Gavin Newsom signs bill to keep California's last nuclear energy plant open despite environmentalis

EDF will be fine. Germany's situation is actually worse.

 

Even 50-year-old climate models correctly predicted global warming

Climate Change Predictions from the Past are Coming True

Yup. The money kept us afloat.

 

Sure, you believe it so it make it true. You had money in Enron I bet

 

I think the main reason why climate alarmists have become so loud and strident lately is because they are aware (even if only subconsciously) how insubstantial is the actual data case for the extreme measures they advocate. A 2020 paper explained this in some detail.


How much human-caused global warming should we expect?

By Andy May OMG! The world is going to end, and we caused it. This story, in one form or another, goes back to biblical times. According to Genesis (6:9 to 9:17) God decided that humans had sinned too much and must be punished, so he called up a great flood to destroy the world.…

". . . Connolly, Connolly, Carter and Soon have written a new paper (Connolly, et al. 2020) examining the IPCC predictions the UNFCCC used to construct the Paris Agreement. We will refer to their paper as “C3S20.” While the paper has just been published, it has been a work-in-progress for some time. Dr. Robert M. Carter passed away on January 19, 2016, but he did a considerable amount of work on an earlier version of the paper.
C3S20 asks, how much human-caused warming will occur if we do nothing, that is, continue “business-as-usual?” It’s unfortunate, but the IPCC, for all their work, do not adequately answer that question, their projections are all based on abstract “scenarios.”. . .
As we see by reading C3S20, the 2.0°C limit idea in the UNFCCC Paris Agreement is very flawed. The agreement does not define the preindustrial starting point, either as a temperature or a greenhouse concentration. It is not even defined in time. The effect of human-emitted greenhouse gases is not known accurately enough. This is clearly seen in Figure 2. The error in warming estimates for 2020, is larger than the total surface warming since 1850. Finally, there have been no observed problems with warming or greenhouse gas emissions. The net impacts of warming and higher greenhouse gas concentrations have been positive to date according to the economists that have studied the issue. Further, the impacts are likely to remain positive for some time to come.
The 2.0°C limit is arbitrary and subjective (Mahony 2015) and has no starting point. There is no way to accurately project the effects of the emissions the UNFCCC seeks to control, and two degrees of warming is just as likely to be beneficial as harmful. Further, we have no idea how natural forces will affect future climate, will they contribute to warming or work in the opposite way? There are studies that point both ways. See here and here. . . ."

 

Another bad guess.

 

P

He did learn a thing or two from Jerry Brown: “Don’t let your cronies talk you into political suicide”. Newsom’s schtic is making bold moves that make big news then get reversed by the courts and don’t get reported.
Newsom just wants to run for Prez, because he is termed out in 2026, I believe.
He came from the same “crucible” of press as Kamela Harris. What can possibly go wrong. LOL.

 

Always worth presenting.

 

The global warming witnessed over the past 150 years matches nearly perfectly what is expected from greenhouse gas emissions and other human activity, both in the simple model examined here and in more complex climate models. The best estimate of the human contribution to modern warming is around 100%.

Some uncertainty remains due to the role of natural variability, but researchers suggest that ocean fluctuations and similar factors are unlikely to be the cause of more than a small fraction of modern global warming.

More than 99.9% of studies agree: Humans caused climate change
https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2021/10/more-999-studies-agree-humans-caused-climate-change

A net 5 billion metric tons of human-produced carbon remain in the atmosphere each year, raising the global average carbon dioxide concentrations by about 2.3 parts per million per year. Since 1750, humans have increased the abundance of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by nearly 50 percent

Did you see him trapesing around the West Wing when the President wasn't even there..............................

 

Are those the ones that predicted the coming ice age?

 

Yawn. Data trump propaganda. Please see #283.
