Large-scale storage of electricity is the latest proposed solution to boost the deployment of renewables. Renewable energy advocates, businesses, and state governments plan to use batteries to store electricity to solve the problem of intermittent wind and solar output. But large-scale storage is only an insignificant part of the electrical power industry and doomed to remain so for decades to come. Last month, Senator Susan Collins of Maine introduced a bi-partisan bill named “The Better … [Read more...]
Never Have US Health Professionals Been So Foolish
Last month, 74 US medical and public health groups released a “U.S. Call to Action,”declaring climate change a “true public health emergency” that can be solved by “urgent action.” The statement calls for a transition away from hydrocarbon energy and a move to a low-carbon economy. But actual weather and health trends don’t support either the alarm or the demanded actions. The statement was endorsed by the American Medical Association, the American … [Read more...]
Apocalyptic Sea-Level Rise—Just a Thing of the Past?
On February 2, 1978—41 years ago!—The Wall Street Journal warned in a headline that “Low-Lying Lands Could Be Submerged by Climatic Disaster.” Fears of apocalyptic sea-level rise are nothing new despite the fact that they seem to have recently taken on a new life of their own, especially in South Florida, where I live. The only scientific correlation I can make with any certainty is that these fears rise in direct proportion to the number of socialists elected to Congress. So, … [Read more...]
The Spectacular Cricket World Cup and The Climate Undertone
The cricket world cup ended earlier this month after an amazing final between the hosts England and New Zealand. The tournament entertained fans across the world, but not without drama. Rain and the unusually cold start to the summer resulted in cancellation of key games in the earlier part of the tournament. It revealed a larger climate truth, one that is contrary to the propaganda peddled by the UK’s liberal mainstream media. Cricket is very similar to baseball. Pitchers pitch the … [Read more...]
The unintended consequence of the green movement is the creation of more homeless
The green movement has done a great job of stymying the growth of nuclear power generation. That in itself creates an oxymoron. Nuclear is the only known technology to generate zero emission electricity on a continuous uninterruptable basis. With the success the green movement has had on nuclear, it’s now attracting big oil companies to invest huge sums into renewables - wind and solar. There are three main reasons for that kind of investment from “big oil” into renewables. First, … [Read more...]
“Test all things.” Even the Cornwall Alliance? Yes!
"Bombshell Claim: Scientists Find 'Man-made Climate Change Doesn't Exist in Practice'." That was the headline on an article at ZeroHedge.com sent to me a few days ago by a friend. Naturally I was intrigued. I read the article, then clicked through to the paper on which it reported: "No Experimental Evidence for the Significant Anthropogenic Climate Change," by Finnish authors J. Kauippinen and P. Malmi, both of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Turku. Its … [Read more...]
Record High Temperatures in France: 3 Facts the Media Don’t Tell You
Editor’s Note: The article below is the clearest explanation I can remember having read of why global warming alarmists are mistaken to point to record high temperatures in various regions as evidence or confirmation of global warming (let alone of manmade global warming). Cornwall Alliance Senior Fellow Dr. Roy W. Spencer explains three causes of the recent heat wave in France (and Western Europe generally): (1) Record high temperatures occur without global warming, a fact demonstrated by the … [Read more...]
The “Freak” Guadalajara Hailstorm wasn’t So Freakish
Recent news events regarding heat waves, record high temperatures, and even yesterday’s hailstorm in Guadalajara, Mexico, are commonly presented as evidence of a changing climate system. The trouble is that making such an association is a stretch, at best, for a number of reasons. Today I’ll deal with the Guadalajara “freak” hailstorm, which is claimed to have “dumped up to 6 feet of ice” on portions of the city. The Mountains of Northwest Mexico are “Hail Central” The high elevations … [Read more...]
AOC’s Green New Deal Was Never About the Climate
"The interesting thing about the Green New Deal is it wasn’t originally a climate thing at all." Obviously that must have been said by a critic the the Green New Deal, right? Wrong. The speaker went on to say: "Do you guys think of it as a climate thing? Because we really think of it as a how-do-you-change-the-entire-economy thing.” The speaker was Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's (D-NY) chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti. He made it official a couple of months ago when he met … [Read more...]
China’s Coal Bi-Polarity Expedites the Death of the Paris Agreement
The Paris agreement’s nosedive has been expedited by the growing skepticism about man-made global warming. However, the most significant threat to the agreement has come from countries that refuse to quench their addiction to coal. Among them is the largest consumer of coal: China. China’s continued defiance of the anti-coal establishment has dealt a lethal blow to the future prospects of the Paris agreement. Here are some key indicators from China which suggest that the chance … [Read more...]
