The Institute is pleased to release today a new report -CCS Ready Policy and Regulations – The State of Play.
We bet they are but that doesn’t make CCS any less stupid an idea than it was yesterday. It is a massive waste of energy for no useful purpose. Don’t do it. Continue reading

Wow! And only at a loss of 25% efficiency. Continue reading
In many parts of the country, this summer was one of the hottest in history. The Twin Cities tied a record stretch of 39 days at or above 80 degrees. Continue reading

Cute attempt by Mr Forbes but overlooks the simple fact that water precipitates out of the atmosphere, giving it an obvious self-limiting mechanism and making it significantly different from CO2. His alternates are not exactly water-free either. Continue reading

Earlier this month, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee issued a staff report on the Obama Administration’s fuel economy/greenhouse gas (GHG) regulatory program. Continue reading

Many marine species will be harmed or won’t survive if the levels of carbon dioxide continue to increase.
Current protection policies and management practices are unlikely to be enough to save them. Unconventional, non-passive methods to conserve marine ecosystems need to be considered if various marine species are to survive. Continue reading
It looks like good news, but it’s not. The US has recorded a sharp fall in its greenhouse gas emissions from energy use. Thanks to a rise in the use of natural gas, emissions are at their lowest since 1992. The fall will boost the natural gas industry, but in reality the emissions have simply been exported. Continue reading

This post continues a theme I covered in my book Power Plays. Part 1 covered the impact on oil price and supply in Petroleum Demand in Developing Countries. Here I discuss some of the climate change implications. Continue reading

“Capturing Carbon: Removing greenhouse gases from coal-powered electricity generation—and starting now—could mean major benefits“
What utter rubbish. Stopping all U.S. coal-fired CO2 emissions for 90 years only makes a difference of 0.15 °C assuming the most outrageous global warming sensitivity. And they omit the horrendous cost of transporting and injecting plant food where plants can’t benefit from it. There is absolutely no upside to carbon constraint.
Climate modelers need to stop believing their model output is “data” and realize they are full of crap. Enhanced greenhouse is another problem that never was. Continue reading
Ever since Gordon Hughes’ report noted that wind power was more likely to produce more carbon dioxide emissions than gas, I have been looking for the figures behind the claim. Continue reading

For a guy who knows a lot about how shoddy is the “research” underpinning “global warming” claims he sure is awfully, um… Canadian. Check out this non sequitur:
“CO2 is rising, so let’s get busy with cheaper-than-coal low-carbon energy“
So CO2 is rising, what about it? If green plants had the vote you can pretty much guarantee they’d vote for more CO2, not less. And all we consumers dependent on the primary production of green plants ought give serious consideration to the views held by the photosynthetic classes. Continue reading
Lemons, sour as ever. “Remember global warming? You know, that worldwide disaster we were all so worried about way back in 2011?“
Well actually, Lemons, we’ve never worried about it because examination of the “issue” has always shown it to be unworthy of a second thought. Every time someone gets their knickers in a knot we have another look to see if any evidence has turned up yet and all we ever find is yet more garbage PlayStation® climatology and pointless panic. Time you panic merchants either put up or shut up. Continue reading

A climate skeptic group that drew widespread criticism — and lost some corporate funding — by comparing belief in global warming to the Unabomber’s views is trying to regain momentum in its battle against carbon controls. Continue reading

Extreme weather has visited Kevin Mainord’s farm business twice in the past two years. In 2011 a wall of water deluged his corn and soyabean fields after US authorities blasted a levee to relieve flooding on the Mississippi river. This year brought drought and weeks of devastating heat. Continue reading

MPs are plotting to overthrow the Conservative chairman of the energy and climate change committee because of his links to the green power industry. Tory MP Tim Yeo rakes in almost £140,000 a year from the controversial industry while juggling his role as chairman of the select committee. Continue reading

What, pray, is “excess carbon dioxide”? Do they mean sufficient resource to enable greater biosphere exploitation, usually termed “primary production”? Continue reading
