Climate Hypocrisy

[GURPS]

The Guardian ran a terrifically encouraging story yesterday headlined, “Major US climate website likely to be shut down after almost all staff fired.” In short, NOAA’s ‘official’ Climate.gov propaganda website just got flattened.



“The entire content production staff at climate.gov (including me) were let go from our government contract on 31 May,” reported a former government contractor, who remained anonymous from ‘fear of retaliation.’ “We were told that our positions within the contract were being eliminated.”

The Climate.gov website was run by NOAA’s communication, education, and engagement division. It is called “the largest team in the federal government dedicated to climate communication, education, and engagement.” In other words, climate change psyops.

The site’s former director (now fired) smells a rat. She suspects a “sinister possibility” that the Administration may co-opt climate.gov, to publish its own anti-science content. Rebecca Lindsey said the administration could now “provide its own content team, leveraging our audience, our brand, our millions of people that we reach on social media every month. That’s the worst-case scenario.”

Or it’s the best-case scenario, Rebecca. It depends on how you look at it. I found it particularly amusing that Rebecca claimed it as “our” brand, “our” audience, and “our” readers. Who is “us”?

Welp, I probably don’t even need to tell you, but yet another “misinformation” conspiracy theory appears to be emerging into the fact-checkers “allowed” category. Yesterday, the UK Times ran a story breathlessly headlined, “Enemies could weaponise new weather technologies against UK.” I wonder how they can tell through the hazy smog of gaslighting?



Weather technologies? Wait. You mean … chemtrails? If you feel puzzled, because you’ve been assured many times by compliant corporate media that people who believe in weather manipulation are seditious kooks and social media trolls, think again.

“Ministers,” the Times explained, “are examining how technologies designed to combat global warming could be weaponised by hostile foreign powers.” Hahahaha! It’s two admissions in one! Let me translate: atmospheric global warming technologies are weather weapons.

They are fretting about so-called “solar radiation modification” (SRM), which is alleged to help “cool the earth” by “artificially” reflecting sunlight away from the Earth’s surface. The Simpsons tried to warn them back in 1995:



Ministers needn’t search very far for a suspect. The UK Independent fingered a potential culprit in April of this year:



What will those kooky scientists come up with next?

Late in the story, we discover that Aria, the British government’s own advanced research and invention agency (think DARPA), is pumping £57 million into funding for 21 projects, which include outdoor field trials into “brightening clouds” to reflect sunshine.

Alas, the Brits are not worrying about their own weather-weapons tests. “The government,” the Times soberly informed its readers, “is working to understand the risks associated with an independent or third-party actors carrying out so-called solar geoengineering.” Paging Bill Gates.

Lest you be tempted to think that they are talking about something besides chemtrails, think again. Oh, they don’t want to say it*,* of course, but there it was anyway, like your best frenemy popping up at a high school house party you were sure they didn’t know about:



The story’s expert, Dan Marks, an “energy security” researcher at the Royal Institute, drolly observed (cue British accent), “Almost every country is vulnerable to some type of extreme weather, so if you can make that weather better with the technology, you can likely make it worse by deploying the technology at the opposite time.” Now they tell us.



But beyond vague references to “independent actors,” the story never mentioned Gates at all, or any other deep-state-owned billionaire. The only possibilities referenced in the story were Elon Musk and the UK’s evergreen enemy: Russia. Putin!

It’s chemtrails, dummies! Mr. Marks wondered, “What if an Elon Musk or an activist group decided to do it, and decided to do it in the middle of the ocean?” As a highly informed C&C reader, you already know about the thousands of private aerosol testers that can be found in the FAA’s registration database— just in the U.S.

You aren’t the only Faraday-cage-capped lunatics concerned about chemtrails. “More than 560 academics,” the Times reported, “have signed an open letter calling for an international non-use agreement on solar geoengineering.” Read it for yourself.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for anyone to admit they’ve been lying about chemtrails for decades, and now they can’t hide it anymore. I really cannot understand how these media people can live with themselves. Which is worse? The chemtrail sprayers or the gaslighting media?

Green Energy: Terrible For the Environment​

Green energy is a disaster in several ways: it is inherently unreliable and ridiculously expensive. Some people naively assume, however, that wind and solar energy make up for these liabilities by being good for the environment. They couldn’t be more wrong.

