Taking a few days off… By Jo Nova Skeptics have been waiting for this for yearsOn day one Donald Trump has pulled out of the Paris Agreement. He’s abandoned the WHO, rescinded 78 executive orders made by Joe Biden, and freed 1,500 political prisoners who came to the Capitol to protest 4 years ago. He declared a National Energy Emergency and removed the EV sales target (the 50 percent zero-emission new vehicle sales by the end of the decade). He has vowed to disassemble the vast Inflation Reduction Act which was a monster Green Climate Fund. 100,000 pointless climate grifter careers have just been extinguished. For four long tortuous years he was treated like a criminal, derided and mocked, and even shot. He must surely have been planning this day in intricate detail. If it bugged him, he put it on the list, even to the point of renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and reversing Denali back to Mount McKinley. There are already reports of the State of Florida issuing notices about a storm in the Gulf of America. An Overview Of Trump’s Day One Executive ActionsZeroHedge “The United States will not sabotage our own industries while China pollutes with impunity,” Trump said at the Capital One Arena. “You know, China, they use a lot of ‘dirty’ energy, but they produce a lot of energy and when that stuff goes up in the air, you know, [it] doesn’t stay there … it floats into the United States of America,” he said. It is difficult to “fight for cleaner air” when “dirty air is dropping all over us,” Trump said. “Unless everybody does it, it just doesn’t work.” Withdrawing from the climate pact will save taxpayers $1 trillion, the White House said. First things, first — free speech is back:Trump issued an executive order against government censorship, which he vowed would “bring back free speech to America.” “Never again will the immense power of the state be weaponized to persecute political opponents, something I know something about,” Trump said in his inaugural address. The executive order establishes as policy that federal employees cannot restrain American citizens’ free speech or use money from taxpayers to that end. And he will settle the score: It also directs the attorney general to prepare a report to address abuses against Americans’ free speech under the Biden administration Furthermore he signed an order demanding all agencies preserve their records “related to political persecutions.” He signed an executive order on the weaponization of government and has asked the attorney general to investigate abuses… The 51 former intelligence officials who interfered in the 2020 election with a fake story to cover for Hunter Biden’s bombshell laptop — have already lost their security clearances. It’s been a blockbuster day that will be talked about for years. Already there are calls for the Australian opposition leader to get us out of Paris too. —————————– Apologies, I am away from the desk alas and will be taking a few days off… By Jo Nova Let the Swamp Drain…For all its flaws, the US is still the largest military force on the planet and the world’s largest economy. If Trump chooses to use that power, and he appears to want to, the draining will be global. The only question is “how much”? The Pre-inauguration Victory Rally
Missed another bulletLet’s not forget how close it was. As truly awful as the Kamala word-salad was, she still allegedly got 71 million votes compared to Trump’s 75 million. And if a mere 30,000 voters in Wisconsin, 80,000 in Michigan, and 120,000 in Pennsylvania had voted differently or been ballot harvested more efficiently, or were electronically hacked more competently, Kamala would have won. (270 Electoral college votes to 268). The fate of the nation of 147 million voters (and the West) depended on just 230,000 choices or 0.16%.  Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election If the Blob had picked even a slightly less incompetent candidate, one without full blown dementia, or one able to string a whole coherent sentence together, then the advantages of state loving media, state directed tech censorship, mass immigration, electronic machines in 28 (or so) states and no voter ID would presumably have won the day. Or if Elon Musk had not jumped all in, and spent $44 billion dollars for X… Hopefully major election reform starts today. Who, exactly, was in charge of 3,748 Nuclear Warheads?When Mike Johnson got to meet President Biden he found out that Biden had no idea he had signed an EO to pause LNG exports to Europe. And Joe Biden was stunned… Wall Street Apes (@WallStreetApes) says: Does everyone realize what was just said here? Speaker Mike Johnson not only confirms that Joe Biden isn’t in control and signing executive orders he doesn’t understand but that to meet with Biden, The CIA Director had to be present. He just confirmed The CIA is running our country, not the president. This just confirmed another “conspiracy theory.
