I am analyzing the supposed Inflation Reduction Act. (Only Dems could think raising taxes reduces inflation, given taxes are another cost.) They are trying to warp renewables and EV tax credits so they increase wages, as well as domestic mining and manufacturing. None of this is likely to happen much so they may actually be harmful, especially to renewables. Fine by me. Articles on this in progress.

David,
If you find anything positive in this irrational legislation, please let us know.
280
For those with specific questions here is the Act:
https://www.congress.gov/117/bills/hr5376/BILLS-117hr5376enr.pdf
The energy stuff I am looking at is very complex so studying on 5 page program takes days. I doubt anyone but the Senate Staffers and lobbyists that wrote this understand what in some cases amounts to algebra. The title of my first article is Renewables Credit Chaos Coming.
331
The complexity is just camo to obscure the grift.
You’ll hurt yourself if you look for anything other than grift.
Good luck.
300
Honk, the big cases I am looking at are complex because they are trying to do complex things that may not be doable (and I welcome their failure). Examples so far include using renewables tax credits to mandate union wages, using EV tax credits to grow domestic mining and manufacturing, and actually measuring the energy usage changes before paying rebates for EE projects in the home.
The 300+ Billion dollar figure is pure junk, a wild green guess. Almost all of it is for stuff that likely will not happen. I am documenting this fiasco.

Warning for anyone opening the document.
You may actually be dumber after reading something that stupid.

The very name “Inflation Reduction Act” is so Orwellian, as it means the opposite of its name.
It is an example of doublethink.
Just like:

-Freedom is Slavery

Mr. Wojick: Here in the US Midwest, our local news touted the part of the bill that “cut emissions” by increasing corn subsidies for ethanol. I thought, well, so long as CliScis in the brandon admin. come up with new, creative solutions…..
210
I grew corn a half lifetime ago and it is expensive in terms of machinery, herbicide, fertilizer and diesel as well as labour. That is just to grow it let alone harvest, store, transport and eventually process. At each stage there are emissions of CO2 so explain pray tell how this saves emissions. Add to that morass the fact that when corn or wheat is diverted to Ethanol production it is taken away from human consumption which increases food prices. The enviros then attack the manufacture of urea, a basic nitrogenous fertilizer which is also under the pump in Canada and Holland. To sum up: we are going to ban nitrogen fertilizer and many herbicides that are needed to grow corn but the corn that you do grow will be used to power your tractor to grow more corn.
The bastards are indeed mad and demonstrate, if it were necessary, that the woke idiots have no idea of agriculture yet deem to make laws about it. Farmers need a VOICE to Parliament in every country. The best part is that farmers are largely self sufficient and in concert with their neighbours and a few truck drivers would be able to survive quite well while the city wokesters slowly starve. The real wealth of a country is in the country. It may be the culture shock that the high and mighty so richly deserve.
581
It’s all about getting zero emissions locked into law without any concrete commitment to getting there with the prosperity that was promised.

History will not be kind to to this administration.
Scrub that. Universities are full of leftard.
It will go down in history as genius.

The title is to deceive the public. It’s much of the NGD just renamed.
BTW, Does it still include, what Ted Cruz blew the whistle on, a provision to allow the EPA ignore the recent SCOTUS ruling?

Meant as a reply to David Wojick’s post about the so called Inflation Reduction Act.

