Wind Farms Frozen in Texas & Europe Bezos Should be Better than Gates & Zuckerberg Put Together


Armstrong Economics Blog/Basic Concepts Re-Posted Feb 20, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

These environmentalists never understand that wind turbines will freeze and solar panels will be buried in snow. They seriously think that somehow renewable energy can replace fossil fuels. Even the electric buses in Germany froze. It is bad enough that they try to reduce the entire cyclical patterns in the weather to CO2 and ignore all the scientific evidence that weather is far more complex than they ever imagined. It is like a market crash. Every investigation since the Panic of 1907 begins with the hunt for some mythical short-player who brought the entire market and economy crashing down. As always, nobody has ever been found in the past 100 years of such investigation.

Just perhaps since Gates and Zuckerberg are both dropouts, perhaps they skipped physics class. Bezos went to Princeton University and graduated in 1986 with a B.S.E degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I took those same fields. He should know adding a cycle to electricity converting it from Direct Current to Alternating Current also applies to the rest of the world. And coming from Computer Science, he should also know that you can not create a random number generator for it will always return to a cycle.

Hello! Bezos, you should be better than Gates and Zuckerberg put together!

It is Snowing in the Desert in Saudi Arabia


Armstrong Economics Blog/Climate Re-Posted Feb 19, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

It is snowing a lot in Saudi Arabia. This has nothing to do with CO2. The sooner we start to listen to great research instead of propaganda that has been manufactured to covertly allow the United Nations to dominate the world, which by the way, they have been lobbying for a Carbon Tax worldwide to be paid to the UN.

Meanwhile. even NASA had to admit that just perhaps the Milankovitch orbital cycles may indeed play a role in the earth’s climate cycles. Excuse me, but I really think Biden should be sent back to the basement. What he has done so far by simple decree with respect to climate change denying any hearings in Congress is outright tyranny. I also believe this is bordering on Treason for it is aiding a foreign power, namely the United Nations, to exert power over the entire world economy.

Those who are determined to crush the world economy because of CO2 have always clai9med that snow in winter does not disprove global warming. They have blamed it still on high levels of CO2. Yet with the lockdowns and the collapse in world GDP by about 10% outside of China, you would think we should then have a mild winter instead of this sever cold. Those supporting climate change are just naive. They may think hedge funds and Wall Street are corrupt, but they better look at the agenda and who will benefit from it. The planet is not in danger of reaching some tipping point. The danger is the advancement of totalitarianism in the name of saving the planet.

UN Chief on Climate Change and his vision for the 2019 Climate Change Summit

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for a “reset” between the U.S. and China and suggested the U.S. could work with the communist regime on issues such as “climate action.” The UN is firmly behind calling for this Great Reset.

John Kerry is deeply involved with the World Economic Forum which gives Schwab direct access into the White House.

I do not care if we awre talking abot the economy, markets, climate, or science. The world is complex and there is no way to reduce everything to single cause behind every effect.

Electric Buses in Germany Stop Working it was Too Cold & Gates Tells Germany Build more!


Armstrong Economicc Blog/Technology Re-Posted Feb 17, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Bill Gates has decided to tell Germany how to run a nation. He said that solar and wind power is obviously not enough. Indeed, it got so cold in Germany dipping to -12c, the electric buses stopped working. Gates has told the German auto-manufacturers they better speed up the development of e-cars. Meanwhile, he tells Merkel to develop nuclear energy which she shut down after the Japanese disaster.

Wind turbines have frozen in Texas and California. So much for “green” energy. They only work when it is warm. When it gets cold, when you need heat the most, they fail. Were these environmentalists just stupid? Or was this a way to reduce the population in winters? As I said, I was in Edmonton, Canada at -40. They never turned off the cars because they would never restart. That does not work with electric engines. They just freeze.

With respect to the vaccines, Gates’s daughter, Jennifer, has come out and said she got it and defends her father saying the vaccines do not have nano bytes to control people – which is true. This is the problem. The conspiracy theorist throws out some while claim that is not possible, they dismiss that claim but attach the same conspiracy label to all other concerns.

