I've been begging Alex, in comments, for months to make climate change his next target for investigation.

It's the same exact playbook.

If I ever get an elevator ride with RFK Jr, I'd love to ask him how he can be so lucid on vaccines and fall over the same exact rake with climate change!

There are numerous others with the chops to challenge the Greeners. No one has RFK's chops to challenge the vaccinators. He is doing the most good by staying in his lane, IMHO.

The point is that it's fascinating to me RFK can be so red-pilled about corruption, regulatory capture, scientific fraud, etc., when it comes to vaccines and so blue-pilled and naive when it comes to climate change, where the exact same tactics have been used.

Climate change is real! Climate change is real!

Expand full comment

Is that your whole argument? Kinda easy to penetrate. Because the climate changes doesn't mean humans are not changing it. Logic right? But how much are they changing it, and more than that, if it is changing radically, how are we to prepare? Shit is happening. You have to be in denial and hang with others who are. Insects disappearing is one that freaks me out and i see it where i live. Massive dye off of many species. Midwest aquifers drying up. That's going to impact food production as if it isn't already impacted in many ways. It all might be a conspiracy of the elites, though many are a result of industrial civilization. That is the heart of the issue for conservative. Industrial civilization is under threat. Many believe we can go on like this for another century and thrive and they have to videos to prove it. Their biases draw them towards commentators who will tell them what they want. Full disclosure: we all do that. My bias is away from industrial civilization and towards a more ruralified life. But i'll support anyone who is against war and state authoritarianism.

"You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time."

Frankly, to speak cogently on any of these topics require in depth studying, and dealing intelligently with the whole climate change thing is a huge without any easy ask.

Heck, getting fluoride out of municipal water is a super easy ask, and we've been tilting at that windmill for decades. We might be about to get somewhere with it, but it has taken enormous effort.

Vaccinations are harder than fluoridation, but still has an easy ask.

Wireless radiation damage from Smart Meters, networks and devices is harder, but still something that needs urgent attention. Bobby is on that one, too, and it is related to Climate Change Greenwashing.

We need multiple leaders, not just Bobby, to deal with the corruption and regulatory capture.

I agree with you, all I am saying is, think of the enormity of all of this, it would be impossible to tackle it all at once, also there ARE many environmental problems, climate change from people isn’t one of them, there has always been climate change. It sure would be great if we could stop big industry from killing everything on earth though wouldn’t it? Many of the same evil doers are responsible for that too.

I don't think that's what happen. A Russian Secret Agent, let's call him Yuri, brought a laptop into a repair shop in Wilmington, DE and he pretended to be Hunter Biden. On the laptop were incriminating photos of Hunter Biden sniffing coke off of prostitutes' rear-ends. This was all part of the Russian disinformation campaign. No one knows how or why the Russians would do this. It's believed that the file on this secret operation is part of the National Archives and it was at Trump's mar-a-lago and is now in the hands of the FBI. We all know that Trump is a Russian spy and according to the women on The View, he's also a liar and a thief.

The US did have excess deaths in 2020 also but not due to any unique epidemiological event.

In 2020 the excess can mainly be attributed to the mass medical murders in nursing homes and hospitals and the impacts of lockdowns and social dislocation.

Here's the exact data:

United States reported 3,353,787 deaths, for the 52 weeks of year 2020 (all years of age). Expected deaths were 2,920,345. That is an increase of +433,442 deaths (+14.8%).

United States reported 3,457,517 deaths for the 52 weeks of year 2021 (all years of age). Expected deaths were 2,947,287. That is an increase of +510,230 deaths (+17.3%).

Year to date, United States reported 2,548,784 deaths for the 41 weeks of year 2022 (all years of age). Expected deaths were 2,338,304. That is an increase of +210,480 deaths (+9.0%).

Right. And yet those media aholes aren't smart enough to realize (or they know their consumers are too stupid to figure out) that ONLY the jabbed are dying of stress. The purebloods aren't having heart attacks and blood clots from the "stress" of being dehumanized for not taking the experimental drug, from the stress of being ostracized, from the stress of losing their jobs.

SC, My, but you have a lot on your mind today. I am constantly befuddled at the apparent outright dismissal of Climate Change on these predominantly US stacks.