An interesting double story here
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11129585/House-Dragon-Sky-Atlantic-Cornish-locals-fear-influx-fans-new-Game-Thrones-prequel.html
The new game of Thrones prequel has considerable parts set in Cornwall. That usually means a deluge of tourists not interested in the local area but just in tracking their heroes and often re-enacting their actions.
This causes huge waves of tourists who overwhelm the local structure and ultimately push up prices of parking, House rentals and general property. Many of the visitors, we get them in Devon as well, have a huge sense of entitlement. We call them grockles the Cornish Emmets (gaelic for ‘ants’.)
There are exceptions many people turn up at Port Issac where Doc Martin was filmed. Generally they appreciate the scenery and locations in a quiet manner. I met a pair of Aussies from Melbourne just last week who were on their way to that village and were staying in one of the houses used. They were double pleased as the weather was very hot here so they could boast about the weather when phoning home where I believe its been a poor winter
Presumably Oz has its tourist hot spots to the annoyance of locals.
130
WE Calls them Haemorrhoids where I come from because they come out in clusters, hang around, turn red in the sun, and are generally a pain in the ass
190
My parents lived in Cairns and Innisfail in North Queensland, which is a very popular region for Southern tourists escaping winter and over the years waves of Asian tourism. Mum used to call them Terrorist rather than tourists (back when that word held less meaning) She was convinced that 90% f car accidents were caused “by those bloody terrorists gawking and nt watching where they are going”
My own region has become a weekend getaway area for Melbourne people. Good for businesses but comes at a community cost of price increases, rubbish, noise and more entitled Richardheads per square kilometre. Given how amazing city life is and how they look down at regional living it makes you wonder what they are all getting away from.

Many places in Australia thrive on tourism. The whole State of Tasmania is primarily a tourist destination. The scenery changes quite dramatically over relatively short distances by Australian standards. The vast majority of locals are aware of the money tourism brings in and are quite welcoming. That welcoming demeanour for visitors has become common across Australia.
Many places have established a reputation for particular events. Birdsville has a population of about 100 people. Over the Races weekend they will have close to 10,000 visitors.
Denilquin has a population of about 8,000 people. On the week of the ute muster the number of utes attending exceeds 10,000 and visitors exceed locals by 2X.
There are lots of similar festivals. Tamworth has of the big ones with its country music festival. Bathurst for its car race. Toowoomba for its flowers. Most places in Australia have something to attract tourists. It is big business.
80
Further to my post at 5, coincidentally I then saw this
https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/newsbirmingham/popular-uk-beach-could-introduce-tourist-tax-for-visitors/ar-AA10RXTK?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=cb55cec0e0944b61a3f50214c0593a77
Visitors can be a real pain in the backside when they don’t treat the place with respect and we got a lot of tourists who presumably went to the drinking spots of Spain who though that post Covid they could behave as they liked. (litter, noise, bad parking, bad behaviour) A couple of UK destinations operate a tourist tax on accommodation I believe. Not heard of it for day visitors before but I have some sympathy for those proposing this as generally tourism equals low wages and limited career opportunities and high house rental prices
I think NZ has just said they want to concentrate on ‘high end’ tourists
100
Every time I get mad at a tourist, I think of the various taxes and fees they pay, and the fact my state has no income tax.
So I’ve learned to think of them as sheep, come to be fleeced; their baaahing to be endured for the profit they provide.
80
“I think NZ has just said they want to concentrate on ‘high end’ tourists”
Sounds good, a focus on high end customers (presumably profitable if not high maintenance) always seems attractive. I guess they mean how they will pitch their marketing. The cheap and cheerful tourists will just keep coming as they look after themselves mostly and share destinations and activities via their own networks. Of course I wouldn’t put it past Ardern to manipulate that situation via taxes and surcharges. Not very socialist but quite WEFy.

I, living in the USA, am curious if in other countries there are incidents of random acts of aggression such as daily happen here. I am not asking about multiple shootings, such as at schools. My curiosity is about unprovoked attacks on an unknown victim.
This sort of thing:
The suspect can be seen on the video sitting on a bus stop bench with the victim standing a short distance away with his back to his attacker. The suspect approaches the victim and abruptly knocks him out with a single punch.
Or this:
A Long Island man is facing assault and weapons charges for allegedly attacking three people with a machete at a sporting goods store.
Another:
A woman fended off an unhinged attacker with a broom and “Wet Floor” sign at a Brooklyn subway station — before video caught him shoving her onto the tracks, …
One more:
seven teenage suspects … brutally beat a 73-year-old man with a traffic cone and other objects in North Philadelphia last month,
Not that it makes for good reading, but if you want to:

Yes.
It is a sign of social breakdown and the failure to accept concepts of individual responsibility for one’s actions and the failure of police to enforce laws against certain classes of people because it is deemed to be “racist” plus courts failing to punish said people.
Look at Once Great Britain.
An 87 year old man in a mobility scooter was just knifed to death for no reason causing outrage.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, a lawyer who once defended 9/11 terrorists, blamed the murder on “long summer daylight hours”, “a heatwave” (now over) and “school holidays” (even though the murderer was 44 years old).

