Political powers in the United Nations and European Union have spent decades lecturing Africa on climate “virtue.” Net-zero pledges, renewable targets, ESG frameworks and more make up the ever-growing list of prescriptions for “healing the planet.” The post Africa’s Pipeline Rejects Climate Dogma and Foreign Control appeared first on Clintel.
South Africa’s once dominant ferrochrome industry is on the brink of collapse and requires a government bailout. That decline is not because the world no longer needs ferrochrome. It is because South Africa’s leaders tied their industrial policy to a “green” agenda that undermines reliable, affordable energy and sacrifices economic strength. The post Dismantlement of South Africa’s Ferrochrome Industry appeared first on Clintel.
“The LCOE narrative has just collided with reality. If ‘cheap’ solar and wind really were enough, the energy transition would largely run on autopilot. Emissions would fall. Subsidies wouldn’t be needed. Electricity would get cheaper. None of that is happening.” – Jonas Kristiansen Nøland, Norwegian University of Science and Technology The post “Should LCOE finally be retired from energy policy?” appeared first on Clintel.
Which civilization flourished during this warm medieval period, and what enabled it to rise and thrive—becoming even more successful than the Norse seafarers? In this article, Vijay Jayaraj examines the evidence and reveals the answers. The post Global Warming Sustained a Naval Power That Dwarfed Vikings appeared first on Clintel.
Even if the world could effectively capture and permanently remove 1 billion tonnes of CO2 annually, the impact on temperature would be barely measurable. And the economic and ecological costs are enormous. Lars Schernikau lists the sobering facts.

The European Commission has approved a new step towards its 2050 ‘net-zero’ objective, targeting a 90% reduction in net greenhouse gas emissions relative to 1990 levels by 2040. But a recent report by the French think tank IREF (Institut de Recherches Économiques et Fiscales) delivers a sobering reality check.

Instead of trying to determine the causes (Hunga Tonga!) of the extraordinary climate events of 2023, scientists have attempted to fit them into the dominant theory using models, writes Javier Vinos. In doing so, they demonstrate the failure of that theory. The post The 2023 climate event revealed the greatest failure of climate science appeared first on Clintel.
The energy yields of offshore wind turbines are overestimated by up to 50% in national policy documents. This conclusion is based on an analysis of operational data from 72 wind farms. The post Offshore wind turbines steal each other’s wind: yields greatly overestimated appeared first on Clintel.
