How long have we been hearing this kind of talk from alarmists? How often are we told that we have to make lots of sacrifices and give governments unlimited power – otherwise the earth will be destroyed? The answer is: almost everyday. High energy taxes, loss of freedom, massive regulation, constant monitoring, surveillance over how […]

In my recent post here I wrote about a ZDF story on an Expert Assessment Report, led by Prof. Dr. Kai Konrad of the Max Planck Institute and a team of finance researchers, on Europe’s and Germany’s climate policy. The report is titled: Climate Policy Between Emissions Prevention and Adaptation Expert Assessment By The Scientific Advisory Board Of The […]

Hans von Storch’s blog brings our attention to an excellent German report by normally green ZDF public television. The report takes a critical view of Europe’s energy policy and reaches the conclusion that it’s a failure. My last post Billions Of Euros For Nothing Called A Success Story illustrates this beautifully. The ZDF interviews a leading finance researcher, Professor Dr […]

Like in many countries in Europe, politcal parties in Germany, whether right or left, are big boosters of re-engineering society in order to save it from the fantasized self-inflicted climate catastrophe. People who speak up face risk feeling the wrath of the many climate-doctrine-following drones and zombies. And as the level of absurdity reaches intolerable […]

The German Readers Edition reports that 3 leading scientists, among them alarmist Stefan Rahmstorf, are calling on Rajendra Pachauri to step down as Chairman of the IPCC because of management errors and the recent attacks on the IPCC and climate science.According to Stefan Rahmstorf’s blog Klimalounge: I’m not calling for an end of Pachauri, but I could certainly imagine […]

I must admit I’m in a bit of shock reading this stuff, especially full police report about Al Gore’s alleged behaviour. I’m not going to draw any conclusion right now. It’s all too stunning, if it’s true. The other climate blogs have not written a word about it so far. Maybe they want to be extra careful, […]

The June SEARCH report of September sea ice outlook here shows the predictions of 16 research institutes for 2010: According to the report: A quick calculation (leaving out the outliers of 3.2 million in 2009 and 1.0 million in 2010) shows an average prediction of 4.72 in June 2009, and 5.05 million this year.

We recall last year how projections of new lows in Arctic sea ice extents were boldly made, and eagerly publicised by the catastrophe-obsessed media. It made for good headlines, but they were all wrong. See here June Outlook Report. This year Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute AWI here and the KlimaCampus of the University of Hamburg are taking another shot at […]

Other blogs have mentioned today a report from the German financial daily, Handelsblatt here, but didn’t provide many details, and so I’ve decided to shine a little more light on the article. It is indeed frightening. The German government has been generously subsidising renewable energy sources for years now, and it’s going to cost the German consumer a […]