I haven’t experienced it myself, but I don’t go out a lot. About ten years ago our son was walking with a couple of mates up our main street at 3 am on a Sunday morning when a bloke going the other way punched him in the face. He had to go to the hospital to get the injury stitched up, and has permanent scarring.
I put it down to “ice”. Methamphetamine, is it?

Commercial cargo carrying sailing ships are back!
There was a very good reason commercial sailing ships were abandoned as soon as a practical steam engine was developed.
The first steam powered ship crossed the Atlantic in 1819.
More regression back toward the Stone Age by the Left..
https://newatlas.com/marine/oceanbird-wallenius-wing-sail-cargo-ship/
QUOTE
The idea of using sails to power a boat is not exactly a new one; indeed, the earliest known depiction of a ship under sail appears on a painted disc found in Kuwait, dated back to somewhere between 5,000-5,500 BCE.
[..]
The latest concept is the Oceanbird, a giant Pure Car and Truck Carrier capable of transporting up to 7,000 cars at an average speed of 10 knots on a North Atlantic crossing. That’s not quite as quick as a conventional ship; you’re looking at around 12 days instead of the typical 8, but the Oceanbird’s four colossal 80-meter (260-ft) high extendable wing sails promise to reduce emissions by as much as 90 percent.

Had a trip towing an 800 kg (1,750 lbs) trailer from the Canberra bubble to Victoria with 1,000 kg (2,200 lbs) all up weight on the return journey after collecting custom garden beds for veggie growing. Round trip was 750 kms (465 miles) and took 12 hours. My drive averaged 9.3 litres/100 km (25.3 miles/US gallon) using 70 litres (18.5 US gallons) of diesel at $A2.00/litre ($A7.57/US gallon) for total fuel cost of $A140.00. Full tank towing range was about 500 kms (310 miles).
I looked up the specifications for the standard Ford F150 Lightning with 115 kW battery pack. I used the real-world data from this F150 Lightning test towing a 1014 kg (2,235 lbs) van, which was a little heavier than my load. With the trailer connected, they found power draw of 1.3 km/kWh (0.8 miles/kWh) for daytime running. Ford indicate that 98 kW is usable before nanny-mode kicks in, making an effective towing range of 130 kms (80 miles) before full-discharge. I would therefore need to recharge at least 5 times and maybe 7-8 pit-stops during the trip depending on recharge locations. It would turn out to be a two-day trip, and the savings, assuming free power at the recharge locations, would be spent on extra meals and motel accommodation. Good for the economy, bad for my nerves due to range anxiety. Total power consumption would be about 577 kWh, which would cost about A$150.00 using my domestic rates, about the same as the fuel cost.
Sails on the high seas might work, but current technology batteries towing loads doesn’t make any economic or environmental sense.
310
I have to say that the countryside viewed throughout the above trip was in the unprecedently best shape that I have ever seen – due to climate change of course – grass everywhere, lots of happy animals, healthy trees and crops springing from the ground and silt being replenished on the flood plains to revitalise that important ecosystem. All the wetlands were wet again, and the volume of environmental flow in the Murray River system is unprecedented (except for all previous floods).
230
I also forgot to mention that alluvial groundwater aquifers are now fully recharged to supply irrigation water for the next inevitable/unprecedented climate change event.
170
130 km!!! is that fair dinkum from Ford? That wont get me to town and back where I live. I have an F250 and tow my 1500kg empty weight trailer with me often for supplies. Not much use for a pickup truck if you cant pickup, or deliver.
120
You could upgrade to the “extended range” model which would get you another 40 km towing distance – would that help?
Just as an aside, if I happened to have one of those 131 kWh extended range models, it would only take about 34 hours and 26 minutes to fully charge from my home plug using this website as a charging guide.
60
Better than that there are plenty of real world tests on Youtube. Its mightily unimpressive when used for its intended purpose of towing.
20
Even buying a $328,400 Mercedes-AMG EQS EV range anxiety is an issue according to The Weekend Australian Magazine and a road test from Sydney to Canberra and back.
0-100 KMH in 3.8 seconds for a very large limousine sedan of 2.65 tonnes mass.
Fully charged the range was 498 Km of 511 Km claimed maximum. By morning range in the cold conditions was down to 487 Km. Distance to Canberra 580 Km.
Same as all EV the faster the test driver drove the faster the battery pack lost energy and range. However the regenerative braking system did add energy and range.
I live just over 300 Km north of Sydney and my Diesel 4WD can reach Canberra on one tank of fuel.
70
Canberra is about 300kms from Sydney, not 580. Did you mean return?