I am under no illusions that the same nefarious evil psychos behind the scamdemic have not hijacked the climate agenda for their own gains.

But that does not make it fundamentally untrue.

I have studied the issue extensively for over four years to the same extent as the current scamdemic. What is your opinion based on? We're all experiencing the power of propaganda and mass psychosis.

There are huge powerful forces on both sides of this argument and the deniers only have to create the slightest doubt. Ultimately one side is right and one side is wrong. The stakes couldn't be higher. We've never trashed the whole planet before, so maybe keep an open mind, at least for now?

Expand full comment

I'd start by asking what you mean by "dismissal of Climate Change", because recognizing the vacuity of that statement might help orient things.

Does climate change mean the climate changes? Because nobody would disagree with that. It's the strawman of strawmen.

Or, does it mean, *predicted* catastrophic increases in temperature (literally) decades from now is causing every weather calamity that befalls us today and that the only way to relieve your anxiety over that is to give massive amounts of money and power to Democrats so they implement policies they've always wanted to implement, which will solve climate change, hurray! (Even though China and India are still going to be emitting massive amounts of CO2 that dwarf anything the US is doing today, but don't pay attention to that).

Expand full comment

Tommy, Thanks for responding. I suspect this is not the place to discuss this as it is off-topic but it is so often treated as a joke here.

What I mean is man-made climate change, caused by emitting Gigatons of greenhouse gases which warm the planet.

The global temperature has already risen by 1.2 degrees, 2-3 times more in the Arctic, and we are already experiencing more extreme and more frequent weather events all around the world.

It transcends political parties of any country and national borders by definition - it's global. To give us any chance of mitigating and reducing the effects we all have to systematically change otherwise we will be doomed as our life support systems collapse. And 'decades from now' is still within the expected lifetime of my children.

A famous British comedian did a sketch on climate, recycling etc. He said he used to follow the rules until he went to the state's - and thought WTF! It got a big laugh. Here in UK we only contribute to 1% globally but we all need to do our bit because if it isn't already too late we are in borrowed time.

There is SO much green washing and governmental and corporate crap spouted by both sides - but it doesn't stop the main central threat being true: the planet is warming and we are the cause. Peace.

You might be locally, but this is global. Other parts of the world e.g. parts of India, are periodically approaching wet bulb status = too hot to sustain human life.

But it's not just about getting hotter per se, it's the effect on all the weather patterns and extremes, of heat, cold, drought, flood, wind etc.

Expand full comment

The same is true globally. Canada and Russia, for example.

Expand full comment

The global temperature has risen by 1.2 degrees *since when*? Temperatures have been mostly flat for the last 20 years and are no warmer in the US than they were in the 1930s or 1940s.

We are NOT experiencing more extreme and more frequent weather events. You can read Dr. Pielke's dismantling of that. But, more importantly, a mild 1.2 degrees of warming back to where we were 80 years ago wouldn't cause it anyway. You have been tricked into thinking the catastrophic warming doomsayers are predicting years from now, and which they say will cause more extreme weather, is actually causing more extreme weather today. It's not entirely your fault. If you read articles about a hurricane or whatever, they say things like, "this is what we can expect from climate change".

But, you don't get the catastrophic fallout from unprecedented warming without...unprecedented warming.

The question of whether more CO2 will warm the planet is the question, so if you just go ahead and assert that's the case, that's literal question begging. Have you ever asked yourself, has CO2 been higher than it is today? Have temperatures been higher? What happened to life on the planet then? How well have the models being used to predict global warming done at predicting the last 20 years?

You haven't even begun to scratch the surface of the arguments against this nonsense.

Expand full comment

It's already happening. The arctic is increasingly melting and global weather patterns are changing fast.

The weather, ie day to day temperatures, is not the same as global temperature. It's a different caclulation.

CO2 is not the only greenhouse gas - methane is much, much worse and is also rising fast. Siberia is thawing!

Of course the climate models are inaccurate - we haven't done this before - it may not be linear. There could be catastrophic tipping points.

Of course the global temperature has previously been much higher and CO2 many times higher, but not when 7 billion humans have basically taken over the whole world.

We are apparently using the resources of 1.7 planets. It is completely unsustainable and we ignore it at our peril.

I have spent years studying this with global experts who I believe are comparable in intellect and knowledge with the amazing people who have saved us here from the nonsense of covid.

