The purpose
of this climate
science and
energy blog
is to promote
facts about
our planet's
climate and
energy use.

-- I avoid the many

climate fantasies:

the wild guesses

of the future

climate.

You can get that

"climate astrology"

from the mainstream

media.

 

 

“Future

generations

will wonder

in bemused

amazement

that the early

21st century’s

developed world

went into an

hysterical panic ...

on the basis of

gross exaggerations

of highly uncertain

computer projections

... and proceeded

to contemplate

a roll-back of

the industrial age.”

Richard Lindzen Ph.D.

- MIT professor of

atmospheric science

-- Government
bureaucrats have
consistently predicted
more than double
the global warming
(+0.40 degrees C. per decade)
that actually happened,
(+0.17 degrees C. per decade)
based on the average
computer climate model
( for the 40-year period
of satellite observations,
from 1979 to 2019 ).

-- Actual warming
since the 1970s
has been mainly
in colder areas,
mainly during
the colder months
of the year, and
mainly at night.

Think of warmer

winter nights

in Siberia!

-- Reliable 

sources of 

electric power
should NOT
be replaced,
at great expense,
with solar and wind,
which are

two unreliable

and intermittent

sources of

electric power.

Switching to
solar panels and
bird shredders,
would require
the greatest
expansion of mining
and manufacturing
in human history. 

Inspiration for me

writing three blogs

came mainly from

Benjamin Franklin:

"If you would

not be forgotten,

as soon as

you are dead,

       either

write something

worth reading,

or do something

worth writing (about) "