UPDATE: Brett Moulton points out Mike Johnson [Speaker of the House] had every legal ability to hold Biden accountable and did nothing. He could have brought forth impeachment hearings and even removed Biden from office. And the announcements start:
Watch the Inauguration Ceremony live:
By Jo Nova Ponder the remarkable physics SpaceX just launched Starship Flight Test 7. As Elon Musk says about the booster section: “Atmospheric reentry speed is more than twice as fast as a bullet from an assault rifle and this is the largest flying object ever made“. Yet they still manage a perfect catch. The top speed on the return of the booster was 4,135 km/h. It went to space and back in just 7 minutes, reaching 90 km up. The unmanned test rocket though, wasn’t so lucky, as SpaceX described it, suffering a ‘rapid unscheduled disassembly during its ascent’. The launch itself is a spectacle of raw power. As the rocket lifts off, it is so powerful it appears to create the weather around it almost, tearing through the atmosphere. Elon explains: “You can see the much higher propellant mass fraction of the new ship design by the percentage of rocket that is frosty.”
One commenter said SpaceX will change the way we fly. Elon said “Yes”. Imagine being able to fly anywhere in the world in under an hour…
It’s a strange moment in history. So much corruption and graft, yet also something extraordinary…
A “Far Left Politician” is practically invisible, and usually harmless. But a Far Right politician is dangerous. (To the people who use namecalling to silence opponents).
To be called “Far Right” implies someone is a horrible person, and you should probably hiss at them if they get too close. But on the prime time news, even bureaucrats pushing for One World Government, or slave owning dictators like President Xi are rarely introduced as “the Far Left President Xi”. That would give the game away, wouldn’t it? There would be constant reminders of the dangers of going “too far left”. In its purest form the political right just want individual rights and smaller government, yet the “definition” of far right keeps shape-shifting to become somehow horribly authoritarian, “like Hitler”, of course, (the Socialist). Who benefits from this absurd definition? — Big Leftist collectivists, of course. We the people cannot even have a conversation with easily recognizable words. The word fog is not an accident. The real horrors are not the right wing people waving a national flag, and talking about individual rights, but the far left committees in Brussels or Davos that want to take your money, inject you, tell you what you can say, and take away a medicine that might save your life. Namecalling is a powerful tool.

By Jo Nova Savor the moment. Donald Trump says he wants no wind farms built during his Presidency, and before we can even crack the champagne , the AfD in Germany say if they are elected, they don’t just want to stop people building new wind plants, they want to tear some of the old ones down. That’s what we like to see, some competition… Who can get to Not Zero the fastest? Trump Says He Wants No Wind Farms Built During PresidencyBy Bloomberg Bloomberg) — President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday he would seek to have a policy of having no wind farms constructed during his second term, threatening billions of dollars in planned wind projects. “We are going to have a policy where no windmills are being built,” Trump said during a lengthy tirade against wind power during a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. Trump, who has vowed a first day executive order targeting wind farms, has long made no secret his disdain for the energy source. But his remarks Tuesday represented the sharpest threat yet from the incoming president. German Far-Right threatens To Tear Down Wind TurbinesBy MarketWire Far-right German poltical party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) wants to tear down all wind turbines, according to the party’s candidate for chancellor, Alice Weidel. “Down with all these windmills of shame,” she said at a party congress on Saturday in the eastern German town of Riesa, according to Bloomberg News. Germany will hold Bundestag elections on Feb. 23, and AfD is in second place in the latest polls with 20-22% of eligible voters. This was later clarified by the AfD to say they urgently want to shut down the Reinhardswald turbines. This is the wind park in the 1,000 year old forest of legend in Germany — the sacred greenery that only an money-hungry industrial vandal would want to despoil with giant bird killing towers.
Obviously, since wind turbines make reliable generators more expensive and inefficient to run and drive the good ones out of business, clearly, the sooner the better. Do it while you still have a grid. Do it while you still have an economy….
By Jo Nova The more CO2 we emit, the less we spend on global weather disastersFully 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 economy.
 The more CO2 we emit, the less we spend on global weather disasters. For what it’s worth, Pielke notes that “Global Catastrophe Losses” turns out to be in large part due to US Hurricane losses. We can argue the toss about better ways to measure weather related costs, but we can’t argue that the media spins relentlessly one-sided lies about the cost of “climate change”. If it suited their narrative they could just as easily say “burn oil” and protect us from floods and storms. Or even more easily, since it is true — the rich world survives fires, floods, droughts and storms so much better than the poor world and fossil fuels are unarguably essential to make the concrete, the fertilizer, the planes, and the fuel to power satellites and mobile phones, ambulances and fire trucks. Fossil fuels made us rich and keeps us safe. REFERENCES
