Meticulous Research Review Questions Environmental Impacts and Feasibility of “Green Energy” Transition CERES Published: 16 September 2020 A meticulous new review published in the scientific journal, Energies, conducted by a team of Irish and US-based researchers including CERES researchers, raises surprising and unsettling questions about the feasibility and the environmental impacts of the transition to renewable energy sources. Concern for climate change has driven massive investment in new “green energy” policies intended to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and other environmental impacts from the fossil fuel industry. The world spent US$3,660 billion on climate change projects over the eight-year period …

CFact By Peter Murphy | September 29th, 2020 A regional transportation agency in California recently approved a far-reaching societal makeover plan that offers a glimpse into the very near future of America, if such absurdities take hold under the ruse of dealing with a “climate emergency.” The coronavirus pandemic has revealed the inner-tyrants of many politicians across the country with the mandatory closure of “non-essential” businesses, schools and churches under the guise of a health emergency. The top-down government control over the American populace arising from the pandemic is supposed to be temporary, yet it’s a warm-up for upcoming climate …

Shale Mag By Tom Tamarkin – September 29, 2020 Dr. George Chilingar is truly the Renaissance man of the petroleum and gas industry. As professor emeritus of the University of Southern California, he has over sixty years of research and teaching behind him. In the 1960s, Dr. Chilingar developed the first practical natural gas plunger lift method responsible for the deliquification of a natural gas well based on his use of an à la-adiabatic process. His invention had an extremely low energy cost as well as low environmental impact and is in use today throughout the world. In the late …

David Archibald | Sept. 24, 2020 In energy policy, the Australian government is compounding stupidity upon stupidity. Hundreds of millions of dollars are now to be spent on the dead end that is the hydrogen economy. To put that stupidity into context, let’s go back a few years and look at the missed opportunities to put things to right. After Trump’s election win in 2016, Myron Ebell of the Competitive Enterprise Institute in Washington was given the job of finding a director for the Environmental Protection Agency. Instead of taking the job himself as he should have done, the job …

Willie Soon is an astrophysicist and a geoscientist based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This bio and account of the work of Willie Soon debunks lies of the generously funded environmental left’s attacks on an honest climate scientist. At at the Ninth International Conference on Climate Change in 2014, Soon accepted the “Courage in Defense of Science Award.” “The whole point of science is to question accepted dogmas. For that reason, I respect Willie Soon as a good scientist and a courageous citizen.’’— Dr. Freeman Dyson in the Boston Globe, November 5, 2013 “The Heartland Institute stands four-square behind Willie Soon. He’s a brilliant …

By Jim Steele | Sept. 14, 2020 Scientific evidence reveals there has been no climate effect regards California’s wildfires! None! The data below proves it beyond all doubt. There is no denying that warmer temperatures can cause drier fuels and promote larger fires. But that fact is being misapplied to all wildfires. About 70% of California’s 2020 burnt areas have been in grasslands and dead grass is so dry by the end of California’s annual summer drought that dead grasses are totally insensitive to any added warmth from climate change. Dead grasses only require a few hours of warm dry …

By David Archibald August 23, 2020 The solar plasma temperature has plunged to a new low for the instrument record. Coincidentally or not, the temperature of the southern hemisphere has also plunged over the last couple of weeks. When do we start worrying? Figure 1: Temperature of the solar wind plasma As Figure 1 shows, the temperature of the solar wind has hit a new low for the instrument record. As it is energy from the Sun that keeps the Earth from looking like Pluto, the lower plasma temperature indicates that the Sun’s surface is cooling. Surely the Earth’s surface …

Daily Caller Chris White | August 12, 2020 California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris said in 2019 that she would consider ending the Senate filibuster as president if Republican lawmakers refused to embrace legislation addressing what she and other Democrats believe is a climate crisis. Harris, who was selected Tuesday as running mate on former Vice President Joe Biden’s Democratic presidential bid, made the suggestion during a CNN climate crisis town hall in September 2019 before ending her own run for president in December. “If they fail to act, as president of the United States, I am prepared to get rid …
