Hot Air Propaganda – Targeting the Uninformed

Hot Air Propaganda - Targeting the Uninformed

Malcolm Roberts writes:
A lie collapses slowly, then all at once.

Climate Change is a scam, a fundraiser for large corporations using the nobility paradox to get away with increasingly harmful policies that damage our economy and take away abundance and opportunity for all.

24 years ago today, the great Thomas Sowell nailed this one: Global warming propaganda is targeted at the uninformed.

Pacific Island Growth – No Rising Sea Level Here!

Jeh Island

Bookmark this: the next time a climate alarmist claims Pacific Islands are sinking under rising sea levels, blaming CO2 and urging us to subsidize solar panels & wind turbines, abandon petrol & diesel cars, and eat ze bugs, show them this 1943 WWII aerial photograph of Jeh in the Marshall Islands alongside a current Google Maps image. However don’t be surprised if the climate alarmist rejects the evidence before their eyes and ears, as that’s how they’ve been programmed.

Green Energy Falsity

Green Energy Falsity

Wind turbines depend entirely on coal. Seventy percent of steel is made from iron ore using coal. One megawatt of wind turbine capacity requires 220 tonnes of coal, which equals 220 small cars. Every wind turbine on earth must be completely replaced & rebuilt after 17-20 years.

Your (Climate) Testimony Is Not Serious

John Kerry Being Schooled

The scientific consensus is that today we have 406 parts per million of CO2 in the atmosphere.Scientists have said that the level of 350 is dangerous. So were are only 50 parts per million above dangerously low levels of CO2. Since mammals have walked the planet the average has been 1000 parts per million.

Sheesh! And this does not seem crazy to want to LOWER CO2?

Okay. Study this chart. Look at it real hard. Look until your eyeballs fall out of their sockets.

Materials requirements per terawatt-hour (TWh) of electricity produced for renewables:

Solar Photovoltaic (PV)
4,050 tons/TWh of concrete
7,900 tons/TWh of steel
2,700 tons/TWh of glass
850 tons/TWh of copper
680 tons/TWh of aluminum
210 tons/TWh of plastic

Hydroelectric Power
14,000 tons/TWh of concrete
67 tons/TWh of steel
1 ton/TWh of copper

Wind
8,000 tons/TWh of concrete
1,800 tons/TWh of steel
92 tons/TWh of glass
23 tons/TWh of copper
35 tons/TWh of aluminum
190 tons/TWh of plastic

Geothermal
1,850 tons/TWh of concrete
3,300 tons/TWh steel
2 tons/TWh of copper
100 tons/TWh of aluminum

Materials requirements per terawatt-hour (TWh) of electricity produced for nuclear and natural gas:

Nuclear
760 tons/TWh of concrete
160 tons/TWh of steel

So, tell me again how clean “green energy” really is? Mining for these raw materials would have to increase by >300% to achieve “net zero” goals, which would make that [arbitrary] target date by 2050 impossible.

Nuclear is by far the most efficient energy source we have, and it is the most “carbon-free” (and I use that term lightly) technology. Natural gas, while not carbon-free in the slightest, burns cleaner and is much more efficient than coal. If nuclear and natural gas aren’t a part of the “solution” to wane us off fossil fuels, then you, as an environmentalist, cannot be take seriously.
