Demonized as contributing to climate change, cattle may actually decrease emissions, research shows

https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/environment/demonized-contributing-climate-change-cattle-may-decrease-emissions The researchers found that 19%-30% of methane emissions were from the cattle, but the rest was from the wetland soils. If the cows are removed, their research shows, it actually increases the amount of methane the wetland ecosystems give off. By Kevin Killough Few things have escaped environmentalists’ scorn, and even cows have not […]

Climate Panic May Finally Be Post-Peak: ‘Support for climate action….has softened due to a drop in the sense of urgency on this issue, particularly among younger adults’

The new Monmouth University poll, which has been surveying Americans for a decade on climate. While over 70 percent of Americans say they accept the existence of climate change, the number who see this as a very serious problem has fallen to 46 percent of respondents. That’s down from 56 percent in 2021. The drop in the perceived importance and urgency of climate change has been most pronounced among younger adults.

Among young people between the ages of 18 and those who see climate change as a very serious problem has fallen to 50 percent, down from 67 percent in 2021.

Climate concerns are also heavily bunched in certain demographic categories. While 77% of all Democrats believe climate change is very serious, only 43% of independents and 13% of Republicans do.

Berkeley California abruptly reverses landmark decision to ban gas hookups: ‘We have ceased enforcement’

Media finally gets it! ‘Duke Energy is transitioning away from coal. It means power bills are becoming more expensive’

Marc Morano comment: Duke Energy spokesman calls gutting reliable coal power — “improvements” to the grid. Yet they are virtually signaling to political mandates for Net Zero. As utilities close down reliable fossil fuel energy generation, they claim unspecified “benefits” to the “transitions.” In the video, Tesla home generator batteries are touted for the inevitable blackouts coming. Ideologies, politicians, activists, and colluding corporations and utilities are monkeying around with our once reliable grid due to climate politics. Then they offer some customer ‘rebates,’ ‘incentives’, & ‘subsidiy’ programs that are supposed to alleviate the constantly rising energy prices. This is an insane process that needs to stop, and Duke Energy spokesmen need a remedial education on how to speak to the public and stop lying about green energy ‘improvements’ to the grid. At the same time, they collude and do their part to sabotage the grid.

They came for your gas car, your recycled human hair & now — your lunch?! Study: Cooking a grilled cheese sandwich on a gas stove is MORE toxic than breathing in car exhaust fumes

UK Daily Mail:

The natural gas stove in your home could be emitting more harmful nanoparticles than a gasoline-powered car’s tailpipe, according to new research. Clouds of these tiny particles, also known as soot, are between one and three nanometers each. … 

Researchers found cooking a simple grilled cheese sandwich may expose residents to as many as 10 million nanocluster aerosols per cubic nanometer, compared to the up to around 1 million released by cars near a busy street. The study was published Tuesday in the journal PNAS Nexus.  … 

The news comes about one year after some officials at the US Consumer Product Safety Commission considered banning gas stoves –  a move that never materialized but became a political lightning rod. … The nanocluster aerosol coming from the gas stove was also found to easily mix with larger particles entering the air from butter, oil or whatever else is cooking on the gas stove. … Moving forward, we need to think about how to reduce our exposure to all types of indoor air pollutants,’ he continued. ‘Based on our new data, we’d advise that nanocluster aerosol be considered as a distinct air pollutant category.’ 

Politico: ‘Democrats pushed climate action. Then utility bills skyrocketed’ – ‘Electricity bills are biting lawmakers in coastal, Democratic-leaning districts’

Politico: California Democrats proudly authored nation-leading clean energy goals that forced the automobile industry to go electric and shaped global climate policy. Then the bill came due. There is intensifying political pressure on state lawmakers to do something about utility bills that have shot up by as much as 127 percent over the last decade. … “Californians are fed up,” said Democratic state Assemblymember Marc Berman at a recent news conference in Sacramento. .. Lawmakers there and in other Democratic states with nation-leading climate objectives — like New York and Massachusetts — are scrambling to make their transitions from fossil fuels affordable before they face an all-out ratepayer revolt. …

“Absolutely high rates can threaten the energy transition, and we should be very concerned,” said Matt Baker, director of the California Public Utilities Commission’s Public Advocates Office. “The energy transition depends on public support, and we have to do whatever we can to maintain that public support. That means doing it in the least-cost manner.” Baker said the state hasn’t seen rate hikes like these since the 1970s. …

California’s largest utility, Pacific Gas and Electric, raised its rates over the winter by an average of about $34 per month, or a 127 percent increase over 10 years. A fifth of its customers are behind on their bills, according to an analysis from Baker’s office. The state’s two other major investor-owned utilities are also seeking increases.

Report: Democrats Are Giving Away $1 Trillion In Taxpayer Funds For ‘Green’ Subsidies – Due to ‘Green pork provisions included in Inflation (Reduction) Act’

https://thefederalist.com/2024/02/08/report-democrats-are-giving-away-1-trillion-in-taxpayer-funds-for-green-subsidies/ BY: CHRISTOPHER JACOBS During his time in the Obama administration, then-Vice President Biden once infamously proclaimed that we had to “spend money to keep from going bankrupt.” When he became president, he kept his word — at least when it comes to spending.