The basic problem with wind turbines and solar panels (plus hypothetical batteries) is that they are extremely low-intensity. Do they work? Intermittently, yes. But compared with conventional energy sources, they produce a very small amount of energy on a per-unit of input basis. Thus, they require both enormous amounts of land and vast quantities of raw materials.

Thus, to supply America’s electricity with wind turbines would require a land area twice the size of California. But that isn’t all. Because they are so low-intensity, wind, solar and batteries require enormous amounts of raw materials. To actually transition to a “green” economy (which will never happen) would require the greatest mining, manufacturing, transportation and construction effort since the Industrial Revolution. And mining, manufacturing, transportation and construction all have significant environmental impacts.

Earlier today, American Experiment published a new report titled “Shattered Green Dreams,” by Sarah Montalbano. It contains all the facts you need to know about the baleful environmental effects of green energy. You can read it here.

Too little wind, solar​

Now the truth can be told about that massive electrical grid failure in the Iberian peninsula back in April. From SkyNews,

The massive power cut that plunged huge swathes of Spain and Portugal into chaos earlier this year was caused by a miscalculation, the Spanish government has said.

,”Miscalculation.” SkyNews reports,

There was discussion about whether a cyberattack was to blame, but today Spain’s energy minister said the issue was a miscalculation by the Spanish power grid operator REE. Sara Aagesen said REE did not have enough thermal power stations switched on during peak hours of April 28 when the surge caused a chain reaction leading to the power outage.

 

[GURPS]

Get Used to Blackouts​

A reliance on net zero energy left Spain and Portugal vulnerable to a mass blackout engulfing the region. In what is believed to be Europe’s largest power cut, tens of millions of people were left without electricity, while flights were grounded, trains halted and whole cities left without power, internet access or other vital services. (1)

The key culprit for the blackout appears to be green energy. Green energy, unlike gas and coal, does not provide synchronous inertia that stabilizes the frequency in the network. (2)

A random oscillation of some sort, which could have easily been handled in a world of fossil fuel power plants, became a huge problem when wind and solar generators could not respond to it appropriately. And so, people were stuck for hours in elevators or subway trains; traffic lights went dark, banking and cell phone networks stopped working and so forth.

So, was this really a big deal? The electricity system in Europe and many US states is in the hands of crazed fanatics who have no idea what they are doing. The possibility is that there are many far worse blackouts to come until the idiotic net zero thing is abandoned. (3)

The episode underscores how advanced economies also cannot afford to be complacent about their electricity resilience.

Here are some tentative conclusions Roger Pielke Jr. draws:

• Solar and wind, if at high levels of production, create grid instabilities and risks.
• The evolution of energy systems has moved forward without sufficient attention to risks and vulnerabilities resulting from system changes.
• Nuclear power not only is carbon free, but it contributes significantly to grid reliability.
• System inertia was a benefit of large, baseload power generation that has been underappreciated. No longer. (4)

Three years left to limit warming to 1.5C, leading scientists warn​

The Earth could be doomed to breach the symbolic 1.5C warming limit in as little as three years at current levels of carbon dioxide emissions.

That's the stark warning from more than 60 of the world's leading climate scientists in the most up-to-date assessment of the state of global warming.

Nearly 200 countries agreed to try to limit global temperature rises to 1.5C above levels of the late 1800s in a landmark agreement in 2015, with the aim of avoiding some of the worst impacts of climate change.

But countries have continued to burn record amounts of coal, oil and gas and chop down carbon-rich forests - leaving that international goal in peril.

Democrats are facing a reckoning, and the nation is slowly healing. In a story ripe with good news for Californians, if not everyone, the Times ran another article this morning with the unlikely headline, “California Rolls Back Its Landmark Environmental Law.”



In 1970, then-governor Ronald Reagan passed a bill requiring government construction projects to undergo painfully extensive environmental review. He probably thought it would help save money and slow the growth of state government while pacifying tree-huggers and their pet snails. But two years later, a California court expanded the law’s scope to include all construction in the state, and then it became painfully expensive and time-consuming for anyone to build anything.

Unintended consequences.

Yesterday, in a move that would’ve been political heresy just five years ago, California Democrats —led by oleaginous presidential hopeful Gavin Newsom— torched a golden calf of the environmental left: the California Environmental Quality Act. Often hailed as the gold standard of environmental protection, CEQA has morphed over the decades into a NIMBY cudgel— wielded by everyone from environmentalists to unions to cranky neighbors to stop everything from housing projects to nature paths.

