By Jo Nova What would it look like if a doomsday cult had a billion dollars to spend on a skiing holiday? Maybe like the World Economic Forum: Here are people who think they are the select few, saviours of the world. They’re touched, they say by something (like an extra terrestrial maybe?) It’s an apocalypse, you know, like 600,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs says Al Gore. They’re boiling the oceans. They might be powerful and rich, but the good news is they are utterly absurd. The modern prophets are here to rescue you Especially US climate envoy John Kerry: “When you start to think about it, it’s pretty extraordinary that we – a select group of human beings, because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives – are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet,” Kerry told a WEF panel on Tuesday. “It’s so… almost extra-terrestrial to think about, saving the planet. If you say that to most people most people, they think you’re just a crazy tree hugging and lefty liberal, you know, do-gooder, whatever,” he added.

It’s national policy by agony aunt analysis. The terror and tears are right there in the national policy news at The Guardian. Six months after the UK experienced a hypothetical 40 degree minute the media are still dining out on the psychoanalysis of it. Outlook? Terrifying: TV weather presenters on the hell and horror of the climate crisis Guardian What is it like to have a front row seat for the worst show in the world? Four meteorologists describe how they are explaining the reality to viewers – and coping with it themselves Long gone is the British stiff upper lip as the Luftwaffe bomb London, now beach weather brings tears: Switching channels, the ITV meteorologist Laura Tobin, who does the weather bulletins on Good Morning Britain, was also on duty that day. Like Rich, she had been watching the models with a mixture of incredulity and dread. “I remember when I did my first bulletin on that Tuesday morning I forecast that we would break 40C. Then when I sat down and chatted to my producer, I […] 8.3 out of 10 based on 8 ratings By Jo Nova Surprise: Government fixes price, and gas supply gets paralyzed Now that the Australian government has played the Command Economy Joker Card, the gas industry has accidentally frozen. The old rules that set prices competitively have been set on fire, and the new rules are written in government jello. No one wants to set up new long term contracts when the government could change their mind any day, and the industry may either miss out on huge profits a year from now, or be in breach of “goodwill” and “reasonable price” provisions that are the legal equivalent of Ebola. For some reason ordering people to have goodwill “or else”, just means everyone hires more lawyers, no one knows what they can “reasonably” charge, investors run for the hills, and production shrinks. It’s almost as if the free market turned into a Soviet economy… if the government decides the price, it’s almost like the government owns the industry, yeah? h/t to Eric Worrall, via RicDre Australian energy users call gas industry ‘a bunch of bullies’ amid claims of supply shortages Peter Hannam, The Guardian Samantha McCulloch, the chief executive of the Australian Petroleum Production […] 7.3 out of 10 based on 14 ratings Someone who knows what life in a poor country and what having children means explains why Woke Culture has gone too far to young people at the Oxford Union. The only thing Wokeness has to offer in exchange is to brainwash bright minds like you that you are victims and to complain, to protest, to throw soup on paintings.