Up To 4 Million Texans Without Power as Electricity Grid Collapses and Wind Turbines Fail


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 16, 2021 by Sundance

Forty percent of Austin residents are without power, and up to a total of four million Texas residents are suffering under extreme cold conditions as the state power grid is overwhelmed.   Making matters worse, a shortage of natural gas combined with failures of most wind turbines due to ice and freezing temperatures have dropped power generation.

TEXAS – Nearly 200,000 Austin Energy customers woke up without power Monday and were not expected to get it back until Tuesday — possibly late in the day — because of a so-called rotating power outage that didn’t rotate, leaving parts of the city in the cold and dark.

The outages began in the middle of the night, leaving swaths of neighborhoods without electricity, as already freezing temperatures dropped into single digits during an extraordinary winter storm that has raised questions about the city of Austin’s and the state’s ability to handle such an event.

The Houston Chronicle reports: […] “Natural gas supplies for electric generation are already strained in the winter, the peak season for gas used for heating, adding pressure to supplies used to generate electricity.”

The Texas Railroad Commission, which regulates oil and natural gas in the state, said Monday afternoon that some producers, especially in the Permian Basin and Panhandle, were experiencing unprecedented freezing conditions, causing concern for employee safety and affecting production.

[…] “This event happened quickly, and the amount of load that we needed to remove from the grid was significant. It was in a very short time that we maxed out on all of the available circuits that we had to disconnect,” Sargent said. “So because we’re at a max limit, there’s no more energy that we can shut off at this time to bring these customers back on. Basically, we’re stuck here.”  (read more)

Half Country under Freezing Global Warming Temperatures

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong,

I have literally followed you for years (well before your nightmare at MCC in NYC).  I am simply amazed at what you and Socrates have accomplished.

I only know of one person in America that made the bold prediction shown below.  I am amazed, along with all your clients, that you are able to reliably forecast so many issues.  Keep on doing what you’re doing and thank you from the bottom of my heart!

BC

Spokane, WA

REPLY: I moved to Florida because of the forecasts of Socrates. What I am trying to show is that a computer, with a database, can forecast the correct trends in everything from weather and climate, to markets, politics, and war. Anyone who knows me, I hate cold weather. I have roamed in the Valley of the Kings when it was about 120 degrees. Everyone else stayed in the hotel, but I traveled that far and I was not about to stay in the hotel. But I have also been to Edmonton when it was -40 below and they could not shut off the cars or they would never start and you could not talk because your teeth would hurt.

So you can bet on one thing. None of these forecasts were ever made with a personal bias. I just hate cold. Turning to global cooling was not something I wanted to see.

Not An Onion Story- Bill Gates wants to Dim the Sun


Re-Posted from GrrrGraphics.com FEB 14, 2021 AT 11:01 AM

Culling humanity by means of GMO food and poisonous vaccines isn’t enough for Bill Gates. Now he wants to block out the sun in his quest to solve global warming, also known as ‘climate change.’

Due to a solar minimum (no sunspots) and a dipping polar vortex, North America and Europe are currently experiencing record cold temperatures. Maybe we are seeing climate change, but it’s the opposite of the global warming fears that Bill and China Joe are pitching. We could be seeing the start of a mini ice age, similar to what happened in the middle ages. How convenient that science, now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bill Gates, omits the sun from their climate change equations. Data is always skewed to blame human activity, just as Gates and the Illuminati  have ordered.

Gates wants to scatter fine dust particles in the upper atmosphere to block the sun’s rays, thus cooling the Earth. I don’t recall anyone voting for such a dangerous scheme, but the oligarchs do what they want. Their political toadies love to spout the slogan ‘Our Democracy,’ while removing our liberties, but in reality it’s all about ‘Their Oligarchy’ and what they want while the masses have no say. Gates and his fellow 1/10th of one percenters do not have to follow laws or morals. Those are meant for their subjects—the powerless serfs.

