Mar 6, 2024 ~ John Stossel, 'The Renewable Scam' California is showing how unfeasible this is. Due to the mandates, they pay 3X for electricty as the rest of the country and have more outages. It make housing far more expensive too. And harms the environment rather than helping it. "Just to produce one turbine, we have to extract 900 tons of steel, 2,500 tons of concrete, and 45 tons of non-renewable plastic. Then we've got to transport that and burn fuel, getting it all carried across the world. None of these things that go into a turbine are renewable." These huge turbines create huge landfills of non-recyclable waste. [Anti-Science, Climate Change, Energy]
Mar 6, 2024 ~ 'Polar bears and coral reefs are doing just fine' The #FakeNews alarmism about both have been totally wrong. They said polar bears were going extinct and their population is 3X. They said it would take 100 years for the Coral Castles Reef to recover from the 1988 El Nino but it was thriving just a few years later. The Great Barrier Reef is doing fine as well despite the #FakeNews about it. [Climate Change, Fake News]
Mar 25, 2024 ~ 'Climate The Movie' Informative and infuriating at the same time. Yes, the so called climate 'emergency' or 'chaos' or whatever they're calling it today is a scam. But its not going away because its HUGE business for more and more people. [Climate Change]
Mar 25, 2024 ~ 'Electric Vehicles: The EPA’s Fast Track to Fiasco' "All the world’s mines, both currently operating and planned, can supply only a small fraction of the 700% to 4,000% increase in various minerals that will be needed to meet the wildly ambitious EV goals. The IEA [International Energy Agency] estimates that we’ll need hundreds of new mega-mines to feed factories across the “transition” landscape, and that it takes 10 to 16 years to find, plan, and open a new mine." "Mining battery ingredients causes environmental damage. EV batteries weigh about 1,000 pounds and can reach 2,000 pounds. About 100,000 pounds of ore are needed to get the lithium, cobalt, nickel, graphite, and copper to make the batteries function. To get the 100,000 pounds of ore, it’s necessary to move 500,000 pounds of earth. Cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is partly performed by children who are sent into the mines to retrieve the minerals…" "50 to 90% of the critical materials required to make EVs are now produced in China." "Consider just copper, the pillar of electrification. EVs use 300% to 400% more copper than conventional cars. Industry data show that the world will need twice as much copper as it will be producing well before aspirational EV goals are reached. Unsurprisingly, one major mining CEO observed that the coming chasm between demand and supply could trigger a ten-fold copper price hike. That alone would add about $15,000 to the cost of building an EV." "The CO2 emissions arising from building an EV before it gets driven revolve around a simple fact: a typical EV battery weighs about 1,000 pounds. That half-ton battery is made from a wide range of minerals, including copper, nickel, aluminum, graphite, and lithium. Accessing those minerals requires digging up and processing some 250 tons of earth per vehicle. All that mining, processing, and refining uses hydrocarbons and emits CO2." [Climate Change, Energy]
Mar 26, 2024 ~ Will Tanner, "In yet another massive L for 'green' energy boondoggles, a massive swathe of solar panels in Damon, Texas were taken out by a hail storm And not only were the expensive panels rendered useless by the weather, but now they're leaking a toxic compound, cadmium telluride, into the water So not only do Texans get intermittent energy instead of constant energy, not only do they waste thousands of acres of land with solar farms, but now the pointless panels are leaking into the groundwater Nuclear energy and natural gas are the answer. They're cheap, clean, reliable, and won't be shattered by a bit of hail. The other "green" energy is an expensive boondoggle that destroys the natural environment." [Climate Change, Energy]
Apr 6, 2024 ~ If you are on the fence about whether climate change alarmism is a religion or not, consider that people are now blaming earthquakes on climate change. (Its bad enough that EVERY storm is blamed on it even though the frequency and magnitude of those storms are the same as they have ever been.) Senate candidate Christina Khalil said "The climate crisis is real" after an earthquake hit NJ, which is on a fault line. [Anti-Science, Climate Change]
Apr 6, 2024 ~ Just like the left and the #FakeNews has to find and hammer new fake examples of 'racism' every day, they also have to find and hammer new fake examples of climate change every day. The Independent headline: 'How climate change is hitting vulnerable Indonesian trans sex workers' [Climate Change, Fake News]
