“Energy Department climate office bans use of phrase ‘climate change’”
Posted: March 31, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentMaybe it’s because the new administration logically understands that “climate crisis” and “energy” are bitter ideological enemies?
Fantastic news. Sanity prevailing…
Guest post by David Middleton
A supervisor at the Energy Department’s international climate office told staff this week not to use the phrases “climate change,” “emissions reduction” or “Paris Agreement” in written memos, briefings or other written communication, sources have told POLITICO.
Employees of DOE’s Office of International Climate and Clean Energy learned of the ban at a meeting Tuesday, the same day President Donald Trump signed an executive order at EPA headquarters to reverse most of former President Barack Obama’s climate regulatory initiatives. Officials at the State Department and in other DOE offices said they had not been given a banned words list, but they had started avoiding climate-related terms in their memos and briefings given the new administration’s direction on climate change.

News of the DOE office’s word ban drew criticism from one green group.

China: USA is “Selfish” for Wanting to Burn Coal
Posted: March 30, 2017 Filed under: Fact Check, Fossil Fuels | Tags: China, clean coal, climate, Climate Change, coal, coal fired power, Energy, Greenpeace, greenwashing, propaganda Leave a commentMeanwhile, China opens a new coal-fired power station every week. With 2,500 more in the pipe by 2030 (the exact year the Obama/China ‘Emission cap’ deal takes place).
Epic greenwashing propaganda by the Chinese. But all told, they are winning the propaganda green game with green activists the world over, including Greenpeace China, praising China for their “unreliable” energy (wind/solar) efforts!
Hilarious how far the West and eco-nuts are being taken for a ride.
Nice one China. You still got it ! (Propaganda wise that is!) 🇨🇳

Leaders from China and the US reached an agreement on climate change at the end of 2014, which paved the way for the signing of the Paris Agreement the next year. China and the US are the world’s two largest emitters of carbon dioxide. China is poised to reduce the emissions per unit of GDP by limiting the use of fossil fuels. However, what the US is doing undermines the other countries’ dedication…

Climate Scientists Demonstrate Again That they Are Incompetent Zealots
Posted: March 30, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized 1 Comment
Sep 30, 2014
Scientists are fairly confident that global warming increased the severity and likelihood of extreme heat events in 2013 in Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, Japan, China and Europe.
Blistering heat waves recorded around the globe in 2013 were linked to human-caused global warming, according to a broad survey of studies on extreme weather events published yesterday.
Global Warming Fired Up Heat Waves in 2013 – Scientific American
I’m completely confident that these scientists are clueless. The EPA shows that by far the worst heat waves occurred 80 years ago, with CO2 at 310 PPM.
High and Low Temperatures | Climate Change | US EPA
The clearest climate signals emerged in Australia, which is the driest continent on Earth. In 2013, the nation faced its hottest year on record since measurements began in 1910. The year was also exceptionally dry, leading to the colloquial name the Big Dry.

Nuclear Power: the ‘Grown Ups’ Option for Australia’s Unfolding Power Crisis
Posted: March 30, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentEXCELLENT (sane) read.
We need to start talking (CO2-free) nuclear. If CO2 is yur jam.
IMHO nuclear fusion will be the future. Bonding/fusing hydrogen atoms just like our sun does! And the processes primary fuel source – sea water!
A long way off as we are yet to control the enormous heat reaction and harness its limitless baseload energy.
Warmist environmental editor Andy Revkin of the (warmist) NYTimes is a strong advocate. Well worth searching his name + hydrogen fusion.
maturity, noun: the quality of behaving mentally and emotionally like an adult; a very advanced or developed form or state.
If there is one attribute sorely missed in Australia’s energy debate it has to be ‘maturity’.
Now that Australia’s suicidal renewable energy policies are starting to bite, destroying the viability of our cheapest and most reliable base-load power plants and, with them, our once reliable and affordable power supplies, a state of panic has set in.
Fear and anxiety are not conducive to finding measured and lasting solutions to existential threats like the one that has already played out in South Australia; and which now threatens the rest of the Country.
Instead of fronting up to the causes and consequences of our power pricing and supply calamity, the morally bankrupt idiots that pretend to govern us have dashed straight for the periphery: calling in aid from Californian carpetbagger, Elon…

Hump Day Hilarity: Mann-o-War at the House Climate Science Hearing
Posted: March 30, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment“Dr. Mann’s testimony is I am a victim and I appeal to authority to prove my point. He is a sad representative of the science community.” (Comment by Pathway)
Spot-on. Mann’s testimony reads as a desperate defence of all his very sciency “denier” attacks, shonky-stick science and tired defence of the regurgitated “97% consensus” political lie.
Of “the science” that he did offer, was an aggregated temp graph by Peter Jacobs of George Mason Uni. (p.13) conveniently leaving off the record 2016-2017 post El Niño temp drop that was observed across all data sets.
Rather outdated and deceptive evidence put to the science committee considering he has had over four months to add the latest data. – Though in his defence, ending his temp chart on the record 2016 super El Niño high certainly leaves his debunked “hockey-stick” legacy/lie in tact.
Deception and manipulation is what Mann does best. His ‘defence’ testimony bears this out.

