By Jo Nova A rare opportunity: the wonderful Matt Ridley will be in Perth to speak on Tuesday. One of the few great science commentators across economics, biology, genes, climate and politics. Author of The Rational Optimist, Viral: The search for the origin of Covid-19 and for years a writer for The Times, WSJ, and also elected as a hereditary peer to membership in the House of Lords, UK. Cures vs Consequences: How does Government navigate the science? Matt Ridley Join Matt Ridley in PERTH, Novotel Murray Street on Tuesday, November 21 or a thought-provoking discussion on the critical role of Government in shaping climate, health, and energy policies. Scientists aren’t infallible authorities who universally override political disagreements, nor are they unscrupulous fraudsters with hidden political agendas. Somewhere between the two lies the truth: Science is a flawed and all too human affair, but it can generate timeless truths, and reliable practical guidance, in a way that other approaches cannot. How can the average person make sense of the often-conflicting scientific opinions that have arisen during the COVID pandemic and in the discussions about climate and energy policies? Unfortunately, there’s no easy solution when it comes to scientific debate.

So Reedly city officials in California stumbled on this warehouse almost by chance, and wanted some answers, but the FBI didn’t want to investigate and the CDC refused to test the pathogens. Most of the samples were destroyed and some 104 tons of material was “eradicated”. Afterwards City Officials found a freezer the CDC missed. It was labeled Ebola — that most fun infectious agent with fatality rates between 25 and 90%. (Fortunately is not anywhere near as transmissible as Covid).  Jiabei “Jesse” Zhu was known as David He The man running the lab was Jiabei “Jesse” Zhu, a citizen of China, who formed dozens of companies in Canada in order to steal intellectual property. After he was caught and hit with a $330 million dollar fine, he escaped to the USA, set up the Reedly lab and acquired the pathogens. He also imported Chinese made medical tests and rebadged them, fraudulently, as “Made in the USA”. During this time he received some $2 million in mysterious payments from the People’s Republic of China. We wonder why someone would keep dangerous pathogens in their workshop freezer for years, and at great cost? It’s hard to imagine any benevolent excuse for keeping bags of things marked HIV and Ebola in a fridge. Zhu doesn’t appear to be thinking of benefits for his US customer base. On WeChat he apparently claimed “his fraudulent activity would help ‘defeat the American aggressor and wild ambitious wolf!’” — The NY Post has a full write up. Watch the documentary:
Where did he get Ebola in the first place, and why doesn’t the CDC have measures in place to stop this? The US Congressional Select Committee on the CCP issued a report on this laboratory: The Committee found:
Even if most of these viruses don’t make ideal bioweapons as is, with genetic modification, who knows? In any case, the simultaneous release of minor disabling outbreaks would still play havoc with any nation. Biological warfare can take many options, and as we saw with Covid, sometimes the less deadly viruses are more effective. I note months before the facts were known an AP news report on this lab said it just “fueled conspiracy theories“, “Officials said it posed no danger.” Image: BernbaumJG
John Campbell talks about a speech by Andrew Bridgen MP in the UK Parliament a couple of weeks ago By Jo Nova Do you want Tedros and the UN to tell you what medicine you can or can’t have?
It applies to all 192 countries that signed up to the International Health Regulations (IHR), managed by the WHO in 2005. (So, yes, wherever you live). Here’s the sneaky thing, new amendments that change this agreement don’t need to be voted on by your Parliament or Congress. They just need to be tabled and 18 months later, “bing” — if no one objects, they are accepted de facto. The only way for a nation to stay out is if your PM or President writes to the WHO and says “No Thanks”. That date of rollover “acceptance” is December 1. (Can you believe). And yet, for some reason, almost no MP or media outlet has whispered a word of it. Since they love to tell us how saintly and essential the UN is, we can assume that they’re not telling us because they don’t think we’ll like it. There are two parts to this — one are the Amendments to the IHR, and the other, but completely separate — the Pandemic Treaty. If they both slide into place, the WHO could declare an “Emergency” and decide things like whether you should be allowed to take a drug (or even a vitamin), whether you must take some mandatory medical treatment, and things like that. For your own good of course.
