Under a ‘business-as-usual’ scenario, the IPCC will soon be bankrupt
There is turmoil at the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). There is disagreement over deadlines, and with the loss of US support, a serious financial shortfall looms. To put it in the IPCC’s own terms: if we do nothing, the IPCC will be bankrupt in a few years’ time.
Roger Pielke Jr.: “Don’t accept the label climate sceptic so easily”
In his first of two recent lectures for Clintel, Roger Pielke Jr. examined the politicized debate over climate change. His central argument was that climate change is real and deserves serious attention, but that public discussion frequently goes far beyond what the scientific evidence supports. He also described how he was a target of political attacks, including some from the Obama White House.

Ideologues try a grid powered only by “renewables”
The island of El Hierro only has about 11,000 people, but in 2008 it set out to show the world how to do a full transition to an electric system powered only by wind turbines backed up by a hydro-electric energy storage system. Francis Menton wonders what has happened since.
The analogy between Chairman Mao and current Western leaders
It is impossible not to notice the analogy between the events that led to China’s Great Famine in 1958-1962 and the ongoing energy disaster being imposed on various U.S. states and other Western countries by an equally ignorant clique of political ideologues, says Francis Menton.