Either they are all wrong, I am an idiot and you are right, or perhaps just maybe it deserves some more of your time. Peace

Expand full comment

Setting aside the research showing weather events aren't getting more severe, you just said the global temperature has risen by 1.2 degrees (you declined to say since when). Satellite data show warming trends of 0.13 degree per decade since the late 70s. *That's not nearly enough to cause the extreme weather of CAGW*. Temperatures haven't accelerated, they've mostly flatlined the last 20 years. If whether events have gotten more extreme, it's in spite of it not warming, not because it has been warming.

The arctic is NOT increasingly melting. It has gained ice for the past decade: https://notrickszone.com/2022/07/26/climatologists-embarrassed-increase-in-global-co2-levels-accompanied-by-arctic-sea-ice-growth/. Ice extent is about what it was in the 40s. The dishonest media will show you trends from the late 70s, which was a highpoint.

If the models are inaccurate, then there's no basis to believe global warming theory because the whole theory is built on models, feedback cycles, and parameter tuning. If you'd studied for years with experts, you would probably know that.

The whole bit about "humans taking over the world" to dismiss the fact that temperatures and CO2 have been much higher without consequence is quite a non sequitur.

I am not impressed by your experts, just as I wasn't impressed with the COVID experts. We know how that turned out. Like the COVID experts, they shunned, shamed, mocked, etc., dissenting voices. Like COVID, climate change is a massive propaganda campaign. You believe outright lies and absurdities and can't break out of the nonsense to see it.

The simple fact is that we're over carrying capacity for the planet with the no of people and our lifestyles.

That's not a "simple fact". It's an opinion, and one that people have had for centuries. They've *all* been wrong in part because they radically underestimate human ingenuity.

125 years ago, a major concern was overcrowding in cities and what to do with all the horse manure. People were worried about how they'd light their homes when whale oil ran out. They worried about running out of firewood, and then they worried about running out of coal.

The US is sitting on an ocean of natural gas. Known Uranium deposits could power the entire world for thousands of years. A nuclear + hydrogen economy would power us for millenia. Can you imagine what could be invented in that period of time?

Goto Our World in Data and look at crop yields over the last 50 years. It's amazing, and we're probably just getting started.

You literally live in the most prosperous era in the history of human kind and you worry like this? One thing that could bring us down are idiot politicians and their coercive programs of scarcity and warfare, like they've been doing for thousands of years.

Expand full comment

Hi Tommy, I often think of the whale oil example, and the fact that we were almost the cause of whales going extinct. We always seem to exploit everything to destruction - look at tuna and sharks today...

I also think of wars in the same way: in days of yore two men with swords could only kill each other. Now two men could blow up the whole planet.

We have moved on with our capacity for mass destruction and the thing is with the planet's systems is that by the time the effects become apparent it will be too late to do anything about it.

I agree with your point on our capacity to invent when needed, yet still we do stupid things - and all for money. Look at Hydrogen, you can make it the green way (solar) or the blue way (natural gas) which have hugely different CO2 implications. And which way do you think Australia are making it? (Sorry, no prizes.)

And every time the crops yields rise (usually destroying the soil and all insect life with chemicals - like glyphosate) the world's population increases and makes all the other problems even worse.

Totally agree we need a new power source - and Now! Peace.

But, as we've already covered, I don't think CO2 is a problem at all. It's a colorless, harmless, gas to animals and a fertilizer to plants. It's maddening, but after the decades of propaganda, it's probably unlikely to red-pill anyone about how silly the CAGW idea is.

There are two fundamental problems with this Malthusian world view you guys seem to have. The first is, you've mostly forgotten or never learned about the existential crisis humans used to face, because those problem have been solved and we generally don't think about solved problems. Two guys with a sword is a nice euphemism for what was, in reality, the equivalent idea that a marauding army could destroy what you considered to be your whole world. The second problem is that the solution to our current problems are in the future and as yet unknown. So, past solutions are forgotten or diminished and future solutions aren't apparent, so you're heavily biased toward despair.

Your fears about 'planet systems', etc, are bordering on neurotic. It hasn't happened before, certainly not due to CO2, and it's not happening now outside of computer models built by scientists funded by people who want you to believe in CAGW. It is thoroughly corrupt.