If it all sounds creepy and like a Tom Clancy novel — ponder that we’re already part way there. For two years Australians were not allowed to leave Australia without taking an experimental injection first. Our Chief Health Officer explained this was because of our obligations to the International Health WHO Agreement. So Tedros, the former Foreign Minister of Ethiopia, decided what the free citizens of Australia would inject if they wanted to fly to Bali. This conspiracy is so real 147,000 uninjected Australians applied to leave the country and were denied. Some may have paddled across the Timor Sea but the Australia govt hasn’t given us any data on escapees. Coming soon: the WHO want digital passports — so they can keep you safe, keep Big Pharma friends happy, and presumably because it suits President Xi. Plus it will make it so much easier to add up their social carbon score. This is the same World Health Organization that failed at the only task they were set up to do — prevent global pandemics. They were the ones praising China’s transparency and leadership in January 2020, telling us the Wu-Flu wasn’t spread human-to -human and insisting we keep letting bioweapons fly free on planes. It’s almost as if they were trying to spread it… If the amendments etc become law, the only option is to Exit The WHO (and abandon the whole UN!). Let’s do that anyway. PS: You thought “One Health World Government” was nice line, but actually it’s WHO policy –– “One Health” is designed to wrap the health of people, plants, animals and trees — even the planet — into one conglomerate Quadripartite Executive. It’s the acronym basket of the WHO, FAO, WOAH and UNEP. So if there is a vaccine against climate change, they will want to make you take it. If there is a bug-burger that will stop the storms, or prevent pandemics, that’ll be in your allocated menu. It’s like supergiants in the bureaucratic galaxy are forming a black hole… More information on the Amendments thanks to James Roguski: ExitTheWHO.org (worldwide) http://ExitTheWHO.com (USA) Take Action in Australia, in the United Kingdom, in New Zealand, and in Canada http://ThePeoplesDeclaration.com There is another WorldWide Freedom Rally this Saturday 18th at 12 noon — search for your city details here (USA, Canada, NZ, Europe, Australia).

November 16th, 2023 | Tags: WHO (World Health Organisation) | Category: Global Warming |  Print This Post | | Two and a half years ago President Xi promised to “strictly control coal-fired power generation projects” in China. Before this solemn pledge the CCP had approved a blockbuster 54 gigawatts of coal fired power plants in just two years. Afterwards, to show how committed they were to Net Zero principles and international agreements, they *only* approved 131 GW. As President Xi promised — he’s “strictly in control” (of a massive increase). He’s also strictly in control of the world’s manufacturing. After being deceived, the UN, Greenpeace, and Joe Biden promptly did nothing at all — it’s not like the future of life on Earth is at stake. And John Kerry somehow saw only “agreement” and “hope”. When faced with this environmental catastrophe, the BBC told the world about China’s green power surge instead, and only mentioned the coal in passing as an aside. China had spawned a world record in coal plant construction, but apparently these coal plants are not so bad because many are built on renewable parks, “partly as backup for all the new wind and solar farms”. As if CO2 emissions are neutralized just by the presence of the sacred talisman of “renewables”. It’s a religion. Meanwhile the International Energy Agency (IEA) — a kind of mini UN energy bureaucracy — predicts China’s peak coal will happen next year. Righto. Apologists, all of them for planet destroying polluters.
