WHITE HOUSE TARGETS EPA CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAMS

This piece explains the latest announcement from the Trump administration. It is good to see the president make good on his campaign promises. Is it too much to hope that Theresa May follows his example here in the UK? 

HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER EMITS GREENHOUSE GASES TOO

This article looks at the emission of methane and nitrous oxide from hydro-electric schemes and finds that it is a significant amount. This begs the question of why these emissions are not counted by the IPCC?

RICHARD LINDZEN PETITION TO PRESIDENT TRUMP - PULL USA OUT OF CLIMATE CHANGE TREATY

This article gives the details of the letter and the petition that has been sent to the President urging him to follow through on his pledge to with draw the USA from the UN's climate change agenda. It has been signed by over 300 highly qualified scientists, which in itself shows that there is certainly no consensus over this highly contentious issue. I hope the President summons up the courage to face the backlash he will undoubtedly get from the climate alarmist fraternity.

GREEN LEVIES TO MAKE A QUARTER OF ELECTRIC BILLS BY 2020

Ministers were last night urged to come clean about the explosion in green levies by publishing the cost in household power bills. Furious peers said green subsidies will make up around a QUARTER of the typical electricity bill by 2020 – but the public had no idea they were picking up the tab. It came as a cross-party Lords Committee blamed the levies and other disastrous Government interventions for pushing electricity prices sky-high. They warned the 58 per cent surge in prices over the past decade was forcing manufacturers to move overseas. They called for an end to most subsidies and the creation of a new Energy Commission to monitor affordability. --Steve Hawkes, The Sun, 24 February 2017

TRUMP REPEALS ANTI-COAL RULE

This article explains how the new president has repealed a rule introduced by Obama just before he left office that would have severe restrictions on coal mining. Again Donald Trump has shown that he intends to keep his election pledges to help ordinary working people.

MUCH MORE CARBON IN EARTH THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT

This article looks at the latest discovery. New research published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters describes how scientists have used the world’s largest array of seismic sensors to map a deep-Earth area of melting carbonate covering 1.8 million square kilometres. Situated under the Western US, 350km beneath Earth’s surface, the discovered melting region challenges accepted understanding of how much carbon Earth contains — much more than previously understood.

SCOTT PRUITT TO HEAD THE EPA IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

This piece explains the policy to be followed by the newly appointed head of the American Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He is going to take the EPA back to its core responsibility and away from its recent course of climate change activism. 

EXCELLENT LECTURE BY PROF.JOHN CHRISTY

Here is a very important lecture by one of the most credible scientists you can hear, Professor John Christy. He has a way of putting the science across that makes it easily understandable to all. He makes many excellent points but one that stands out for me is the immeasurable difference that would be made by massive unilateral cuts in CO2 emissions by the USA. This can be accessed from about 24 minutes into the video. This video has had 11,800 viewings to date but it needs to be seen by a much larger audience so please view it and, if you agree then pass it on to others.  

SAME SEX MARRIAGE THE MODEL FOR CLIMATE ACTION

This piece looks at a climate alarmists plan to convince us to give up fossil fuels by  learning lessons from the same sex marriage movement. This is a desperate ploy from people who are running out of ideas. He claims that gay marriage was adopted by popular demand, although it was in fact imposed by government. Perhaps he hopes that renewables will replace fossil fuels in the same way. What he overlooks is that without fossil fuels we would have expensive unreliable electricity and that would not be popular and could not be imposed in a democracy. 

NEW NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS IN DOUBT AS UK GOVERNMENT DEMANDS PRICE CUTS

This piece/a> tells us the UK government's demand that further nuclear plants (after Hinckley) will have to produce electricity at 15 - 20% less than the Hinckley deal is likely to cause their building to be in doubt.

CALIFORNIA'S DAM LEAK CAUSES ENERGY CRISIS

This article looks at the ramifications of the damaged dam in California. After years of low rainfall they are now experiencing how the weather can change, just as happened in Brisbane, Australia. What this shows us is not that humans are damaging the climate - it is simply that weather changes and we humans had better be prepared for it, because we cannot predict it. 