The world's population has already peaked. It's far more likely our biggest problems in 30 years will be due to the demographic shift of too few young people and too few old people. Japan may not even exist in 50 years because of it.

Expand full comment

Tommy, Tommy, Tommy... I'm really enjoying our 'chat' - Thank you. I do hope you're not an Agent Provocateur? I don't consider myself neurotic at all - I just read lots and try and process stuff. I try to keep an open mind as much as possible: is there really anything such as Truth?

I respond:

CO2 was 280ppm pre industrial revolution, 350ppm by the time I was born and is now 415ppm - it's going up. And so is methane. Apparently levels have been massively higher in the past and this is our sixth extinction level event.

(I watched something once where this scientist was saying without CO2 the earth would be 30 degrees cooler so we do need it. I listen to both sides)

Are you saying that the Arctic isn't warming two to three times faster than the rest of the planet and the Albedo effect of open water is wrong? have you heard of Peter Wadham? 50 years experience of measuring the ice - well I believe him.

'Two guys with swords' - can now destroy the whole earth - our impact is different now. And there are 5 billion more of us; billions with energy rich lifestyles.

Nobody knows if the world population has peaked because you can't count what hasn't happened yet, it might change again. I know about Japan's problems (we may read some of the same stuff). The changing demographic is largely economic, not environmental. I'm sure the world would benefit from fewer of us (but naturally - not eugenics)

I fully appreciate the climate models will be inaccurate (look at the covid ones...) and that the evil ones have taken over the agenda - but that doesn't mean 'something' is not happening.

I don't know what it is (we are only as good as what we read or hear), it might be CO2, or the Grand Solar Minimum or Milankovitch Cycles or entirely natural - I have no idea.

BUT - things ARE changing. Even where I live I have noticed it increasingly for years; the seasons are later and less defined, the weather regularly gets stuck, we get extremes of wet and dry etc.

It didn't rain for six weeks in the summer and there was hardly ever even a breeze (we live right on the coast) it was SO hot I had to stay indoors day after day. Now it is November and we have most of the leaves still on the trees and roses in full bloom - it shouldn't be like this.

There are a great many people here who think that covid and the vaccines were created precisely as a means to reduce global population - they're well into killing millions already.

No communists required.

On the other hand, climate breakdown and a collapse of all our life support systems, like being able to grow enough food, transcends any and all political systems, including communism. Peace

The earth has been stable for about the last 10,000 years which has allowed us to flourish. It is now warming - fast.

I agree that govt response is piecemeal and totally inadequate. A total waste of time and money. They are relying on unicorn technologies which don't exist yet - and we are running out of time.

I agree that we desperately need nuclear as a transition fuel, despite it's potential dangers and drawbacks. The wind doesn't always blow or the sun shine.

Personally I think it is already too late and we are totally f*cked. The changes take years to kick in and take effect.

The only thing that could possibly save us is cold fusion or maybe green hydrogen, if they can be developed quickly enough to scale.

But first we have to be honest about the size of the existential crisis.

Expand full comment

Let me address each of your points.

* The earth has not been stable for the last 10,000 years. The Laurentide Ice Sheet still covered much of Canada and a significant portion of the northern US 10,000 years ago and we have been in an interglacial warming period since then, resulting in significant changes in weather patterns, flora and fauna, and sea levels until present.

* You argue that the Government response to changing climate has been piecemeal and inadequate and a total waste of time and money. Wouldn't a larger and more coordinated response by a bunch of morons like John Kerry just be a greater waste of time and money. The technologies the Gov is relying on are wind, solar and batteries. No unicorns involved, just very low energy density, intermittent, expensive and completely inadequate to modern life.

* Nuclear is, by many orders of magnitude, the most energy dense source we have to chose from, and it has by far the best safety track record of any industrial process on the planet. It is not a transition fuel, it is the endgame to maintianing our energy intesive quality of life.

* As for timing of being f*cked or not, climate change happens over hundreds if not thousands of years. The Dutch somehow figured out how to live under sea level using late middle age (1200-1500) tecnology, and the Inuit and Beduin figured out how to live in completely inhospitable environments using stone age technology. I think we can figure out how to adapt with our current state of tech.

* You obviously know virtually nothing about energy technology if you think cold fusion or green hydrogen are somehow the only possible solutions.

