Has Nature Communications committed reckless endangerment?

By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley | August 28, 2019 Here is an update on the case against Nature Communications and against the soi-disant “University” of California at Merced and various of its denizens in respect of a lamentable purported “study” that is in reality an unveiled personal attack on climate skeptics. The following letter, sent by me today (28 August 2019), shows that we are not only considering prosecution for fraud but also for reckless endangerment (U.S. criminal code), incitement to violence and breach of the peace (Justices of the Peace Act 1361, s. 1). I shall also be pursuing …

California Political Review August 8, 2019 By Stephen Frank A County that can take away your gas station is a county that takes away your freedom. If the Planners for the County could implement their plan, L.A. County would be the first county in the nation without PRIVATE transportation, other than a bike or feet. Think business could survive in that climate? Does the County even care? How many jobs will be lost immediately, how many businesses would be forced to close or move. Think you could like in Santa Monica and work in Pasadena, using government transportation—taking hours to …

Electric Vehicles in Germany Emit More Carbon Dioxide Than Diesel Vehicles

Institute for Energy Research June 10, 2019 A study by the IFO think tank in Munich found that electric vehicles in Germany emit 11 percent to 28 percent more carbon dioxide than their diesel counterparts. The study considered the production of batteries as well as the German electricity mix in making this determination. Germany spent thousands of euros on electric car subsidies per vehicle to put a million electric vehicles on the road, but those subsidies have done nothing to reach the country’s greenhouse gas emission targets. This is just the latest example of government programs expecting one outcome and …

The 2013 study purporting to demonstrate that number was fatally flawed and proved no such thing. “The claim that 97% of climate scientists believe humans are the primary cause of global warming is simply false,” CEI attorney Devin Watkins said in a statement. “That figure was created only by ignoring many climate …
