Installing air conditioning in Switzerland is often subject to rules set at the cantonal level. Geneva is the strictest canton. To qualify, a home owner must prove they have a legitimate need, for example, by producing a medical certificate, and install systems that capture some of the heat emissions and condensation produced. Other cantons require […]

If NGOs or collection campaigns don’t help out, the climate-blocking criminal could end up in prison as a substitute. How many years would that amount to?

There’s something altogether pathetic about those that push wind and solar as the path to an energy Utopia. A place where unicorns, fairies and pixies are in charge and numbers get treated with contempt. Numbers such as those collected by Frances Menton and Robert Bryce and the pieces below. Numbers that demonstrate that, after almost […]

The threat of recurrent blackouts is rising, and we are getting closer than ever to having electricity when it happens to be available, instead of when we need it.

By Paul Homewood h/t Philip Bratby Is there no limit that this moron will go to wreck this country? Giant wind turbines taller than London’s Gherkin building are to be built across Britain’s countryside after Ed Miliband rejected calls to impose a height limit. The Energy Secretary’s decision means turbines as high as 850ft can […]

We’ll be eight degrees hotter in ten, not ten but 30 or 40 years and basically none of the crops will grow. Most of the people will have died and the rest of us will be cannibals.

Electric Vehicles running on wind and solar power captured and stored in lithium-ion batteries is all part of the grand ‘transition’, or so we’re told. Except when those batteries self-immolate, burn for days and spew out a deadly toxic plume that threatens anything but breaths for miles around. Not that the pyrotechnic mayhem attracts much […]

Nuclear works: all day, every day, whatever the weather, no need for batteries and no need for back up. Whereas, wind and solar … well, you know the rest. Incapable of delivering power on demand, the only ‘benefit’ claimed by the wind and sun cult is that wind and solar power purportedly eliminate carbon dioxide […]

According to Wikipedia: ‘The 100,000-year problem refers to the lack of an obvious explanation for the periodicity of ice ages at roughly 100,000 years for the past million years, but not before, when the dominant periodicity corresponded to 41,000 years. The unexplained transition between the two periodicity regimes is known as the Mid-Pleistocene Transition, dated […]
