By Jo Nova The more CO2 we emit, the less we spend on global weather disasters Fully half of all human emissions of CO2 ever, have been emitted since 1990. This super-molecule was supposed to cause stronger cyclones, nastier storms, more droughts, floods, sea level surges, blizzards, and fires. We were going to save a fortune by installing solar panels and windmills to reduce CO2 and slow the storms. Instead, we make more CO2 than ever, and 34 years of data suggests that the more we make the less we have to spend on flattened or flooded homes. Munich Re says the world has experienced $298 billion dollars of catastrophic disaster losses due to weather events in 2024. This sounds terrible in terms of mindless “big numbers” , but Roger Pielke Jnr points out that these losses are shrinking in terms of the size of the global economy. And they are nothing compared to the size of the dead end “transition” spending. Catastrophic weather losses in 2024 “were about 0.26% of global GDP.” We are rebuilding our entire energy system, supposedly to reduce the damage caused by climate change which that hurts one quarter of one percent of our global […] 9 out of 10 based on 26 ratings 9.4 out of 10 based on 20 ratings By Jo Nova The Los Angeles Fires seem to symbolize the great achievements of collectivist governance. It took decades to reach these Black Belt levels of incompetence: to weaponize the committees, neutralize the media, and to teach the people that fires are caused by hamburgers and stopped by solar panels. Currently 150,000 people are still under evacuation orders in Los Angeles and some 10,000 buildings are estimated to have been destroyed. To twist the knife on the pain, some insurance companies have recently abandoned Californian clients due to a 1988 law called Proposition 103. The State government regulates price rises in insurance. It’s a form of price fixing. It means insurance companies can’t adjust their premiums to take the higher risks into account, so they do they only thing they can — stop offering insurance. Then there is the irony that green activists have worked to stop fuel reduction burns. @MarioNawfal names the Sierra Club. The Californian situation by Dennis Presiloski In a form of Democrat maths — the LA mayor Karen Bass saved $18m from the fire department budget but the state lost $150 billion in damage (so far). “The bluest people on the planet are going to […] January 11th, 2025 | Tags: California, DEI, ESG, Fires | Category: Big-Government, Fire, Ideology, USA |  Print This Post | | 9.2 out of 10 based on 15 ratings
By Jo Nova A few years ago they were all going to save the world from the sixth mass extinction, but now they just want to avoid an anti-trust suit. Such is the phase change of the Trump win, the largest banks in the USA, JP Morgan and Morgan Chase have now joined Goldman Sachs, Wells Fargo the Bank of America, and Citigroup. Six big US banks quit net zero alliance before Trump inauguration The Guardian Analysts have said the withdrawals are an attempt to head off “anti-woke” attacks from rightwing US politicians, which are expected to escalate when Trump is sworn in as the country’s 47th president in just under a fortnight. The giant super-squid of asset management is also thinking of leaving the UN Net Zero Alliance. BlackRock may exit woke business climate group Net Zero Alliance as backlash over ESG investing widens By Charles Gasparino, New York Post BlackRock — which for years has courted controversy with its focus on so-called ESG, or Environmental Social Governance investing — is considering an exit of the so-called “Net Zero” coalition of top corporations who pledge to reach zero-carbon emissions by 2050, […] January 10th, 2025 | Tags: Bankers, Climate Money, World Government | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | 9.8 out of 10 based on 13 ratings
@bluebear73 By Jo Nova Something awful is going down today in California. Pray tonight for the people of the Pacific Palisades, LA. The infamous Santa Ana wind phenomenon is running at 80 to 100 mph. 30,000 people have been ordered to evacuate, so far, and there are two deaths and 1,000 buildings destroyed. It’s winter, but there is no water in the fire hydrants, hardly any firefighting planes, and “it’s like a third world Armageddon”. The fire department can’t do a thing… Two other fires have broken out around Los Angeles in other areas. 🚨🇺🇸 “OMG OMG” “That’s a million dollar house – more – OMG” This is Malibu – one of the wealthiest affluent places on the entire planet, now it’s being burnt to ashes. Have you ever seen anything like this ever before? pic.twitter.com/XxgzzZ524E — Concerned Citizen (@BGatesIsaPyscho) January 8, 2025 Then there are videos like this one, or a raging inferno surrounding the house, with a thousand comments below, wondering if they survived, and asking “why are they filming”? The men sounded far too calm, saying “I’ve turned off the gas”. “Oh Shit”. The scene is so surreal I wonder if […] 10 out of 10 based on 11 ratings By Jo Nova Suddenly free speech is cool again This is not the Tipping Point they were expecting. Now that the election is safely over, Mark Zuckerberg, the