Cross-posted from Irregular Climate Like it or not (I obviously don’t) the green movement has failed.

Mind of Dan: The true cost of gasoline
Cross-posed from Irregular Climate Of course the same applies for coal. More-so actually because coal pollutes far more than gasoline. The fact is that thanks to negative externalities the price of fossil fuels is artificially low. And that is the main reason why we use so many, and why clean energy has a hard time […]

Cross-posted from Irregular Climate Potholer54 is at it again: Sceptical Science provides us with a nice graph that explains all of this in detail: And Real Climate sums it up: According to these results, a 21st-century Maunder Minimum would only slightly diminish future warming.

Of course not in the way Morano would like. No, he is […]

I was underwhelmed by all major parties during this election. But this might just be my decent into cynicism. To the Conservatives’, who won a majority government, credit, they have done a decent job over the past few years (albeit in a minority government), and as long as you ignore science and the environment (more […]