SURVEY GETS THE "RIGHT ANSWERS" ON GW

This Survey shows that if you ask the "right" questions you can get the answers you want. What this survey does not show (as the questions were not asked) is:

What percentage of people were prepared to pay considerably more for their energy in order to reduce the world's CO2 emissions by a very small and insignificant amount?

What percentage of people were aware that the statistics used to provide evidence to support climate alarm were being manipulated by some leading climate scientists?

What percentage of people were aware that global warming has been much lower in the past twenty years than in the previous twenty, even though emissions of CO2 have continued to increase significantly?

Of course no climate alarmist organisation is going to ask these type of questions because they don't even want to admit these things are true.

BEWARE THE TROJAN HORSE OF SUSTAINABILITY

This article looks at the UN "sustainability agenda" and explains how an innocuous sounding agenda in fact hides a wealth of freedom and job destroying regulations. A kind of Trojan horse for the modern age.
"Who today can foresee what technologies future generations will have 25, 50,or 200 years from now? What raw materials they will need? How are we supposed to ensure that those families meet their needs"?
"Why then would we even think of empowering government to regulate today’s activities today based on the wholly unpredictable technologies, lifestyles, needs, and resource demands of distant generations? Why would we ignore or compromise the needs of current generations, to meet those totally unpredictable future needs – including the needs of today’s most impoverished, energy-deprived, malnourished people, who desperately want to improve their lives"?

THIS IS WHY TRUMP QUIT THE TPP

Many people must be wondering why USA President, Donald Trump issued an Executive Order to leave the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). On the surface the TPP seems like a beneficial free trade agreement, but dig deeper and you find that it is like another version of the EU, packed with regulations and environmental dictats including those on climate change. Read this article for more details. It would have tied the USA into carrying out things that were against the benefit of its own citizens. Thank goodness they elected Donald just in time. 

ANOTHER RESPECTED SCIENTIST COMES OUT AGAINST CO2 GW HYPOTHESIS

This article is by a respected scientist and meteorologist and life-long Democrat who has studied the global warming hypothesis and came to the conclusion that it wasn't correct. He is one of a growing number of eminent scientists to speak out against the increasingly dodgy-looking CO2 warming hypothesis.

WHY SHOULD WE TRUST CLIMATE SCIENTISTS? ASKS DAVID ROSE

David Rose's latest article in the Mail on Sunday looks at the response to his three page article of the week before on the way global warming data was misused to exaggerate the warming trend and create alarm where none was justified.

CARLISLE FLOODING DOWN TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE (NOT CLIMATE CHANGE)

This report gives a full account of the flooding in Carlisle of a year ago, which some climate alarmists attributed to "global warming". The following paragraph is very telling.

"Contrary to Government reporting on "Desmond" (the named storm that caused the flooding) the flooding of Carlisle was not principally caused by "climate change" but as a direct result of long term lack of river maintenance and poor management causing the build up of accumulated gravels and thereby forcing rivers to run higher in their channels than they used to".

Guaranteed that this report will not figure in any mainstream news bulletin.

"SHOW THE LOVE" AND SUPPORT THE AFFORDABLE FUEL COALITION

As climate alarmists desperately try to shore up their core support (as more and more of the general public begin to desert them) an organisation called the Climate Coalition has written a report with a press release entitled "Show The Love"claiming a whole raft of weather damage is actually caused by something called "climate change".

Who are the Climate Coalition? Here is the answer. While many are small local groups of environment worriers, others are huge wealthy multi-national charities. When looking through them all it seems at first sight that they must represent a huge number of people. However even though they collectively comprise a large membership, many of their members may not share the beliefs of their leadership and in reality that is probably the case. It is a pity that there is not an opposing coalition. It could be called the Affordable Fuel Coalition, but even though a lot of individuals might join, I doubt there would be many organisations prepared to publicly sign up. Such is the power of propaganda!

I doubt if any of the leaders of these organisations has ever looked at the evidence to see if the claims they make are in fact supported by the scientific data. Luckily for us someone has done it for us. The result is, as expected, the claims are unsubstantiated and can safely be explained as due to changes in the weather - something that we humans can have no power over, other than to prepare and adapt to it.

ROLLING BLACKOUTS IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA - IS THIS OUR FUTURE?