Now, in a stunning display of policy realism (or electoral panic), the Golden State’s lawmakers gutted core elements of CEQA in the name of housing and homelessness. It’s a tectonic shift: the party of regulation is de facto admitting that, as Reagan famously said, sometimes regulation is the problem.

Whether this is a course correction or just a well-dressed concession of failure remains to be seen— but the political implications are national.

It seemed as if the Times even hopes it will go national. “California’s moves,” the Times optimistically suggested, “could inspire other Democratic-led states to weaken their environmental regulations to address their housing shortages. Massachusetts, New York, Minnesota and several other left-leaning states have laws much like CEQA.”

Take a moment to consider the implications: the Nation’s most solid-blue, one-party Democrat stronghold state just embraced deregulation. And not just on the margins, but striking at the beating heart of one of its most smugly self-satisfied green statutes.

And they did it by rolling the legislative bulldozer right over the crushed political bodies of their environmental allies.



It’s the first flicker of new life in the post-election Democrat playbook. They might be finally settling down and adjusting to a new reality. Astonishingly, the Times reported the CEQA story with nuance, presenting both sides of the argument (for once), and without putting the editorial thumb on the scale with sneering, negative linguistics. There was no evident strong criticism, just sober, balanced journalism.

If the Times considered this rollback as a betrayal if liberal virtues, they’d have said so. Instead, they covered it like a regrettable but understandable evolution. Pivoting.

When The New York Times, the unofficial house organ of elite progressive opinion and liberals’ permission structure gatekeeper, doesn’t unload on California Democrats for gutting their most iconic environmental law, that’s not just silence. It’s a signal. It suggests that the progressive editorial establishment senses the political tides have washed out to sea, and even they know this is a necessary recalibration.

Apparently, deregulation, dressed up in progressive virtues like “equity” and “affordable housing,” is no longer a dirty word. Who thought we’d see the day?



Another one. The New York Post ran a troubling story last week, headlined “Hiking influencer Hannah Moody’s cause of death revealed after being found dead on Arizona trail.” I’ll spoil the mystery: it was climate change.




By all accounts, Hannah, 31, was a lovely girl with a popular Instagram feed about her hiking adventures. Her videos were uplifting and often quoted scripture. She was found dead about a third of a mile from the park entrance, with no sign of foul play. After a puzzling delay, the coroner concluded the experienced hiker died suddenly from heat exposure.

Apart from expressions of grief and sympathy, a vein of incredulity ran through the comments:




Indeed. Neither the coroner nor any of the many news reports suggested even a hint of curiosity over the healthy young lady’s incomprehensible death and the banal explanation.

To be clear: there is no evidence of her jab status. The officials didn’t say. They probably didn’t even ask. But I’m asking.

Whenever healthy young people die suddenly and unexpectedly in everyday circumstances where normal people don’t die, the first question they should ask is: did she get the jabs?

They’re not going to get away with it, not if I can help it. I will never, ever, stop until The Reckoning becomes a distant memory. Let me know if you’re with me. Godspeed, Hannah.

In a post on X, Doricko shared, “The last seeding mission prior to the July 4th event was during the early afternoon of July 2nd, when a brief cloud seeding mission was flown over the eastern portions of south-central Texas, and two clouds were seeded.”

He added, “The clouds that were seeded on July 2nd dissipated over 24 hours prior to the developing storm complex that would produce the flooding rainfall.”

'I can't drink the water' - life next to a US data centre​

Just 400 yards (366m) from her front porch in Mansfield, Georgia, sits a large, windowless building filled with servers, cables, and blinking lights.
It's a data centre - one of many popping up across small-town America, and around the globe, to power everything from online banking to artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT.

"I can't live in my home with half of my home functioning and no water," Ms Morris says. "I can't drink the water."

She believes the construction of the centre, which is owned by Meta (the parent company of Facebook), disrupted her private well, causing an excessive build-up of sediment. Ms Morris now hauls water in buckets to flush her toilet.

She says she had to fix the plumbing in her kitchen to restore water pressure. But the water that comes of the tap still has residue in it.
"I'm afraid to drink the water, but I still cook with it, and brush my teeth with it," says Morris. "Am I worried about it? Yes."

Meta, however, says the two aren't connected.

