Statistics
The average punter may lose faith in the global warming theory.
‘Large parts of southeast Australia awoke to an unseasonably cool morning on Sunday.
‘Overnight temperatures dipped between five and eight degrees below the February average across most districts of Victoria and New South Wales. In New South Wales, some of the biggest variations from the norm were in the Northwest Slopes and Plains and Central West Slopes and Plains.’ (Weatherzone)

I suspect not. The whole show has moved on to Climate disruption and extreme weather, and every storm and aberration is a sign. Madness reigns amongst the gormless masses.

They are not completely clueless, they will be questioning unseasonal weather, but the scientific high priests have nothing to say.
160
Agreed. Every time I bump into a ‘we need to do something about climate change’ devotee, I ask them what is the % of co2 in the atmosphere, what is man’s contribution and what is the perfect level of co2 that must not be deviated from? Yet to get an answer to any of those questions – it’s usually ‘channel 9 news said the planet is doomed’ or ‘the scientists said so’ – which scientists I ask? No idea, once again. Most cant comprehend that channel 9 would lie to them (or know that leftist agitator soros tipped $2b into that organisation) and just put up a brick wall when you suggest it’s all total and utter rubbish to make them poorer and other people richer. Trillions spent to date for no measurable change to temps or climate! How many more trillions are needed? They have been dumbed down and beaten down to the point where they need the govt to run every aspect of their lives, including how much power they will be allowed to use and how far they will be allowed to travel.
The unquestioning sheep and their faith in the lnp/alp/greens uniparty will see us go through a hell of a lot more pain before sanity prevails. Its sickening.
151
If we are correct in thinking global cooling has begun, surely its only a matter of time before we are vindicated.
Avoid talking to anyone about weather and climate, unless they start the conversation, global warming has become a religion and this won’t change until the weather turns in our favour.

If you watch the news, they make a heatwave (barely) in one part of the country and summer snow in another sound like thermageddon.
SUMMER SNOW (1953, February 10). The Herald (Melbourne, Vic. : 1861 – 1954
There are earlier stories but that was the first one I found for early February.

Just read this word salad/obfuscations about this confusion on their ABC:
“Temperatures in the south east are expected to continue to drop after last week’s “absolutely exceptional” period of dew points above 26 degrees Celsius paired with a low level heatwave.
“At the moment we are still getting thirties, which is about average, even slightly above,” Mr Regano said.
“Even when you have slightly above average temperatures, when you have a near record breaking period of heat it still feels cool.”
50
el + gordo
“The average punter may lose faith in the global warming theory.”
That doesn’t fit with the polls.
Recently, November 2022, a survey of 2691 respondents showed 80% believe Climate Change is happening. The percentage with this view has risen steadily from those 66% in 2013 but the 2022 percentage is 1% less than in 2021.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1053581/australia-share-of-people-who-believe-climate-change/
03
Probably 100% here believe climate change happens, just natural long term and short term oscillations that are used as evidence of human induced Thermageddon.
40
That is the effect of 30+ years of rampant propaganda.
Certainly there is no scientific evidence that human released CO2 has any affect on the climate.

The spy balloon over the US has been finally shot down but not before Biden allowed it to complete its spying mission.
Two lies told:
1) They didn’t have a capability to shoot it down Well, obviously they did. It was President Trump that said it should be done.
2) Concerns over falling debris. Most of the time it was over unoccupied rural areas or wildeness.
It is probably the most humiliating thing Biden has yet done to America and indicates to China and the world that the US is no longer a superpower, thanks to Biden and those who tell him what to do (Obama etc.).
The Chicomms are now confident that can do whatever they please with no response from Biden. Their next move will be to invade Tawain.

What are they going to spy on in Montana?
It was a simple message from the CCP to the USA – a warning about potential war saying the missile silos in Montana are a definite target.
More sabre rattling…
111
Wasnt Montana just where that one was shot down. Who knows what its mission was? Seems an incredibly clunky approach if its intelligence gathering, but still not noticed allegedly until it was well into the US.
Could just be poking to see what lights up I guess.
60
The balloon was shot down over the Atlantic , probably the safest place. There is currently another balloon wandering around South America.
80
The balloon was tracked across the North Pacific to Alaska, through Canada and down into America .
100
back tracked to central China

Ahh the loud bangs they were reporting over Montana must habeen something else. At first I thought there were two of them. I didnt think it possible they would allow it to drift over the rest of the country before taking action.

