Back in March, we shared news from Australia that scientists had created a carbon sequestration tool that converted airborne CO2 into coal at room temperature. Talk about renewable energy. The left, naturally, ignored it. But now MIT has announced another method.

More Reasons Why CO2 Isn’t Causing Climate Change and Government Can’t ‘Fix It’
We should pity the floundering liberals who blindly worship the cult of their god-king state. The entity that devours natural rights in exchange for a promise. That if you give it money and power, it can move the earth and save humanity.
Weather Channel Calls Nor’ Easter a Bomb Cyclone – Stupid Name
Bomb Cyclone is a recent term. Maybe a few years old. And it’s stupid. Because what we just had roll through New England has a name. We call ’em nor’ easters. Maybe this one was in transition, and the Weather Channel is just being #Woke?
In 1972 NASA Knew That CO2 Would Not Lead to Global Warming
It is chemically impossible for CO2 to warm the earth to any degree prophesied by three decades of left-wing alarmism. So, is it a bigger crime that NASA admitted as much back in 1972?
If Taxation is Theft, The NH Dept of Environmental Services Wants You to be Their Next Victim
With all the nonsense in the world, it’s easy to lose track of who is trying to screw you. Helpful hint: elected Democrats, about everything, always. We also have state agencies filled with Concord Swamp Rats looking to screw us over as well.
New Research – You Don’t Have to Eat Less Red Meat (Usual Suspects Lose their Minds)
Recent research suggests that there is no broad evidence that connects eating less red meat to improved health outcomes. Everyone from health professionals to environmentalists are losing their minds.
BBC: Wind Power is Destroying the Planet
The BBC, an otherwise reliable cog in the globalist green energy agenda, is in a tizzy. It seems they’ve discovered a common material used in Green Energy infrastructure produces 23,500 times as much warming as CO2.
Celebrating 30 Years of Being Completely Wrong
The Global Climate Cult is desperate. We’ve failed to do enough to abet our prophesied doom. Some “experts” suggest we’ve got little more than a decade. The same sort that, in 1989 said, “entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels” by 2000. Name one?
Report: Electric Vehicles Producing More CO2 than Gas Powered Transportation
A new report on transportation and infrastructure has revealed an issue we’ve covered in the past. Electric vehicles (EV) can have a larger carbon footprint than those with traditional gasoline engines.
It’s Earth Day Generate Some CO2 and Save the Planet
While the climate goons are punishing you for emitting CO2 this and every earth day know this. Historically CO2 is very low globally. Most of it is trapped in the ground, sequestered in plants and animals. And our job is to set it free.
New Hampshire Democrats Retain Oppressive Carbon Tax Bill in Committee
Remember HB735, the New Hampshire Democrat’s carbon tax bill? It would suck hundreds of millions of dollars out of the state economy every year. Kill jobs. Hurt families. It’s not dead. It has been retained in committee. Which means it could come back to life without warning to kill our economy.
Discovery: Scientists Can Turn CO2 From the Atmosphere into Coal at Room Temperature
Put your land hogging species killing inefficient, green energy windmills and solar panels away. Oh, and the billions in pro-ups, handouts, and subsidies as well. Scientists in Australia have come up with an affordable, scalable process for turning CO2 from the air into solid carbon.
We May all Freeze to Death if We Keep Overheating the Atmosphere Like This
Hat tip to Tony Heller at Real Climate Science for the headline. It’s a direct quote. Because he is so right. He wrote it below the above image. The graph shows the relationship between the prophesied tipping point (too much CO2 in the atmosphere) and the number of record hot days. Those things we were told … Read more
Data Point – Climate change is mostly about virtue-signaling, not actually doing (unless you are the US)
About that “Paris Accord”? Reformatted, emphasis mine:
Nineteen nations “believe” in climate change. How are they backing up their statement of faith? China was praised for signing on to the Paris Climate Agreement and in Argentina reaffirmed its commitment to controlling greenhouse gas emissions. Last year, however, China increased those emissions by 1.7 percent. India, the fourth largest source for CO2, saw their emissions grow by 4.6 percent in 2017. Luckily for them, they too were praised for signing that “nonbinding communiqué.” Overall, the European Union raised their CO2 output by 1.5 percent. France, home of the Paris Agreement, is leading the diplomatic effort to save the planet. They increased their greenhouse gas emissions by 3.6 percent. . . .
