By Paul Homewood h/t Ian Magness We came perilously close to rolling blackouts yesterday, something which I have not seen reported in the media –(correct me, I may be wrong!!). The ever alert Kathryn Porter has the full story here. This is her conclusion: The reference to the Viking I/C, by the way, is […]

It’s essential to separate the headlines from the science to understand these wildfires in their proper context. The current fires, like many before them, are largely driven by well-documented weather phenomena, historical land-use patterns, and human decisions.

By Andy May The featured image is by Josh, used with permission. There are 20 clearly false statements and three additional problematic statements in Tinus Pulles’ “Climate Denialism.” Most of them stem from disagreements on how to interpret existing data. However, some are due to his lack of understanding of what we wrote or, intentional […]

Recall that Germany’s green energy masterminds decided that it would be best to decommission the country’s fleet on nuclear power plants, and to produce weather-dependent power with wind farms operating in the north of country, and then supply it to southern Germany via power transmission lines. There’s on problem with the masterplan from the green masterminds: the wind doesn’t blow all the time and so shortages result and rationing becomes necessary!

By Paul Homewood I have now submitted a complaint to the BBC about the about their report, “A year of extreme weather that challenged billions”. Your report claims that “climate change has brought extreme weather from hurricanes to month-long droughts” It then goes on to list a handful of random weather events, but […]

Energy Expert Robert Bryce: “It is a colossal black eye for the wind industry, which has collected tens of billions of dollars in federal tax credits by claiming its landscape-blighting, bird-and-bat-killing, property-value-destroying turbines are an essential part of the effort to avert catastrophic climate change.”

By Paul Homewood h/t Philip Bratby Who would have thought! Global demand for food may rise by 60% mid-century. A central challenge is to meet this need using less land in a changing climate. Nearly all crop carbon is assimilated through Rubisco, which is catalytically slow, reactive with oxygen, and a […]

It is also often forgotten that wind turbines consume electricity when they are stationary or switched off. This is because all technical components (oil pumps, fans, control systems, etc.) must remain in operation even when they are still. Vestas specifies an electricity consumption of 55,000 kWh per year for a 4.2 MW turbine at standstill. During production times, the turbine supplies itself with electricity. But it is virtually idle 120 days a year.

By Paul Homewood David Rose had a good article on wind constraint payments the other day on UnHerd. You can read it here. He began with the example of the Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm, commissioned two years ago. It lies just off the Scottish coast at Montrose. Seagreen has capacity of 1.1 GW, but as […]

The Natural Choice: As a starter for ten percent of the Party Vote, “saving the planet” is a very respectable objective. Young voters, in particular, raised on the dire (if unheeded) warnings of climate scientists, and the irrefutable evidence of devastating weather events linked to global warming, vote Green. After all, what sort of person…
