Friday Funny: Paul Ehrlich Discredits the Peer Review Process

Ever since CBS trotted out serial doomster Ehrlich to promote his never ending negative knowledge this week, we’ve heard a lot of pushbacks.

For example, this post yesterday from Anthony

Well on Tuesday it was all just too much for the old malthusian and he lashed out at all those right wingers.

Twitter was not kind to nonagenarian face of environmental chicken littleism. Here are some examples.

It is quite entertaining to read the quote tweets directly. I highly recommend it.

Dr. Roger Pielke Jr also joined in the response.

🧵
This 1971 review of Ehrlich and Ehrlich by Roger Revelle titled, “Paul Ehrlich: New High Priest of Ecocatastrophe” is really something

https://doi.org/10.2307/2134034

The poor should stay poor, to allow more for us
Hence the concept of “never-to-be-developed countries”

I had no idea Revelle was so spicy:

“No one can blame the Ehrlichs, living within a few miles of the Bay Shore Highway between San Francisco and San Jose, for thinking that the four-fold growth of California’s population since 1930 is a disaster”

Compulsory abortion, sure, why not

I’ll end this medley with a video clip demonstrating what a disgusting, anti-human, anti-freedom, totalitarian statist, Ehrlich always has been. It’s illustrative that he begins by saying he’s not in favor of government interference then goes on to describe all the ways he wants government to interfere.

1PM EST – Climate Goals vs. Human Well-Being: A LIVE Discussion with Dr. Judith Curry

The estimable Dr. Judith Curry joins The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, H. Sterling Burnett, and Linnea Lueken to discuss “Climate Goals vs. Human Well-Being” on the next episode of Climate Change Roundtable.

You don’t want to miss your opportunity to listen to this GIANT of the climate science community talk about what is really happening to the climate, and why the alarmism fueling the “solutions” to climate change are going to make life worse for everyone on the planet.

If you join the live-stream while it’s happening, you will get to ask Dr. Curry your questions, and also have your comments put on the screen.

Climate Goals Thwarted As German Energy Consumption Data For 2022 Shows A Return To Coal!

German energy monitoring site Agora-Energiewende looks at the year 2022 and it winds up only as it possibly could. The return to coal shows up quite clearly in the numbers, the FAZ reports.

The increased use of coal-fired power plants as a gas substitute has thwarted Germany’s climate goals in 2022, according to a study. Although overall energy consumption fell by almost five percent, mainly due to high prices, the use of coal and oil cancelled out the greenhouse gas savings, according to an evaluation published Wednesday by think tank Agora Energiewende.

Also the transportation and construction sectors could not reach its targets in the past year again. Thus Germany, based on provisional figures, produced 761 million tons of greenhouse gas almost exactly as much as 2021. The self-imposed upper limit for 2022 was missed by about five million tons.”

Thematically, an article from Die Welt (paywall) fits in:

Insulation chaos and nuclear phase-out end the dream of clean energy … Gedaschko went on to say, ‘The experience of recent years shows more than clearly that, with a political tunnel vision, the requirements for the energy efficiency of individual buildings have been unilaterally set far too high. This has led to very expensive compulsory energy measures with far too little savings effect.’

In new building construction, for example, the Efficiency House 40 standard will be mandatory from next year on, and a sustainability certificate will also be required. Many project developers view the requirements as being hardly feasible against the background of high construction costs. The Ministry of Housing, Urban Development and Construction nevertheless intends to stick to its current strategy. ‘We will do everything we can in the new year to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions in construction, remodeling, renovation and housing,’ said a spokeswoman. There continues to be ‘great potential for reduction.’ That’s why the federal government is currently working on an “immediate program.’”
