Live at 1 p.m. Eastern: The Sun and Climate Change — The Climate Realism Show #151

The scientific community and the media are focused almost exclusively by how greenhouse gas emissions affect the climate — from power plants to automobiles to your fireplace to your gas stove, and even cow farts. But what about that big ball of gas in the sky? Why does it get short shrift when it comes to the causes of climate change?

The Heartland Institute’s Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, Jim Lakely will discuss this topic, asked for by many of the show’s fans, with one of the leading solar and climate experts in the world: Dr. Willie Soon. We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including a global warming conference that got snowed in, how climate change is affecting your naps, a promise by the crazies in Just Stop Oil to cease all its childish “direct action” to save the planet, and a debunking of human-caused climate change causing cherry blossoms to bloom too early.

Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET for Episode 151 of The Climate Realism show and we will answer your questions in the chat.

Public Accounts Committee Concerned About Clean Power 2030

By Paul Homewood

h/t Ian Cunningham

The PAC is now getting worried about Miliband’s lunatic Clean Power plans:

Their latest report states:

They have every reason to be concerned.

As independent experts have long pointed out, NESO’s numbers do not stack up, particularly if demand increases as much as predicted.

At best their plan makes us dangerously reliant on imports and demand reduction. And at its heart, it assumes we keep open and ticking over all of our current gas fired capacity.

I see no evidence of DESNZ taking action to ensure this. Simply muddling through a year at a time, which is what the Capacity Market auctions essentially do, is not good enough. What are needed are long term 15-year contracts to secure all existing capacity that can keep going on that long, plus a rapid build out of new CCGT capacity incentivised by generous long term capacity contracts.

In an effort to minimise the effects of climate change, countries in the developed world are chasing net-zero at all costs, causing high energy prices and reduced energy consumption. The problem? In this video, Bjorn Lomborg explains how, across the world, it is countries with the highest energy consumption that create the most wealth, and it is those with the most wealth that are most able to care for the environment. By enacting policies that reduce energy availability and increase cost, the ‘net-zero’ agenda is preventing the very thing it aims to achieve.

Copenhagen Consensus Centre President Bjorn Lomborg says countries are spending an “enormous amount of money” on the climate issue and doing “almost nothing”.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has signalled Australia will not follow the US in leaving the Paris climate agreement if they win the election.

“We should fix climate smartly, but right now we are just fixing it stupidly,” Mr Lomborg told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“It is increasingly becoming obvious to voters and to politicians that this is not the right way to go about it.”