Or it was just a weather balloon that went awry in the weird weather most of the planet is experiencing – and will for the next hundred years or so.

Paul Sperry
@paulsperry_
BREAKING: Former ODNI John Ratcliffe just denied Biden admin claims Chinese sent 3 balloons into US on Trump’s watch: “I can refute it. It didn’t happen.” He said this was first time and “the damage is incalculable.” He also suggested Biden & his nat’l security team “compromised“
and
That claim about three Chinese spy balloons on Trump’s watch is deflating fast
According to the Daily Mail:
The revelation startled Mark Esper, the former Secretary of Defense, and comes as Trump and other Republicans claimed he would have shot down the balloon while calling on Joe Biden to resign over the stalled attack on the craft.
…and…
Esper told CNN that he was ‘surprised’ by the Pentagon’s statement, saying he was never told about Chinese surveillance balloons entering the US when he served between July 2019 to November 2020.
‘I don’t ever recall somebody coming into my office or reading anything that the Chinese had a surveillance balloon above the United States,’ Esper said, adding that ‘I would remember that for sure.’
He wasn’t the only one. There’s also him:
It should be noted that neither Esper, nor former CIA director and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, are on palsy terms with Trump these days. Esper was fired in some dispute near the end of the Trump presidency and Pompeo is a potential rival for the presidency in 2024. It’s not like there’s a tag team thing going on with all of them, given that they don’t speak with each other. That makes them particularly credible as witnesses.
Here’s a third witness:
And breaking news, a fourth:
Richard Grenell
@RichardGrenell
Biden’s DoD is shamelessly using an anonymous source to say that Chinese balloons flew over the US under Trump – and the Trump team allowed it.
It is a lie. We never heard this – ever.
Congress should demand @SecDef tell the truth. Shame on @JakeSullivan46.

There Are Big Problems With Biden Team’s Evolving Story About Prior Chinese Balloons
here’s a principle I may have mentioned before regarding smears about President Donald Trump.
It’s the 48-hour rule. Before you buy into whatever it is, wait 48 hours, because sure as God made little green apples, it starts to fall apart in the period.
The report began spreading on Saturday that supposedly Chinese balloons had incurred into American airspace three times during the Trump Administration. Now, this report came right as Joe Biden was getting a lot of backlash for being slow to react and it came without any real details, allegedly from an unnamed Biden defense official. But there were no details apart from that none of the incursions were on the order of magnitude of the one this week in terms of length of time over U.S. territory.
As we reported, the Trump team including President Donald Trump quickly shot the report down.
Now there are more details of this story. According to a “senior administration official,” it’s apparently “U.S. intelligence, not the Biden administration” assessing that “PRC government surveillance balloons transited the continental U.S. briefly at least three times during the prior administration and once that we know of at the beginning of this administration, but never for this duration of time.”
But the story has “evolved” — we heard it from the “unnamed senior official.” Now a “senior official” is claiming this came from “U.S. intelligence.”
Were these the same 51 former IC officials who told us Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation? But seriously, upon what are they basing this assessment? If the military didn’t detect it before, how are these IC folks “detecting” it now? Upon what are they basing their assessments? Are they claiming the military can’t pick up a slow-moving balloon?
The number of people saying they never heard of such a thing now has more people — virtually every major Trump person said they were never apprised of such a thing. I reported on Trump, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper, and National Security Adviser John Bolton.
Add to that the intelligence people, two former Directors of National Intelligence Ric Grenell and John Ratcliffe.
Add to that National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for East Asia Heino Klinck, and acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller, who had previously served as director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
So if the former intel people are saying they were not told, how are these alleged “IC people” making this judgment now?
So I think it’s safe to say something in this story smells, but members of Congress need to pursue what’s going on here.
Is there a real danger that is not being detected or is it just the Biden team trying to gaslight us all again?

Biden says he ordered the Chinese spy balloon be shot down the instant he was briefed of it but was overruled by Gen. Mark Milley.
50
He’s the one who telephoned President Xi directly to say President Trump could not launch missiles. It seems he is the commander of the United States, not the President. Otherwise it was treason.

If a propaganda Journalist asks “do you believe that climate change is happening”to be truthful you have to answer “yes”or you are saying that the climate hasn’t changed since the earth was a ball of fire.
Natural climate cycles have been happening since that time.

