By Paul Homewood We have just escaped the Climate and Nature Bill by the skin of the teeth, but it seems the Germans have not been so lucky. Benny Peiser sent me an essay (translated) by Robert von Loewenstern, which tells about a new law, the “Energy Efficiency Act”, which was passed in 2023. […]

“In recent years, burdensome and ideologically motivated regulations have impeded the development of these resources, limited the generation of reliable and affordable electricity, reduced job creation, and inflicted high energy costs upon our citizens,” Trump stated in the executive order. “These high energy costs devastate American consumers by driving up the cost of transportation, heating, utilities, farming, and manufacturing, while weakening our national security.”

The American version of the Green New Deal included some subsidies for inefficient wind and solar, but it was largely just a marketing gimmick for a big expansion in the burden of government (everything from Medicare for All to student loan bailouts). The European version, by contrast, has been more focused on making energy more […]

Because the current state-of-the-art general circulation models (GCMs) cannot simulate the trends and variances in global precipitation over the last 84 years (1940-2023), their usefulness should be reconsidered. Hydrological processes – ocean circulation, water vapor, clouds – are key components of climate, easily overshadowing the impact of anthropogenic CO2 emissions by a factor of 2,100…

President Trump’s executive order for the US to exit the Paris agreement is a huge deal, not least in saving the nation hundreds of millions of dollars which would have been spent on climate boondoggles such as President Biden’s euphemistically termed Inflation Reduction Act and vast transfers in climate funds pledged to developing countries. Let not the naysayers say otherwise.
