The Clean Power and Electrification Pathway

The Clean Power and Electrification Pathway

Edison International Climate change and air pollution pose serious threats. Climate change effects, such as sea level rise and longer, more intense heat waves, are now occurring. In California, while significant progress has been made, too many communities continue to experience asthma and other air quality-related health issues. Our utility, Southern California Edison, has developed an integrated framework that we’re calling the Clean Power and Electrification Pathway to fight climate change and improve air quality. It builds upon existing state policies to achieve California’s environmental goals, including reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 40 percent from 1990 levels by 2030 …

Should ‘global warming’ fraudsters spend time in the clink?

Exclusive: Pat Boone offers Part 3 in his series on discredting of ‘hockey stick’ scientist By Pat Boone October 30, 2019 Gentle reader – and fellow taxpayer – let us again examine an important and unfolding story of global climate science fraud unreported by “fake news,” or to put it more tactfully, inaccurate, biased and selective mainstream media. The recent Mann v. Ball lawsuit verdict, dubbed the “science trial of the century,” has repercussions so profound it has spurred me to write this series of articles (this is the third, if you’re counting). Please pay attention – or you’ll feel …

Oscillations of the baseline of solar magnetic field and solar irradiance on a millennial timescale

V. V. Zharkova, S. J. Shepherd, S. I. Zharkov & E. Popova Scientific Reports volume 9, Article number: 9197 (2019) Abstract Recently discovered long-term oscillations of the solar background magnetic field associated with double dynamo waves generated in inner and outer layers of the Sun indicate that the solar activity is heading in the next three decades (2019–2055) to a Modern grand minimum similar to Maunder one. On the other hand, a reconstruction of solar total irradiance suggests that since the Maunder minimum there is an increase in the cycle-averaged total solar irradiance (TSI) by a value of about 1–1.5 …

Accumulation of Carbon Dioxide and Methane in the Earth’s Atmosphere is not responsible for the Recent Worldwide Heat Wave

L.F. Khilyuk, and G.V. Chilingar Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, US Sections, Los Angeles, USA Email: gchilin@usc.edu ABSTRACT Evolution of carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere does not contribute to global warming. INTRODUCTION It is hot (very hot) in the most of Europe and North America and also in Australia, India, and Pakistan. This year the atmospheric heat broke all the records. There are some recent samples of the record high temperatures (Yahoo News, July 26, 2019): 42.6 C (108.7 F) in Paris, 39.9 C (103.8 F) in Belgium, 40.5 C (104.9 F) in Germany, and 38.8 C (101 …

Antarctica’s Larsen Ice Shelf Break-Up Driven by Geological Heat Flow Not Climate Change

Plate Climatology | James Edward Kamis | January 19, 2017 Figure 1  North tip of Antarctic Continent including Larsen Ice Shelf Outline (black line), very active West Antarctica Rift / Fault System (red lines), and currently erupting or semi-active volcanoes (red dots). Progressive bottom melting and break-up of West Antarctica’s seafloor hugging Larsen Ice Shelf is fueled by heat and heated fluid flow from numerous very active geological features, and not climate change. This ice shelf break-up process has been the focus of an absolute worldwide media frenzy contending man-made atmospheric global warming is at work in the northwest peninsula …

CO2 Retains Heat For Only 0.0001 Seconds, Warming ‘Not Possible’

PSI October 21, 2019 | Written by Kenneth Richard Mainstream climate science claims CO2 molecules “slow down the rate of heat loss from the surface” as a blanket does. And yet the rate at which a CO2 molecule retains or slows down heat loss is, at most, a negligible 0.0001 of a second. A CO2 concentration of 300 ppm versus 400 ppm will, therefore, have no detectable impact. SkepticalScience, a blog spearheaded by climate science “consensus” advocate John Cook, is widely considered the explanatory guidebook for the anthropogenic global warming movement. The blog claims CO2 molecules, with a representation of four …

The Case for Blaming Humans for Global Warming

Principia Scientific | Oct. 18, 2019 Written by Roger W. Cohen, PhD If 20th century warming was indeed exceptional, then previous warming episodes and all natural variations must have been smaller. Interestingly, in the first IPCC report of 1990, we saw this graphic (above)  of global temperature since about the year 1000. There is a strong Medieval Warming Period, a deep Little Ice Age, and a sporadic warming trend since around 1700. But when we get to the 2001 Report, we are presented with the Hockey Stick. It was based on various proxy “thermometers” such as tree rings. It seems …

UN Climate Scientist: ‘CO2 Emissions Are Making Earth Greener, More Fertile’

Principia Scientific | October 16, 2019 Carbon dioxide emissions are making the Earth greener and more fertile, a United Nations (UN) climate scientist has said. In a paper for the Global Warming Policy Foundation, Dr Indur Goklany, who has previously represented the United States on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), says that the rising level of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere “is currently net beneficial for both humanity and the biosphere generally”. The benefits are real, whereas the costs of warming are uncertain,” he adds. “Carbon dioxide fertilises plants, and emissions from fossil fuels have already had a …

NASA Pinpoints Cause of Earth’s Recent Record Carbon Dioxide Spike

NASA Oct. 12, 2017 RELEASE 17-082 Image: The last El Nino in 2015-16 impacted the amount of carbon dioxide that Earth’s tropical regions released into the atmosphere, leading to Earth’s recent record spike in atmospheric carbon dioxide. The effects of the El Nino were different in each region. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech A new NASA study provides space-based evidence that Earth’s tropical regions were the cause of the largest annual increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration seen in at least 2,000 years. Scientists suspected the 2015-16 El Nino — one of the largest on record — was responsible, but exactly how has …
