“Timbit” Carbon Taxes and Net Zero Goals Limit Canadian Economy
The Canadian Climate Institute claims that the industrial carbon price amounts to only a “Timbit" per barrel of costs (value ~CAD 0.50) and that there is almost "zero" economic impact on households; these claims are disputed by Friends of Science Society in a new video explainer, "Timbit Carbon Tax".
Decline in total energy production key factor in German CO2 reduction, not renewables
The reduction of CO2 emissions in Germany by approximately 46% in the years 2007–2023 was not the result of a simple substitution of coal with renewable sources. It was primarily conditioned by a drastic drop in the total amount of energy produced.
Lindzen, Happer and Koonin: remove ‘Trojan Horse’ from the courtroom
A new edition of a science education manual for judges departs “sharply” from a “longstanding tradition of neutrality,” say three of America’s most distinguished physicists in a letter to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.
“Complete elimination of all ruminants would reduce temperature by only 0.05°C”
In a recent lecture prof. William Happer showed that even the complete elimination of all ruminants would reduce global temperatures by only about 0.05°C. The effect is so small that it calls into question the justification for aggressive mitigation policies targeting these methane producing animals, like cows.
We are nowhere near a Climate Tipping Point
A recent paper predicts an irreversible disaster beyond which the planet would become unbearably hot. But a careful look at the evidence reveals this claim to be absurd, with no sign that we are currently anywhere close to such a climate tipping point.
Understanding the Psychology of Climate Doom
The persistence of ‘climate doom’ narratives isn’t mysterious—it follows recognizable psychological and social patterns, says Anthony Watts.