On this historic Brexit day the fun has not been confined to this continent. Over in the US they have had a ‘hearing’ on Climate Science with three of the world’s most eminent climate scientists. Michael Mann was there too.
The Hearing- Climate Science: Assumptions, Policy Implications, and the Scientific Method, House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. On the Panel were Dr. Judith Curry, Dr. John Christy. Dr. Michael Mann, and Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.
Worth watching (nearly) the whole thing.

Sun’s impact on climate change quantified for first time
Posted: March 29, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentShock! Horror! The “Sun” influences climate change 😱
The fact that the UN IPCC and CMIP5 climate models (through which governments use to formulate trillions of dollars of taxpayers money on climate policy, schemes and scams) dismiss the sun as having anything to do with climate change aka global warming, should be the biggest hint of the nefarious agenda of the UN IPCC who set the “man-made” climate narrative.
God forbid that the sun has anything to do with climate change! How would one be able to blame evil mankind and its evil trace gasses if the sun were a key driver?
How would Governments tax the sun? Although the Spanish government did have a such a sun-tax during its disastrous “unreliable” (wind/solar) energy experiment that literally wrecked its economy.
That said, congratulations to (the warmist) phys.org for publishing this finding. Though I can’t help thinking that maybe the editorial board were away on spring break or maybe absent that day?! 🌞
Quiet sun [image credit: NASA]
Solar variation influencing climate is suddenly plausible, say researchers. Who knew? Well, nearly everyone except climate modellers. Although they still mutter about human influence, the reality of the solar slowdown is starting to bite it seems. If as they suggest ‘A weaker sun could reduce temperatures by half a degree’ what might they expect from a ‘stronger sun’?
For the first time, model calculations show a plausible way that fluctuations in solar activity could have a tangible impact on the climate, reports Phys.org.
Studies funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation expect human-induced global warming to tail off slightly over the next few decades. A weaker sun could reduce temperatures by half a degree.

Miami Beach Turning Into Modern Day Atlantis–Fake News BBC
Posted: March 28, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentReading this P.Homewood piece makes me more proud than ever to be a “climate” sceptic.
Proud, because as a non-scientist and mere simpleton, even I can examine and recognise the BBC’s disgraceful effort to spread climate fear and scientific BS via the “Miami Atlantis” threat.
Another classic example of why you cannot believe ANYTHING about “climate change” or “global warming” from the mainstream climate-obsessed sycophant media.

Dear BBC,
An excellent piece via WUWT from guest blogger Kip Hansen should help to unwind your Atlantis, global-warming-induced, sea-level rise/flooding hysteria.

AND YET we base trillions upon trillions of dollars of other peoples (your) money on Paris COP junkets to formulate “Save The Planet” policy, windmills and solar panels that are supposed to curb (man-made) Global Warming Climate Change to below an arbitrary ‘2 degrees C’ by 2100.

How Political Lunacy Sabotaged Australia’s Once Reliable & Affordable Power Suply
Posted: March 27, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a commentAlternative title:
“How Eco-Pantheism, Misanthropic Earth-Worship and Political Virtue-Signalling Has Sabotaged Australia’s Once Reliable & Affordable Power Supply”
If what Australia’s political brains trust has done to its once reliable and affordable power supply had been done by external agents, it would have been branded an act of terrorism.
The so-called ‘wind power capital’ of Australia, South Australia has become an international laughing stock: statewide blackouts, routine load shedding and rocketing power prices might be enough, you would think, to make its Labor government see sense.
Far from it, it is now looking to spend $150 million on a giant battery that will return power to the grid and ‘power’ SA for all of four minutes and to set up somewhere between 200 and 250 MW of diesel generation capacity to keep the lights on, whenever the wind stops blowing.
The absurdity of throwing $550 million at a perfectly avoidable problem, when Jay Weatherill had the option of paying a mere $30 million to Alinta to keep its…