The Journalist is sinister or an idiot.
Given the Orwellian education system over the last 40 years idiot is most likely.

Beam me up Scotty – no intelligent life found.

Why do you assume EVERYBODY in the US are idiots?
When over Montana it was at about 80,000 ft, way above the ceiling of any combat aircraft, would have no exhaust so a sparrow missile could not lock on and its radar cross section from 30,000 ft below would be too small for a radar lock on. All the time over the States there was an accompanying electronic warfare aircraft jamming it and [probably] probing IT.
All that may, or may not, be true but I’m not about to claim US defence sat on their bums and watched it pass and phone home uninterrupted.
I know very little, certainly not enough to make baseless accusations.
210
I was very disappointed to see that the US lacked the imagination to fling a line over that balloon and bring it down undamaged. It should not have been too difficult.
53
How do to get over twice the cruising altitude of passenger aircraft?
80
How about a Rocket?
If they couldn’t design and build a specialised aircraft to do that in two days they wouldn’t stand a chance if the balloon was hostile.
20
That is not quite true. Sustained flight of a jet at 80, 000 feet is unsafe but a fighter jet can temporarily climb that high to shoot it down.
An old Lightning was taken to that height 40 years ago.
Pretty sure that the US has the capability to repeat it and have even done so in training exercises, secretly.

Japan bombed the United States from balloons in the Second World War.
An interesting co-incidence with the current ‘First Nations’ narrative was Norman Tindale’s involvement in the gathering of intelligence on these Japanese balloons
Tindale gathered information on the various Australians living here prior to the arrival of European settlers. Tindale appears to have been concerned that the histories of the various cultures and ethnic groups would be lost. My take is that he extinquished the concept of ‘terra nullius’ used to justify land grabs by recording the ownership of areas by tribal and family groups. My reading is that the system Tindale recorded in Australia was more ‘First Bikies’ than ‘First Nations’ as various groups based on tribe and family defended their turf.

‘Some forecast models are predicting El Nino coming on as early as April or May and current observational trend certainly confirms that opinion! ECMWF indicates a full-blown El Nino by June.’ (Climate Impact Company)

How Many Cigarettes You’re Indirectly Smoking Due to World Pollution Levels
Every day, the average adult inhales approximately 11,000 liters of air. While getting outside and breathing in fresh air has numerous health benefits, the reality is that not all air is good for you.
Airborne pollutants are one of the greatest sources of toxic exposure known to humankind and have a significant impact on human health. According to one estimate from the World Health Organization, air pollution contributes to seven million premature deaths around the world every year.
The air pollution emitted by cigarettes is ten times greater than that of a diesel car exhaust, according to a controlled experiment reported by Tobacco Control.
The dangers of smoking cigarettes are well publicized. But while quitting smoking is a straightforward way to reduce exposure to toxins and improve overall health, it is less easy to avoid exposure to the many toxins that pollute the indoor and outdoor air we breathe every day. Whether you’re a smoker or not.

Something nobody talks about, yet we are breathing it in every day. Over 1km. of road, 64,000 vehicles lose 1kg. of black carbon powder from their tyres. If you live beside a busy road, down wind you will know what I am talking about.
80
Where I live, the primary source of air pollution is wood heating. A winter air inversion and you cough from a few breaths.

Thankfully I have acres of fresh air surrounding my elevated home. I do feel sorry for the ants living in cramped suburbs where there is less than one metre between neighbouring gutters.

Well who would have thought?
An Ev fails in its design specs, all due to climate change.
It now seems that Antarctica has become too warm for Its only electric vehicle to operate.
An EV transport/research vehicle, built for South Pole conditions faces another engineering challenge:….Climate Change.
“The Arctic’s first zero-emissions research EV was initially designed to operate in winter temperatures of -50°C, but a recent update will optimize for the balmy -10°C summers.”
Link here (dated Feb 3 2023):
https://au.pcmag.com/cars-auto/98589/antarctica-got-too-warm-for-its-only-electric-vehicle-to-operate
The “Venturi Antartica” has a stated range of 50 km. The company has now recommended a 40 km range. It takes up to 18 hrs to “fully” charge.
Guess they will use a bank of solar panels, a couple of wind turbines and two diesel generators to keep it operational.
201
Sounds the engineering challenge wasnt climate change but understanding the operating environment when you build something. Antarctica has seasons and is not getting warmer.
140
I did some R&D testing for an aspect of their exploration vehicles years ago, and -50C certainly creates a lot of problems that you wouldn’t normally see or expect.
I know why they want EV’s, but they’re just swapping one class of problems for another…

