CLIMATE PROPAGANDA PUSHED AT CHILDREN TO BE STEPPED UP

This article explains how fictional novels aimed at children are using climate alarm themes in the hope of influencing young minds. In a 1984-style scenario that George Orwell might have dreamt up they are plumbing new depths in their propaganda campaign.

TURKEY TO DOUBLE COAL POWER BY 2020

Here are the details. Here again we see a nation quite openly planning to ignore the pleas to lower emissions in favour of producing cheaper energy to power its economy.  They are not the only nation to take this course. See here for India,  here for South Africa, Here for Japan, not to mention China.
 See here for all the nations who prefer to use cheap power rather than lower CO2 emissions.

UN CLIMATE GRAVY TRAIN PREPARES FOR MASSIVE FUNDING FROM DEVELOPED NATIONS

This report of the draft text for the climate agreement to be agreed in Paris in December should act as a warning to all taxpayers - you are about to be ripped-off! Here is a flavour of what's being proposed:

The document states, “a. Developed country Parties to provide 1 per cent of gross domestic product per year from 2020 and additional funds during the pre-2020 period to the GCF [Green Climate Fund]…”

CAMERON APPOINTS CLIMATE ACTIVIST TO KEY JOB

Here are the sad details. His action clearly shows that he is in thrall to the global warming scam and so he is not likely to look at any evidence that in any way contradicts it

UK COAL POWER PLANTS CLOSING AHEAD OF SCHEDULE AS BLACKOUTS LOOM

This piece explains what's happening here in the UK since the Conservatives won the recent general election. Our coal-fired power stations are becoming uneconomic and so the power companies are having to close them. Unless the government do something to stop this we could soon be facing power cuts and a very unpopular government.

DESPARATELY SEEKING THE HOTSPOT

This piece looks at the search for the holy grail of global warming and again fails to find it. It is the missing signature that would demonstrate that CO2 could be causing a warming of the atmosphere. Its absence suggests that the modest  warming that has happened during the twentieth century is likely to be due mainly to natural causes.

WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH CARBON CAPTURE AND STORAGE?

Here's a good account of what's happening so far. What a shame that so much effort is being put in to a scheme that is not necessary and will lead to a waste of precious fossil fuel energy and inevitably lead to an increase in the cost of energy.

INVESTORS BELIEVE FOSSIL FUELS ARE HERE TO STAY

That is the message of the market and those who think they know better should read this article. Those who think that a decisive agreement will be reached in Paris that will even stop world-wide fossil fuel use from rising are not facing reality. Once that is taken on board it becomes clear that there is for the foreseeable future a huge market for fossil fuel, and where there is a demand there will be a supply.

LISTEN TO NIGEL LAWSON TALK ON THE PROSPECTS FOR PARIS CLIMATE DEAL

Here is a link to the interview.

COLD KILLS FAR MORE PEOPLE THAN HOT WEATHER

This piece explains that cold weather kills twenty times more people than hot. A fact that receives little mention on the TV news. It is yet another fact that does not back the idea that mild global warming is a major threat to the planet.

$89 TRILLION TO FIX THE CLIMATE, SAYS WORLD BANK

That extraordinary sum is seriously put forward, according to this article. How could any organisation arrive at such a sum, and why should they expect to be taken seriously? What is the point of mentioning this figure? I cannot even think of a plausible explanation other than they have finally completely lost the plot. The total world GDP is only $70 trillion. It is complete madness.

THE MARCH OF GREEN ACTIVISM THROUGH USA COLLEGES (AND UK TOO)

Here is part of a report into the infiltration of green activism into colleges that is quite disturbing. It has already happened and most of us are unaware of it.

WHY FOSSIL FUEL DIVESTMENT WON'T WORK

Here's another good piece by Matt Ridley explaining why selling fossil fuel company shares won't work to bring about the end of fossil fuels.

Here's a previous post on the same subject.

