I searched but didn't find this topic by itself, though it seems to be creeping into every thread.

Leading geologist Prof. Ian Plimer: There is "absolutely no evidence whatsoever" that CO₂ drives global warming.​

"If we're looking at modern warming, we've got to be able to look at what's happened with past warmings, and how these past warmings have been natural."
"We see no evidence from the past that carbon dioxide drives warming. Absolutely no evidence whatsoever."
"The whole popular paradigm that this plant food... drives global warming, we see no evidence for that."

The Sequel to The Fall of The Cabal - Part 28: CLIMATE CRISIS?​

This episode is all about the current 'mega-crisis' that will make the Covid-crisis pale in comparison: The Climate emergency that will destroy our planet and humanity, unless we pay a lot of CO2-tax. How did the Cabal get us to belief their impertinent CO2 lies? By using fraudulent 'scientists' and the MSM, as always. Does Climate Change exist? Of course! It's a natural phenomenon. Is there a Climate Emergency? No. You don't believe us? Then let's listen to the real scientists, the ones who refuse to be bribed into silence and who risk their careers by sticking to the Truth. It's about time they get to tell their side of the story, don't you think?

61* this morning on the Treasure Coast in FL. It was like that here in 2003 when I first moved 2 hours north out of Ft. Lauderdale. The a/c got turned off in November and back on again the last week in April.

In the 20teens it got a liitle warmer with a few cold snaps into the 30s, but overall warmer. Lately we had earlier and more frequent weeks in the 40s and now perfect Northern Cali style weather with a liitlemore humidityand a few highs in the 80s.during the day.
 
Lotta laws / regulations being enacted in the shipping industry concerning climate change. Example:

IMO Makes History with First Global Carbon Pricing Scheme for Shipping, Despite Mixed Reactions

In a landmark decision, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has approved the world’s first meaningful global carbon pricing scheme for the shipping industry, marking a significant step toward maritime decarbonization....
gcaptain.com gcaptain.com

Don't know what to make of the regs and laws coming out about this. Most of the stuff I've read comes outta Europe and seems very costly for businesses. Wonder what the money / taxes would actually be used for?
 
Global warming will NEVER be affected by the taxes I pay.

Neither the next Ice age...
 
Whatever happened to the swine flu, Legionnaire's disease and other outbreaks from the past? Did Climate Change cure them?

Petrostates, electrostates, and the energy transition​

Gerard Reid of the Redefining Energy podcast visits the Energy Gang

Is the global transition to low-carbon energy accelerating or slowing down? One answer is that it depends where you look. In the US, energy policy has shifted away from support for low-carbon technologies, but China is continuing with record installations of solar, wind, and batteries, and record sales of EVs. With AI emerging as the central arena for great power completion, which model will work best at providing the power the new technologies need?

The AI revolution will be the most transformative change in human history. That’s according to Gerard Reid, this week’s guest, a veteran energy commentator and co-founder of the advisory firm Alexa Capital. Gerard, who also co-hosts the podcast Redefining Energy, says he thinks AI will reinvent the world’s energy system. There is a widening gulf between ‘petrostates’ such as the US, which are rich in oil and gas and favor fossil fuels, and the ‘electrostates’, led by China, which is dominates global manufacturing for technologies such as solar panels, batteries and EVs.

Europe, which is relatively resource-poor, is following China’s path out of necessity, while India and others weigh up which model to adopt. Gerard, host Ed Crooks and regular guest Amy Myers-Jaffe debate the different approaches that different countries are taking to build secure energy systems that will be able to meet growing demand for electricity for AI.

Minimal Arctic Sea Ice Loss in the Last 20 Years, Consistent With Internal Climate Variability​

Abstract​

Over the past two decades, Arctic sea ice loss has slowed considerably, with no statistically significant decline in September sea ice area since 2005. This pause is robust across observational data sets, metrics, and seasons. Large-ensemble CMIP5 and CMIP6 simulations reveal that such periods with minimal sea ice decline under increasing greenhouse gas emissions are not unusual. Analysis of ensemble members that simulate analogs of the observed pause indicates that the current slowdown could plausibly persist another five to 10 years, although the chances of a faster-than-average decline are increased in the near-future. The modeling evidence suggests that internal variability has substantially offset anthropogenically forced sea ice loss in recent decades. Overall, this observed pause in Arctic sea ice decline is consistent with simulated internal variability superimposed on the long-term trend according to the bulk of the climate modeling evidence.

NASA Analysis Shows Sun’s Activity Ramping Up
NASA

The Sun has become increasingly active since 2008, a new NASA study shows. Solar activity is known to fluctuate in cycles of 11 years, but there are longer-term variations that can last decades. Case in point: Since the 1980s, the amount of solar activity had been steadily decreasing all the way up to 2008, when solar activity was the weakest on record. At that point, scientists expected the Sun to be entering a period of historically low activity. But then the Sun reversed course and started to become increasingly active.

The earliest recorded tracking of solar activity began in the early 1600s, when astronomers, including Galileo, counted sunspots and documented their changes. Over the centuries that people have been studying solar activity, the quietest times were a three-decade stretch from 1645 to 1715 and a four-decade stretch from 1790 to 1830. “We don’t really know why the Sun went through a 40-year minimum starting in 1790,” said Jamie Jasinski of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “The longer-term trends are a lot less predictable and are something we don’t completely understand yet.”

