Jay Powell’s Stockholm speech lays it out with Gettysburg address clarity and brevity. Relative to usual central-bankerese it’s soaring rhetoric too. …Decisions about policies to directly address climate change should be made by the elected branches of government and thus reflect the public’s will as expressed through elections…. without explicit congressional legislation, it would be inappropriate…
Cheers for Powell

By Paul Homewood h/t Ian Magness More problems in Eco-Land: £6.5 million for 25 lorries works out at £260,000 a piece, which sounds extraordinarily expensive for what appears to nothing bigger than a Transit truck. I have no idea what a proper truck would cost, maybe somebody else does.

Ever Reliable: Nuclear & Coal-Fired Power Provide Germany’s Only Energy Salvation

Seems like only yesterday that Germany’s grand wind and solar transition was the talk of the town. Dubbed the “Energiewende”, it was meant to spell an inevitable end to nuclear and coal-fired power, which would soon be replaced by nothing other than forests of wind turbines and seas of solar panels. Well, that was what […]

The Man who would be King
09 Jan 2023 Leave a comment
On January 8th 1935, two baby boys were born in Tupelo, Mississippi, to Vernon Elvis and Gladys Love, Jesse Garon Presley and 35 minutes later Elvis Aaron Presley. Jesse Garon was a stillborn, Elvis would live to become the Man who would be King.
Elvis’ first name comes from his father, Vernon Elvis Presley. However, the origins of Vernon’s middle name remain unclear to this day. One theory is that the name was an homage to a 6th-century Irish saint.
Elvis’ first big hit, “Heartbreak Hotel,” was inspired by a newspaper article about a man who killed himself by jumping from a hotel window in Florida. His suicide note read, “I walk a lonely street.”
On his 11th birthday, Elvis was really hoping for a new bike (some say a rifle), but much to his disappointment, was given a guitar instead.
Elvis Presley met Richard Nixon on December 21, 1970…

Expert discusses La Niña and El Niño cycles effects on Australia
08 Jan 2023 Leave a comment
The last El Niño was 6-7 years ago, but elapsed time can’t on its own be a guarantee of one this year. Neutral ENSO conditions are another option. As usual an assertion about warming from greenhouse gases is thrown in, with no evidence to back it up.
– – –
Climate models indicate La Niña is on the way out, with El Niño conditions expected later this year, claims Phys.org.
CSIRO Climate Scientist Dr. Wenju Cai explains what this means for Australia’s weather and how changing conditions will affect the country.
Is La Niña really on the way out? What do the climate models tell us?
We are in the mature season of the current three-consecutive La Niña years. During the three years, heat has been stored in the equatorial Pacific Ocean.

Environment Humor
08 Jan 2023 Leave a comment
I normally share humor about collectivism, gun control, politicians, and libertarians, but let’s augment my sparse collection of environment humor.
We’ll start with a video clip from the United Kingdom.
What makes the video amusing (and sad) is that it captures how politicians largely see global warming as an excuse to do things they have always wanted to do – i.e., grab more power and control.
Next, we have two examples of Greta humor, starting with this gas cap.
And this peek into the future.
Our fourth item shows how insufficient commitment to the environment can lead to personal loss.
As usual, I’ve saved the best for last.
Professor Glenn Reynolds (aka, Instapundit) famously has remarked that “I’ll believe it’s a crisis when the people who keep telling me it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.”
But as we repeatedly see, the people…
