"Carbon (Dioxide) trading is now the fastest growing commodities market on earth.....And here’s the great thing about it. Unlike traditional commodities markets, which will eventually involve delivery to someone in physical form, the carbon (dioxide) market is based on lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no-one. Since the market revolves around creating carbon (dioxide) credits, or finding carbon (dioxide) reduction projects whose benefits can then be sold to those with a surplus of emissions, it is entirely intangible."

This blog has been tracking the 'Global Warming Scam' for over ten years now. There are a very large number of articles being published in blogs and more in the MSM who are waking up to the fact the public refuse to be conned any more and are objecting to the 'green madness' of governments and the artificially high price of energy. This blog will now be concentrating on the major stories as we move to the pragmatic view of 'not if, but when' and how the situation is managed back to reality. To quote Professor Lindzen, "a lot of people are going to look pretty silly"

Global warming ‘craziness’ is a ‘huge problem’: Bolt

 SkyNewsAustralia

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the craziness about global warming, based on dodgy modelling and wild predictions is a huge cultural and economic problem. “it’s this craziness about global warming, it’s like the craziness really about this virus as well,” Mr Bolt said. “The way you’ve got a scare that’s based on dodgy modelling, wild predictions of catastrophes that don’t actually come and a one-sided media fear campaign where the truth doesn’t seem to matter. “We have got a huge problem; a cultural problem and an economic one.” (Video)

Did Global Warming Play A Significant Role In The Recent US Northwest Wildfires?

 ZeroHedge

A number of groups and individuals are claiming that the recent major wildfires in the Pacific Northwest are predominantly or significantly the result of climate change produced by increasing greenhouse gases. In fact, many have called these conflagrations "climate fires." Did global warming (a.k.a. climate change) have a significant impact on the Northwest wildfires of the past few weeks? ......

The bottom line:  this summer was not one of significant drought or very unusual.  Until the September 7-8 fire initiation by the strong winds, the area encompassing fire was below normal in both Oregon and Washington.

Thus, considering observations and modeling, both strongly supporting each other, the major fire/smoke outbreak this month was the result of very, very unusually strong easterly winds, NOT global warming or climate change.

Those pushing the climate change narrative, including some politicians, activist groups and media are simply misinforming the public.

'Rogue' Chinese Virologist Joins Twitter, Publishes "Smoking Gun" Evidence COVID-19 Created In Lab

 ZeroHedge

On Saturday we reported that Dr. Li-Meng Yan - a Chinese virologist (MD, PhD) who fled the country, leaving her job at a prestigious Hong Kong university - appeared last week on British television where she claimed SARS-CoV-2, the virus which causes COVID-19, was created by Chinese scientists in a lab.

On Sunday, Li-Meng joined Twitter - and on Monday, just hours ago, she tweeted a link to a paper she co-authored with three other Chinese scientists titled:

Unusual Features of the SARS-CoV-2 Genome Suggesting Sophisticated Laboratory Modification Rather Than Natural Evolution and Delineation of Its Probable Synthetic Route

Socialists are using 'hysteria over COVID as a weapon of economic destruction'

 

 SkyNewsAustralia

Sky News contributor Cory Bernardi says the panic surrounding the health pandemic is being used as a weapon by socialists wanting to bring about economic destruction to usher in the introduction of the Green New Deal. “There is something unusual about the continuing pandemic panic,” Mr Bernardi said. “Medical experts now acknowledge that lockdowns don't work, they say that treatment with Hydroxychloroquine and zinc does work and that government responses globally have led to a massive destruction of wealth, wellbeing and work. “Now none of that makes any sense until you open your mind to consider if there is another agenda at work.” Mr Bernardi said behind the COVID-19 pandemic hysteria was an agenda to bring about social and economic change. Klaus Schwab, founder and Chairman of the World Economic Forum, said “COVID 19 cases have shown us that our old systems are not fit anymore for the 21st century, it has laid bare a fundamental lack of social cohesion, fairness, inclusion and equality. “Now is the historical moment of time not only to fight the … virus but to shape the system ... for the post-corona era,” Mr Schwab said. "(Mr Schwab) admits that COVID is the new excuse to usher in the Green New Deal that climate alarmists, profiteers and big government have been pushing for years," Mr Bernardi said. “Think about it, the global response to COVID has been a green socialist's dream." Mr Bernardi said the pandemic brought about a reduction in the use of fossil fuel, caused next to no international travel, ensured welfare for all, saw civil liberties curtailed and has seen the government run by bureaucrats. “Why do you think the Australian Greens have been so quiet these past months ... it’s because their policy agenda is coming to life,” he said. “After decades of peddling climate change lies and propaganda to force government by the elites, the socialists have used a media induced hysteria over public health as their latest weapon of economic destruction.”

A Century of Fire Suppression Is Why California Is in Flames

 

 Mother Jones

The devastating fires that hit Bouverie and a large swath of Northern California’s wine country in October killed 42 people and destroyed nearly 7,000 buildings. In California’s Sierra Nevada in recent years, megafires have burned at much greater severity than those forests ever saw in the past, killing trees across large landscapes and unleashing enormous quantities of carbon. The remedy, Berleman and many other scientists say, is to reintroduce fire to the landscape by allowing more natural fires to burn and setting controlled burns when weather conditions minimize the risk of a catastrophic blaze.

“We have 100 years of fire suppression that has led to this huge accumulation of fuel loads, just dead and downed debris from trees and plant material in our forests, and in our woodlands,” says Berleman. “As a result of that, our forests and woodlands are not healthy, and we’re getting more catastrophic fire behavior than we would otherwise.”

The 'green dream' of renewable energy is a 'mirage'

 SkyNewsAustralia

Sky news contributor Cory Bernardi says the green dream of a future of renewable energy is a mirage. His comments come after residents of California have been told by the lord mayor to turn off as many electric appliances as they can to ensure the power continues to work in the heat of summer. California has departed from traditional forms of energy such as gas and nuclear in favour of renewable energy. “Remember we were told, over and over again, that California was the model economy, it was going to be fantastic for the green dream?” Mr Bernardi told Sky News host Paul Murray. “What we’ve realised is that the green dream is a mirage. “That when hot days come and people want to use their electricity, it might not be there for them.”  Video HERE