Just for comparison: Australia has one 1,000 MW plant in the “pre-permit” stage. (Collinsville). A whole gigawatt of dreamtime coal plant. It’s so “pre” that even though it was suggested four years ago, and awarded $4m for a feasibility study, no feasibleness has been announced. In the same years, China built about 300 coal plants. At least Europe has some nuclear plants. Likewise the US: All this data on coal plants comes not from overpaid academics, Ministries of Energy, or publicly funded “news” broadcasters. None of them, apparently, give a toss about actual CO2 emissions. Instead, this was done by some NGO’s who are paid to be perplexed but at least they are honest in their confusion. These people believe propaganda put out by both the UK and by China, and are caught in the headlights, genuinely surprised… China Pledged to ‘Strictly Control’ Coal. The Opposite Happened.Lauri Myllyvirta, Byford Tsang, Foreign Policy The recent about-face on coal is odd for Beijing, which generally under-promises and over-delivers on climate commitments. Controlling new coal power projects is one of the few pledges China has made from now until 2025. Furthermore, more coal power is not necessary to keep the lights on, since China has a booming clean energy sector. By many measures, China is the front-runner in the global clean technology race. Its renewable energy investments accounted for 55 percent of the global total in 2022. Just two Chinese companies have captured over half of the world’s electric vehicle battery market, and 60 percent of electric cars sales in 2022 occurred in China. Someone should tell them that “half the worlds renewables” only made 7% of China’s total energy needs. All the back up coal plants made 57%. Thanks to NetZeroWatch for the inspiration. November 15th, 2023 | Tags: China, Coal | Category: China, Fossil Fuels, Global Warming, Lies-by-Omission, Media-matters, Renewable | Print This Post | | By Jo Nova Written just in time for the UN Climate junket, Anna Lee, 21, declares she’s too worried about climate change to have children. In the past these declarations have been a part of a Doomer fashion show where people who probably wouldn’t have had children anyway brag about how saintly they are for not having them. They wear their childlessness as a badge of glory. But Anna Lee’s declaration sounds more like a cry for help from someone raised on a climate fantasy. She doesn’t feel she can offer her children a future, perhaps because she doesn’t have one herself. She has, after all, been raised by the village on a dead-end religion. The world will only be saved if impossible things happen. Storms, fires and floods can be stopped with whirly-gigs and magical silicon carpets, don’t you know? The solution is so obvious, and it’s cheap and free too, but people in our tribe are too stupid and greedy to do it. Imagine what a depressing message that would be — born into a craven mob of colonizing lemmings who didn’t do anything good like ending slavery, inventing antibiotics or walking on the moon. Losers… Some subset of Gen Z have been turned into perpetual climate alarm machine. On the other hand, there’s also an activist element here. News editors are milking youthful angst to help the UN agenda. And Greenpeace are holding the next generation hostage unless they get their way on climate change. The Greenpeace plan, called “No Future, No Children” aimed to get teenagers to pledge not to have children unless the government fixed the weather, or helped oligarchs get very rich, or something like that. Thankfully I don’t think their 2019 plan caught on. The webpage CNN links to is now a shipping container company. But what could go wrong with coercing adolescents into making pledges they may later regret? Why I’m not going to have children — says Anna Lee
If temperatures weren’t rising, I’d choose the name “Athena” for a girl. If the rivers were safe, I’d choose “William” for a boy. If I could breathe clean air on my morning commute, I’d paint the nursery a warm yellow. If I could see hope for a sustainable future on this planet, I wouldn’t be spending time mourning the children I’ll probably never have. If things were different, I’d be honored to become a parent — indeed, I think there is no greater privilege or responsibility. But each day, the current state of the world dissuades me more and more from having children. Like many folks in Gen Z (those born between 1997 and 2012), my main concern is climate change. And, as climate catastrophes are already well in motion (coupled with a host of related socioeconomic and equality issues), I feel as if I would be doing an increasingly irreparable injustice to any children I would bring into this world with my inability to offer them a future.
At my age, concrete discussions of family and having children are still far down the line — but this is a decision I’ve held firmly to since I, myself, was a child. Passing on my own climate anxiety would be akin to a generational curse — nor do I think the joys of childhood should be tampered with doomsday clocks, higher risks of disease and health issues and climate change’s ripple effects on the economy, violent conflict and education. It certainly wasn’t filled with patriotic pride. For Anna, the US is not a culture, just a place on a map: As a US citizen, I wield enormous privilege by virtue of location, alone… Climate anxiety is becoming unbearableClimate anxiety knows no national borders — according to a study from the University of Bath, nearly 40% of 16- to 25-year-old participants from several countries stated that they were hesitant to have children because of climate change. Threats for climate change!Other organizations, such as the Canadian “No Future No Children” group, have gained considerable traction among teens, many of whom are pledging not to have children until their government takes climate change more seriously. …many of my decisions emerge from a need for control. Like many Gen Z and Millennial individuals, I feel largely powerless within today’s environmental and political climate. The pointless rituals of comfort to soothe the anxiety: With larger policy control out of the picture, I find myself grasping for any miniscule way to assuage my climate anxiety — finding green travel alternatives, reusing plastic bottles until they fall apart, buying locally sourced food and repurposing any clothes or unwanted items. My decision over whether to have children is yet another example of exerting control over events that seem to be, at this rate, uncontrollable. The purpose of the story (for CNN at least) is to push the propaganda for the UN annual junket. The editors even admit that: This story is part of CNN’s coverage of climate change ahead of the COP28 summit … In reality of course, for most fertile adults it’s not about climate change but about the cost of living. Give them cheap fossil fuels and a culture that believes in itself. h/t Willie Soon.