The UK can’t afford to make them either, with BMW sending their UK electric mini factory to China. President Xi will be happy. The West thought the Glasgow commitments was a climate plan, but really it was trade deal. h/t Notalotofpeopleknowthat Electric car makers put the brakes on UK production because many drivers think the vehicles are too expensive Calum Muirhead, Daily Mail It is now expected that the UK will produce 280,000 fully electric cars and vans in 2025, down from previous estimates of 360,000. The forecast means only a quarter of car output will be electric within the next two years, lower than prior forecasts of more than a third. The command-economy of gas meets the command-economy of cars and pretty soon we’ll be riding horses: In its latest report, the Advanced Propulsion Centre, which provides taxpayer funding to makers of zero-emissions vehicles, said the ‘uncertain economy’ was expected […] January 16th, 2023 | Tags: Energy Crisis, Europe, UK | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | 8.4 out of 10 based on 21 ratings 8.7 out of 10 based on 15 ratings The Larcum Kendall K1 Watch — The most important watch you probably never heard of. By Jo Nova Oldbrew at Tallbloke’s Talkshop found a study showing that icebergs around Antarctica apparently haven’t changed much in the last few centuries despite an extra 2,000 Gt of CO2, and all that global warming. Remember climate change is going to hit Antarctica twice as hard as anywhere else. As Oldbrew said: Probably not the result that was expected from this study. Given the world warmed in the last three hundred years, it seems surprising that icebergs don’t seem to have changed. But if they had declined, this study would be a star of the news tonight. Instead I doubt many stations will report that if Captain James Cook returned today he might not see much difference. Fascinatingly, Cook had a watch worth £450 so he could estimate longitude. To give some idea of just how fantastically valuable that watch was, ponder that the whole ship he commanded cost £1,800. The Larcum Kendall K1 watch was so prized Cook made sure “the commander, first lieutenant and astronomer were all present when it was used”. It was modeled on the H4 clock, […] 8.1 out of 10 based on 16 ratings By Jo Nova (and UPDATED) Across all branches of science, new ideas that reset the paradigms have quietly vanished The spark never started in the star-ideas that should have shone, and we find ourselves suddenly under a dark sky, looking up at a galaxy of burnt gravy, thinking something is missing. As dominant paradigms became entrenched in every field of science, the great new replacement ideas starved. Nature might as well have labeled this “A graph of Original Thought at University” It’s like some sole giant entity infected every area of science and crushed original thinkers. ‘Disruptive’ science has declined — and no one knows why Disruptive science sounds like something impossible to measure, but the researchers found way to test for the arrival of new papers that replace past paradigms. Genius discoveries may still have happened, but no one picked them up. The authors reasoned that if a study was highly disruptive, subsequent research would be less likely to cite the study’s references, and instead would cite the study itself. Using the citation data from 45 million manuscripts and 3.9 million patents, the researchers calculated a measure of disruptiveness, called the CD index, in which […] January 13th, 2023 | Tags: Academics, Peer Review, Science, Science (funding of), Universities | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | 7.5 out of 10 based on 12 ratings By Jo Nova This was the glorious green future that just collapsed today. But it’s a win for the rare Typhonium plant, and possibly also for millions of crabs around Indonesia who might have been hypnotized by undersea cables like the ones near the UK are. And who knows what that cable would have done electromagnetically for turtles, dugongs, whales and dolphins? Where are the Greens when giant experimental industrial parks span 5,000km of wilderness? Today the massive Sun Cable project collapsed into voluntary administration four years after promising to build the world’s largest solar power plant in the Northern Territory. Sun Cable was a $35 billion project supposedly to collect those sacred green electrons on a 12,000 hectare “farm” in Australia (120 square kilometers) and send them to Singapore via an 800 km land cable and then a 4,200km undersea cable. It was theoretically going to be nine times bigger than the largest solar plant in the world, and use a cable 6 times longer than the longest one ever built. So this was ambition-on-steroids, and had economies of scale up the kazoo, and possibly as much sunlight as any place on Earth, but it was still obscenely […] 8.6 out of 10 based on 8 ratings By The Babylon Bee. Experts Say They Don’t Know What Thing Is Causing Everyone To Suddenly Collapse, But It’s Definitely Not That One Thing. “It’s too early to say what could be causing this, but it’s never too early to say what isn’t causing this,” said local expert, Dr. Scott Rufflinger. “This could be caused by anything. But the one thing we know for certain is that it’s definitely not what we’re all thinking that’s behind this — if you know what I mean. We can go ahead and rule that thing out right now because Science just called us on the phone and told us not to discuss it. We always follow Science.” According to sources, experts have been working tirelessly around the clock to try and get to the bottom of why so many seemingly perfectly healthy, athletic people are falling over suddenly. “I wish I could point to something in the past year or two that large groups of people were exposed to, or forced into, but nothing comes to mind,” added Dr. Rufflinger. “If only there was one thing all these patients had in common.” __________________________________ If only it […] January 11th, 2023 | Tags: Excess Deaths, Satire & Parody, Vaccine | Category: Health | Print This Post | | 6.9 out of 10 based on 19 ratings |