INDIA TO OPEN 40 - 50 NEW COAL MINES IN THE NEXT 18 MONTHS

It is quite clear from this report that whatever is agreed in the next big climate conference in Paris next December, there is not going to be any reduction in world emissions of CO2. India, and China have already committed to massive increases in fossil fuel power stations, more than enough to make up for any small savings by the developed nations.

EL NINO CONDITIONS LIKELY THROUGHOUT 2015

This report explains what is happening in the tropical Pacific. It can have a strong effect on the weather in many parts of the world. It can be linked with monsoons in Southeast Asia, droughts in southern Australia, the Philippines and Ecuador, blizzards in the United States, heatwaves in Brazil and extreme flooding in Mexico. However it is unlikely to have much influence on the UK weather.

IS SEA LEVEL RISE MEASURABLE?

This piece takes a look at the latest papers on the subject. One comment from TonyM seemed to hit the nail on the head:
"It is mind boggling to believe that measurement of sea levels that cover 70% of the Earth’s surface, can be miles deep, and are in constant turmoil, can be measured with millimeter accuracy. They are subject not only to sinking ocean bottoms, but to melting and growing glaciers, the ongoing motions of the tectonic plates, the temperature of the water, the amount of wind, and who knows what other forces, . Sea level rise measurements seem to have the same believability as average global temperature calculations. The forces and variables that determine them are so many, so chaotic, and so poorly understood, that these calculations are nothing more than excercises in writing computer programs."

 

BBC GW PROPAGANDA IS BEYOND A JOKE

Christopher Booker has once more expressed what many of us feel about the unremitting propaganda on global warming being pushed out by our national broadcaster. The public are being softened up in readiness for the next treaty for which our UK government is a ready cheerleader.

AUSSIE PMs ADVISOR SAYS CLIMATE CHANGE IS A FRONT FOR UN POWER GRAB

This article gives the details of an article written by the chairman of Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s Business Advisory Council, Maurice Newman, in which he dared suggest that the real climate change agenda was “concentrated political authority”.  He has accused the UN of attempting to subvert democracy, of attempting to establish a worldwide authoritarian regime, with political power concentrated in the hands of UN officials. This is powerful stuff written by someone very close to the PM, so close that it is doubtful that it was written without the knowledge or consent of the PM himself. If only someone close to David Cameron would do something similar.

CLIMATE CHANGE PSYCHO-BABBLE

This new paper by a group of psychologists purports to explain why climate scientists are not giving out more alarming predictions about the future. Apparently it's not because their computer climate models have been found to be inaccurate, or that temperature records are showing an 18 year pause in warming. No, it's simply that they have succumbed to the arguments and language used by sceptics. Those nasty sceptics have been implanting naughty words like "pause" or "hiatus" and totally confused the poor climate scientists. How beastly can these horrible sceptics get?

A SENSIBLE CLIMATE CHANGE ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN

This piece published in the Guardian is by a climate scientist, Tamsin Edwards, and it contains a lot of sense. Does this mean that the alarmism is finally being tempered with realism? I doubt it, but at least the fruitcakes who inhabit that paper will have the opportunity to read a little common sense and that must be a good thing.

WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE SUN?

Here is the answer. Exactly how much of our weather is controlled by the sun we do not know, but perhaps we are about to find out. I would not be surprised to learn that it has more influence than CO2.

VATICAN BURNS WITH GLOBAL WARMING ENTHUSIASM

This article looks at what lies behind the decision of the Catholic Church to sign up hook, line and sinker to the climate alarmist position.

"The Big Question. Why? Why is the Catholic Church entering into the fray of doubtful global warming science? Why now and why with such shrill apocalyptic exaggerated rhetoric?  Why strident calls for supranational government control at the same time the actual evidence for doom grows weaker and weaker?"

ON SEA LEVEL DO YOU TRUST THE MODELS OR THE MEASUREMENTS?

