EPA “climate expert” John C. Beale was sentenced to 32 months in federal prison plus $1.3 million in restitution today following a guilty plea. He said his motivation was "greed."
President Obama pledged that under his administration electricity prices would necessarily skyrocket -- presumably so that wind and solar could become more acceptable financially as alternatives. The problem, notes Professor Larry Bell, is that renewable energy does not work that well with the existing power grid system in the U.S. To accommodate increasing wind and solar, Germany will have to spend up to $96 billion in transmission and distribution system upgrades in the next decade. Imagine what the cost would be for the U.S., with is massively larger population and acreage.
Existing wind turbine technology may provide intermittent electric power that, with huge subsidies, can be "competitive" in price with coal and oil - but the turbines chop up bald and golden eagles and other endangered bird species like Cuisinarts. Solar arrays can confuse migratory water birds, including the brown pelican, into thinking they are flying into a water body but instead have their feathers fried or their heads damaged. Meanwhile, Interior Secretary Sally Jewell has just authorized a 30-year take permit to protect wind farms from liability under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. In a world where the President "pardons" the Thanksgiving turkey (though we doubt he eats tofurkey!), this is borderline schizophrenia.
'Every high school kid has never experienced global warming in their lifetime. Every elementary school kid has only experienced slight global cooling in their lifetime. Without warming, the warmists switch over to global 'weirding.'
Sure, the Earth has been warming for 200 years since the end of the little ice age. On the other hand, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere must not be a major factor, given that the latest warmng tren lasted from about 19745 through 1998, while the small amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has continued to rise little by litt.e
Carbon dioxide has received a lot of flak for its supposed link to global warming. But Dr. Craig Idso of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide believes CO2 actually provides the planet with more benefits than costs.
Morano to Brune on CNN: "He’s mentioning funding by the way, which I think is funny. The Sierra Club took $26 million from natural gas and Michael has the audacity to try to imply that skeptics are fossil-fuel funded."
The hottest temperature ever recorded was over a century ago in Death Valley, CA. The coldest ever was 2010 in Antarctica. The second coldest was this July.
If you travel to the Everglade National Park in Florida, beware of vandals ready to rip door seals and windshield wipers off your car when you’re not looking. What kind of vandals would do such a thing? How about flying vultures!
Energy from wind power may be all the rage, but recent reports from Britain say wind power may not be such a breezy answer after all.
"Let freedom reign. The sun never set on so glorious a human achievement."
Climate Depot's Marc Morano takes on "the climate change con" at CFACT's all day climate conference at Warsaw's Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University, November 21, 2013.
The crashing end to the global warmiing debate came recently, with the admission by the UN IPCC that there is a glaring disconnect between their climate model projections and observed real-world trends: Everyone now agrees (or admits) that the Earth has not been warming for the past 16 years. And yet, the same IPCC still makes outrageous claims (read bald-faced lies!) in its Fifth Assessment Report that every major natural weather event is extremely massive because of global warming.
Climate alarmists may be likened unto those who yell "fire" in a crowded theatre when there is no fire at all. Robert Endlich herein traces the history of sea level change from the Wisconsin Ice Age of 18,000 years ago through to Roman and medieval times and to the modern era. He remarks that sea level is unlikely to be affected in response to tax policies that make energy more expensive and economies less roi
We all know the President lied (or, more favorably, "misspoke") when he said, "If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period." We know the Administration totally fabricated the story that a silly YouTube video was the reason four Americans died in BenGhazi. So why should we be surprised as real-world data and the uncovering of official mischief demonstrate that the "global warming" (or "climate change") hysteria was built on lies and that the real intent was to create a cause celebre for redistributing the world's wealth?