+======+======+======+======+======+======+======+

We better send a psychiatrist up to the sun and talk it into behaving.
Prolly work better than refreezing the Arctic or filling the atmosphere with reflective matter or getting rid of all the internal combustion engines.

:rolleyes::rolleyes: Utterly astonishing that the left adopted this ignorant little moron as some sort of savant/light bringer. One wonders what is going to be her next act as the climate farce, and now the Hamas farce have all but fallen flat, face first. As my wife says,...... Wimin!!! :unsure:o_O and especially young Wimin. ............................ STFU and go get a hair cut....... :mad:
 
Was she talking about covid vaccines, genocide, climate change or lgbtq rights? Poor girl. Misled and still not thinking.

“When you are young and not a democrat, you have no heart. When you are old and not a republican, you have no brain.”
—oversimplified but the point is accurate

I watched the vid and can't tell if she was real or acting. If she was real I think she's nuts. Normal teens ( male or female) don't talk about stuff like that unless they have certain problems. Most are into the opposite sex, getting a job (money), getting wheels (freedom) and other normal stuff. Not talking about extinction, doomsday, and holding people accountable for bringing the end of the world upon them. lol

If she was acting............my god, she's good! lol
 

Who’s Getting Rich Off Climate Change?​

Oct 20, 2025 The Financial History Files
Some people still argue about whether climate change is real. The market doesn’t. It’s already cashing in.
From carbon credits to catastrophe bonds, from billion-dollar ESG funds to China’s control of rare earth metals — the climate crisis has become the most profitable business model in history. What began as a fight to save the planet has turned into a financial empire built on fear, speculation, and green branding.
From carbon credits to catastrophe bonds, from billion-dollar ESG funds to China’s control of rare earth metals — the climate crisis has become the most profitable business model in history. What began as a fight to save the planet has turned into a financial empire built on fear, speculation, and green branding.
Topics covered:
• The rise of carbon markets and the trade in pollution rights
• How ESG investing became Wall Street’s new religion
• Why catastrophe bonds and “climate alpha” attract hedge funds
• China’s rare-earth monopoly and the new green geopolitics
• How governments turned environmental policy into industrial profit

I noticed it was 73* today 10-20-25 in Sebastian, FL when only a few months ago it was literally 85*. You must the thing about the science. You know what I'm talking about folks?
 
I hope it doesn't get colder...I left my parka and snowshoes in New York...
 
Article about a volcano on Umnak island with a six mile diameter calder: supposedly blew up in 43BC and helped the fall of Roman Republic. Caused famine in Egypt and lowered temps by 7 degrees!! One big volcano in Alaska. The fake climatologists are worried about 1 degree moves. There is a lot of volcanoes but the scare mongers keep saying humans have 60 times the annual effect on climate that volcanoes do.
(Not talking “greenhouse gas” but general effect.)

They are about as logical with climate change as they were with covid response.
Is hoodwinkery a word?


Mount Okmok
 
Just back from Turkey. Visited Ephesus which still has a remnant of one of the seven wonders of the world (Temple of Artemis.) The ruined and being-restored ancient city was once a port. One of the reasons contributing to its abandonment is it is now seven miles from the ocean.

Went to Thermopylae, Greece two years ago where the (300) Spartans held off the Persian army between the mountainside and inlet due to the narrow strip of land. That section of land is a mile wide now.

Went to Pisa to see the tower. That was a port when the tower was built and now it is seven miles from the water.

Two years ago the ancient city Lagash was in the news cause some discovered urns in an old tavern had some foodstuffs to be studied. It was noted that Lagash was close to the Persian gulf at the time but is now over a hundred miles from it. Wiki notes the retreat of the sea as a reason for Lagash’s decline in importance.

In Turkey the town of Colossae is not dug out yet. It is ON a small hill under meters of debris/duff. All these old cities require excavation.

Point is: the earth changes. Fast. Two thousand years is nothing. So much scare regarding global warming/climate change and sea levels.
 
When I get new tires for my cars or trucks, I take the old ones home with me. This not only saves me the tire disposal fee on each tire, but it also gives me something to burn every April 22 on Earth Day. I throw them on my burn pile and soak them with five gallons of diesel and enjoy a couple of adult beverages while they pour black smoke into the sky. I know that I will never attain the carbon footprint of Al Gore or John Kerry as they take their private jets around the world preaching that we should all be riding bicycles, but I feel that every little bit helps.

The climate has always changed.

It always will.

It’s a dynamic system that can change all on its own without our assistance.

It isn’t supposed to stay static.

Global warming theory, as it pertains to anthropogenic influence, has become an unfalsifiable hypothesis because everything that goes boo in nature is supposedly incontrovertible evidence of it. More rain. Less rain. More cold. Less cold. More snow. Less snow. More stormy weather. Less stormy weather. Catastrophic warming. Now catastrophic cooling from speculated figure ocean current collapse.

This is pseudoscience masquerading as rigorous research when anyone with half a brain can see right through your buIIshit.

:iagree: :iagree:


There is no such thing as a stable climate on a planet that has a liquid atmosphere.
