Utopia, you are standing in it!

Every year I publish the latest Greenland temperature data from the DMI. Unfortunately they have not got round to updating it for 2021.

The data is of course extremely damning for the alarmist narrative about rising temperatures in the Arctic and Greenland meltdowns, as it shows that Greenland was just as warm in the 1930s to 50s as it has been in the last two decades, with the exception of that one warm year in 2010.

Maybe that is the reason for the withholding of the data for the last two years.

However we can still access the up to date numbers from GISS:

GISS publish both the unadjusted (ie actual) temperatures as well as their homogenised ones, which are used in their global temperature dataset.

The actual data follows the same trend as DMI, with temperatures as high around the 1930s and 40s. (The…

Germany’s self-inflicted renewable energy disaster is on display for all to see. It’s a calamity that the MSM refuses to acknowledge. An inconvenient truth, no doubt.

Sure, the Russians pulled the plug on gas supplies to Germany, but mother nature does the same with sunshine and breezes, every day. Sunset, cloud cover and calm weather, do it every time.

The Germans call it ‘dunkelflaute’ – a period of gloomy, windless weather. Which roughly translates as a complete collapse in the output of their more than 30,000 wind turbines and millions of solar panels.

Quietly, logic and common sense are returning to retake control of Germany’s idiotic energy policy, with coal-fired power front and centre.

As Pierre Gosselin outlines below, Germans appear less keen on pointless virtue signalling and more in tune with the need to have power 24 x 7, whatever the weather.

Politicians routinely crabwalk away from policy disasters. So it is in Britain where ever-reliable nuclear power has just been declared ‘green’ and essential to Britain’s energy future.

Oversold and overhyped, in Europe, wind power now barely rates a mention amongst anyone serious about serious energy policy. Like that awkward, always-drunk uncle that everyone wants to avoid and forget.

What a difference ever-rocketing power prices and an increasingly chaotic and insufficient weather-driven supply makes to policies driven by ideology rather than engineering.

No longer able to avoid the unavoidable, Britain’s government is backing nuclear power like their entire economic future depends upon it. Which, incidentally, it very much does.

• Dr Bryce Edwards writes – 

It’s truly astonishing the way that the Government has been able to suppress evidence of business donors gaining special access to Cabinet information.

Now that Stuart Nash has been fired from Cabinet for leaking sensitive information to individuals who funded his election campaign, the focus has shifted to why this information was kept from the public back in 2021. It turns out that the Prime Minister’s Office knew Nash had given privileged information to donors. Furthermore, the PM’s Office played a central role in preventing that information from being released to a journalist who specifically asked for it, and should have received it, under the provision of the Official Information Act.

The Nash scandal is now far wider than the ex-minister, and there are fundamental questions about the role of the Government in allegedly covering up the misuse of public office for vested interests. Labour…
