The US Supreme Court just laid out an 8-0 decision (Justice Neil Gorsuch recused himself) that to me looks devastating for the environmental psychopaths in the climate cult. And while I may be reading too much into it, this was a unanimous outcome. Even the liberal justices agreed. To what? The court ruled that the … Read more
Just weeks after the Iberian Peninsula went dark thanks to an overreliance on unreliable energy, New Orleans had 100,000 customers left in the dark. The power outage came with a three-minute warning as providers were forced to kill the juice to avoid imminent widespread and longer blackouts. Grid instability issues threatened to produce a much … Read more
The sky is blue, water is wet, and each year, about this time, the ‘ Grok reviews NOAA’s annual hurricane predictions. It’s not that we’re overly interested in hurricanes, though you’d be hard pressed to prove otherwise. There are over 100 articles in recent years on the subject, but for a good reason. The science. … Read more
As reported back in March, Vermont is pretending to be concerned about arbitrary man-made emissions reduction targets. Two months ago, experts predicted the state would miss by as much as 12%. All the usual suspects were pearl-clutching and hand-wringing, despite decisions about the things measured being as arbitrary and man-made as the target. What counts … Read more
On May 24th, 2006, the so-called climate documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ exposed Americans to sore loser Al Gore’s post-public-office wealth accumulation strategy: peddle fear and cherry-pick data into the perception of expertise, scaremonger bad science to sell people on ideas he would invest in. Al did his speaking tours, got lots of earned media for … Read more
The latest clash between climate ideology and reality – the requirement in the Global Warming Solutions Act (2020) that Vermont adopt California’s Clean Cars and Clean Trucks standards – is coming to a head. So far reality has been racking up the victories with the Clean Heat Standard for home heating now lying “dormant” as … Read more
We are always looking for tools you can use in the social media jungle—rhetorical weapons of conversational self-defense. Things that, while they may not change the hearts or minds of an intractable opponent who might be embedded like a tick in their beliefs, may encourage observers to consider your position. On the topic of climate, … Read more
Vermont climate activists in the legislature and beyond continue to insist that their policies will ultimately save Vermonters money. How they reach this mathematically questionable conclusion (apart from the scenario where the politicians rob Peter to pay for Paul’s “free” weatherization project and installation of cold climate heat pumps in which case Paul certainly saves … Read more
When the Spanish electricity grid collapsed one ordinary Monday in late April, the dreams of renewable energy and the green transition team died with it. On these pages, Ryan McMaken was quick to point out that, under European Green Deal-type political convictions, affordability and reliability are not important virtues of the European electricity grid. Shoving too much odious excrement onto … Read more
It is no secret that New Hampshire and Granite Staters are on a big climate cult meat hook, not entirely of our own making. Yes, we still have lingering mandates like carbon credit schemes (neutered but not gone) alongside renewable portfolio mandates. These should have been flushed down the toilet years ago, but bitter climate … Read more
Jet-setting to COP a climate feel is the poster-boy-girl-man-thing of the globalist elite. We are so concerned about emissions, we’re emitting tons of them, so you don’t have to – by which they mean you can’t. Their luxury is about saving the planet for themselves. In other words, the proglodytes are hypocrites. Modern-day Pharisees. Holy … Read more
One of the very human things that happens when you evolve beyond ideas about the divine (God) is the heady rush to replace that with something else—cults of personality, hobby obsessions, substance abuse, Scientism, even the god King without God, or climate change—where you are god. The idea that puny humans are altering the planet is … Read more
