to build wind and solar. The government has just declared that by 2035 we will have become 81% net zero. That looks like a very difficult task, but this government is unlikely to be in power when that date is reached. I wonder what odds a bookmaker would give on that?

Here is a piece taken from the BBC report on the latest climate meeting in Azerbaijan. What I find unbelievable is the complete faith implied in the quoted projection of temperature change by 2100. Why should anyone have such faith, when virtually all the predictions that have been made in the past have proved false, such as the summer ice-free Arctic, and the rise in world temperatures from computer programmes. Doubt is simply not allowed, despite the many failures. It seems much more like a religion than a scientific study.
Climate change: Where do we stand?
A recent UN report warned that current policies put the world on track for around 3C warming by the end of the century, with other organisations mirroring those figures.
This is well above the target set out in the Paris agreement - which about 200 countries signed in 2015 - which aimed to limit warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels.
The 1.5C target is still "technically possible", the UN says, but would need significant cuts to emissions in the next 10 years.
To reach net zero this is one idea that is being seriously considered. But is it an economic possibility? Or even feasible on a scale that would be needed? This article looks at it:
That is the future of electricity production. It would seem that, belatedly, our leaders have realised that renewables simply won't do the job of producing reliable electricity, according to this piece:
Regular readers may remember that I wrote about a group of residents who were challenging Colchester Council about their decision to declare a "climate emergency". They have attended council meetings and spoken eloquently, but felt they were not taken seriously. A lot has happened in the time since I last reported on them.

Event attribution research is a form of tactical science — research performed explicitly to serve legal and political ends. Key motives in conducting such studies is, “increasing the ‘immediacy’ of climate change, thereby increasing support for mitigation. Otto and others have been very forthright that the main function of such studies is to create a defensible scientific basis in support of lawsuits against fossil fuel companies — She explains the strategy in detail in this interview, From Extreme Event Attribution to Climate Litigation.
In other words it is a type of propaganda.
The Hague Court of Appeal was not impressed by FoE’s “go green or go extinct” rhetoric and rejected its case that Shell must reduce its emissions by 45% by 2030. Nevertheless, the Court of Appeal’s ruling leaves much to be desired and did not eliminate the threat of activist NGOs launching climate cases to effect “system change” in the future.

Lord Frost,who was our chief negotiator for Brexit under Boris Johnson's government, has proved to be a formidable speaker in favour of honesty on the cost of renewables. You can see his 14 minute speech in the link below where he makes a powerful case for a thorough debate to establish the truth about renewable energy costs, taking into account the cost of back up for when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining.
Although we are often told from surveys that the majority of people believe that increased CO2 is causing a 'climate emergency', their willingness to pay to do something about it is a totally different thing. Of course if someone else is paying the bill they are quite willing to let them.
What is happening at the latest climate conference (COP29) is that a lot of poor countries are demanding payments of large sums of money from the wealthier countries to help them to cope with the so-called emergency. The sums being asked for are so big that they have no hope of reaching them, but, no doubt this is simply to get a lesser sum, which they hope we will think is a 'good deal' in comparison. Here is a good video exposing the unfolding disaster
These climate conferences are simply ignored by most of the UK population as seeming to be quite irrelevant to us - but they should not be, as they have dramatic consequences for our finances, as we will soon find out if Starmer and Miliband get their way. This piece from Jo Nova gives an insight into the insane demands of so-called developing nations on us. Read it and wonder!
Power restrictions get a bit nearer as the wind drops across Europe. Luckily we still have some fossil fuel generation at present.

Now they have been told that they must reach a level C or above, but as you can see from the link below it is a bit of a lottery to achieve this. I expect a number of landlords will be quitting the business. Things will get a lot worse in the mad pursuit of net zero!

In 2017 President Trump announced the US would pull out of the Paris climate agreement, the most important UN process to tackle climate change. The agreement saw almost all the world's nations - for the first time - agree to cut the greenhouse gas emissions which cause global warming.
But the shock of Trump's decision was limited. The treaty's rules meant the US was not able to withdraw until November 2020, a few months before he left office.
If Trump withdraws again, he will only have to wait a year before the US is completely out. That would give him three years to chart his own course without any need to report to the UN or be bound by its rules.
While President Joe Biden's negotiators will be at next week's COP talks in Azerbaijan, nothing they agree to will be binding for the Trump administration.
So, if Trump cuts off funding and simply ignores the UN it will be interesting to see what happens.
This story has not been given much publicity at all here in the UK, which is odd since normally such a thing would be headline news. It is yet another example of the way in which the media appear to not want to draw the public's attention to anything which runs contrary to the ideology of climate change.
