    Professor Valentina Zharkova of the University of Northumbria. The professor’s fields are applied mathematics, plasma physics, pattern recognition, solar-terrestrial physics and solar activity. What she has to say may be about to blow a hole in the AGW nonsense, taking down Net Zero in the process. You can hear her here.





    Happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year to all!
    May we all find the the truth within us!

    The climate is always changing - am I right or wrong?

    But now that they have messed with so much geo-engineering in our skies, how is that not going to have an affect?

    Forget global warming - it is crazy cold out there.

    Global warming was and is intended to be a control mechanism placed on the population. The plan was to control human behavior and financial resources. The problem was naming this control mechanism global warming gave it a finite start and finish date. It began when the globe started to warm and it ended when the globe began to cool. They needed something that would allow them to put these controls in place into perpetuity. Climate Change can now encompass all possible weather scenarios, including heating, cooling, tsunamis, droughts, floods, freezing, snow, earthquake, rising water levels, shrinking water levels, etc. Hence the renaming to Climate Change. Problem solved for all time, the climate changes every minute of every day and it will never stop.

    When controlling people based on climate change you control, the cars they drive, houses they live in, clothes they wear, how, where and the frequency they are allowed to travel, etc. There is no end to the control.

    This is exactly what they have recently done with equality. They have renamed it equity. Think of it this way, you can provide equality all day long by giving people the same opportunities for jobs, housing, training, education, etc but that does not guarantee an equal outcome. But if you lose equality and tell people the goal is now equity it will never ever be attained. Once again equality can be easily measured but equity is subjective to whoever is doing the measuring. It is now another control mechanism that goes into perpetuity.

    Watch starting at 2 minutes into the video as a Congressman stumps "experts" as to what percentage of CO2 is in the atmosphere--and how much is necessary for plant life to thrive.

    Anthropogenic Climate Change / Global Warming is a dismal fraud, relying on pseudo religious 'belief' and 'consensus' without actual facts in support. They have been repeatedly caught "cooking" the data to support their conclusions. The Alarmists rely on bogus computer projections, that have yet to come true, and embrace the dire claims made in the 1990s as facts. But now, there's an entrenched interest sucking public monies to go along with the charade. Eventually people will admit that the Emperor's New Clothes are nothing but nothing. But the guilty will have long gone with our revenues in their pockets. And we will have wasted a generation 'sequestering' a non-existent threat.
    . . .
    WHY BE SKEPTICAL?

    If "the money" really believed that oceans would rise, they'd be selling off oceanfront property or surrounding it with polders, levees and dikes. Mountain retreats would be selling like hotcakes. Governments would be shifting subsidy from the automobile / petroleum / highway hegemony, to electric traction rail - the most efficient form of land transport (90% fuel savings). All housing would be built with superinsulation, thus minimizing the consumption of resources to maintain comfort. And to minimize the cost from natural disasters, construct disaster resistant resilient structures and homes, as a rule, not an exception.

    But.They're.Not.
    They're imposing BEVs - which are WORSE* than the ICEs they are replacing. (Most likely will result in an 80% drop in private automobile ownership - not enough raw materials to support a 1:1 swap of ICEs with BEVs)(*Except for hydroelectric power - 90% efficient - all other forms of power generation, when all inefficiencies are factored in - transmission loss - battery charge / discharge - battery storage losses - etc, have a LOWER fuel => work conversion ratio than ICEs, which are directly burning fuel to move.) (It is stipulated that electric motors are more "efficient" at converting power to work, but the only way electric cars can approach their ideal efficiency is if they could tap into a municipal power grid like a catenary power source - like trolley buses did. Anything to avoid using batteries would be an improvement.)

    They're banning coal & petroleum consumption without bothering to replace that power source. (Need 120% more electrical generation to deal with wasteful BEVs)

    They're imposing "sustainable" wind and solar power, that is intermittent and unreliable, so it requires fossil fuel plants on stand-by to fill in the gaps. . . which is even less efficient and wasteful. (Which will result in far higher utility bills)

    They're trying to tax air and sequester carbon - a joke if ever.

    WORSE, they're going to subsidize waste and penalize frugality (new utility rates that will "shift" the cost to the wealthy customers).
    THE CON IS ON.

    GETTING "BACK ON TRACK"
    ...
    http://www.brooklynrail.net/science_...ocomotion.html
    At the same constant speed, on level ground, drawing the same load, any steel wheeled railway vehicle already in motion, will use only 5% (1/20) of the energy consumed by any large pneumatic tire road vehicle already in motion. Upon starting and initial acceleration, any steel wheeled railway vehicle will only use 10% (1/10) of the energy demanded by any large pneumatic tire road vehicle.
    ...
    Using AGCC/AGW as the excuse to ban ICEs and go to BEVs is a sad joke.
    ...
    Steel wheel on steel rail is 20 times more energy efficient than rubber tire on pavement.
    (Law of Physics, co-efficient of rolling resistance)
    ...
    No matter how 'efficient' a BEV is claimed to be, when compared to a train, it's a turkey, consuming TWENTY TIMES AS MUCH POWER to move the same cargo / passengers.

    IF moving the most cargo / passenger per unit of fuel was the goal, then there would have to be a national initiative to restore / rebuild our once world class rail system, preferably all-electric.
    Obviously, that is NOT going to happen... too many entrenched special interests will oppose it.

    So we KNOW that any claim to "save the planet from consuming fossil fuels" is a CON.


    SOME NUMBERS

    https://www.csx.com/index.cfm/about-...el-efficiency/
    CSX trains (diesel-electric) averaged 492 miles per gallon per ton. (2000 lbs.)