People such as  Gates get what they want. Along with the homunculus doctor, Fauci, he intends to get even richer while peddling under-tested and very harmful potions that get jabbed into the arms of millions. Gates, who is neither a doctor nor scientist, wants to rake in even more cash by cornering our food supply. We’ll be forced to pay Gates billions of bucks while he forces us to eat his poisonous GMO foods. Gates now owns more farmland than anyone else in the world. He’ll probably buy more and it somehow ties in with his evil plans to block out the sun. Maybe he’ll make sure the sun only reaches his properties.

Bill Gates should be tried for crimes against humanity, but who is able to mete out such long overdue justice? Unfortunately the mega-billionaire globalist oligarchs control our justice system, our politicians, corporate media, social media, and our education system. Apparently everyone will meekly stand by and watch a squeaky-voiced computer nerd runs his genocidal game plan.

Bill Gates wants to ‘save the planet’ for himself and his Big Club of mega-billionaires by killing off billions of human beings.

Like we always say, “You go first.”

The Foolishness of Shifting to Renewables


Armstrong Economics Blog/Energy RE-Posted Feb 3, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline from Alberta, but what people do not realize is the environmentalists are out for blood. They are pushing to shut down pipeline #5 that supplies a large portion of Michigan homes the energy to stay warm. Line 5 supplies 65% of the propane demand of the upper portion of the state and 55% of Michigan’s statewide propane needs. Overall, line 5 transports up to 540,000 barrels per day (bpd) of light crude oil, light synthetic crude, and natural gas liquids (NGLs), which are refined into propane.

Despite the propaganda, we are not headed into global warming, but global cooling. Even Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter this season. It won’t be an ice age, hopefully, and if that took place it would be post-2032. But each winter is getting colder, and yet these people have dropped the global warming label and switched it to climate change so they can now claim that any storm or record snowfall is caused by CO2. These lockdowns have NOT been about the virus, but to reduce CO2. Indeed, shutting down the economy and preventing manufacture did reduce CO2 emission, but not that drastically.

Shutting down the world economy only reduced CO2 by 7%. Even Bill Gates knows that solar panels and windmills will just not service even keeping up the internet. He is pushing nuclear power to be expanded. What is not being widely reported is that as the temperatures collapsed, so did the wind. In Britain, they had a sudden energy crisis as the windmills stopped because of no wind and temperatures plummeted. As was reported, the BBC’s Roger Harrabin responded on Twitter that “we need solutions.” He expressed that it was foolish to think that shifting to renewables will save the day. Living in Florida, I needed a hedge against storms so you put in a backup generator that runs on gas, not electricity which will typically go down in a hurricane as trees fall and take down power lines.

So as the climate turns colder and the snowstorms get worse, as we see in NYC this week, the environmentalists will NEVER admit that they are wrong and that there are natural cycles in climate. Cutting off energy will lead to a rise in deaths in the colder regions as fossil fuels are shut down.

Are We Heading into an Ice Age?

A Technical Study in the Relationships of Solar Flux, Water, Carbon Dioxide and Global Temperatures, December 2020 Data


Carbon Dioxide CO2 is not making “ANY” dangerous changes to the global temperature!

From the attached report on climate change for December 2020 Data we have the two charts showing how much the global temperature has actually gone up since we started to measure CO2 in the atmosphere? To show this graphically Chart 8 was constructed by plotting CO2 as a percent increase from when it was first measured in 1958, the Black plot, the scale is on the left and it shows CO2 going up by 32.0% from 1958 to December of 2020. That is a very large change as anyone would have to agree.  Now how about temperature, well when we look at the percentage change in temperature from 1958, using Kelvin (which does measure the change in heat), we find that the changes in global temperature (heat) are almost un-measurable. The scale on the right side had to be expanded 10 times (the range is 40 % on the left and 4% on the right) to be able to see the plot in the same chart in any detail. The red plot, starting in 1958, shows that the thermal energy in the earth’s atmosphere increased by .40%; while CO2 has increased by 32.0% which is 80 times that of the increase in temperature. So is there really a meaningful link between them that would give as a major problem? The numbers tell us no there isn’t.