Sabine Hossenfelder – I Misunderstood the Greenhouse Effect. Here’s How It Works.
Sabine’s explanation is thorough and reasonable, as her videos typically go. Is she right though? A lot of climate science – as we see via Jo’s site – is questionable. A full understanding of the argument presented in the video is beyond me, but can anyone here critique this presentation and find holes? One thought I had was about the stratospheric cooling … predicted in a paper … found … therefore it must be greenhouse gases (because we can’t think of anything else?).
80
A load of gobbledy gook disproven right here over a decade ago, when “stratospheric warming” was all the rage amongst the global warming consensus crowd (dubbed the stratospheric tropical flop spot here and picked up by James Delingpole).
Easily disproven by anybody with a thermometer, a backyard, and access to the seaside.
131
As I write here so often, whether CO2 or CH4 or anything else has an effect on the weather, the endlessly repeated core story is that a 50% increase in CO2 is from the use of fossil fuels.
“Each year, human activities release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than natural processes can remove, causing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to increase.”
Fact. CO2 from fossil fuels is a tiny 3% of atmospheric CO2. Game over.
30
Same NOAA site
“The ocean has absorbed enough carbon dioxide to lower its pH by 0.1 units, a 30% increase in acidity.”
No scientist wrote this lie. While measured on a scale, the fact is liquids are either alkali or acid. They cannot be both.
There is no ‘increase in acidity’ because there is no acidity. The world’s oceans are all alkali and all the limestone in the world like the Great Barrier Reef, the White Cliffs of Dover and all the coral atolls, vast areas would have to disappear before this was possible.
That’s deliberate deceit by NOAA. Again.
71
It is logically comparable to saying that you just bought something, so you are increasing your level of bankruptcy. Outrageous sophistry to scare people.
60
IIRC, it would take a further 2000% (rough estimate) change in H+ concentration to even become neutral.
10
“lower its pH by 0.1 units”
Which is totally IMMEASURABLE on a global scale.
Ocean pH fluctuates by +/- 1 pH or more in many areas.
A compilation of all surface pH values from around the world, shows that it just isn’t happening anyway !
30
They are equating hydronium ion concentration to acidity.
10
Ms Hossenfelder consistently claims that carbon dioxide molecules absorb infrared radiation in certain bands which leads the molecules to increase their internal energy with intramolecular (internal) motions. I agree with that part of her discourse.
However, she then wrongly claims that the energy of these internal motions of the molecules is transferred to other molecules as kinetic energy and thereby contributes to the bulk temperature of the atmosphere.
The kinetic energy of a gas is the result of centre of mass motions of its molecules. Hossenfelder is effectively claiming that carbon dioxide molecules are not constrained by the law of conservation of momentum and that intramolecular motions in a gas are a form of kinetic energy. That is false.
150
The internal motion of a molecule can be rotational or vibrational. Consider a molecule made of a batsman and a baseball bat. Just prior to hitting the ball, you can say the molecule has developed alot of internal rotational energy (angular momentum) which gets transfered to the ball on impact. Or what do you think would happen if you threw a tennis ball at a rapidly spinning ice skater? Another analogy is a paddle steamer. You start up the steam engine while the boat is out of the water. You can say the rotating paddle has a lot of internal energy. You drop the boat in the water and the boat moves forward and the water goes backwards. The paddle slows down. You can see that the work done by the rotating paddle is both on the boat and the water so momentum is conserved.
60
A rather mixed metaphor.
In interactions between molecules both energy and momentum must be conserved. Exchanging angular momentum and linear momentum is not what is meant by conservation. Moreover in molecules like CO2 intramolecular motions that involve both rotation and linear motions are symmetrical and quantised.
20
OMG.. the silly ditz doesn’t even know that a real greenhouse works by blocking convection !
Even a plastic greenhouse will do that.
Open a small slat in the top somewhere, and they don’t get that warm.. because.. guess what.. the hot air can escape. !.
Some greenhouses are even designed like that for temperature control.
She says she didn’t understand before… well, she sure as heck doesn’t understand now. !
If she doesn’t understand even the most basic thing about greenhouses.. why would anyone think she understands anything else.

John, I am from Canada and am watching this closely. It is beyond scary.

