Climate Change Hoax

Thirteen states from Vermont to Hawaii have written a hard deadline into law: 100 percent carbon-free (CO2-free) or “clean” electricity, most by 2040 or 2045. Lawmakers sold these mandates as a bargain: cheaper power alongside cleaner air. Voters in those states are struggling with ever-increasing electricity bills increasing faster than non-mandate states.

The metric politicians lean on to make that case is the “levelized cost of energy” (LCOE), which ranks wind and solar as the cheapest sources of generation on the grid.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration itself cautions that the ranking is misleading because LCOE reflects the cost to build and run a single generator.

It says nothing about whether that generator can deliver power at 6 p.m. on a windless February evening, exactly when a grid needs it most.

Energy analysts, Isaac Orr and Mitch Rolling, answer the question EIA’s own number dodges. Their “Always On Levelized Cost of Energy” (AOLOC) model adds back everything a bare LCOE figure leaves out: backup generation, transmission, overbuilt capacity and the power curtailed to keep intermittent resources reliable.

Now I’m 43, I’m going to guess most of my elementary school teachers are either retired or dead, and Florida is not underwater. The planet has not died, and every single prediction from the so-called climate crowd has failed to come true. Rather than admitting what we all know — that it’s all ideological — the climate scientists simply said the communist climate change “solutions” worked.

For decades, climate scientists said climate change was apocalyptic. It never was, as new UN scenarios prove. Scientists knew this and pushed a falsified scenario anyway. Now exposed, the scientists are falsely claiming that it was their policies that averted catastrophe. pic.twitter.com/og9t7CLPoz

In some ways, I admire the absolute audacity of these people. They got everything wrong, tried to force “green” policies down our throats to lower our standard of living and push communism, and then took credit for the fact none of their doom-and-gloom predictions came true.

Climate policies saved the world from catastrophic warming, say leading climate scientists. On September 1, a consortium that produces analyses for the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released new scenarios. They say the new worst-case scenario is just 3.3…

There’s a great, laughable irony about a group that claims to want to save the planet, and is willing to resort to thuggery when anyone questions their methods. But the climate-panic group Extinction Rebellion (ER) is one such group. At a recent meeting in Hampton, United Kingdom, an event called “Climate Reality – What’s causing climate change and what can we do about it,” one attendee stood up and questioned not the ER message, but their methods.

What happened then? They silenced him, threw him out, and beat him up.

After the usual cycle of ‘doom, death’ and despair’ followed by the standard ‘if we just spend a lot of money on renewable energy, we’ll save the planet’ narrative the floor was opened for questions.

A few questions in, a gentleman stood up and said that while he agreed with the urgency of the message, the tactics of Extinction Rebellion alienate people rather than persuading them. The panel began interrupting him, urging him to “ask his question or stop” in a rather patronising tone. He calmly continued, explaining how such tactics damage public support. This clearly irritated one of the speakers, a schoolteacher-turned-activist who had moments earlier described how “exciting and fun” activism could be.

According to Newsom, the climate is “climate-ing.” You know, dryness is dry and hotter is hot—a concept that shouldn’t be blamed on invisible, evil forces. But, of course, Newsom doesn’t care about this little thing called “facts,” which is why he went on to blame climate change for his state’s failures.

And don’t take their failures lightly. Although the blaze was originally started by arson, according to officials, there are still reports that firefighters were ordered not to monitor the fire closely—despite knowing that winds were reaching 100 mph.

The view of Earth from space is famously familiar—bright blue ocean, swirling gyres of white clouds, touches of terrestrial green. The luminosity of this image is the result of the sun’s rays shining on the planet, where they’re either reflected or absorbed by materials on Earth’s surface and in our atmosphere. But a new study that examined Earth’s overall brightness reveals that something eerie is happening to that familiar picture.

Scientists measure the planet’s brightness by factoring in how much light reaches earth and how much is reflected back out to space (as measured by orbiting satellites). This reflectivity is known as albedo, and Earth’s overall albedo has been decreasing for decades. But according to a new study published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, that change isn’t uniform: the Northern Hemisphere is getting even darker than its southern counterpart. This loss of brightness could result in increased warming in the Northern Hemisphere, throwing Earth’s weather systems out of balance.

The United Nations (UN) is facing backlash after reports confirmed that around 100,000 trees were cut down in the Amazon rainforest to build new roads and infrastructure for its upcoming COP30 “climate change” summit.

The conference is set to take place in the Brazilian city of Belém in November.

It will bring an estimated 70,000 delegates and activists to the region to discuss “saving the planet” and “protecting biodiversity.”
