Is the US about to become the world’s largest oil producer? Our feature story says yes. To follow we have Trump’s offshore leasing program; record Russian gas production; Saudi Arabia’s gasoline price hike; Germany shuts down a nuclear reactor; Australia’s industry to power down during heatwave; Coal growth in Asia; the Snowy hydro project a “write off”; UK releases plans for coal phase-out; North America’s largest lithium battery; the wind (almost) always blows somewhere in Europe; fossil-fuel burning without the CO2; Scotland’s plans to combat coastal erosion and the struggle to save chocolate from climate change extinction.
Blowout 210
Chocolate extinct? Even if climate change wasn’t fake, climates will move, not disappear. Just like polar bears thrive despite doomsayers, so will chocolate. If people can commercially grow cucumbers and tomatoes in Canada with 40 below winters, solutions will follow chocolate price increases.
I saw this headline earlier this AM which originally seemed to dovetail perfectly with this thread….
“Yale Professor Says Trump Could Cause ‘Extinction of the Human Species’”
I wrongly assumed it was going to be a ‘Global Warming’ hit piece but it turned out to be a ‘Crazy Trump/Nuclear button’ hit piece. I guess it could also have been a ‘Russia Conspiracy’ hit piece or a Trump wants to make all ‘Women and Minorities into Slaves’ hit piece. It is becoming impossible to track the multiple directions vile personal attacks against the President have come from.
I find it stunning that after a full year plus of leftards pointing and screaming countless unfounded accusations at Trump, nary a single leftard seems to have ever even heard the ‘Cry Wolf’ parable. But then, I guess the long history of the IPCC failing to match any predictions long ago firmly established that leftist blind spot. The biggest question for me now is… Where do leftards have left to even go from here?
Other than the Clintons raping little children while wearing Trump masks, I’m not sure what evil the Dems have left to accuse Trump of that they haven’t already.
MAGA and fraud charges against the warmists!
Ah shucks , it’s just weather and abnormal cold has no bearing on the data that we are having the warmest years ever. Next statement – weather extremes are becoming more common with advancing climate change . Normal weather is just a slight pause in the pace of our rapid march to climate Armageddon . If you do not concour with any of these diametrically opposed statements you are a denier ( heretics? ) , obviously of low intelligence and ignorant of the “science ” . In Iqaluit it is -39.4 . Who could imagine it in northern Canada I January ?
Make Canada great “MCG”a new slogan. The current gov’t has torn it apart, and bankrupted it!
Sorry, I thought I had posted under y2koto .
Re: the 60-fold increase in Nat Gas prices as a result of the Arctic cyclone bomb … I thought there were LAWS preventing price gouging in the wake of natural disasters. Granted, cold weather … even really-really cold weather is not a “disaster” per se … but, the high prices could literally lead to the DEATHS of old pensioners on limited fixed incomes.
If Home Depot jacked-up the price of plywood by 60x (a $40.00 sheet of plywood selling for $2,400.00) ahead of a forecast hurricane … they would be eviscerated by the press and charged with price gouging by the government.
First it was dodo eggs, now chocolate. Why can’t we have nice things?