* Let's be honest the only existential crisis is that power hungry elitists want to play god under the guise of $¢ien¢e and are willing to destroy our way of life to get their way.

Hi Big Tex, Something you said, 'you obviously know virtually nothing about energy technology'. Maybe I don't, compared to you, but it's probably unfair and generally not nice to just assume.

So, you like nuclear? Here's some of what I know in UK. Hope you find it interesting.

In the UK we have had massive under investment in energy apart from wind for decades. We used to be world leaders in nuclear - the expertise is all gone. We have three new plants under construction, they are already years late, £ billions over budget and still not expected to produce power for at least a decade. One is being built with French company EDF (80% state owned and effectively bankrupt). Their reactor design has not yet been made to work - they are building another one in Finland of the same design which is even more overdue and has not yet worked.

Another of the plants is being built with Chinese money - I wonder how that is panning out. Again, huge problems and delays - I wonder if any of them will ever produce anything.

Meanwhile, we have a huge old nuclear plant, Sizewell B, which has been closed for years and will cost £ billions to decommission (which we haven't got) and take forever - they just keep it stable. (One downside of nuclear)

The French have found cracks in many of their reactors and have had to close them down. The Germans have closed all theirs for political reasons - Greens in charge Now they have no Russian gas (daft idea to depend on it!) they are even destroying villages to get at their Lignite - the filthiest of coals.

The UK is set to close the remainder of its coal powered stations by 2025. Can't see it happening, but if it does we will be left with next to nothing - like the Germans now.

Meanwhile, we have Drax Power Station: it runs on wood pellets shipped from The States and is subsidised with £ billions from the UK tax payer whose energy bills are inflated by a green levy of 25%. It is the biggest emitter of CO2 in the country but the emissions do not even figure on the UK CO2 stats because it is considered carbon neutral! It is the biggest load of political bollocks ever!! Now they are destroying prime Canadian forests to feed the furnaces (but what do they care - look at their tar sands: a total ecological disaster). They have/are in the process of installing two new huge gas turbines at Drax with space for a carbon capture plant (which of course doesn't exist at scale - they built a huge one in Australia - a complete failure).

Whilst I'm on: You also mentioned salt? I assume you mean molten salt? What's that huge plant in US desert with all the mirrors which I think was built to keep the lights on in places like Vegas? Apparently huge problems with corrosion due to salt and also is now twice the energy price of alternatives - another mothballed white elephant.

We are ALL in a BIG mess! Meanwhile energy demand just grows and grows... Peace

I do apologize for the "know virtually nothing" comment. I spent a career financing energy infrastructure around the world and get a bit passionate and perhaps dogmatic about the topic of energy policy and technology. I agree that there are issues with the timing and cost of new build nuke plants, but much of that is due to over zealous regulators. Also, agree that there are issues with the aging nuclear fleet of light water reactors, but there are maintenance fixes to these issues and new reactor designs present longer term solutions.

Well this is getting good. Thank you for engaging. I respond:

When I say stable I mean able to support human life.

When I say unicorn technology I mean carbon capture and storage. It appears to be their favourite dream.

Nuclear - why not cold fusion too? It apparently had none of the downsides. Though I read that the new model fission plants are better than the old ones. There may well be other options, but where are they? We need them now!

We don't know the timescales of Climate Change. if major tipping points are reached it could spin into overdrive very quickly.

And the planet's population was apparently about 2 billion until we started burning fossil fuels - now over 7 billion which requires much more of everything. And most of us are urban - with no clue of how to survive.

Totally agree the elites have hijacked the agenda. They are so pompous and dumb to think they can control it whilst maintaining their position.

Good to talk. Peace

Cornwall, always happy to engage in conversation on some of my favorite topics. I respond to your response:

* The first known hominids date to approximately 6 million years ago. Over the course of that 6 million years the earth has experienced cyclic heating and cooling periods with a total temperature range of more than 10 degrees c, but generally trending toward cooling. Hominid (let's say human) life was able to survive and thrive under such variable conditions without the benefit of air conditioning or anitbiotics (getting back to the Covid part of the thread).

* I agree that CCS is a silly unicorn "technology" that will ultimately be abandoned after spending billions.

