By Jo Nova This week’s UN witchcraft is that a half a degree of global warming will kill babies and pregnant women, give us your money. The UN COP29 meeting starting Nov 11th, fights for relevance in the shadow of the US Election, like a suckerfish under an aircraft carrier. The latest confected attempt to get attention is to guilt trip the West — telling us that women and babies will die if we don’t install enough solar panels. This is despite humans being mammals which evolved to cope with the heat and the cold. We live a more closeted, protected existence than any time in the last million years. Not many people give birth in caves these days. Indeed we’re a species that inhabits towns with monthly temperatures that vary by 90 degrees Celsius and we are supposed to panic about another half a degree? The truth is that being cold, poor and hungry increases stillbirths just as much as any heatwave, and the thing that saves babies on a hot day is an air-conditioner. The answer to all four killers thus, is cheap electricity and fossil fuels. One day history students will study how the UN uses […] October 30th, 2024 | Tags: Guardian (The), Temperature (Effect on Mortality), United Nations (UN) | Category: Global Warming |  Print This Post | | 10 out of 10 based on 11 ratings Photo by Ansalmo Juvaga By Jo Nova Seen on X Spare a thought for the people of Cuba The situation went from awful to something much worse. They ran out of working electrical plants ten days ago, and endured blackouts lasting for four straight days, including one hurricane. Reports coming out suggest that though electricity is partly restored, it’s often only for four hours a day. Not surprisingly, the country is semi-paralyzed — schools are still closed and “labor services” are largely non-existent, apart from hospitals, funerals and efforts to repair the damage caused by Hurricane Oscar. Soon they may run out of people. People were fleeing Cuba before things got this bad. The big blackout began on Friday October 18th. In the next four days they restarted the grid three or four times only to have it crash again, and while power is sort of mostly restored the structural problems appear to be dire. Nothing really sums the state of the communist economy better than one line on Vox news which described the moment the big blackout began: “Seven of the country’s eight thermoelectric plants, which generate power for the island, were […] October 29th, 2024 | Tags: Blackout, Communism, Cuba | Category: Big-Government, Renewable | Print This Post | | 9.3 out of 10 based on 15 ratings Broken Hill Solar Plant | Photo by Jeremy Buckingham By Jo Nova The lights went out in Broken Hill. A storm blew seven transmission towers over disconnecting the area from the national grid on October 17th. About 19,000 people live there, and with a 200MW wind plant, a 53MW solar array and a big battery, plus diesel generators it was assumed they’d be OK for a while without the connection to the big baseload plants, but instead it’s been a debacle. They’ve had nearly a week of blackouts with intermittent bursts of power, barely long enough to charge the phone. The fridges in the pharmacies failed, so all medications had to be destroyed and emergency replacements sent in. Schools have been closed. Freezers of meat are long gone… Emergency trucks are bringing in food finally and hopefully the schools will reopen today. But the full reconnection will not happen until November 6th. Western NSW blackout ‘a green power warning’ By Joanna Panagopououlos and Alexi Demetriadi, The Australian Mayor Tom Kennedy said state and federal governments “needed to learn” from the experience, and how wind and solar energy are “almost useless” in a crisis without […] October 28th, 2024 | Tags: NSW (New South Wales), Renewable Energy, Solar Energy (PV), Wind Power | Category: Australia, Big-Government, Grids, Renewable, Solar Power, Wind Power | Print This Post | | 8.8 out of 10 based on 16 ratings 8.9 out of 10 based on 20 ratings The millionth comment came in this afternoon (on the Friday thread). Congratulations to Simon Thompson M.B. B.S. for the millionth comment. With Yarpos at 999,999 and Old Ozzie at one million and one. For the record, I’ve emailed all three and offered to post them a set of books, with thanks. Of course, this really is an achievement of all the commenters who share their thoughts and expertise on a world of absurdities, and thanks to the tireless moderators who made it possible.

9.8 out of 10 based on 102 ratings The World Bank — Who We Are. As they say — we’re “Accountable to ourselves”. By Jo Nova The World Bank is the largest climate funding multinational blob on Earth, and the world is about to end, the oceans are about to boil, but no one at the World Bank can explain where billions of dollars worth of the Earth saving funds have ended up. It’s almost as if no one there gives a toss about the climate. Indeed, if the World Bank was a giant parasitic squid feeding off the taxpayers of the West, it might look just like this. A new Oxfam report shows that over six years, $24,000 million dollars (at least) has probably gone missing off the balance sheets, but it could be as much as $41 billion. Essentially, the World Bank budgeted to spend a lot of money, but no one bothered to track whether that money was spent, whether the budget blew out, or whether it never happened and the team went surfing in Costa Rica. Imagine if we could do our taxes this way? Indeed, it’s a bit rich to say the money was “missing off balance sheets” because apparently there […] Comments standing at 999,872 At 1:12AM Queensland time Friday.