This piece gives a warning that a grid relying on increasing amounts of wind energy is very vulnerable to periods of calm conditions. This is likely to lead to the situation described in the link. Could the UK come to this?

More on this here. Further updates here.

UK ENERGY BILLS HIGHER THAN GOVERNMENT FORECAST

This report explains that the government is to breach its own limit on the amount of subsidies being paid to renewable energy schemes. The costs of green energy schemes are capped as part of a framework, and are funded through levies on energy companies and inevitably paid for by consumers in their energy bills. But the Public Accounts Committee said the Government’s management of the framework lacks “transparency, rigour and accountability”.

COMPUTER MODEL SURFACE TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS NOT RELIABLE

This article shows just how unreliable the adjustments made to surface temperatures are. Remember the whole of the warming since 1880 is only about 1 degree C and so even a small error of 0.1 C is 10% of it. Hence these errors mean the whole record is no longer trustworthy. Alas the public are not being informed about this, unless they read the climate blogs or the Mail on Sunday. When will the TV news people escape from their current global warming obsession and start to update the public?

POLAND TO TAKE EU TO COURT OVER GLOBAL WARMING RULES

This piece explains what is happening as nations realise the huge economic cost of following the EU climate change policies. The EU is facing a lot of problems including brexit, but the energy policy has not received much coverage in the mainstream media, yet. 

MATT RIDLEY - POLITICS AND SCIENCE ARE A TOXIC COMBINATION

This article explains the significance of the latest fakery coming from  the alarmist climate science camp. Funny, but I haven't heard anything about this on the news.

This piece by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Science, Space, and Technology members responded to reports about the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) 2015 climate change study (“the Karl study”). It looks like trouble ahead for Dr Karl and his careless associates.

JAPAN TO BUILD 45 NEW HELE COAL PLANTS

45 High Energy Low Emission (HELE) coal plants are to be built in Japan according to this piece. It is becoming clearer by the day that developed nations are not following the UK's Climate Change Act, and it's about time that here in the UK we had a re-think too.

THE FINAL COUP DE GRACE (FOR EU INDUSTRY)

If only all our politicians were as sound as Roger Helmer MEP. His blog is always worth reading and this piece sums up the situation of EU industry's competitiveness as a result of the carbon taxes imposed by the EU Emission Trading System (ETS). All the EU politicians must know he is speaking the truth and yet most of them will not admit it. They cannot impose extra taxes without making them uncompetitive. It's that simple.

MAIL ON SUNDAY EXPOSES CLIMATE CHANGE FRAUD

Wow!! A three page expose in today's Mail on Sunday shows how vital data was manipulated at the highest level in order to influence the Paris climate summit. This could be as big as the email exposure of climate scientists back in 2008. I wonder if the big TV channels will put it on their news bulletins?

IS USA EPA DOOMED?

This article explains the likely scenario for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the new government in the USA. The linked article gives a very positive outcome (for a sceptic).

BOOKER HIGHLIGHTS RENEWABLE MADNESS IN UK. WILL TRUMP SHOW US THE WAY?

This piece by Christopher Booker in the Sunday Telegraph highlights the huge costs of renewable energy schemes in the UK. We urgently need to end this madness. Perhaps if President Trump can show the way forward Theresa May will follow his lead. We can only wait and hope.

THE GW FALL BACK PLAN FOR $9 BILLION IF REQUIRED

This article looks at a simple way to lower the earth's temperature that could be deployed at a fraction of the cost of the current efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. We could just leave it in abeyance until (or if!) the need for it arises. Problem solved!

SUPPORT TRUMP'S VISIT TO THE UK - SIGN THE NEW PETITION

The link to the petition is in this short article. Those of us who want to see common sense on climate know that Trump is our best chance and so it is important to support him when we can. 

WILLIAM HAPPER Q & A - A REAL TOUR DE FORCE

Here is an in-depth dialogue with Dr William Happer that is well worth reading, even though it is quite lengthy. If you can stand it, there is also a similar one with arch alarmist, Dr David Karoly. Each of them was then supposed to write a rebuttal, though for some reason Karoly seems to have backed out. They are now looking for an alarmist scientist to replace him.