    If you imagine substituting 5 passengers (each : 400 lbs), that's 2340 passenger - miles per gallon fuel.
    A Ford Explorer *(full load) runs 100 passenger - miles per gallon, by comparison.
    A Tesla *(full load) runs 328 passenger-miles per gallon (equiv).
    ...
    http://www.theoildrum.com/node/4301
    "... Electrifying existing rail freight would trade 2.6 to 3 BTUs of diesel for one BTU of electricity."

    Electric traction rail has the potential to increase efficiency from 2340 passenger - miles per gallon (equiv) to as much as 7000 passenger-miles per gallon.
    Versus 328 passenger-miles in a BEV like a Tesla.
    21:1 ratio (close to the expected 20:1, plus electric rail has regenerative braking, for added boost)

    WHO ARE THEY KIDDING?

    TODAY
    There are 276 million vehicles registered in the U.S. as of 2022. This includes 159 million trucks, 104 million cars, 8.2 million motorcycles, and 568 thousand buses.
    If their usage dropped by 90%, that would result in :
    16 million trucks, 10 million cars, 0.8 million motorcycles, and 57 thousand buses.
    Even if ownership was still high, while usage was down, we would benefit greatly from the reduction in fuel consumption, elimination of traffic congestion (gridlock), reduced traffic fatalities, and cleaner air... without banning ICEs.

    It’s fair to say that acquiring and operating 222,069 streetcars, in place of 104,000,000 automobiles, and 568,000 buses, would be a net improvement for mass transit as well as personal finances.

    I remember many years ago when Al Gore's documentary came out about global warming " the inconvenient truth", that I fully endorsed it, until soon after a friend told me it was all howash, he said we will soon enter a cooling phase. He left it at that. I thought about it and started to do some research. I think this is the first step i.e. to double check your assumptions and not to be fearful of finding out that you have been brainwashed. Also some people have a burning desire to know the truth, if this desire is not there, then we fall into the comfort of "nerd mentality".

    CO2 is a blessing, not a curse
    Roger J ArthurMay 3, 2023

    THE current level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is 0.042 per cent or 420 ppm (parts per million). There is 100,000,000,000,000,000 tons of evidence – in the form of rock – that CO2 levels in the atmosphere were as high as 1 per cent (24 times the current figure) but the Earth didn’t overheat, and life thrived.

    There are no tipping points. No overheating points, no problems from CO2, and levels are so far below 1 per cent at this time that it is laughable that anyone should imagine that CO2 can be damaging to life on Earth.

    The global warming scam deserves nothing but derision. To claim that CO2 is a pollutant is unimaginably wrong, particularly when vegetation begins to die at not much less than 0.02 per cent, less than half of today’s already minuscule proportion.

    Here is what CO2 has done for agriculture. Fertilisers, better varieties etc did nothing to produce more food until CO2 started rising. With more CO2 our C4 photosynthesis plants grew 6.5 times more food to the acre.

    Our C3 plants did over eight times more. All we have done with CO2 is light up life on the earth! We have not overheated. It is all a lie that CO2 is a problem. Quite the reverse – there is no greater blessing on this earth than increased CO2.

    The sun is the principal driver of natural CO2 emissions, which follow temperature. That is evident from the circa 6ppm variation in the amount of CO2 found in the atmosphere over the course of a year as the sun passes from north to southern hemisphere, largely due to differences in land mass and the amount of vegetation.

    What is the impact of CO2? As outlined by the graph below, the greenhouse gas (GHG) impact falls away exponentially and at the current level of around 420ppm the impact of a 1.6ppm increase (the 60-year average) on temperature is insignificant.

    As Professor Happer says, increasing CO2 levels from 0.04 per cent (400ppm) by two or three times causes no observable warming. Our earth is greener and our crops are richer due to the effect that we see in greenhouses. Also it would take the UK around 3,000 years to add 1.6ppm of CO2.

    So why are are going to spend over £8trillion to eliminate the UK’s circa 0.00048ppm pa CO2 emissions? If global evangelists are not stopped, we will be taken back to a pre-industrial age, with increased poverty.

    In the meantime China emits more CO2 in 12 days than the UK does in a year as they continue to take business from us, causing even higher emissions than before.

    For anyone who is still unconvinced, it is worth noting:

    that the sun is the primary driver of climate;
    that natural CO2 levels follow global temperature;
    that IPCC predictions have been flawed;
    that there is no global warming model which factors in all drivers and feedback loops;
    the impact of solar activity and storms are not factored in;
    water vapour and clouds have a bigger GHG impact than CO2.
    Can anyone suggest an optimum level for CO2, or show that IPCC models account for all of the above factors? I don’t think so.

    CO2 follows temperature because it outgasses from the ocean, not unlike a soda going flat as it warms up. There is no "anthropogenic" climate change to be alarmed about.

    But such talk will get one excommunicated from the Church of the Warming Planet.

    The last time I talked to my father he shocked me by using the phrase' "climate change", in passing, just before we hung up.

    You gottta understand that my father knows nothing about climate, change, or any other pseudo-scientific term or language. And he does not believe in any sort of 'conspiracy theory'. So, for him, climate change is a fact. Just like 'orange man bad', 'covid pandemic', 'the unvaxed are a threat', 'the 2020 election was the safest and most secure in history', 'Ukraine is winning the war', and a tide of other, left-leaning talking points.

    And dad is/was always a conservative! Now he's just brainwashed like the rest of them. I don't dare ask any questions of his opinion on any topic for fear of what he might say...
    So sad. So predictable. And as a religious person, I would have expected better of him. Then again, the Catholics are deep into the illegal alien smuggling operation throughout the world.
