global warming

“Time is melting away for one of Antarctica’s biggest glaciers, and its rapid deterioration could end with the ice shelf’s complete collapse in just a few years,” alarmist researchers warned at a virtual press briefing on Dec. 13, 2021 at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU)–a once outstanding professional society, but now a shill for the left.

We have this article by Mindy Weisberger, published December 21, 2021, at least four years after discovering the 91 additional volcanoes (138 total) underneath the melting glacier. Her article does not even mention the word volcanoes. The Thwaites glacier should have broken off around 2019, but it’s still there and still melting from below caused by volcanic activities, yet these useless so called scientists still place all the blame for melting on humans.

This websites presents articles about people and their relationship to use of energy for a better life. The use of fossil fuels has improved life tremendously. It has caused pollution. Steps have been taken to reduce the pollution. One political party in the USA is determined to stop use of fossil fuels and return life to the way it was more than a century ago. The other political party is determined to continue the use of fossil fuels and the high standards of modern societies. Similar struggles are taking place in other countries. This will have more impact than many wars. A very big struggle is coming.

This topic is very important and extremely controversial. Everyone who appreciates freedom and prosperity needs to decide whether they elect politicians who are against fossil fuels or for them. Your wellbeing depends on it.

Responding effectively to the challenge of climate change requires a full understanding that there is now a high degree of agreement among climate scientists about the fact that climate change is happening because of human activities, and that the risks will increase the longer greenhouse gas emissions continue.

Calls to keep fossil fuels in the ground are anathema to leaders in the oil and gas industry, who insist the world will continue “to be thirsty for all energy sources” in the years ahead.

Climate activists and campaign groups are pursuing an abrupt end to the fossil fuel era, condemning the latest round of net-zero pledges from many governments and corporations as a smokescreen that fails to meet the demands of the climate emergency.

Many states and the utilities they regulate are talking about replacing their coal and gas fired generators with solar and wind power.

Given the high intermittency of wind and solar the idea of running on solar and wind turns out to be an extremely costly prospect. It is all about reliability. Electricity must be there when we need it.

The world was previously decarbonized in the 1800’s and earlier, but Biden lacks a basic understanding of what crude oil is used for, as he tinkers with the supply chain of oil that supports the lifestyles and economies for the world’s 8 billion. A year before being inaugurated President in 2021, Biden professed that “we are going to get rid of fossil fuels.

America will be discouraging U.S. energy independence, starting with tightening restrictions on fossil fuel development by suspending Federal Oil and Gas Permits, encouraging the shuttering, and halting of further fracking efforts in America.

Kerry said the recent uptick in coal use over the last year and plans by countries to continue building coal plants will worsen global warming and urged countries to change course.

The president finally admits we need more oil refineries but lies about supply

Biden killed a major oil refinery expansion on May 14, just five weeks ago, and killed a one million acre oil and gas lease proposed for Alaska on May 12. Some might dismiss Biden’s refusal to open up one million acres in Alaska, but Biden has yet to hold a single onshore lease sale and delayed multiple oil and gas lease sales a second time last week.

President Joe Biden appears to be doing everything in his power to lower energy prices. Last month, Biden officials eased sanctions on Venezuela with an eye to increasing oil imports. Next month, Biden will travel to Saudi Arabia with the intention of improving relations and increasing oil production.

But none of those actions will lower energy prices. Increasing oil production in Venezuela would take years and it wouldn’t be nearly enough to make up for the reduction of oil imports from Russia. Even Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates together could not produce enough oil to offset declining supply from Russia.

But these gestures pale in comparison to the overarching hostility the Biden Administration has directed toward oil and gas companies since taking office.

Over the course of the 20th century, the Jakobshavn Glacier in Iceland retreated about 10 to 15 kilometers. Over just the next eight years, it retreated about the same amount, For anyone who has entertained doubts about the warming of the planet, a trip to Greenland serves as a bracing corrective.

Greenland is about the size of Alaska and California combined and, except at its coasts, is covered by ice that in places is nearly two miles thick. Even that’s only a fraction of the ice in Antarctica, which is more than six times as large. But the Arctic is warming at nearly four times the global average, meaning Greenland’s ice also poses a nearer-term risk because it is melting faster. But just how fast is Greenland’s ice melting right now? Is this an emergency for our time, or is it a problem for the future?...... Global warming is real and getting worse, Pielke said, yet still it’s possible that humanity will be able to adapt to, and compensate for, its effects. [Is mankind the cause of this warming? Can mankind control climate change? The answers to these two questions is NO! Climate change is caused by the sun and other physics of the solar system. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is the molecule of life.]

We are faced with the great challenge of limiting global warming to below 2°C.

The large-scale production of fossil fuel energy which was initiated by the Industrial Revolution and accelerated in the 20th century has led to great human development – for a minority. For the very few, it has even generated extreme wealth. On the other side of this development stand the poor and the poorest of the poor. The structural violence of this development predetermines their lives. Sources of fossil fuel energy are private goods, owned by corporations or controlled by governments.

Activists constantly talk about the existential threat climate change poses and the deaths natural disasters inflict—but they never quite manage to total up these deaths. One reason is that it’s easier to bend the data about disaster frequency than to bend death statistics. Death tolls tell a very clear story: People are safer from climate-related disasters than ever before.

Charles Battig, MD, electrical engineer, member: CO2 Coalition, The Heartland Institute, TRCS: This presentation shows that carbon dioxide is an essential molecule for life on Earth and not a pollutant like environmental extremists and their politicians claim. People in the free world must come to their senses regarding the importance of fossil fuels for freedom, strong economies, peace, prosperity, healthy environment, preservation of wildlife habitat and biodiversity. An easy to understand document like this is essential for the public. The nuclear power industry should stop making claims that nuclear power can save the world and polar bears from catastrophic man-made global warming. Nuclear power is not able to control Earth's climate. This presentation and many like it clearly explain what controls climate change. Nuclear power is essential to providing strong economies around the world for thousands of years and helping poorer, less prosperous people. It should rely on that strength to get new nuclear power plants going worldwide.

Climate alarm is nonsense. The idea that rising CO2 will cause dangerous change is nonsense. Actually, it will have no [detrimental] effect on the climate but a wonderful effect on plant life. But the recent rise in CO2 (since about 1850) is because of man burning fossil fuels.
