Wind Farms Are a Joke If You Want Reliable Electricity


Wind power is a joke — there is no way to make it suitable for Grid level power! It can have only very limited uses and most of them only work when heavily subsidized.

A 10GW fleet of wind farms across the UK can guarantee to provide less than two per cent of its maximum output

Wind farms can never be relied upon to keep the lights on in Britain because there are long periods each winter in which they produce barely any power, according to a new report by the Adam Smith Institute.

The huge variation in wind farms’ power output means they cannot be counted on to produce energy when needed, and an equivalent amount of generation from traditional fossil fuel plants will be needed as back-up, the study finds.

Climate Doomsday draws near: just 37 days to go


It doesn’t seem to matter how many times they are wrong — its only the message that counts, “Repent the end is near!”

Trenberth Proves Global Warming


What can one say when faced with logic like this? How did he and all the others even get their degrees — what the heck are they teaching today. My undergrad was in 1965 and I had to work my ass off with math and statistics and there were no calculators except the ones with a sliding stick in the middle.

In his May, 2014 debate with Judith Curry in Boulder, Kevin Trenberth cited US warmth in 2012 as proof of global warming

Sea Ice Extent – Day 297 – Global Sea Ice Higher Than 1984 1986 1987 1991 1995 1997 and more


2014 is the warmest year on record according to NOAA,maybe the ice hasn’t got the word yet!

How The French Fight Global Warming


The French haven’t down much of anything right in the last decade and now they will be joining Germany in making sure their businesses and citizens will have no power in the coming years.

GlobalWarmingThe past month has seen considerable news on the global warming front—the National Academy of Sciences found that the U.N. underestimates the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbed by plants, Greenpeace’s founder described the group as an “evil organization” that has “lost concern for humanity,” and a paper in the journal Ocean Science concluded that sea-level rise has decelerated by 44 percent since 2004, for starters. The French have decided to take a stand and fight by unplugging 25 percent of their electricity supply.

Earlier this month, the lower house of the French Parliament passed a long-debated “energy transition” bill that would replace the one renewable electricity source that provides efficient, affordable energy—nuclear power—with other emissions-free power that depend on the sun shining and the wind blowing at the right times. Specifically, the bill would phase out 25 percent of the nation’s nuclear power by…

Is NOAA Wrong?


The question might be better stated as how often is NOAA right?

Europe commits economic suicide – agrees to massive emission cuts


Germany’s problems with closing their nuke plants and relying more and more on wind and solar PV while than having to turn back on their coal powered generators shows how foolish this will be.

Aaron Stover summarizers Will Happer–lecturing at George Marshall–a giant of a man


Will Happer is an amassing man, I spend a few days with him this past summer having him review my work. Just having a scientist of his stature do that was a major honor. More people and politicians should be listening to him and a few other like him that are doing the science right.

Aaron did damn good job of taking notes–my goodness. When I was in medical school certain individuals were designated to produce the notes becuase they were good–Aaron would get that job.

CO2 Drives NCDC Data Tampering


They have been doing this for a while now; I’m a late comer to this subject but it was observable in the data in 2010.

Tony Heller's avatarReal Climate Science

I wish I could say the data below is a joke, but it isn’t.  USHCN temperature adjustments correlate almost perfectly with atmospheric CO2

US temperatures have not warmed over the past century (blue line below) – but NCDC alters the data to create the appearance of warming (red line below)

They accomplish this through a spectacular hockey stick of data tampering, which cools the past and warms the present.

ScreenHunter_3232 Oct. 01 22.58 

Note the exponential growth of tampering, particularly over the past 15 years, which is very similar to the growth of CO2.

So I tried correlating the magnitude of the tampering with the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, and found almost perfect correlation – shown below.

ScreenHunter_3233 Oct. 01 22.59

CO2 causes all kinds of great evil, but who would have guessed that it directly causes NCDC to release scientifically meaningless global warming propaganda?

Again, this sounds like a joke – but it isn’t. They…

WOW. Nature article suggests ‘Ditch the 2 °C warming goal’


It always was a made up number even Mr. M said that … lol Good to see they finally admitted it!