If the nations paying lip service to climate change aren’t meeting their goals, imagine how poorly the oil-drilling, coal-mining Americans must be doing.
Data Point – CO2 emissions: who loves us, baby!
Certainly not the rest of the world that seemingly looks to government to solve their problems. Here in the US, we look to ourselves and the entrepreunerial and innovative frackers that have unleashed technology to spring God’s energy gift, natural gas, to us are to be thanked – they’ve made it possible to lead the … Read more
Guest post – Picking on Denmark
By Eddie
Forward: I have known “Eddie” for a couple of decades and when we consultants were at the same customer in implementing our company’s software, we used to have long discussions on culture and politics – and we always disagreed. That said, Eddie is a reasonable guy and when we talked last week and I mentioned the ‘Grok, his response was “I’ve always wanted to do something like that”. So, here’s his chance. Comment per usual – just be yourselves, folks!

Intro – I’m making my foray into the blog-sphere as an outlet to discuss issues of interest to me. I believe in the values of our founding fathers and their support of individual freedom. I believe that if Americans wish to have freedom for themselves they must be willing to give freedom to their neighbors. My favorite President is Thomas Jefferson.
I believe in getting to the truth of the matter which is rarely a simple thing. Facts and logic are my friends, lies are my enemies.
Oh, and I guess I need to say that I’m a misfit in the GraniteGrok world as I tend to the liberal side of debates. I hope not to upset anyone….. well, maybe a little.
Picking on Denmark
Steve Mac Donald’s post on Denmark’s arctic studies were a bit misleading and hey, I like Denmark so let’s not pick on them, ok?
The World is NOT Getting Warmer…Mr. President!
Nothing speaks to the cloistered nature of what passes for left wing intelligence like Global Warming. It is the perfect litmus test. All you need do is ask and if the respondent sounds like this, you can rest assured that most everything else they know come from the same poisoned well.
What we do know is the temperature around the globe is increasing faster than was predicted even 10 years ago.
This is President Obama, the smartest man in any room, repeating what he thinks he knows to be true. Unfortunately for the President and those similarly afflicted, not only has the earth not warmed faster than predicted even 10 years ago, it has not warmed at all.
Where’d All The CO2 Go?
This is curious. Just when the Global Warming Monkeys we’re complaining about how its totally hot, like…as if we were experiencing, like, Global warming, Ok? OMG! So why is it so damn hot if US CO2 emissions from energy are nearing their lowest since 1991…without cap and trade? Could it just be the weather? … Read more
[Updated] AP Proves CO2 based Global Warming Is A Hoax
AP has a story out today, which the green Yahoo’s at Yahoo! have put up front for all to see. The front page lede is ‘Record Rise in Global Warming.‘ But when you follow the link the article itself is titled:"Biggest jump ever seen in Global Warming Gases." Talk about deception. But then, the entire thing, like global warming, turns out to be misleading.
The article goes on at length about emerging Asian economies and the massive influx of CO2 into the atmosphere, but the only mention of actual warming is theoretical.
The article itself is so slanted it is past amusing and damn near criminal.
The problem, or course, is that CO2 emissions have been on an upward climb for decades while global temperature have failed to follow. They continue to go up and down without any measurable or predictable connection whatsoever. But that is just another inconvenient truth. So does AP dare to mention that? Of course not. They can barely contain themselves while pointing out that the UN’s IPCC has come under criticism but that most of its conclusions are considered main stream if not a bit too conservative."
Bwahahahahahahaha!
So much for the IPCC passing Green advocacy puff pieces off as science, leaving out contrary evidence, and overall being written by and for politicians with an specific green agenda. Then there is all that hiding the decline business that they are still trying to hide.
The story does get one thing right. Global emissions are still rising. The fact that temperatures have not been in any measurable way affected is only more proof that the "we are killing the planet" meme is just another truck load of nonsense. If we are killing it it is by keeping the third world in the third world where the socialist elites think they belong instead of letting them develop into efficient modern states. You need cheap power to do that. There is nothing cheap about the lefts energy alternatives.
[Update] Hot Air is reporting on the AP report as well, reminding us that despite the CO2 emissions warning and the failure of every man-made program to reduce them, the temperature has not risen for 11 years.
More on the jump.
Another Whack at RGGI
..what I find particularity perverse is that “Republican” Senators in New Hampshire could be tying themselves to the Massachusetts compromise as the tipping point at which staying in RGGI would then no longer make sense.
