By Jo Nova It’s not now and has never been, about your health Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London is forcing workers to shell out thousands of pounds to buy new cars or fill his tax coffers with the £12.50 daily fee for driving slightly older models. Some will have to give up their cars altogether — and for many it means a profound change of lifestyle. Yet what’s it all for? The Mayor’s own team shows it will achieve almost nothing, yet he’s doing it anyway. It’s not now, and has never been about “the science”. The results of research are entirely optional apparently: SADIQ Khan’s hated ULEZ expansion will add just 13 minutes to the average life expectancy, it emerged today. Noa Hoffman, The Sun Research by the Mayor’s own team in collaboration with Transport for London has found the scheme’s impact will be “minor” and “negligible”. It’s predicted to only cause a 1.3% reduction in the average Londoner’s exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2). And it would add just 13 minutes to the life expectancy of a Londoner in 2023, according to the Channel Four News Fact Check service.

Using the same ClimateChangeTM reasoning the UN Secretary General uses, it’s clear fossil fuel use dramatically reduces the number of dangerous cyclones in the Northern Indian Ocean. A new study revealed an astonishing 43% decline in the number of equatorial cyclones in recent decades (1981–2010) compared to earlier (1951–1980) when fossil fuel use was vastly reduced. The researchers also point out that this is especially interesting because “the Indian Ocean basin has warmed consistently and more than any other ocean basin.” Could it be that warmer oceans are not necessarily terrible? The study looked at the Low-Latitude Cyclones (LLC) that originate near the equator in the North Western Indian ocean. These LLC’s are smaller but intensify more rapidly than other cyclones, giving people less time to prepare. In 2017 LLC Ockhi caught forecasters off guard, travelled 2,000 kilometers and caused the deaths of 884 people in Sri Lanka and India. This is obviously a benefit for the billion poor people who live around the Bay of Bengal. The researchers however, for some reason do not call for an increase in fossil fuel emissions. Instead they looked for and found […] September 8th, 2023 | Tags: Climate Models, Cyclones, India, Indian Ocean, Storms | Category: Global Warming, Oceans | Print This Post | | 8.4 out of 10 based on 13 ratings 8 out of 10 based on 25 ratings Image by Tracy Lundgren from Pixabay By Jo Nova The UK government is absolutely not asking you to ration electricity, to give up control of your own appliances, to pay more for less, and go to jail if you get it wrong. This just looks a lot like that: Turn on your heat pump when wind is blowing, Government pleads Nick Gutteridge, The Telegraph Ministers are pressing ahead with new legislation that could see families made to adopt “smart” appliances to ease pressure on the grid. Tory MPs are opposing the proposals, contained in the contentious Energy Bill which will come back before the Commons on Tuesday. Are they your appliances or the state’s? If you don’t control the power switch you know the answer. When they call something “smart” we know it’s stupid — and the mind-boggling complexity of central agencies switching on and off ovens and heaters across the country to “fit” with the weather is a dystopia we don’t need to have. Do you need 90 minutes to roast a chook, or 120? It depends on the wind strength in Scotland. If the kids can’t get to bed early, or […] September 6th, 2023 | Tags: Coercion, Energy Crisis, UK | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | 10 out of 10 based on 8 ratings 8.6 out of 10 based on 14 ratings Andrew Forrest speaks of the deaths of millions coming soon… By Jo Nova The cult doomer prophesy upgrades to Billionaire Class. Put this man out of his misery. Andrew Forrest, Executive Chairman of a $60 billion company made a bizarre speech a few days ago. This is a business presentation with the words like “vomit”, “stampede” and “seizures”, and pictures of skeletons in the desert. The big secret threat, he said, that scientists are not saying “is lethal humidity”. He really believes it. Here’s a man in command of the tenth largest company in Australia with a $33 billion dollar bank account, but not the judgment to get an advisor who can explain the difference between specific and relative humidity. He doesn’t realize that trends are rising in one, but falling in the other, and the modelers were wrong (again). He just had to pick up the phone and call the Met Office, or the CSIRO. They would have loved to talk to him. Even the IPCC experts could have saved him from this embarrassment. “Lethal Humidity will be the next global pandemic” he prophecies. “It is business that will kill your children,” he says blaming […] September 5th, 2023 | Tags: Climate Models, Forrest (Andrew, Humidity, Twiggy), Wind speed | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | 8.5 out of 10 based on 32 ratings 9.2 out of 10 based on 20 ratings
By Jo Nova We’re on the precipice of a radical experiment with a national electricity grid The AEMO (manager of the Australian grid) has finally released the major report on problems coming in the next ten years on our national grid, and it’s worse than they thought even six months ago. They euphemistically refer to the coming “reliability gaps”. They could have said “blackouts” instead, but a gap in reliability sounds so much nicer. Bizarrely, the lead graph of the 175 page AEMO report goes right off the scale, mysteriously peaking in the unknown and invisible real estate off the top of the chart. And they’re not projecting troubles fifty years from now. Those cropped peaks of invisible pain hit from 2027. And even the pain we can see is apparently quite bad. Two states are already likely to breach “the interim reliability measure” in this coming summer. Ominously, just one day after releasing the report, the AEMO is calling for tenders for “reliability reserves” in South Australia and Victoria. Apparently, they want offers of industries ready to shut down who aren’t already on the list, and they want spare generation too — get this — even asking […] September 2nd, 2023 | Tags: AEMO, Electricity Grids, Renewable Energy, SA (South Australia) | Category: Australia, Electricity, Global Warming, Grids, Renewable | Print This Post | | 9.7 out of 10 based on 14 ratings 9 out of 10 based on 21 ratings 10 out of 10 based on 4 ratings |
