The agency reportedly plans to propose a rule that will be public soon to rescind the 2009 Endangerment Finding, which stipulates that carbon dioxide […]

Claim: ‘Extreme Weather Is Driving Global Food-Price Spikes’, Report Says

https://www.wsj.com/articles/extreme-weather-is-driving-global-food-price-spikes-report-says-d0988a0c By Joseph Hoppe Extreme weather events are driving short-term surges in food prices around the world. Staple foods—including potatoes, rice, onions, lettuce and fruit—are being hit by price shocks, according to a study led by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain. The spikes are linked to heat, drought and heavy rainfall conditions, the report said. […]

The great ‘zero-carbon renewables’ deception

Wind and solar systems, the darlings of California’s energy policy, may not emit carbon dioxide while generating electricity. However, their production, transportation, installation, maintenance, and disposal are energy-intensive and emit copious amounts of carbon dioxide, as does virtually every other industrial enterprise.

Copper for wiring and electricity transmission lines is mined and smelted using fossil fuels. Transport and installation of these systems require diesel-powered trucks and other heavy machinery. Batteries used to back up intermittent wind and solar systems require lithium, cobalt, and nickel, all mined with the support of internal combustion engines and often by ethically questionable methods.

The steel of the modern wind turbine and of the massive pillars supporting them are forged in coal-based blast furnaces. The gigantic blades are made of fiberglass and resins with heat and feedstock derived from petroleum. Foundations for these behemoths require vast quantities of cement, whose manufacture releases significant quantities of CO2.

EPA drafts rule to strike down landmark climate finding – Proposes to overturn the 2009 ‘endangerment finding,’ which underpins limits on emissions for vehicles & power plants

“If the endangerment finding fell, it would call into question essentially all or almost all of EPA’s regulation of greenhouse gases,” Revesz said….

Thomas Pyle, president of the Institute for Energy Research, a conservative think tank, said he fully supports the administration’s efforts to review the endangerment finding, saying that Congress never mandated the EPA to take action on the issue and that the agency instead relied on a single ambiguous Supreme Court case.
