2023 Was Even Hotter Than Predicted, Raising Fears We’re in Uncharted Territory
2023 Was Even Hotter Than Predicted, Raising Fears We’re in Uncharted Territory Sea surface temperature anomalies for 9 April 2024. (NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio) Last year Earth warmed around 0.2 °C more than climate models predicted. While that may not seem like much in isolation, when you consider it’s a measure across an entire planet it […]
0.04%: Small Does Not = Immaterial
0.04%: Small Does Not = Immaterial Think CO2 Concentration at 0.04% is Low? These 10 Toxins are Deadly at Far Lower Concentrations. Photo by Markus Spiske / Unsplash If you follow me on Twitter , you’re probably familiar with the onslaught of nonsense from the anti-science crowd. I’m fine with respectful, reasoned responses, but many of the […]
Understanding climate warming impacts on carbon release from the tundra
Understanding climate warming impacts on carbon release from the tundra Open-top chambers (OTCs) in Latnjajaure, Sweden, provide a controlled environment to study simulated warming of the tundra ecosystem. Credit: Sybryn Maes The warming climate shifts the dynamics of tundra environments and makes them release trapped carbon, according to a new study published in Nature. These changes could transform […]
We have two years to save the planet: UN climate chief
We have two years to save the planet: UN climate chief Simon Stiell Governments, business leaders and development banks have two years to take action to avert far worse climate change, the UN’s climate chief said yesterday, in a speech that warned global warming is slipping down politicians’ agendas. Scientists say that halving climate-damaging greenhouse […]
Only 57 producers are responsible for 80% of all fossil fuel and cement CO2 emissions since 2016 – new report
Only 57 producers are responsible for 80% of all fossil fuel and cement CO2 emissions since 2016 – new report Just 57 companies and nation states were responsible for generating 80% of the world’s CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels and cement over the last seven years, according to a new report released by the thinktank InfluenceMap. This finding […]
We’re Supposed To Be Done Finding New Oil and Gas. We’re Not.
We’re Supposed To Be Done Finding New Oil and Gas. We’re Not. Oil and gas reserves discovered and approved just since 2021 would add an entire year of China’s emissions to the atmosphere. That’s according to a new analysis from Carbon Brief, using Global Energy Monitor Data, and boy is it grim. A total of 14 billion tons […]
“If You Want To Control People, You Have To Control The CO2”
“If You Want To Control People, You Have To Control The CO2” As farmer protests rage across Europe, Dutch MP Rob Roos sits down with The HighWire’s Del Bigtree to discuss the climate scam pushed by radical globalist elites in the Western world to seize more power and control. “They [elites] go against family values. They go against natural […]
Globalists Will Use Carbon Controls To Stop You From Growing Your Own Food
Globalists Will Use Carbon Controls To Stop You From Growing Your Own Food February 2, 2024 19 Comments In early 2020 in the midst of the covid lockdowns, blue states run by leftist governors pursued mandates with extreme prejudice. In red states like Montana, after the first month or two most of us simply ignored the […]

Coming Soon: Your Travel Will Be Restricted By Personal Carbon Allowances
Coming Soon: Your Travel Will Be Restricted By Personal Carbon Allowances “Experts suggest” your standard of living be reduced by over 85% A report on the future of travel and tourism, co-authored by a travel agency called Intrepid Travel and The Future Labs Institute, posits a future deeply impacted by climate change and restrictions on […]
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh XXIX–Are We Being Duped Regarding Global Warming?
Today’s Contemplation: Collapse Cometh XXIX August 17, 2021 Tulum, Mexico (1986) Photo by author Are We Being Duped Regarding Global Warming? Today’s contemplation was prompted by an email my mum sent me. As she closes in on 80, I find that she’s becoming a bit more open-minded about things but remains somewhat of a skeptic when it […]
Report: majority of carbon offset projects globally are “likely junk”
Report: majority of carbon offset projects globally are “likely junk” Analysis found that 39, or 78%, of the 50 environmental projects were categorised as “likely junk or worthless” due to one or more “fundamental failing”. Reforestation is one of the most common projects traded within the VCM. Credit: Richard Whitcombe via Shutterstock. The “vast majority” […]
Capturing Carbon With Machines Is a Failure—So Why Are We Subsidizing It?
Capturing Carbon With Machines Is a Failure—So Why Are We Subsidizing It? Human activity—mostly the burning of fossil fuels—has raised Earth’s atmospheric carbon content by 50 percent, from 280 parts per million (ppm) to 420 ppm. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, we’ve released approximately 950 billion metric tons of carbon into the air. Every year, humans emit more than […]
Extreme heat could put 40% of land vertebrates in peril by end of century
Extreme heat could put 40% of land vertebrates in peril by end of century Study shows ‘disastrous consequences for wildlife’ if human-caused emissions push global temperatures up 4.4C A female desert bighorn sheep in the Joshua Tree National Park, California. Such areas would be among the worse impacted if global emissions are not cut. Photograph: […]
The Energy Transition Will Run Through the Copper Gauntlet