Federal government moves to delay MAID for people suffering solely from mental illness
Add to this that we just came out of CoVid where doctors were expected to tow the govt. narrative on vaccines.

What do you count as a “unit of zinc”? Most protocols call for 50mg equivalent of metallic zinc per day with a zinc ionophore such a s Quercertin, IVM or HCQ, the latter two illegal in Australia.

Some of you here may be aware of an organisation by the name of My Place. This is made up of many groups of locally organised citizens who are concerned about the way our society is heading at the moment, and provides a forum for discussion and information sharing.
One of our local groups made the news last week when they attended a meeting of Yarra Ranges Shire Council to seek answers to their questions regarding councils intended experiment with the so-called ’20 minute cities’ agenda in the Dandenong Ranges hamlet of Monbulk.
Council refused to engage with the group, with councillor Tim Heenan, representing Billanook ward, stating ‘there will be no debate or public questioning’ on the matter.
Police then attended – nine, yes NINE police cars from several local stations, capsicum spray at the ready. Turns out these units had been ‘ordered’ four hours prior, to allow council to abandon the meeting. These parasites are empowered due to complete leftist influence at ALL levels of government and the bureaucracy in this country.
Be warned – they will come for you too. Stand up. Oh, and check out My Place, you just may want to get involved.

I have no issues with a big city council trying to make sure that most people have everything they might regularly need within say 20 minutes walking distance. Great idea.
Its the totalitarian nature of the whole “20 minute city” agenda that get my angst.
FORCING people to use ONLY those services, restricting people to that area…
… is so very wrong and against all normal civilised, moral, ethical, freedoms and social behaviour.

In news footage of the Tyre Nichols case I saw a pressure pack canister spraying in a fixed direction for several seconds from a distance of about a metre.
If that was capsicum spray into the face it would surely be enough to kill.

JC2 thought for the day
The sign of a good doctor should be how many patients he can get off medications not how many he can put on medications.
140
Sometimes it is easier to have vitamin supplements than find the required food sources…..
But are supplements considered to be medications?
30
In China in pre Mao days, the local “doctor” visited weekly ad was paid – provided all the family was well. If a member of the family was sick the doctor didn’t get paid until everyone was well again.
The whole idea was that it was the doctor’s job to keep everyone well. Makes a lot of sense.

You can’t criticize America without being a Russian propagandrist..
“That’s one reason why I wasn’t surprised by Matt Taibbi’s reporting on the Twitter Files revelations about Hamilton 68, an information op run by DC swamp monsters and backed by imperialist think tanks which generated hundreds if not thousands of completely bogus mainstream news reports about online Russian influence over the years.”

Another covid FWIW
“This One CANNOT Be Dismissed”
“The author of the substack is pretty-much spot-on here. This is characteristic of an immune runaway response in the endothelium which we know is a problem with these jabs because it was demonstrated that direct endothelial damage occurred due to the presence of the spike protein even without any other part of the virus back in the fall and winter of 2020.”
Much more at
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=248031
“The default position, given what we know at this point, is that everyone who took one or more of these jabs sustained some amount of this damage until it is conclusively proved otherwise. Over 200 million Americans, in short, must be assumed to have taken this damage as a direct and proximate result of the willful blindness and intentional misconduct of everyone involved.”
I’m beginning to get the idea that every medical/pharma office notice board should have had a copy of the poster that reads –
“THINK! It might be a new experience”

Bhakdi wrote that from the beginning described how and what happens with the spikes in the blood latest with the second shot.

“This One CANNOT Be Dismissed”
And yet it will be. Also buried, ignored and – if all else fails – discredited in a coordinated attack amplified by the media.

Does anyone know why the heart, the young male heart in particular, is especially susceptible to covid “vaccine” damage?
50
It is probably because the spike protein causes inflammation and then scarring that interferes with the transmission of the electrical signal necessary to keep the heart beating.
There were some post mortem photos of heart tissue showing the damage. Sorry but I have not got the link. Only a small part of the tissue was damaged but it was enough to upset the heart’s rhythm. Dr. John Campbell did a video on it.
20
I understand that, but why is it mostly young males?
20
My theory is that after a young male gets jabbed, one of his friends thinks it is funny to punch his arm really hard on the vaccination site.
This causes damage to the tissue and increases the chance that the mRNA gets transported to places where it shouldn’t be.
I didn’t say it was a good theory.
20
Perhaps a better theory might be that the fit young men to whom this happens are more likely to go to the gym or do vigorous exercise soon after being jabbed.
Like the punching on the arm hypothesis, this might increase the chance of the “vaccine” being pumped out of the arm muscle.

