Let’s see just how long this auto workers’ strike lasts. It’s not really about the 46% pay raise but the 2009 Obama deal that took away cost-of-living adjustments. It’s not really about the short run, either. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash But let’s see what the auto workers get in the face of President Biden’s unrealistic demand that would force us to buy Chinese battery-powered vehicles. The sheep will remain loyal – just as they are to every other radical idea – because … [Read more...]

Has the Sun’s True Role in Global Warming Been Miscalculated?
The following is a guest article by Willie Soon. A new international study published in the scientific peer-reviewed journal, Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics, by 20 climate researchers from 12 countries suggests that the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) might have substantially underestimated the role of the Sun in global warming. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash The article began as a response to a 2022 commentary on an extensive review of the … [Read more...]
Is New York Times Senior Writer David Leonhardt Lying, Lazy, or Just Stupid?
Every morning the New York Times sends subscribers a newsletter called "The Morning." September 12's lead item, by David Leonhardt, discussed why he thinks the Electoral College may be getting less friendly to Republicans. Whether that's so is an interesting question, but it's not what most caught my eye. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash What most caught my eye was his statement that "the Republican Party denies climate change." Nope, sorry. The Republican Party's platform, … [Read more...]
New Book—Green Breakdown: The Coming Renewable Energy Failure
Do you think that wind, solar, and batteries can replace the hydrocarbon fuels that power our modern industrialized society? A new book, Green Breakdown, shows why the Net Zero agenda—a forced transition to renewable energy—is costly, dangerous, and destined for failure. Using science, economics, and in-depth analysis, the book exposes the weaknesses in the planned green energy transition and predicts a coming renewable energy failure. Green Breakdown is a complete discussion of all facets of … [Read more...]
Supernatural Warnings Come to California
On the same day that Hurricane (Tropical Storm) Hilary brought record rainfall to the Los Angeles area (nearly 6 inches to Lake Palmdale and 4.26 inches on the UCLA campus), a magnitude 5.1 earthquake occurred in nearby Ojai. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash To the truly enlightened, these rare disasters should serve as a warning from on high that the Golden State is headed for a massive downfall – punishment for trying to force smog-fighting electric vehicles … [Read more...]
Cobalt Carnage, Child Labor, and Ecological Destruction
Global cobalt demand soared with the advent of cell phones and laptop computers. It exploded with the arrival of electric vehicles and is now skyrocketing in tandem with government EV mandates and subsidies. Cobalt improves battery performance, extends driving range, and reduces fire risks. Demand will reach stratospheric heights if governments remain obsessed with climate change and Net Zero. States and nations would have to switch to electric cars, trucks, buses, and tractors; end … [Read more...]
Bloomberg Finances and Coopts State Attorneys General
Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash When you’ve built a financial information and media empire and become the world’s seventh richest person, you get to say dumb things, like suggesting that farming is easy: “You dig a hole, put a seed in, put dirt on top, add water – and up comes the corn.”Being ultra-wealthy also shields Michael Bloomberg from any fallout from the climate and energy policies he pursues so zealously. He will doubtless be able to afford electricity at any price for his … [Read more...]
Jurassic Mammoths?
The following is an excerpt from an article by Heather Frank. Shaggy-coated and large-tusked, woolly mammoths once roamed the cold tundra of Europe, Asia, and North America. Mammoths became extinct thousands of years ago, but now Colossal, a biosciences and genetics company, wants to bring these pachyderms back to life. Using cutting-edge genetic engineering technology, Colossal aims to insert mammoth DNA into Asian elephants to create a “cold-tolerant elephant mammoth hybrid.” Co-founded … [Read more...]
UAH Global Temperature Update for July, 2023: +0.64 deg. C
New Record High Temperatures and a Weird Month July 2023 was an unusual month, with sudden warmth and a few record or near-record high temperatures. Image: Creative Commons under Unsplash Since the satellite record began in 1979, July 2023 was: These results suggest something peculiar is going on. It’s too early for the developing El Nino in the Pacific to have much effect on the tropospheric temperature record. The Hunga Tonga sub-surface ocean volcano eruption and its … [Read more...]
Senate Budget Committee Hearing: JC responds
The recent Senate hearing was a sad example of what passes for debate and deliberations by the U.S. Senate. In any event, it provides an interesting case study of why the U.S. cannot bridge the partisan divide and figure out how to deal sensibly with the climate change issue. In case you missed it, the Chair of the Senate Budget, Sheldon Whitehouse, has immortalized on youtube his questioning of me at the end of the Hearing: Chairman Whitehouse Presses GOP Witness in … [Read more...]
