Australia’s Energy Crisis: Subsidised Wind & Solar Obsession Sending Power Prices Into Orbit
15 Dec 2019 1 Comment
Add heavily subsidised and chaotically intermittent wind and solar to your grid and rocketing prices are guaranteed. The Danes know it, the Germans know it and South Australians became the butt of international jokes, because of it.
The relationship couldn’t be clearer: see above the pertinent little graphic from Dr Michael Crawford, which says it all, really.
For, try as they might, Australia’s renewable energy rent seekers are stuck with the fact that despite sunshine and wind being ‘free’, subsidised wind and solar power, anything but.
Some of the more deluded among them have even gone so far as to claim that South Australian power prices have actually fallen thanks to wind and solar. Tackling the truth has never been their strong point – eg: South Australia’s 50% Renewable Energy Fail: World’s Highest Power Prices Caused by Subsidised Wind & Solar

China scientists warn of global cooling trick up nature’s sleeve
15 Dec 2019 Leave a comment
A new study has found winters in northern China have been warming since 4,000BC – regardless of human activity – but the mainland scientists behind the research warn there is no room for complacency or inaction on climate change, with the prospect of a sudden global cooling also posing a danger.
The study found that winds from Arctic Siberia have been growing weaker, the conifer tree line has been retreating north, and there has been a steady rise in biodiversity in a general warming trend that continues today. It appears to have little to do with the increase in greenhouse gases which began with the industrial revolution, according to the researchers.

The toxic rhetoric of climate change
15 Dec 2019 Leave a comment
by Judith Curry
“I genuinely have the fear that climate change is going to kill me and all my family, I’m not even kidding it’s all I have thought about for the last 9 months every second of the day. It’s making my sick to my stomach, I’m not eating or sleeping and I’m getting panic attacks daily. It’s currently 1 am and I can’t sleep as I’m petrified.” – Young adult in the UK