Integrated analysis reveals FOXA1 and Ku70/Ku80 as targets of ivermectin in prostate cancer
In summary, our results indicate that ivermectin suppressed the AR and E2F signaling pathways and DNA damage repair capacity by targeting FOXA1 and Ku70/Ku80 to inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis in prostate cancer. These findings provide insight into both the effects and mechanisms of ivermectin as an anticancer agent. This raises the possibility of broadening the clinical evaluation of ivermectin for the treatment of prostate cancer.

Aunty accused of cherry picking.
‘The ABC has apologised for providing an incomplete picture in a radio report about an Alice Springs community forum held to address alcohol-fuelled violence in the community.
‘Matt Paterson, the mayor of Alice Springs, demanded on Thursday that ABC chair Ita Buttrose retract stories that appeared on the national broadcaster’s platforms that claimed a community forum at the Alice Springs Convention Centre expressed elements of “white supremacy”. (SMH)
60
Their ABC and the Left in general have so over-used terms like “white supremacy” and “racism” that they are now essentially meaningless and that means that genuine cases will be ignored.
40
The gathering was a ‘disgusting show of white supremacy’, there wasn’t a dark face to be seen.

Now that the deadly nature of covid “vaccines” is almost undeniable, do you think various guilty parties such as government departments, medical officials, Big Pharma etc. are destroying evidence?
This is going to turn out to be one of the biggest medical scandals in history, if not the biggest. Made all the worse by the fact that were already simple, safe, effective, inexpensive treatments available, even before covid vaccines were forcibly injected into the masses.

The effective prohibition on private research surely merits punishment.
Dr Blaylock’s assertion of mass murder of 80% 0f the 800,000 people who had died in the US at the time of his assertion is valid.

BREAKING WIND
One of the favorite talking points of the climatistas is that we need to take account of the financial risk of future climate change. This is one reason the Biden Brigade is trying to impose a number of climate risk requirements on American business, even though by every conventional method of economic forecasting, the present value of hypothetical large costs decades from now is quite small. This is one reason why the climatistas insist on perverted forms of economic calculation (the “social cost of carbon”) that in any other context would get them called “economics deniers.”
One financial risk that turns out not to be small right now is the cost of green energy—especially windmills. Bloomberg reports what is happening with wind power right now:
Wind Turbines Taller Than the Statue of Liberty Are Falling Over
…The instances [of windmill collapses] are part of a rash of recent wind turbine malfunctions across the US and Europe, ranging from failures of key components to full collapses. Some industry veterans say they’re happening more often, even if the events are occurring at only a small fraction of installed machines. The problems have added hundreds of millions of dollars in costs for the three largest Western turbine makers, GE, Vestas Wind Systems and Siemens Energy’s Siemens Gamesa unit; and they could result in more expensive insurance policies—a potential setback for the push to abandon fossil fuels and fight climate change. . .
The race to add production lines for ever-bigger turbines is cited as a major culprit by people in the industry. “We’re seeing these failures happening in a shorter time frame on the newer turbines, and that’s quite concerning,” says Fraser McLachlan, chief executive officer of London-based GCube Underwriting Ltd., which insures about $3.5 billion in wind assets in 38 countries. If the failure rate keeps climbing, he says, insurance premiums could increase or new coverage limits could be imposed. . .
Vestas Wind Systems A/S saw annual warranty provisions jump from roughly €600 million in 2019 to almost €1.2 billion in 2020 and 2021. . . The failure issue has become a concern for bankers and other creditors, however, who may begin to demand higher interest rates, he says. “There’s a hesitancy among insurers and lenders about these big models that haven’t been tested yet,” Metcalfe says. “The technology alarm bells are ringing.”
As we can see once again, while the political marketplace says one thing, the real marketplace says something else when it’s their own money at risk, and not taxpayer money.

Is it safe to assume that Australian dairy and beef cattle are grass fed?
I haven’t taken much notice in the past but it seems it does matter. Butter and cheese from grass fed animals have significantly more K2 than that from grain fed animals.
NZ cattle would, I assume, be 100% grass fed.
10
Controlled input gives best results. i.e. lot fed.
NZ grows better grass. They don’t have any deserts.
So I have been told.