This is roughly twice as many as in the 25 years before that. What could it be? Whatever it is, it isn’t windfarms. Greenpeace says so: “There is no evidence whatsoever linking offshore wind to whale deaths. The manufactured hysteria is the result of fake news promoted by politicians, big oil, and their cronies to save the oil and gas industry” Greenpeace Australia says wind-plants save whales.: …”building offshore wind is way, way better for ocean wildlife than fossil fuels”. And yet there are a thousand dead cetaceans. Andrew Montford of NetZeroWatch graphed beached dolphins, whales and porpoises against the rise of a new industrial marine machine: Cetacean Strandings in the UK graphed against offshore wind capacity. @Dissentient There’s no evidence, say Greenpeace, sounding just like Philip Morris. We don’t know for sure what is causing so many whales and dolphins to die, but Greenpeace doesn’t even want to find out. The only thing we do know is that Greenpeace is craven, counterfeit, eco-imposter front for the Globalist […] October 24th, 2024 | Tags: Big Green, Greenpeace, Greens (fake), Whales, Wind Power, WWF | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | Current tally 999,697 comments … @ 1:20AM EST 10 out of 10 based on 12 ratings By Jo Nova Nobody checked the carbon-13 ratios! Wouldn’t you know it — 150 nations signed the Global Methane Pledge without even bothering to check if the methane was man-made. Methane — the second most hated Greenhouse gas — spiked to record historic levels in the last few years, over 1,900 parts per billion. In 2019, even the WEF scientists admitted they couldn’t explain the baffling rise, and then in 2020, the world of methane went into the twilight zone. We shut down the modern world due to the pandemic, and methane levels rose even faster. It seems many have been blaming fossil fuels for the global surge in emissions, but forgot to check the C13 isotopes. Somehow we spend millions on breathalysing cows, measuring their burps, and feeding them seaweed, but didn’t think to do the basic chemistry. How could that be, you might wonder… 158 nations agreed to cut methane emissions by 30% by 2030, but none of them audited the science even though very strange things were happening. (The point was obviously the “pledge”, the junkets, the captive industries and subsidies, anything but the science). Methane from fossil fuels has a higher carbon-13 ratio, but even though […] And the tally stands at 999,548… @ 2:49AM EST

9.9 out of 10 based on 45 ratings By Jo Nova There are a million pointless ways the Deep State Machine can tie down opponents. Elon Musk is having fun sharing his stories of Bureaucratic Entanglement, as petty officials demand he protect sharks, whales and seals in every launch. Tomorrow, I will tell the story of how SpaceX was forced by the government to kidnap seals, put earphones on them and play sonic boom sounds to see if they seemed upset https://t.co/e8VsQpTOOa — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 20, 2024 Bureaucrats are not even pretending to serve the people anymore, they just serve themselves The Lordships at the Californian Coastal Commission have admitted they are disallowing extra Space X launches from Vandenberg Space Force Base because they don’t like Elon’s tweets. And they even said so out loud. It’s so third-world. Commissioner Gretchen Newsom apparently has a theory that stopping rocket launches will protect the people of California from hearing opinions she doesn’t want them to hear. She has appointed herself decider of your vote. “Right now Elon Musk is hopping about the country, spewing and tweeting political falsehoods and attacking FEMA while claiming his desire to help the hurricane victims […] October 21st, 2024 | Tags: Big-Government, Musk (Elon) | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | 9.3 out of 10 based on 19 ratings 9.2 out of 10 based on 19 ratings The Guardian By Jo Nova It could be the most rigged survey I’ve ever seen The Lancet “Planetary Health” poll of young Americans looks as contrived as anything in our fake academic and media world. The survey, funded by AVAAZ (a $20 million dollar political activist “NGO“) is clearly an industrial scale psychological mining operation to find Politically Useful Statistics. It is amazing the survey passed ethical approval, because some 15,793 people aged 16 to 24 were allegedly subjected to a relentless series of unhinged and unbalanced suggestions. The sheer repetition of doom mongering is a form of abuse. It’s works like hypnosis — imagine being asked, “How much, if at all, does climate change make you feel the following? Then being offered 10 shades of pain: Anxious, Powerless, Afraid, Sad, Angry, Despair, Ashamed, Grief, Depressed, Guilty, and finally Indifferent, or Optimistic. Not only was there no chance to say climate change made you feel Bored, Lectured, Cajoled, Hen-pecked, Conned, and Scammed, but the response list itself was like a hypnotic suggestion, do you beat your wife, how often do you beat your wife, and how do you feel when you beat your wife?
