Last Monday’s Climate Council meeting featured a tense conversation about putting a price tag on what they call the number one “priority” recommendation in their updated Climate Action Plan. The project: a mandatory reporting system for carbon emissions from fuel suppliers and other significant emitters. The price tag, as requested by the Agency of Natural … Read more
A few reminders to start. No matter what they say, the alleged problem is the warming that you cause (even though it’s not you). None of their models work (if you want to read a wonky article about one that does, but doesn’t predict climate Armageddon, look here). The entire exercise is about ending free-market … Read more
After years of necessarily making everything cost more, hating on fossil fuels, and net zero has that green agenda trap just caught the Left’s new “affordability” narrative mouse by the nose? Always in motion is the future. Wise words from Yoda, but we could just as easily say, always emotion, is the future. It isn’t … Read more
AI hungry everything is driving good news on the energy front, but not good enough, or I should say, soon enough. Previous Big Tech “friends” to even the most woke of environmental movements, including the lithium, wind, and solar factions, which are nothing but ‘green-friendly,’ have kicked their former green lovers to the curb. The … Read more
Pennsylvania shocked Northeast energy policy nerds this week by withdrawing from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI). To get a state budget passed, Gov. Josh Shapiro agreed to remove Pennsylvania from the 11-state carbon cap-and-trade program, making it the first state to exit since RGGI was created in 2005. RGGI is supposed to reduce regional … Read more
My attraction to the left’s obsession with “climate chaos” is derived from two fundamental truths. First, it is based on ridiculously unscientific “science.” Low-hanging fruit, if you prefer. For example, the notion of consensus is opposed to what science is—the endless testing and evaluation of conventions in pursuit of truth. The moment a majority of … Read more
New York Governor Kathy Hochul is in a fight with the courts over that state’s greenhouse gas reduction mandates. Like Vermont’s Global Warming Solutions Act, New York passed a law dictating that the state must reduce emissions by, in their case, 40 percent by 2030. And, like Vermont, a major policy for doing so is … Read more
If you want to make improvements, you find out where it is worst or who is causing the most significant problem, and you start there. The systemic failure of public education is in the government schools. They spend three to five times as much for half or only one-third of the desired results. If the … Read more
I get a lot of tips about geoengineering. I also get a lot of tips about how the Jews, despite having 4000 years to do it, are taking over the world. There’s only so much bandwidth available, so I have to skim, sideline, or ignore some things—not just those two. I look. I may even … Read more
The Climate Cult’s entirely faith-based dogma, which includes the computer model Psalms, Book of Algore, and the Hockey Stick Scriptures of Mann (from which Mann Made Global Warming is derived). It fits the framework of a mythology (in every spiritual sense). Nothing about it has to be right because belief is based on faith, and … Read more
After decades of spewing – and funding — climate alarmist rhetoric of the most virulent kind, multi-billionaire Bill Gates shocked the Left by admitting what some of us have been saying all along: Yeah, the climate is changing (it does that), but it’s totally manageable and not a crisis. So, y’all just chill the heck … Read more
MTV was new, and so (still) was President Reagan. The year was 1981. I graduated from high school, and that was the last time the Amundsen-Scott station at the South Pole recorded a temperature as cold as the one on Oct 15th, 2025, minus 61.3 degrees…centigrade. According to the AI search assistant, “The coldest temperature … Read more
We can’t say this enough. Carbon Dioxide is not a pollutant. It is chemically incapable of achieving a tipping point. Accumulation leads to saturation, resulting in a decline in radiative forcing. There’s even evidence that the majority of the (irrelevant) rise has very little to do with human activity. CO2 is not just good for … Read more

The Bay State, the cradle of liberty – robbed by generations of proglodytes pushing the Democrat agenda, is rushing toward disaster. Consumed by the green lie, they authorized the installation of “industrial-size battery energy storage systems (BESS) as a part of our state’s energy future.” As a result, Massachusetts is ill-prepared for the avalanche of … Read more
People who want to buy an EV are welcome to do so, but will have to do it without taxpayers’ props up. And people who sell EVs will likewise have to push the product absent expiring rebates. That’ll make these expensive beasts more challenging to move, but my sense is that EV sellers have never … Read more
Today on the GT morning update, Pope Leo takes up Pope Francis’s Climate Baton, and tries to beat Catholics (and anyone who will listen) with it – rhetorically, of course.

Not only are the tenets of the climate cult lies, but so are their solutions. If there is some warming, it’s not a threat. In fact, human thriving across the earth’s history correlates with periods of warming. Warming, if any, is not driven by CO2—it’s chemically impossible, though not nearly as unbelievable as their solution: … Read more
This lands on the recurring theme of these posts. They still don’t know. It is a few days away, and they have technology and models and a few decades of history and they’ve no clue what they will do.
Vermont Governor Phil Scott just did something unexpected. Scott has long advocated for and supported efforts to achieve the Paris Climate goals. He has encouraged his state to pursue them even after President Trump withdrew America in 2017 and again in 2025, until he didn’t. Governor Scott dropped two bombshells on Vermont’s climate cult. The … Read more
