By-products of oil make up more than half of its uses. Oil for energy and for by-products are key to the modern world. When we run out of oil, it will most likely be replaced by synthetic hydrocarbons, not hydrogen and electric batteries for wind, solar, and electric vehicles. This will continue the CO2, H2O, hydrocarbon cycle of nature. Hydrogen and Lithium batteries require different infrastructures than fossil fuels, have new risks, and more impact on the environment. Nuclear power advocates who claim that nuclear power can control climate change need to take a few more courses in the future of nuclear power and what controls climate. They are making a mistake that is not helping nuclear power construction to get going again.
Early 2020, the world was struck by the man-made disaster of the spread of the COVID-19 virus that escaped from the Wuhan laboratory (Rogin, 2021). But long before this incredible blunder started to be acknowledged after much denying, world leaders and some influential billionaires had already announced what would be the next and even more expensive economic devastation, climate change policies and “decarbonation” of our economies. These perspectives are far worse than a transient virus misery.
In the midst of this COVID-19 man-made disaster I started, as a geophysicist, geochemist and computer scientist, to painfully resent the ludicrous harping of ecologist crooks, NGOs and supranational bodies of the UN to make them feel guilty to just try to make a living for themselves and for their families and to the forthcoming requirement for them to resort to a more frugal way of living «to save the planet» when they themselves have probably not ever experienced what it means to make ends meets.
President Obama’s advice to college graduates «you can’t just accept what the experts and the people in charge tell you» was spot on and I could not accept to be a silent accomplice of the future destruction of western economies for a witch hunt without going in depth: 1) into the relevance of the brandished scientific « proofs » arising from so many disciplines as climate science is just an illusion but resorts to a bunch of well known disciplines as chemistry, physics, geology, astronomy, biology, to name a few, 2) the relevance of computer models mainly based on fluid mechanics equations which are unable to make a decent fifteen day forecast but will – based on the same physical principles and technology – tell you the average temperature a century away, and 3) the delirious policies that will be implemented to fight the enemy, nothing less than the gas of life, the gas which has enabled in the end all living species on this planet to exist. One should never forget that irreplaceable and widely available fossil energy sources together with nuclear energy have simply enabled mankind to move out of the cave and improve living conditions on earth as never imagined before.

Gregory Wrightstone, geologist has been investigating the Earth’s processes for more than 35 years. He is author of the newly published book Inconvenient Facts: There is certainly no doubt that the southwest of the United States experienced a severe drought in the period 2000 to 2018, but this study uses cherry picked data that ends in 2018, just as the drought itself was ending. Knowing full well that the dry period had ended more than a year prior to the time of publication, the authors still maintained the it was “ongoing as of 2020.” This is yet one more example of the willful abuse of science in order to further a state of fear concerning supposed man-made climate change.
America’s mild Fall is due to low solar activity and a meridional jet stream, not man’s irrelevant CO2 emissions.
A mild fall has made many doubt that this winter will mirror last year’s record snow and deadly freezes; however, latest weather models will check any complacency as they reveal that the U.S. should start bracing for a winter of old.
This book is essential reading for every American who is troubled by the misleading information in the media about climate change and the effects of policies designed to eliminate the use of fossil fuels.
The Netherlands became a prosperous country by excelling in many sectors. Excellence was based on a well-educated work force. Let me mention the engineers in our energy sector who provided affordable, reliable, and clean energy 24/7. Let me also mention the professionals in our public transport system that was widely praised for its punctuality and comfort. And let me especially mention our agricultural sector, which is seen worldwide as a textbook example of how to farm intensively in an increasingly sustainable way. And I could go on and on. The Netherlands was a country to be proud of. How could it go so wrong in such a short time?
With all due respect, our country has for many years been governed by ministers who no longer have a clue about their portfolio. Because of their incompetence they are an easy prey for militant groups and cunning lobbyists. As a result, rules and laws have been made that completely miss the point. Instead of solving problems, crises are created. As a result, we see the number of crises piling up. Step by step, every economic and social sector becomes a victim of the incompetence of the government. It seems as if every successful national activity must be destroyed, preferably before 2030.
In today's Dutch public sector, the motto is, "Forbidden to think, we work exclusively with protocols and checklists. Even worse, those top-down protocols are increasingly coming from fanatical alarmists and bigoted ecologists. What a depressing work environment!
This video explains in simple terms why a 100% production of energy using windmills is impossible and unpayable in practice, despite all the positive information coming from green power advocates.
“The Nitrogen Bomb Explodes in The Netherlands” is the headline, referring to the social explosion underway against the Dutch government’s policy of drastically cutting agriculture—especially livestock—under the green excuse of cutting nitrogen emissions and run-off, to save the planet. This week, Dutch farmers have protested with putting hay bales on the highways, hosing manure on roadways, and letting cows loose at Parliament.
This lecture summarizes the use of lies going back more than 2000 years by governments and institutions to control the population and gain wealth and power. It is the equivalent of warfare, but without swords and guns. Today, lies about carbon dioxide being a pollutant are being used to deny access to the most useful resource on the planet, fossil fuels, to force an 85% reduction in population, and gain power and wealth for a sinister few.
Nuclear power generation can play a crucial role in helping the world reach a key goal of zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century, especially in countries with low wind resources, according to new work in Nature Energy from Lei Duan and Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie's Department of Global Ecology.
Human activity is spewing carbon pollution into the atmosphere, affecting the global carbon cycle and causing warming, as well as altered precipitation patterns. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, to minimize catastrophic climate impacts, it's important that humanity work to keep the global mean temperature increase under 1.5 degrees Celsius relative to pre-industrial levels. To achieve this goal, the panel said carbon emissions from across the energy system would have to reach zero by the middle of this century.
“This message should be sent to every liberal and every Greenie. If all liberals, dippers and greenies hate oil, then they should remove all of their clothes, all made from oil. Stop walking on concrete and paved sidewalks as these are made from oil, walk on real dirt without shoes like your ancestors of about 1000 years ago did. STOP ever so smugly drinking your lattes while telling us about your hypocrisy.....remove your panties now... and never mind the fiberglass skis, and gortex jackets and gloves that keep you warm on the slopes in the winter.... let's be clear about oil.
Nick DeIuliis, The Hill: While the novel coronavirus has triggered a global debate on how to balance short-term infection rates with long-term economic viability, a crucial epiphany is slowly emerging through the deliberations. Society realizes that the “Church of Climate” has propagated an epic fraud upon individual rights, taxpayers, and free enterprise.