By Jo Nova Hottest 12 months in 125,000 say EU Soothsayer scientists UPDATE: This graph shows the ice-core data up until 1855. Think for a minute about how stupid this claim is that no single year, not one, in the last 125,000 years was warmer than the last 12 months. Cavemen are rolling in their graves. It’s “virtually certain” said two journalists at Reuters. It was broken by 0.4 degrees! Homo Sapiens have had satellite data for 44 years, which only leaves 124,956 years of extrapolation to guess at the rest. Not one journalist at the ABC, Sydney Morning Herald, CNN, or anywhere, asked the “scientists” — how would you know? Do tell us, professor, what exactly was the temperature from November 6,789 BC to October 6,788? And to a tenth of a degree, and globally. I heard it was hot? Try to imagine what kind of miraculous science makes these headlines make sense? Did the EU team find neolithic newspapers hidden in caves in Turkey? Could they reconstruct temperatures from 10,000 BC to 1978 to a tenth of a degree Celsius. And not just Turkish temperatures but ones in Timbuktu and Peru too? Those goat herders needed a satellite program. Perhaps clay pots powered with goat dung?
It’s as if thousands of hotter Holocene years never existedStudies all around the world show sea levels were as much as 1 – 2 meters higher 6,000 years ago, and have been falling for thousands of years. For example, studies on mangroves in Brazil show sea levels were about 2.7 meters higher in the mid-Holocene, and mangroves grew 34 kilometers further inland. (Fontes et al 2017). How does that happen if the world was cooler then? NoTricksZone lists sea level studies all over the world and CO2 Science lists other proxies. 6,000 years ago the world was so much warmer, the Sahara was lush green and wet. Even the sacred, revered ice cores from both Greenland and Antarctica show it was warmer. The deepest oceans around Indonesia were 2 degrees warmer 10,000 years ago. And 6,000 boreholes drilled around the world agree. Glaciers in Europe were so much smaller, that as the world cooled and they grew, they swallowed up thousands of pieces of evidence. In the recent warming some 4,000 new tools, bridles, pieces of leather have melted out of Norwegian glaciers alone. Many Pacific Island have only existed for three or four thousand years — emerging into the sunshine as sea levels fell from the Holocene peak. This pattern of falling sea levels all over the world doesn’t fit the climate models. Instead of just admitting the models are wrong, researchers call their failure the “Holocene Temperature Conundrum”. We’re going to have to fight for the Holocene — the modelers want to erase it to solve the conundrum. Shock news for alarmists, poor dears, –Ruairi Keep reading → By Jo Nova Top 20 Energy mining nations are planning to increase production, not decrease it.Despite 151 nations signing the Paris Agreement, the UNEP has all but admitted that most of the world is not even pretending to meet their emissions promises. As is obvious in the graph below, governments of the top 20 producers of the evil coal, oil and gas are planning to dig up even more of it by 2030 than they do now. These 20 nations produce 80% of the world’s fossil fuels and somewhere out there are lots of customers. The report appears to be a scorecard to guilt-trip the 20 naughty nations into giving up warmth, food or billions of dollars in exports, but it reads like the Paris Agreement is pure charade. Governments plan to produce double the fossil fuels in 2030 than the 1.5°C warming limit allowsStockholm, 8 November 2023 – A major new report published today finds that governments plan to produce around 110% more fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C, and 69% more than would be consistent with 2°C. Who are we kidding?The Production Gap really means “The Overshoot”.  Figure ES.1 Speaking of which China
