The banks are here to help with the multi-trillion dollar transition to carbon neutrality by 2050! Commonwealth Bank head of institutional banking and markets Andrew Hinchliff said there was a wall of funds looking to finance the transition, not just because it was the moral and ethical thing to do but also for the business…

Kerry and Biden, the gift to China that just keeps giving. Xie said Beijing and Washington would work together on emissions reductions, and share technology and expertise on clean energy, decarbonisation and electrification to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. In 2020, according to The Guardian, the FBI identified Chinese technology theft as the biggest…

China is not the only country that is playing the useful green idiots of the west for suckers. China has done a great job of getting them on side by meaningless green gestures and now India has got into the game. First Mr Modi played hard to get, threatening to boycott the meeting, then he…

As leaders prepare to gather in Glasgow for the United Nations climate-change conference, you may think the world has agreed to reduce and eventually eliminate its dependency on fossil fuels, stepping up its…

“Net Zero” is pointless. There is no CO2 “greenhouse effect.” Basic physics proves that. CO2 absorbs outgoing longwave infrared radiation (heat) as photons at the 14.8 microns frequency (Planck’s Law). The temperature of absorption at 14.8 microns is -80 degrees Celsius (Wien’s Displacement Law). Minus 80 degrees Celsius is 95 degrees lower than average atmospheric…

I was waiting for this because the Chinese have been playing the wokies of the west like trout with displays of RE installations and the distant promise of peak emissions. Update. Playing the wokies like a trout is quite wrong, the trout have the good sense to resist. The wokies are not resisting, they are…

The prime minister is said to be “irritated” by Alok Sharma, the man he appointed to chair the Cop26…

This is not entirely new but it is a very concise and compelling overview of the way things are going as climate and RE lunacy rule the western world at present. See the story in the file attached. Six fallacies One: There is a ‘green’ energy transitionTwo: Energy is like other commoditiesThree: Energy efficiency will…