In a statement to the BBC, Meta said that "being a good neighbour is a priority".

The company commissioned an independent groundwater study to investigate Morris's concerns. According to the report, its data centre operation did "not adversely affect groundwater conditions in the area".

While Meta disputes that it has caused the problems with Ms Morris' water, there's no doubt, in her estimation, that the company has worn out its welcome as her neighbour.

"This was my perfect spot," she says. "But it isn't anymore."

Ok.
Gonna file this under 'holy carp'.

Yes, clouds can and are being seeded.
Yes, I'm pretty sure there are govt agencies working on a weather control device.
No, I don't believe it's current;y possible.

And then there's this:
Driving on I-40 the past few days. Yesterday near Knoxville, there was a torrential downpour, couldn't see anything. Turned on the wipers and sprayed window wash. All of a sudden I get a smell. At first thought it was the washer fluid, but it didn't smell like alcohol, like the Rain-X I use, more like a cleaner. Dismissed it. About 100 miles down the road, another downburst. Again, I smell cleaning fluid, but I hadn't used the wiper washer... Hmmm..... Smelled just like commercial cleaning fluid. Today, I was just about to pass thru Memphis, hundreds of miles away, and another heavy rain. Again, it smelled just like commercial cleaning fluid. Strong smell, lasted until I was clear of the wet road.

WTF. Since when does rain smell like anything but water??

Just spitballing, don't really know what it could have been, but it being the result of chemtrails or some substance put in the atmosphere would be way down my list of causes.

Fact Checking The Climate Claims​

The climate alarmists regularly seize on weather events they believe will help them exploit their narrative. Naturally, they ignore contradictory information. So we see it as our duty to fill in the gaps from time to time. Following are a few examples that show why the global warming story is less scientific theory than conjecture in the service of a political agenda.

• Let’s begin in the West Arctic, where the Northwest Passage is experiencing its third-highest level of sea ice extent in the last two decades. In 2009, Al Gore said, with his usual galling listen-to-me certainty, the Arctic polar ice cap could be gone during summer within five to seven years.
• There has been “marked cooling since the early 2010s … which is likely linked to a documented slowdown in Greenland’s warming and ice loss,” say a pair of South Korean researchers.
• Efforts to attribute the deadly Texas flood, in which the Guadalupe River rose by 37.5 feet, to human carbon dioxide emissions have been debunked (as has every other attempt to tie man’s CO2 to harsh weather). Our friend Steve Milloy of JunkScience.com points out that “much worse flooding had occurred more than a century earlier in July when the Guadalupe River had risen by a whopping 42.3 feet.”
• Summer heat is always blamed on man’s fossil fuel use. This year, more than 160 million people in the Midwest, the South, and on the East Coast endured temperatures around the 100-degree mark. But nothing has happened to indicate that man is responsible. Have a look at the data.
• Last month, H. Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute noted that polar ice has refused to follow the climate crisis narrative. “Having examined the data and history, I knew Antarctica has not been following the climate crisis script since the alarm was first raised with James Hansen’s theatrically staged 1988 congressional testimony in which he claimed the Earth was dangerously warming due to human activity.”
• Last month, a Tampa, Fla., meteorologist blamed “climate change,” and we don’t assume he’s talking about natural variations that have always existed, for 90-degree days having doubled in the city. He was fact-checked by the Committee For a Constructive Tomorrow: “Tampa does not represent the rest of Florida. The average number of days reaching 95°F (35°C) or higher in Florida has not increased since 1895,” according to federal data. “Tampa’s temperature data has been contaminated with urban heat island effects, which have led to an artificial rise in the number of extremely hot days.”
• The New York Times wants readers to believe that the June Air India crash that killed 241 is a curtain-raiser for future air crashes caused by climate change. Milloy had the best response: “No other plane crashed because of global warming. Just that one.”

If the climate tale were undeniably true, the activists in and out of the media would not have to exaggerate, disinform, and make connections that don’t exist. The fact that they feel they have to provides a clear insight into their duplicitous nature.

Should have stuck with the financial side and talking about actual causes. Comparing todays temperatures to 480 million years ago is a non-start, since people didn't exist 480 million years ago. Might as well say "well, 13.8billion years ago the atoms that make up the earth were experiencing temperatures of several trillion degrees. The entire existence of the universe has been experiencing a downward trend since that time."
