imagine being that fucking rich and that fucking careless.

Interviewer: "Some people would even say that if you just planted enough trees, it could take care of the climate issue altogether."

Bill Gates: "And that's complete nonsense." "I mean, are we the science people, or are we the idiots? Which one do we want to be?"

Even if you assume that CO2 is somehow a "pollutant" that needs to be sucked out of the air (it's not, and it doesn't), you'd think trees which suck CO2 out of the air for free would make the ideal candidate. But no, apparently we need to impoverish ourselves into squalor, building hideous expensive and totally unnecessary carbon capture technology attempting to solve a non-existent problem. 🤔

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University are developing ways to convert waste into fuels and other products, using processes that are energy efficient and powered by renewable sources. More specifically, they're close to resolving the challenge of converting carbon dioxide (CO2), a major greenhouse gas, into valuable chemicals using electricity. CO2 can be a useful raw material for making commodity chemicals and fuels. But the process of creating the necessary reaction isn't easy because it requires high pressures, high temperatures and special materials.

Due dei più grandi gestori patrimoniali del mondo stanno abbandonando un gruppo di investitori creato per stimolare le aziende a fronteggiare il riscaldamento globale e un terzo sta ridimensionando la propria partecipazione, in una grave battuta d’arresto per le ambizioni di Climate Action 100+.

JPMorgan Asset Management e State Street Global Advisors hanno entrambi confermato che lasceranno Climate Action 100+. BlackRock, il più grande gestore finanziario del mondo, si sta ritirando come membro aziendale e trasferendo la sua partecipazione al suo braccio internazionale più piccolo.

As we light the candles to celebrate the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, we hope to soon see a bright future after these dark days of war. Meanwhile, there are many more illuminating Israeli achievements, innovations and other activities to lighten our spirits at this traditionally cheerful time. The photo is of sufganiot (donuts / doughnuts) on sale in Netanya. Happy Hanukkah.

The levels of the three most important heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere reached new record highs again last year, US scientists have confirmed, underlining the escalating challenge posed by the climate crisis. The global concentration of carbon dioxide, the most important and prevalent of the greenhouse gases emitted by human activity, rose to an average of 419 parts per million in the atmosphere in 2023 while methane, a powerful if shorter-lasting greenhouse gas, rose to an average of 1922 parts per billion. Levels of nitrous oxide, the third most significant human-caused warming emission, climbed slightly to 336 parts per billion. The increases do not quite match the record jumps seen in recent years, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa), but still represent a major change in the composition of the atmosphere even from just a decade ago. Through the burning of fossil fuels, animal agriculture and deforestation, the world’s CO2 levels are now more than 50% higher than they were before the era of mass industrialization. Methane, which comes from sources including oil and gas drilling and livestock, has surged even more dramatically in recent years, Noaa said, and now has atmospheric concentrations 160% larger than in pre-industrial times. Noaa said the onward march of greenhouse gas levels was due to the continued use of fossil fuels, as well as the impact of wildfires, which spew carbon-laden smoke into the air. Nitrous oxide, meanwhile, has risen due to the widespread use of nitrogen fertilizer and the intensification of agriculture.

[USA, New York]

100's of bankers are now outside the Citi HQ, locked out of their workplace.

Climate Activists are standing arm-in-arm with our partners, blockading every single door.

Citibank are the top financier of oil and gas in the Amazon and the second largest funders of all fossil fuels.

These bankers are climate criminals. They deserve not a moment of peace.

Me: will it be Sean next week or will it be a monster wearing his face waiting to attack the party?!

Brennan: a secret worse thing :)

 DISCLAIMER: Please do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

Despite the hysterical assertions of climate grifters, CO2 is not a pollutant, but the gas of life.

In other words, fossil fuels are 100% organic & were produced by solar energy (positively green).

Look at the amount of CO2 emissions your idol produced before releasing the most ordinary, mid album with the most r-worded lyrics we've ever seen.

"Negli ultimi 35 anni, l’Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) delle Nazioni Unite ci ha avvertito che le emissioni derivanti dalla combustione di combustibili fossili, principalmente anidride carbonica (CO2), stanno causando un pericoloso riscaldamento globale. Questo mito è ciecamente accettato, anche da molti dei miei colleghi scienziati che non sanno praticamente nulla del clima. Come scienziato, il mio scopo qui è quello di aiutare a smascherare questa favola.

La storia del riscaldamento globale non è una fantasia benigna. Sta danneggiando seriamente le economie occidentali. Nel gennaio 2021, la Casa Bianca ha ridicolmente dichiarato che “il cambiamento climatico è la più grave minaccia esistenziale per l’umanità”. Da lì, l’America è passata dall’indipendenza energetica alla dipendenza energetica. Un’altra conseguenza è stata la comparsa di numerose aziende il cui obiettivo è quello di “sequestrare CO2” e “sequestrare carbonio” dalla nostra atmosfera. Tuttavia, questa cosiddetta “soluzione” è scientificamente impossibile. La vita sulla Terra si basa sul carbonio! La CO2 è cibo per le piante, non un inquinante!

Generazioni hanno subito il lavaggio del cervello per decenni per credere a questa immaginaria “crisi climatica”, dall’asilo all’università, e nei media mainstream e nei social media. I giovani insegnanti indottrinati si sentono a proprio agio nell’insegnare questa disinformazione agli studenti. Gli scienziati del clima disonesti si sentono giustificati a diffondere disinformazione perché hanno bisogno del sostegno del governo per gli stipendi e la ricerca..."