* Cold fusion is at best theoretical and more likely science fiction. Hot fusion like the Tokamak reactor design requires such a high energy input to start the reaction and to contain it that the scientific goal to date has just been to achieve break-even. The best result to date has been 16Mw of output to 24Mw of input, in spite of multi-decade international joint efforts like ITER. It would take far more space for me to cover all of the details surrounding Nuclear (fission) than is appropriate for a Covid thread, but here is something to think about. Most of our thinking about nuclear is based on 1950's and 1960's technology and clouded by visions of nuclear warfare, potential runaway reaction disaster, and long lived waste disposal issues. The current state of the technology addresses each of the proliferation, safety and waste issues. If all of the clouds of history were erased, and space aliens handed us the blueprints to the currently available technologies, we would embrace it as a gift from god.

* Tipping points are the climate "science" equivalent to the Covid fear porn that was used to control the populace. Nothing happens quickly or irreversably in a climate the scale of ours. Notice that it is always geniuses like Al Gore, John Kerry, AOC, Greta Thunberg and the whole WEF cabal pushing the threat of our imminent demise to do big things now. Doing big things now = consolidating political power and money.

* All I will say about population growth is that, in spite of nonstop Malthusian predictions otherwise, humankind has been able to thrive and prosper while growing from 2 bln to 7+bln. The quality of life of the lowest 10% of the current population is better than that of the top 1% before we started burning fossil fuels. I am no Pollyanna, but I have great confidence in our ability to innovate and adapt. The greatest fear I have is the avarice of the political class and the dangers they pose through war and other massive misallocation of resources.

Peace to you my friend.

Why not cold fusion? Cold fusion doesn't exist.

But, we do have things like molton salt thorium and other modern nuclear designs that are ignored by the people who claim there's an existential crisis, yet mysteriously avoid solving it. As I said in a different fork, modern nuclear is the Ivermectin (or HCQ) of climate change. It's the solution everyone avoids because they don't want a solution, and that says a lot.

Except, you're not allowed to say that because they use the same tactics as they have with COVID -- people who depart from the orthodoxy are silenced. And, that says a lot, too.

Which is why I started this thread.

HOw are they going to meet their 90% population reduction without vaxxxxxines?

And 70-80% of children will be sterilized! The Eugenics crowd is having mass hysteria just thinking how many people will be removed from the Earth. This alone will make Earth much better for the 10% who survive.

Once the vaxxxxines were approved for children, no testing needed-automatically approved for EVERYBODY with NO liability. Now go down and get your entire family vaxxxed and boosted. It's the right thing to do to save the Earth.

"Crisis as excess deaths soar to levels higher than the Covid pandemic" Headline from The Telegraph today. Excess deaths are running 13% above normal in England and Wales according to the ONS compared to 2019. Non Covid excess deaths are three times higher than Covid deaths (Or deaths with Covid). And the explanation from doctors....Delayed or skipped medical treatments. I recall reading about two doctor strikes in the 1960s in Israel and California. The death rates dropped in both cases. I am not buying the delayed or skipped medical treatment argument.

Gotta disagree with doctors and hospitals functioning normally. In rural areas (where I am a healthcare provider), the system broke and was never fixed. Doctors refused to see sick people in person (still to this day, they make them do telehealth if they feel I’ll and as anyone actually practices medicine will tell you, you need to lay hands on a patient to properly diagnose them). Students graduated never having been properly trained in their finally years of residency. Smaller hospitals and clinics are closing. Older practitioners are still retiring earlier than they had planned further exacerbating a significant shortage of both primary care and specialty care, especially in underserved areas like where I live and work. The level of care never went back to pre-Covid and continues to worsen. I’m not saying the vaccines have nothing to do with the higher than expected mortality rates. I am saying that the harms from those vaccines combine with the failure of the healthcare system to rebound fully is contributing to the higher than anticipated mortality rates.

It was always a joke. Anyone who has worked in medicine (and is honest) knows this. The private practices were gobbled up by large corporations and/or hospitals. Now, the doctors aren’t in charge. That puts in charge the idiot administrators, none of whom ever treat a patient or look someone in the eye to tell them they will die from a tumor that would have been diagnosed earlier and treatable even ten years ago. The system was not working well before Covid. After Covid, it is broken except maybe for those in large urban areas and those with means to access the care. For those of us up here in the sticks, we are forgotten.