coward, admits that censorship went too far and free speech is important. He’s decided that Facebook and Instagram will drop the third party “fact checkers” that crushed content and banned people because the “fact checkers” made too many mistakes. (Of course, he doesn’t admit that these were not mistakes at all, but entirely the plan.) As David Evans (the other half) says “Reminds me of 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell. It was the end of another leftist regime based on censorship and cancelling. The good news just kept on coming.” It’s a very limited mea culpa — it was just good intentions and a bit of scope creep you know… It’s not like he was interfering in elections, tilting the balance to buy political protection, increase his profits, or score points at dinner parties with billionaire friends. From the Press Release: More Speech and Fewer Mistakes In recent years we’ve developed increasingly complex systems to manage content across our platforms, partly in response to societal and political pressure […] 10 out of 10 based on 13 ratings By Jo Nova Extraordinary. Four years ago a crowd armed with flags and a helmet with horns was taking part in the greatest fake insurrection that never was. But today, Kamala certified Donald Trump’s win. Justin Trudeau announced his resignation as Prime Minister of Canada and Elon Musk is publicly tearing strips off the Prime Minister of the UK. Twitter — X — is alive in a pile-on that has been building for a few days and is now breaking out into the real world. Finally, the worst depravity, the moral plague that infects the UK bureaucracy at every level, is being exposed. And even Keir Starmer is in the cross-hairs. He was director of the Crown Prosecution Service from 2008 – 2013. He secured some of these “token” prosecutions, but many cases were dropped, even with DNA evidence. It is as if years of corruption and a fake media are starting to unravel. In a testament to free speech, Musk has achieved more in a few tweets than twenty years of media investigation in the UK. Starmer has finally had to answer Musk in a press conference, and dismisses demands for a full inquiry as “jumping on the […] January 7th, 2025 | Tags: Big-Government, Corruption (Media), Free Speech | Category: Big-Government | Print This Post | | 9.4 out of 10 based on 11 ratings 8.6 out of 10 based on 27 ratings 9 out of 10 based on 25 ratings Subsidy farms are designed to suck payments from plumbers, bakers and mums and dads. By Jo Nova When failure becomes a commodity… Ponder for a moment how intrinsically unsuitable, maladapted, and worthless wind turbines are to a grid. Their failure is so comprehensive, multifaceted and inevitable, an entirely new and bizarre market was invented to reward their failures. Even when they generate electricity, if the time is wrong, the demand is low, or the network can’t handle it, they will still be paid. The grid can’t use the power, but the customer still gets slugged for something they didn’t use, or they couldn’t get. In the UK the costs for this useless power grew to nearly £400 million last year. The largest provider of useless power was SeaGreen wind plant which made nearly twice as much from being “constrained” than from being of service. The Renewable Energy Foundation (REF) reports that SeaGreen earned £100 million for making electricity, and £200 million for being “constrained”. Effectively, the useful electricity it made costs a shocking £2.70 a kilowatt hour, after the other payments are included. Obviously, when the government rewards failure, the market responds by planning to fail. It follows […] January 4th, 2025 | Tags: Free Markets, Wind Power | Category: Big-Government, Free markets, Global Warming, Renewable | Print This Post | | 8.6 out of 10 based on 13 ratings By Jo Nova Let’s not put race politics in our science lessons Science has no race — it is true, or it isn’t. But once we start deleting one race or judging one scientific hero by the color of their skin, we can still make science lessons racist. It’s just another anti-white virtue-signalling thing. Instead of teaching children how the world works, someone thinks we should teach them topics that make the Minister sound good at UN cocktail parties. The UK Labour government wants to overhaul school science — if only they knew what science was. They got an “independent” review to tell them what they wanted to hear and invited the grovelling Royal Society’s of Science to sell out science to the latest Woke intellectual fashion. Shame on them. Real science is about evidence, not the color of your skin, or the continent your last 1,000 ancestors lived on. It can’t be “de-Westernized” because it isn’t “Western” — the laws of physics work just as well in England as they do in Bangladesh. Hypersonic rockets don’t care what language you speak, penicillin kills streptococcus in the East and the West, and gravity sucks us all. Its universality […] January 3rd, 2025 | Tags: Education, JoNova's Favourites, Science, Scientific Associations, UK | Category: AGW socio-political, Big-Government, Global Warming, Psy-Ops, Science, UK | Print This Post | | 8.9 out of 10 based on 16 ratings |