Here is a paper that gives you the information to decide. The author of the paper  writes that "there is basically no significant warming or change of salinity within the accuracy limits of the measurements," leading him to contend that "the lack of any significant difference in the spatial distribution in latitude, longitude and depth from one year to another year shows that the theoretically proposed increased heat is missing." Interesting!

SPACE & SCIENCE RESEARCH COUNCIL PRESS RELEASE - COOLING CLIMATE IMMINENT

Here is the press release which makes the prediction. It is no more certain than any other prediction, but it should be considered. How ironic it would be if all the hype about warming was completely wrong and instead we got cooling.

UPSET THE GREENS AND THEY WILL TURN VERY NASTY

This is what those caring green activists will do to protect the environment.  It seems that we are living in a world in which anarchy is becoming increasingly the rule. We must watch our backs if we upset these people who seem to have little or no fear of the law.  They seem to be adopting the ways of the hard-line Muslim fundamentalist, a sort of green Taliban.

LABOUR'S DECARBONISATION PLEDGE WILL COST AT LEAST £200 BILLION

This article in the Telegraph calculates the cost of Ed Miliband's election pledge to decarbonise the UK power sector by 2030. The figure of £200 billion is considered to be a low estimate, as the true cost is likely to be a lot higher. Unfortunately the Conservatives are not exposing this Labour catastrophe as they are too afraid of incurring the wrath of the green lobby. UKIP is the only party with a sensible energy policy, but have no chance of delivering.

SO THE NEPAL EARTHQUAKE WAS CAUSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE

That is the proposition put forward in this article.  The biggest argument against this proposition is that we have not had any global warming for the past 18 years and no significant climate change over the majority of the planet; therefore this could not have been the cause of the Nepal earthquake. Also even if slight changes of climate were to cause earthquakes it is simply not possible to prevent the climate changes that occur naturally, and have done so since the Earth was formed.

SOUTH AFRICA TURNS TO FOSSIL FUELS FOR ENERGY

One of the most energy-starved regions on the planet, southern Africa, is gearing up to build a fleet of more than a dozen coal plants to eliminate rolling power cuts. South Africa, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Tanzania are all in the process of putting together agreements with independent contractors to build coal-fuelled thermal electric plants. If there’s one thing that southern Africa has plenty of, it’s coal. According to the Southern Africa Development Community’s master plan for energy, proven coal reserves are about 32 billion tonnes of economically recoverable reserves; the estimated total resources are more than ten times that figure. --Gavin du Venage, The National, 25 April 2015

CHINA SAYS YES TO GREEN MONEY, NO TO GREEN ACTION

This piece from Jo Nova has a paragraph that sums up the Chinese attitude to climate change very nicely. Here it is:

 

In 2013 China and India had plans to add half a million megawatts of coal fired electricity each. Australia is the largest coal exporter in the world, but China digs up ten times more coal than we export, and when they run out that, they have 200 years of shale gas to use as well. To show us how serious they are they’ve bravely agreed to unenforceable long term climate commitments with no consequences. And to be on the safe side, their population projections show their emissions would peak in 2030 anyway, so they are promising nothing more than business-as-usual. The Chinese obviously don’t give a toss about their emissions, but they will put their hand up to say “thanks for the climate money”. Eighty percent of Chinese people were skeptical  in one Gallup International poll. Guess they aren’t as stupid as some others.

GREEN POLICIES ARE KILLING AFRICANS - NOT CLIMATE CHANGE

This piece explains the reality of enacting measures to reduce emissions of CO2, or in the case of Africa prevent them from rising. It brings home the true cost of denying poor nations access to the relatively inexpensive fossil fuels such as coal. Yet that is the policy of nations like the UK and the USA.

THE COSTLIEST MISTAKE BY A POLITICIAN EVER

That, according to Christopher Booker (and I am not disagreeing with him) is the Climate Change Act brought in by Ed Miliband. At £50,000 for each of us it is enormous.
