German Green Minister President Blasts Own Party’s E-Car Target As “Nonsense”… “You Don’t Have a Clue!”

The following German Green Party national convention video is very amusing.

It shows a highly agitated Minister President of the state Baden Württemberg, Winfried Kretschmann, very angrily blasting the Green Party’s “radical” call to eliminate fossil fuel cars in Germany by 2030 at a recent Green Party convention.

Kretschmann is clearly fed up with his party’s radical, ideological ideas.

Kretschmann today is one of the Green Party’s most prolific figures – the first Green Party member ever to become a state Minister, and that in a state that is considered a rather conservative one.

Ban fossil fuel cars by 2030

The video first features Green Party Chairperson Anton Hofreiter, a radical Green in just about every sense of the word, raging about the government protecting the evil auto industry, calling for radical measures against it and the elimination of fossil fuel cars by 2030.

At 0:32 we then see Kretschmann reacting in disbelief to the absurd demands made Hofreiter and the Green Party, and we see Kretschamnn explaining to a fellow Green Party Parliamentarian Matthias Gastel why the demand is ao ridiculous.

As usual now comes Hofreiter with his wonderful story about Tesla. […] But just think about it for a moment. Imagine 5 million electric cars driving around. Where are they supposed to charge up?”

Then he explains to Parliamentarian Gastel how Germany is not be even anywhere close to having enough charging stations to handle 5 millions electric cars.

At 1.18 he asks, becoming very agitated:

How is that supposed to work? You guys don’t have a clue!

Yet the people say that beginning in the year 2030, we can do all this. Those are idiotic target dates. If some asks: Explain to me how we are supposed to do this by this date, I can’t even begin to answer that. […]

We indeed have to figure out how it should work before spouting off radical statements. You can go ahead and do it. Do it! I don’t care! But then simply be happy with 6 or 8% [at the polls]. I used to be on the Party Advisory Board. I said it ten times: Okay, you can agree on that. But then be happy with 8 percent.” And then don’t go around complaining, and leave me alone! And do your campaign yourselves!

You guys always have something crazy in your head, without seeing the whole process. You can do what you want, but with myself as Minister President, I’m not doing it.”

Gastel ‘s resposnse to Kretschmann’s rant was almost as classic, and he let’s slip the true plot of the Green Party.

Winfried, the different roles at play here are clear to me. But we as a fraction in the German Parliament are serving our own clientel, and we are trying to expand it.”

At 2:37 the film switches to Green Party head Cem Özdemir, who claims the party is as unified as ever.

Expect the German Greens to remain at between 6 and 8 percent.

Climate Science Peer Review Is Complete Garbage

via The Deplorable Climate Science Blog

A brand new peer reviewed study says the number of days per year with killer heat in the US is going to skyrocket.

Study shows deadly heat waves are becoming more frequent – Chicago Tribune

The study doesn’t specify what temperature killer heat occurs at, but regardless of what that temperature is, the claim is incorrect. The frequency of 90 degree days in the US has declined sharply over the past century.

The frequency of 95 degree days in the US has declined sharply over the past century.

The frequency of 100 degree days in the US has declined sharply over the past century.

The frequency of 105 degree days in the US has declined sharply over the past century.

The author cherry picked a start data of 1980 after the cold 1970’s, but that doesn’t work either. All trends since 1980 are also downwards.

There is – quite literally – zero evidence backing up the article’s claims. In fact all available data shows the exact opposite of the author’s conclusions. There is no question that the frequency of hot days in the US is declining and has been for a century.

The fact that such wildly fraudulent garbage can get through peer review in climate science shows how corrupt the field is. In climate science, the only thing that matters is that you produce a conclusion which supports global warming theory.

The article also complains of temperatures in Northern California up to 106 degrees – as if that was unusual and due to global warming.. On this date in 1929, temperatures were 110 in Northern California and 122 in Southern California. Temperatures were 120 degrees in the Phoenix area. CO2 was 305 PPM.

Climate science has nothing to do with science, and is the biggest scam in history.

NOAA: Another Quiet Year For U.S. Tornadoes, And Much Weaker Than In The 1970s

via The Global Warming Policy Forum (GWPF)

NOAA have been very slow in releasing the final tornado data for 2016, but it is finally out now. As the provisional indicated at the time, last year was another very quiet year for tornadoes, and continued the pattern of a lower level compared to the 1970s.

Perhaps even more marked is the decline in the number of really strong tornadoes.

http://ift.tt/1lhlncv

There were no EF-5 events (the strongest category) at all last year, the third year in succession for that. There were also only two EF-4s, which normally average eight a year.

You would guess none of this from NOAA’s State of the Climate Report, which fraudulently includes the weakest EF-0 tornadoes.
