It’s time for all governments to ask far more questions about the need for NetZero…..
Its very clear there are two opposing scientific factions suggesting climate policy action.
Climate alarmists…
They continue to communicate climate science with emergency rhetoric pushed by the UN IPCC and they demand that there is a so-called scientific consensus that the climate is an emergency and that government policies must follow a NetZero journey.
They publish scientific reports based far too much on unsubstantiated theories and climate models that continue to fail to correctly predict the future climate changes. Therefore, these reports continue to have significant risk level ambiguity. The political arm of these same organization’s virtue signal at COPs meetings about climate change being an “existential threat.”
In the past they convinced western governments to fund a climate emergency industrial complex that has ensnared most of the scientific community with funding subjugation.
Climate Realists ….
They have come to a far different conclusion from the Climate alarmists.
Their position is that NetZero is unnecessary, technologically unattainable, economically unviable and extremely foolish.
This group is growing with many significant scientific experts now joining their team.
They will be getting a lot more attention and support from new western governments that are fast running out of confidence with the NetZero approach, and who are decommitting from the IPCC and COPs extravaganzas.
These climate realists have a lot more historical facts and scientific logic on their side of the argument. They can demonstrate that on nearly every metric earths ecosystems are thriving and that this is accruing from a modest warming and an increase in CO2, and that the human condition continues to improve using the power of fossil fuels.
They agree that the climate is slightly warming, but that its not an emergency, and its not us. They have facts that show that our climate has warmed and then cooled 5 times in the last 10,000 years and has been warmer than now, and we flourished in times of warmth and suffered in times of cold.
They agree that CO2 has increased over the last few centuries , but there is no proof that all of the CO2 increase is caused by humans and that increased CO2 has caused all the temperature increase.
They show how long-range average adverse weather or environmental extremes are declining.
They have reports that show that disaster losses have been increasing but show how they are not directly due to climate change.
They explain that climate models have failed to correctly predict any future climate changes.
They provide a strong case for climate adaptation to be prioritized over any climate mitigation.
They explain that renewables such as Wind & Solar and EVs are not a future solution in terms of reliability, scalability and affordability, and will expose us to supply chains with high waste and pollution issues far worse than fossil fuels.
They make it clear that Fossil fuels must be utilized and developed across the globe for the rest of this century to support prosperity and must be driven by affordability.
They favor nuclear power and natural gas as the best outlook for affordable and reliable energy.
Their recommendation is that we need to refocus on prosperity through re-industrialization and technological innovation rather than continuing to waste our wealth on NetZero.
It's taken me a bit to subscribe. I'm understanding energy issues in a new way with Doomberg's work and your work. I'm trying to understand...so I ordered up your book at the public library. Struggling with my attention span since post covid infections (despite N95 masking) so I hope I can make it through.
All you need to have known about Harris’ prospects on November 5 was that she polled less than 5% in the 2020 Democrat primaries. Her popularity only decreased from there as her visibility increased on the national stage.
I suspect they'll bury it in something that's obfuscated like say "Inflation reduction act"... pour trillions into the economy to reduce the pressure of asset appreciation. /snark.
Great call, on the devastating electoral effects of absurd global warming policies. Robert. Will be waiting to see if Trump gives Musk the tarriffs, tax breaks, and huge Federal hand outs he needs to keep his Teslas running, his spaceships flying and his holes boring in Bastrop, Texas. Well, Bastrop is boring anyway. Musk's economic reforms will do only one thing: put more money in Musk's pocket. Lets hope the Trump and Musk egos collide soon, and TRump cuts off all EV subsidies, as well as all subsidies to scientifically useless manned space flights. Danger, Will Robinson!!
It seems to me that Musk’s Tesla is so far ahead of the “competitors” in EV space that he can endure the loss of subsidies and watch the others all go out of business. With China EVs tariffed to 1000% the only US EV option of Tesla will prove quite lucrative for Mr Musk.
Democrats have not been the party of working people since 1968 and the Chicago take-over of the party by far left (classic) Marxists. Dems are now a neo-Marxist party (on the outside) and a Corporatist (aka Fascist) on the inside. Remember the only difference between Communists and Fascists is the fact that Fascists will allow private ownership of the means of production under government control, whereas Communists insist on Government ownership of the means of production. Both are absolutely socialist, but with Fascists historically favoring Nationalism (hence National Socialists - NAZIs), whereas Communists thought in global terms. So whether the Communist Wing (Bernie/AOC) or the Fascist Wing (Schumer, Pelosi, etc.) Democrats are opposed to individual freedom. Every individual must exist within the state, and nothing outside the state (Mussolini). The great hypocrisy has been Democrats accusing Trump of Fascism.
Robert, thank you for keeping on top of this theme. You were early and have been persistent highlighting how expensive electricity is vs. natural gas and the dark money behind the efforts to restrict use of gas. Please keep up the good work.
The Democrats have no one but themselves to blame. They first refused to have a primary, a grueling process that weeds out those with little stamina, and those who refuse to state their positions and opinions.
Plenty thought Biden wasn’t mentally up to the job; and when that became evident, Kamala was installed without a single vote.
She refused to clearly state her positions; and on most major positions from 2019 she did a 180° turn, and refused to state why.
She did say her principles had not changed; but with her new unexplained positions, it seemed as if her principles were mostly saying what she needed to say to get elected.
I think most did not believe her new U-Turned positions were sincere. I firmly believe most people will give the benefit of the doubt to people with whom they disagree if they believe the positions are heartfelt.
But she gave off so much doubt about herself, and in the few interviews she sat for it appeared that she had not considered what she would do if the Senate or House disagreed with her policies or decisions.
Biden did her no favors by stating he’d only consider a black female for VP. He’d been much off stating he selected her because she was the best candidate, period.
I sincerely hope the upper echelons of the Democratic Party are somehow given some form of recognition which hopefully at least honours their betrayal of the country for their own massive evil greed and corruption.
NO-NetZero.

Great post, Mr. Bryce. Thank you.
As for me, the "shock and awe" of the election results take me back to Operation Desert Storm, some 30+ years now.
Brilliant. Thanks Robert

This is not an endorsement of the prior Republican Party, either. Too many of them are just Democrat-Lite.

Thank Goodness! Refreshing news. There is hope.
Amen!
Will Trump be able to rid us of Offshore wind turbines on the East Coast?
Here's hoping. - And prevent any federal funding for those proposed off the west coast.

Not because she was the best DEI candidate.
Well done and I am one who believes in natural gas
Well done, Robert.
Tomorrow we may post some hair-on-fire “existential” energy/environmental policy headlines just for fun.
I look forward to that. Suggested a similar post for Doomberg, "The Five Dumbest Things in Energy" this year.
I sincerely hope the upper echelons of the Democratic Party are somehow given some form of recognition which hopefully at least honours their betrayal of the country for their own massive evil greed and corruption.
