- Report: ‘Woke up sweating’: Texas power companies remotely raise temperatures on people using their smart thermostats
Smart thermostats can be remotely adjusted during periods of high energy demand. ... Power companies in Texas are remotely raising temperatures inside of some customers’ homes amid the state’s ongoing energy shortage. Houston resident Brandon English, whose home has an internet-connected smart thermostat installed, was shocked to learn of the practice after his wife and infant daughter “woke up sweating.”

- Meteorologist: What Happened in Texas During the Deep Freeze? Blaming ‘man-made climate change is absurd’
"Politics thoroughly corrupted climate science over 30 years ago, but it’s now beginning to corrupt energy policy and engineering, which is a far greater problem than the former. Billionaires own large media corporations, which means they control the flow of information. Whoever controls information controls society. Journalists will do anything to make a good headline that suits the agenda. They aren’t interested in truth, if they were, they’d allow opposing voices to be heard."
- Wind Power Is a Disaster in Texas, No Matter What Media Says – When freeze hit, ‘electricity from natural gas skyrocketed while wind output fell off a cliff’
Based on research from the Institute for Energy Research (see their articles here and here),
Robert P. Murphy: "Of the total amount of electricity delivered on this first day of blackouts, 65 percent came from natural gas, while only 6 percent came from wind and 2 percent from solar."
"A year earlier, during a normal mid-February day, natural gas “only” supplied 43 percent of the total electricity, whereas wind accounted for 28 percent and solar was the same at 2 percent." ...
"To sum up, compared with the same date a year earlier, during the first day of the blackouts in Texas, electricity from natural gas was 91 percent higher, while electricity from wind was 72 percent lower."

- More windmills: Climate activists push green energy after Texas frozen turbine debacle
Washington Times: “What happened in Texas is a preview of what the climate crisis will look like — coast to coast — if we fail to make transformational infrastructure investments now,” said Lori Lodes of Climate Power. “President Biden knows we have to build back better and work together towards a clean energy future.”
Not buying it was climate change skeptic Marc Morano, founder of the ClimateDepot.com. “The proponents of the Green New Deal are desperately trying to push the theme that the more green energy fails, the more green energy must be mandated,” Mr. Morano said. “But there is no scientific, economic, or energy reason to expand wind power even more in Texas.”
“The data, studies, and even the UN IPCC have proven that extreme weather is on no trend or declining trends on climate time scales,” said Mr. Morano, whose book “Green Fraud” will be released March 23. “There is no scientific way they can blame the bad weather in Texas on ‘climate change,’ so they instead choose political and pseudoscientific ways to link cold and snow and ice to ‘climate change.’”

Morano: "You have Schumer out there you have John Kerry out there, blaming this cold on global warming. And this is what they've done for decades now repeatedly. Any weather event proves their cause. And so record cold, record snows, record ice. It's all because we weren't prepared for global warming. There's no weather event that can falsify their theory. And that's what makes us so maddening. In my book, Green Fraud, I have a whole chapter about how the solution to the global cooling coming Ice Age scare in the 1970s literally mirrored, the solutions of the Green New Deal today.
The environmentalist in the 1970s who were pushing the global Ice Age scare were literally proposing green New Deal-style restrictions on America and central planning. It is the most amazing thing. They don't miss a beat, no matter what weather event happens, their answer is central planning, coercive government policies and shutting down free-market capitalism."

We’re Saved! Professor from University of Maine finds ‘the root causes of climate change are capitalism, white supremacy, & colonialism’
Dr. Jacquelyn Gill: "The root causes of climate change are capitalism, white supremacy, and colonialism, all of which put profits over people and treat people and the environment as disposable commodities. Blaming folks like service workers, retail workers, and others is not a good look."Jacquelyn Gill is an Associate Professor of Paleoecology & Plant Ecology, School of Biology and Ecology and Climate Change Institute at the University of Maine.#

Top Climate Scientists Slam Global Warming ‘So-Called Evidence’ as ‘Misrepresentation, Exaggeration & Outright Lying’
Dr. Happer and Dr. Lindzen summarize: “Misrepresentation, exaggeration, cherry picking or outright lying pretty much covers all the so-called evidence marshalled in support of the theory of imminent catastrophic global warming caused by fossil fuels and CO2.”

Biden: ‘The weather may be beyond our control — for now’ – Biden joins Bill Gates & China in seeking to control the weather
President Joe Biden in Kentucky talking about floods: "It’s not like it’s beyond our control. The weather may be beyond our control for now, but it’s not beyond our control."
Biden, Bill Gates & China now seeking to control the weather! Don't like the weather & climate?! Pass a law or push a pork barrel spending bill to alter the weather! SCIENCE!
