“[The Paris agreement] is a fraud really, a fake…. It’s just worthless words.” ( – James Hansen, below)
COP30, a CO2-fest of sorts, is failing. Major emitters have not shown up. Virtually all nations and regions are in serious noncompliance with their Paris Agreement goals according to Climate Tracker, and the gap is widening. The new pitch is less about emissions as about the fantasy of cheap wind and solar and batteries heralding a new energy era. Yet the energy transition has been demoted to energy addition (Daniel Yergin) and now energy duplication. Think rising energy prices from climate policy….
Hansen on Paris
James Hansen is a realist when it comes to the United Nations’ global warming negotiations; wind and solar energies; and the lobbying frenzy surrounding the issue.…

And while the redistributionists, the ‘experts’, the rent-seekers hash-and-trash it out in Belém, Brazil (COP 30), the real producers, the on-the-ground energy makers, are perfecting their craft. Here’s to a great conference!”
It is (past) time for the fossil fuel industries to unite with a message of clean and green. After all, oil, natural gas, and coal are now environmental products, and the density and reliability of each is a gift to the living space. In the words of the late Peter Huber:
… Continue ReadingThe greenest fuels are the ones that contain the most energy per pound of material than must be mined, trucked, pumped, piped, and burnt. [In contrast], extracting comparable amounts of energy from the surface would entail truly monstrous environmental disruption….
“Someone is wrong in this clash of climate views. And it is far less Bari Weiss than it is Emily Atkin, a cultist figure (“when I take mushrooms, the last things I want to do is think about climate change“) in the fire of climate exaggeration and despair.”
“At The Free Press, Weiss consistently rebrands tired fossil fuel talking points as courageous, rebellious dissent,” states Emily Atkin at her website HEATED. But reviewing her examples, it is Atkin and not Bari Weiss who needs to rethink climate alarmism and forced energy transformation. The Climate Industrial Complex is nothing to be supported, much less proud of, by even the Progressive Left.
Here are 11 articles that Atkin does not like (reproduced verbatim). But each one has elements of truth to knock down the narrative that HEATED so vehemently wants to prop up.…