The next chart is Chart 8a which is the same as Chart 8 except for the scales which are the same for both CO2 and Temperature. As you see the increase in energy, heat, is not visually observably in this chart hence the need for the previous chart 8 to show the minuscule increase in thermal energy shown by NASA in relationship to the change in CO2. Based to these trends, determined by excel not me, in 2028 CO2 will be 428 ppm and temperatures will be a bit over 15.0o Celsius and in 2038 CO2 will be 458 ppm and temperatures will be 15.6O Celsius. This is what the data shows no matter what the reasons are, so I have no idea how the IPCC gets to predict that the world will end in ten or even twenty years.

The full 40 page report explains how these charts were developed and why using NASA and NOAA data that are used without change to prove that The New Green Deal is not required and any attempt to complete that plan will be a worldwide disaster.

Fear of Global Cooling and Falling Iguanas


For this old geologist the change from carbon causing cooling to causing global warming with no change in its place in the periodic table has been fascinating

Re-Posted from the Canada Free Press By Bob Hoye —— Bio and ArchivesDecember 29, 2020

Atweet from the National Weather Service in Miami: “Brrr! Much colder temps expected for Christmas. Falling iguanas are possible”. 

On Christmas Day, the Associated Press reported: “With unexpectedly cold weather in the forecast and pandemic-related curfews. Florida is about to have a Christmas unlike any other in recent memory, and it may involve falling iguanas.” 

It seems that the lizards which are cold-blooded like to sleep in trees. But when it gets unusually cold their body temperature drops enough, they go sort of dormant. And in losing their grip fall from the branches. Without warning, which was part of the weather alert that temps could be the lowest in some 21 years. 

The outstanding climate site WUWT recently ran a list of over 100 climate alarms. These range from dire warnings about another ice age—from using too much fossil fuels—to global warming. For the same reason.

Fear of The World Frying

“The lowest winter temperatures are likely to increase in Northern Europe…The duration of the snow season is very likely to shorten and snow depth is likely to decrease.” – IPCC Climate Change, 2007. 

“All simulations show the trend of less snowfall will continue into the future. And winter sports will no longer be possible.” – Liebnitz Institute for Oceanography, February 17, 2005. 

However, this winter seems to be generating some concerning news stories – about too much snow. And even one about too much cold in Brazil.

“More Record Lows in Brazil” – Coutiniho, November 7, 2020. 

“Snow Chaos – Record Snowfall Causes Mayhem in Austria” – Today, RTZ.Lu, December 9, 2020.

“Delhi, Weather: IMD Records Coldest October in 58 Years” – The Quint, October 31, 2020.

“Record Snowfall in New York State” – WGRZ.com, December 26, 2020.

“Texas Snowfall Almost As Far South As Austin” – NBC, Dallas-Fort Worth, December 28, 2020.

Fear of Another Ice Age

“The world has been chilling sharply…At twice what it would take to put us in an ice Age.” – Earth Day 1970, Kenneth Watt, Ecologist.

“Discharge into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuel will screen out so much of the sun’s rays that the Earth’s average temperature could fall by six degrees. Sustained emissions over five to ten years, could be sufficient to trigger an Ice Age.” – Washington Post, July 9, 1971.

Now, just where did the Washington Post sensationalism come from?

From a paper published by NASA physicists Rasool and Schneider in 1971:

“For aerosols, however, the net effect of increases in density is to reduce the surface temperature of the Earth. If sustained over a period of several years, such a temperature decrease over the whole globe is believed to be sufficient to trigger an ice age.”

In other articles at the time, “aerosols” mainly meant carbon particulates emitted by burning fossil fuels. Indeed, an article published by “New Scientist” in December 2003 quoted James Hansen on increasing amounts of particulate carbon in the atmosphere causing global warming.

Hansen, the “father” of global warming hysteria, was quoted: “It causes a strong warming effect”.

For this old geologist the change from carbon causing cooling to causing global warming with no change in its place in the periodic table has been fascinating.

But to go with the mandated fad, global warming due to whatever reason could eventually diminish fears about falling iguanas.
