Climate Change / DAVID BLACKMON: Having Biden Declare A Climate Emergency Is A Crazy Idea
« Last post by rangerrebew on Today at 10:58:52 am »DAVID BLACKMON: Having Biden Declare A Climate Emergency Is A Crazy Idea
DAVID BLACKMON
DAVID BLACKMON IS AN ENERGY WRITER AND CONSULTANT BASED IN TEXAS. HE SPENT 40 YEARS IN THE OIL AND GAS BUSINESS, WHERE HE SPECIALIZED IN PUBLIC POLICY AND COMMUNICATIONS.
April 21, 2024
I recorded a podcast this week in which the host told me I am an “outlier” for being willing to write the truth about the destructive nature of the Biden administration’s energy policies. It was one of the kindest things anyone has ever said to me, frankly.
So, I guess I will be an outlier again when I write that the idea being considered again by White House officials of having President Biden declare a climate emergency so he can implement a draconian crackdown on the domestic oil and gas industry is frankly crazy. That’s the truth.
Bloomberg reported Thursday that unnamed officials inside the White House said the idea of declaring a climate emergency, first considered in 2021 and again in 2022, is once again under consideration. The only “emergency,” of course, is the president’s flagging approval ratings among impressionable young voters that threaten to derail his re-election chances. Declaring a climate emergency would arm the president with dictatorial powers to hamstring the domestic industry more than his regulators and hundreds of executive orders have already managed to do.

Climate Change / Monday Mirthiness: A Reversed Ode to the St. Greta Believers

Never mind the varying tilt of the earth’s axis
Nor its changing elliptical orbit around the sun
Never mind the mighty fireball’s great flares and fluctuating cosmic rays
That shape the planet earth’s clouds
Nor the cycles — stretching for years, decades, centuries — of circulations in the seas and the atmosphere above
Never mind the earthquakes, the volcanoes

Climate Change / The War On Cars

APRIL 22, 2024
By Paul Homewood
As you know, I have been warning about this for years:
In a fit of self-loathing, the European Union has begun to destroy the economic engine that pays its bills. Some of this is well known, but some is not, and it will astonish you.
Only nine of the EU’s 27 member states are net budget contributors, and Germany pays the most – around €25bn (£22bn) in 2021. Without the generosity of the Bundesrepublik, the European Commission would struggle to keep the lights on at the Berlaymont.
In turn, that wealth comes from its manufacturing industry. Specifically, from strong global demand for the German vehicles which account for almost three-fifths of Europe’s car exports. As recently as a decade ago, the streets of Shanghai and Shenzhen teemed with German brand SUVs.
So you would think that the regulators in Brussels would show some care to the delicate vase they’re carrying across the room. But not a bit of it.

World News / Biden Administration Trying to Implement Its Own ‘Pandemic Treaty’
« Last post by Elderberry on Today at 10:46:26 am »Legal Insurrection by Leslie Eastman April 22, 2024
Team Biden is is using the monkeypox outbreak in the Congo as the rationale for the “Global Health Security Strategy”.
I have been covering the recent attempts by the media and Big Government entities to gin up fear and angst over the bird flu and monkeypox.
In a previous post, I noted that the World Health Organization’s attempts to persuade countries to agree to the terms of a pandemic treaty have been floundering. Essentially, it is because no sane nation wants to hand over control of its population to activist bureaucrats who use pseudoscience to implement liberty-crushing, economy-destroying, nonsense policies.
Been there. Done that.
In fact, it appears the Republican party was gearing up to make this treaty an issue in the upcoming election.
“The COVID-19 pandemic showed us that the WHO is not the preeminent global health institution that perhaps it once was,” said Rep. Brad Wenstrup, R-Ohio, who chairs the House Oversight and Accountability Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic. “Politics should never have a place in science.”
…[A] growing coalition of Republicans on Capitol Hill, as well as supporters of former President Donald Trump, have been rallying against the treaty. During a news conference Monday on Capitol Hill, Reps. Christopher H. Smith, R-N.J., and Wenstrup argued the treaty is too political and relies too heavily on financial support from U.S. taxpayers.
Tony Perkins, president of the conservative Family Research Council, called the draft “a global power grab” that forces progressive social policies on countries.
However, the allure of control to the power-mongering members of the Biden administration is like catnip to a cat. So, it’s coming up with its version of a “pandemic treaty“.
…Biden’s administration will help 50 countries identify and respond to infectious diseases, with the goal of preventing pandemics like the COVID-19 outbreak that suddenly halted normal life around the globe in 2020.

Climate Change / Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem.
« Last post by rangerrebew on Today at 10:42:08 am »Rooftop solar panels are flooding California’s grid. That’s a problem.

In sunny California, solar panels are everywhere. They sit in dry, desert landscapes in the Central Valley and are scattered over rooftops in Los Angeles’s urban center. By last count, the state had nearly 47 gigawatts of solar power installed — enough to power 13.9 million homes and provide over a quarter of the Golden State’s electricity.
But now, the state and its grid operator are grappling with a strange reality: There is so much solar on the grid that, on sunny spring days when there’s not as much demand, electricity prices go negative. Gigawatts of solar are “curtailed” — essentially, thrown away.
In response, California has cut back incentives for rooftop solar and slowed the pace of installing panels. But the diminishing economic returns may slow the development of solar in a state that has tried to move to renewable energy. And as other states build more and more solar plants of their own, they may soon face the same problems.
