European energy policy: full speed towards the wall
What do you do when you realise you are heading in the wrong direction? Hit the brakes, right? In Europe, this is not the case. Instead, the answer of European leaders is to accelerate further, opting for an energy transition that is even faster, more ambitious, and more radical. In the meantime, the problems are piling up. A summary of the key facts, makes you wonder desperately: why isn't anyone hitting the brakes?
Abuse of Science: Extreme Event Attribution Studies
Both the mainstream media and government reports have latched on to Event Attribution to fan the flames of climate alarmism. But such studies are deeply flawed, with errors in both science and inter¬pretation, having been created for legal and political rather than scientific reasons, says Ralph Alexander.
New paper: U.S. temperature extremes have declined since 1899
The key takeaway from a new paper by John Christy is that the story of temperature extremes in the U.S. is more complicated than often presented.
Sustainability is the problem, not the solution
In recent weeks, a common refrain in Europe has been that if we had only focused more aggressively on 'renewable' energy sources, we would not find ourselves in such a vulnerable position because of the war in Iran. But is this claim true? Dutch science journalist and Clintel director Marcel Crok argues the opposite: it is precisely Europe's fixation on climate policy and CO2 reduction that has left us exposed and contributed to the current energy mess.
“Bringing youth into the climate realist fold”
At the recent Heartland Conference, there was a special session called Bringing youth into the climate realist fold. How are younger generations engaging with climate issues and shaping the future conversation? Two interesting speakers were Lucy Biggers, who used to hang out with Greta Thunberg, and Chris Martz, who has been called the ‘Anti Greta Thunberg’.
Germany’s Energy Minister Admits Renewable Energy is Ruining the Country
Germany’s Energy Minister recently delivered a verdict that would have been career-ending heresy only a year ago: “One fact has been concealed for too long: an energy transition that ignores system costs will ruin the country it claims to save.” So fifteen years after Merkel’s nuclear panic, reality is reasserting itself with the cold logic of physics and markets.
