By Jo Nova All that stuff about a 1 in 100 year flood, they have no idea It turns out the worst flood on the Rhine was not in 2024 but in 1374. On the Severn, in England the worst year for “climate change” was 250 BC. Obviously neither of them were due to man-made oil and gas. A thousand news headlines have said modern floods were unprecedented, or were 1 in 1000 year events, or were caused by “climate change” and they were all based on just 120 years of data (or less), and they were all wrong. For some reason, even though climate change is the most important thing on Earth, hardly any researchers were looking for evidence of long term extreme flood events. When researchers finally studied the sediments left at many sites — they found evidence that many ancient floods were just as bad or even worse. At least 12 times, ancient peak river flows were bigger than anything we’ve seen in the instrumental record. (And they’re just the ancient floods we know about, imagine if we put more scientists looking into fluvial sediments?). The only thing unprecedented about modern floods is the gall of scientists […] 8.1 out of 10 based on 14 ratings By Jo Nova The great global carbon back-down continues: The EU wants to keep their target while exploring every possible option not to keep it. They’re contemplating a “non linear” path, meaning, a much slower approach now, while they think up excuses to bail out later. EU exploring weaker 2040 climate goal Politico, [Formerly paid by USAID] The European Commission wants to keep a 90 percent emissions-cutting target but to change how countries calculate their progress. To start, officials are contemplating a “nonlinear” path between the EU’s 2030 emissions-cutting target of 55 percent and its 2040 goal — rather than a straight line. That could mean slower emission cuts to start, compensated by rapid declines later in the 2030s. It would also mean more pollution in total over the decade. But as well as the delayed plan, there is the cheap-foreign-escape clause, the forestry-option and domestic-swap games. Now that everyone knows renewables are no good, and EVs won’t replace fuel cars, there are no end of creative accounting techniques to “meet targets” without spending much or admitting defeat. The EU might return to letting European countries buy cheap international carbon credits.

It’s the complete disassembly of a plastic onion, every layer just a fake as the layer before. But none of these news or investor outlets is even asking the right questions — why did anyone think banks wanted to save the world? How did it ever make sense to pretend that banking institutions were going to turn themselves into Global Angels, fixing the weather, harrassing their clients to switch to paper bags, and turning down loans for coal miners? It’s all unravelling now: Wells Fargo is the first major US bank to abandon its own Net Zero Target for both 2030 and 2050. And why would they do that? Probably because Tennessee and 17 other Republican States were investigating them for fiduciary duty and cartel type behaviour. Wells Fargo abandoned its targets a few weeks ago, and today The US Republican state consortium abandoned their investigation” of Wells Fargo. They’re still investigating other bankers. “Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti […] March 28th, 2025 | Tags: Bankers, Climate Money | Category: Bankers, Global Warming | Print This Post | | 8 out of 10 based on 16 ratings By Jo Nova Nearly every plea for carbon subsidies depends on “the Social Cost of Carbon”, and it’s wrong Every ton of carbon dioxide we emit is supposedly going to cause $220 USD in losses in the future, which justifies throwing lots of money at efforts to reduce emissions — like subsidizing EVs and solar panels, and inventing cricket burgers. This is called the Social Cost of Carbon (SCC). But half of that imaginary cost was the devastation higher temperatures would theoretically wreak on agriculture — which doesn’t make sense given that plants eat CO2 for breakfast. But for years bureaucrats and scientists have been telling us the damage in crops was going to cost $102USD per ton of carbon, and investors and politicians have been feeding that into their cash registers, and it’s all wrong. Ten years ago Challinor et al did a big meta-review of crop changes with temperature, using 1,722 records, but many of these records had no figures for CO2 itself. And the whole point of calculating the social cost of carbon really depends on calculating what happens when CO2 rises, and supposedly causes temperatures to rise too. In 2017 Moore et al took those numbers […] March 27th, 2025 | Tags: CO2 emissions, Cost-benefits, McKitrick (Ross), Plant growth | Category: Biology, Flora, Global Warming, USA | Print This Post | | 9.1 out of 10 based on 17 ratings By Jo Nova While careers and statues have died at the merest hint of not refuting slavery hard enough, the UK Labour Party will make sure slave-made-solar panels will still be imported to the UK, and the people exploiting the slaves will still be paid. We have to ask, O’ Great Moral Guardians, was it because there aren’t enough solar panels that are not slave-made, and if we stop supporting the slavers, the only panels left will cost a fortune? Is the big fear that it will blow the climate budget, or make green electricity even more absurdly expensive? Or are we saying that the lives of slaves in 2025 are not as important as cooling the world by 0.0001 degrees 100 years from now? h/t Tom Nelson Labour to block bid to ban solar panels made by SLAVES – so Ed Miliband can put them on schools and hospitals By Harriet Line, The Daily Mail, UK. Peers had sought to stop taxpayers’ cash from being used to buy products from a company where there was ‘credible evidence’ of modern slavery in its supply chain. But the Government will whip its MPs […] March 26th, 2025 | Tags: Slavery, Solar Energy (PV), UK | Category: Big-Government, Human Rights, UK | Print This Post | | 8.1 out of 10 based on 16 ratings By Jo Nova New “emission” rules for cars started in January, but EV sales are falling and manufacturers are starting to panic If the Labor government said it was going to make us pay a $10,000 fee on a fossil fuel car so it could give $10,000 to our rich neighbor to buy an EV, there would be mayhem and outrage in the streets. So instead they’ve come up with* a tricky scheme to force car manufacturers to do something like that, and they hope the complexity will fool the people. The new car tax and forced subsidy payments are called the “New Vehicle Efficiency Standard” (NVES) which makes it sound nicer and less Soviet, but really, the scheme is pure politburo management. The Soviets were infamous for making 800 million pairs of shoes of the wrong sort . Somehow the Russian people had to stand for hours in queues to get one pair that they wanted, and so it is that Commissar Albanese has decreed the kinds of cars Australians will want, whether they like it or not. Like the Russians, we too will pay extra, or wait for years to get what we want.

But after prescribing safe, cheap ivermectin as a GP and hurting no one, she was suddenly suspended indefinitely. It’s been three years with no end. No complaints had been made against her in 27 years of being a GP, then two appeared in one day. ( One by Dr Gunja’s intern and one by “John Smith“). The punishment is not just undeserved, but abjectly surreal. This is not just about one woman and her career, it’s about every one of us, and our right to choose the doctor we want to help us. It looks, smells, and quacks like they are making an example of her in order to frighten thousands of other doctors into obedience and silence. The last thing the Big-Pharma-Bureaucrat Blob want is for doctors to be able to say what they really think, or even ask good questions in public. Few other professionals could magnetize the public as fast as outspoken doctors could. All she is asking for in this petition is a public livestream […] March 24th, 2025 | Tags: Free Markets, Free Speech, Health, Ivermectin | Category: Big-Government | Print This Post | | 9 out of 10 based on 15 ratings 7.5 out of 10 based on 24 ratings By Jo Nova Turns out, one of the world’s largest airports apparently didn’t have reliable back up generators. This may be just sheer incompetence but some insiders are saying it’s specifically because it went Net Zero compliant in 2012 and switched diesel generators for biomass ones. Apparently some terrorism investigators are looking closely at the cause of the fire, but the crazy thing is, that Heathrow was completely reliant on one substation nearby which went up in a fireball yesterday, and never had even the slightest hope of keeping the airport running. The blackout left something like 290,000 people stranded, with 1,3oo flights canceled or rearranged. A bit like a war broke out or a volcano exploded, except they didn’t. Fury as Heathrow’s lack of back-up power causes ‘a contained version of 9/11’: Small fire at power station leaves more than 200,000 travellers, and others forced to turn around in mid-air By Martin Robinson, Daily Mail One industry source has claimed that Net Zero is to blame because Heathrow is moving from diesel back-up generators to biomass. Reform MP Richard Tice said: ‘It appears that Heathrow had changed its backup systems in […] |
