Instead of vainly hassling energy companies, UK Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Miliband should concentrate on reducing the Government’s contribution to high energy prices. 14% of the average domestic electricity bill is the result of ineffective Government climate change policies that provide massive subsidies to the owners of wind farms but do little to [...]
Benny Peiser has been interviewed about climate politics and climate policy by Local Transport Today. Excerpts: LTT first interviewed Peiser two years ago (LTT 30 Nov 06), just after publication of Sir Nicholas Stern’s report on the economics of climate change and at a time when the topic was rocketing up the agenda in transport.

Climate Science is often like a virtual reality computer game, where the players eagerly await the next release. A new climate model paper has been published in the journal Nature, innocently entitled: ‘Transient nature of late Pleistocene climate variability,’ by Thomas J. Crowley & William T. Hyde. In common with all computer models in the [...]
A new paper has been published by Jason Rohr et al entitled, ‘Evaluating the links between climate, disease spread, and amphibian decline,’ November 11, 2008 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The Abstract states: Human alteration of the environment has arguably propelled the Earth into its sixth mass extinction event and [...]
According to Roger Pielke Jr on his Prometheus blog, World Energy Outlook 2008 has been released by the IEA. Cutting to the chase, can atmospheric CO2 be stabilised at 450 ppmv using existing technology? The IEA says NO: “The scale of the challenge in the 450 Policy Scenario is immense: the 2030 emissions level for [...]
Some energy experts asked by BBC News warn the UK could face an unacceptable risk of major blackouts in less than 10 years unless policy is improved. They said the government has dithered for too long over policies vital to energy security and climate security. But they added that forecasts of an imminent power crisis [...]
The two papers we had submitted to Geophysical Research Letters have both been rejected, with instructions to not resubmit either one. The first paper showed how none of 18 IPCC climate models, in over 1,000 years of global warming simulations, ever exhibits the negative feedback we have measured from global satellite data. The second paper [...]
Well spotted by Roger Pielke Jr on his Prometheus blog – a press release about new open access paper by highly politicised NASA climate alarmist James Hansen (et al) claims that removing 50ppmv CO2 from the atmosphere by air capture would be too costly at $20 trillion: “[Hansen et al.] also dismiss the notion of [...]
