8 out of 10 based on 17 ratings By Jo Nova What if the news media formed a global monopoly to control the news? Imagine if the media and tech giants of the world banded together behind-the-scenes to rule certain stories were “misinformation” and all their agencies thus reported the same “news”? That’s what the Trusted News Initiative aimed to do — decide what ideas were and were not allowed to be discussed. It’s like “free speech” but without the free part. Not only could the media bury things but they could get away with it if no upstart competitor could red-pill their audience. It would be the death of the Free Press In a world like that the people would be ruled mostly by whomever it was that decided what was “misinformation”. Those controllers would be the defacto Ministry of Truth. We all saw it happen over the last three years, so it’s good to put a name on the beast, but even better, Robert F Kennedy is suing them for anti-trust violation. Trusted News Initiative, TNI, The Trusted News Initiative is everything journalists should hate. It’s basically there to “protect” voters from hearing about things like the Hunter-Biden Laptop, good climate news and […] February 5th, 2023 | Tags: Big-Brother, Corruption (Media), Free Speech | Category: Australia, Europe, FakeNews, Free Speech, Media-matters, Social Media, UK, USA |  Print This Post | | 7.5 out of 10 based on 13 ratings By Jo Nova Two days in a row, this blog has been quoted in the Daily Telegraph. Congratulations to Clarissa Bye for shining a torch on the BoM Craig Kelly found the wandering solar panel leaning on a bush near Sydney’s official thermometer, and I wrote about what a strange spot that was to leave a solar panel. Then Clarissa Bye of the Daily Telegraph picked up the story and on Jan 25th asked the BoM why the panel was there. After a whole week of missed deadlines, with pleas for extra time, The Daily Telegraph gave up waiting and published the story Wednesday: Questions raised over mystery solar panel at Sydney Observatory Science blogger Jo Nova has also queried the solar panel’s location, describing the BOM as “lackadaisical” at best in maintaining weather sites. “The solar panel is exactly due south of the Stevenson screen where the thermometer is kept,” she said. “If, hypothetically, someone wanted to leave a reflective object pointed at the box at midday, that’d be the place to do it.” ““There’s only been one day above 30 degrees since February 21st last year in Sydney, and that was a day […] 8.9 out of 10 based on 8 ratings By Jo Nova The environmental fashion parade suddenly has a smell… This is a notable shift: Twenty years ago BP called itself “Beyond Petroleum”, and only one year ago the CEO said BP was “accelerating” its green investments. But now the CEO is reassuring investors that BP is not going to be distracted by environmental goals, and are focused on maximizing profits. Furthermore those profits would be found where it has a competitive advantage, including it’s “legacy oil and gas operations”. Just like that: it’s OK to talk about profits and energy security. Key words here are “dialing back”, “disappointed”, “narrower” and “less emphasis” and they are all used in relation to environmental investments. After years of sunshine and unicorns on the forced transition to unreliable energy, the mood appears to be changing. h/t Paul Homewood at Notalotofpeopleknowthat BP’s CEO Plays Down Renewables Push as Returns Lag Bernard Looney seeks to sharpen strategic focus, with less emphasis on environmental goals Jenny Strasberg, Wall Street Journal Chief Executive Bernard Looney plans to dial back elements of the oil giant’s high-profile push into renewable energy, according to people familiar with recent discussions.

Works better than a windmill… Photo by Maria Orlova The trillion dollar global warming camp obsesses over 1.5°C of heat, but the urban heat island has already made our cities 1.5°C hotter than the countryside around them, and nobody gives a toss. Cities are where the lived human experience is for most of us, and despite the threat of that extreme heat made “worse by climate change”, no government does the obvious and sets a tree cover target. There are no Ministers of Regreening, and no carbon credits for suburbia. All we’re getting is concrete bollards and fifteen-minute-cities of pain. In the green revolution instead of growing gum trees, people are cutting them down because they shade their solar panels. In our capital city they razed a majestic avenue of trees in order to add light rail. A true Green hates cars more than they like trees. Urban flora not only cleans the air, it also reduces suicides, improves cardiac health, and reduces particulate pollution. One Canadian study estimated that […] February 2nd, 2023 | Tags: Heatwaves, Hypocrites, Temperature (Effect on Mortality), UHI | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | 9.8 out of 10 based on 8 ratings By Jo Nova The science is settled except we only just realized that the benzene and toluene gas over the vast Southern Ocean were not man-made pollutants after all, but were made by industrious phytoplankton. For the first time someone went and measured the benzene and toluene in the water and discovered that instead of being a sink for human pollutants in the air above, the ocean was the source. This matters because these two gases increased the amount of organic aerosols by, wait for it, between 8% and up to 80% in bursts. And all that extra aerosol matters, of course, because aerosols seed clouds, which change the weather. And the expert climate models, upon which a $1.5 Trillion dollar industry depends on for its’ very existence, did not know this. If hypothetically there has been less phytoplankton in the worlds oceans in the last few decades, there may also have been less cloud cover, and thus more warming. But who knows? The modelers are always saying climate change can’t be natural because they can’t think of anything else that could have could have caused the warming, then people keep finding another factor they forgot to put in the […] February 1st, 2023 | Tags: Climate Models, Clouds, Phytoplankton, Southern Hemisphere | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | |
