Grumpy Greta has been peddling her apocalyptic Muppet act in the halls of the western world. But as one historian notes, 60% of all emissions since her birth came out of China. It is by far the world’s biggest polluter, followed by India. If the planet is at a tipping point, she needs to talk to them.
CO2
If CO2 Causes Fires in Australia Why Were There More Fires In 1939?
It’s fun to play trivial pursuit with our liberal friends. They don’t like the questions or the answers, so they call you names and deflect. And unlike the movie Wargames, when it comes to Libs, the only way to win is to keep playing. Take fires, for example.
NH “Business Mag” Pimps Left-Wing Heat Wave Propaganda in NH (to sell a regional gas tax scheme)
New Hampshire Business Review (NHBR) likes to peddle self-interest stories by climate fraudsters. Dan Weeks used their pages to sell Fear that would benefit his solar business. And now we have Roger Stephenson from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) doing something similar.
MIT Announces Scalable, Affordable, Carbon Sequestration Process (The Second Such Discovery This Year!)
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?
GrokTALK! April 12th, 2014 – Some Facts About Carbon Dioxide and Planet Earth
Leighton Steward, the head of Plants Need CO2.org, helps us understand the benefits of atmospheric carbon dioxide. We talk about the greening of the earth and the benefits of CO2. We also visit the false claims about carbon dioxide, the redistributive nature of the IPCC, and the problem of relying on data from unvalidated computer … Read more