Sails are fine if you are not in a hurry to be somewhere, and your cargo isn’t perishable, who cares , let ’em at it, they’ll have to pay higher wages, because they are at sea longer, should work just fine.

The next thing will be transport powered by solar panels using the technology developed for vehicles participating in the world solar challenge, a car race from Darwin to Adelaide. The event was created to foster the development solar-powered vehicles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Solar_Challenge
The event started in 1987 and now runs every two years, with the next event being in 2023. So in 40 or more years of technology development there has been no news of the technology being suitable for normal transport.
In the article there is mention of teams for each entry but no mention of support team transport. I suspect that the support teams travel in conventional means of transport

The last sailing cargo ship to round Cape Horn. They fly along at times, and then sit dead still. Crew are lost overboard as a matter of course. Fascinating viewing.
70
I never tire of seeing that film. My great-grandfather was a Cape Horner captain in the years of sail, died in his bunk in home port at Newcastle, aged 93.
Believe it or not, there are still skippers today who are square-rigger Cape Horners, a very select set of mariners.including an Aussie we have been to sea with (aboard a modern ship).
70
I love that film. I love the Captain’s dog. The Captain, what a character! And the narration is first class, that drawl, sounds and reads like a beat poet.
00
My grandfather, when young, went around Cape Horn on a sailing ship. He told my father many years later that there he was up the foremast with one arm around the mast, standing on the first crosstree. So his eyes would have been 45 feet above the deck (plus the clear board to the water level). When the ship went into a wave trough he was saw the wave tops were about the height of the foremast, and when the ship rolled he could see water on both sides. The ship was carrying only one sail on the foremast.
When he (carefully) climbed down to the deck he was congratulated by the second mate about his luck because they would be around the Horn in a day, thanks to the ‘fine weather’. The previous trip of the ship had taken just over 3 days and the waves had been higher than the mainmast (no sail hoisted).
Shortly after that my grandfather got very interested in steam engines, and it was on a steamship as the engineer that he arrived in Fremantle in 1892, just when the gold rush started. The whole crew deserted except for the captain & 4 mates and the ship wasn’t going anywhere so he got a job on shore (looking after steam engines).
40
My great grandfather was captain on one of the first refridgerated ships carrying lamb from Oz to England. The ship still had sails, but a coal fired steam engine to run the refridgeration. He was eventually washed overboard and his widow sent the 4 kids to boarding school, married again and had 4 more. My grandmother left Ireland for Canada to find a husband in about 1914, lied about her age (-4 years) and hooked a young clergyman. The lie was discovered when her Australian birth certificate was necessary to get the OLd age Pension.

It would be rather difficult to go under bridge when entering and leaving ports.

And back in 1988 there was a similar hospital in Melbourne, the West Footscray. It had been built (with 120 beds) and never opened, but it had 72 staff. Unlike Yes Minister it had 2 medical staff, a heavily pregnant nurse who lived very close by and a Matron, who wanted “a proper job”.
My doctor friend was desperate for the Matron to stay there as she was the only one who could decide what action to take. When one of the gardeners slashed his hand and was bleeding she was elsewhere but fortunately came back “before he bled to death” 20 minutes after the accident. **
The public servants couldn’t decide what to do, so she ordered one to call an ambulance while she bandaged the wound.

60
There is the same problem in Australia not just in winter but all year round caused by people using A&E for non-urgent matters rather than going to a GP. The prime reason for this is to avoid GPs’ charges as more and more GPs have stopped bulk billing. For non-Australians bulk billing is when the patient is not charged for the visit and the cost is passed directly to Medicare which, again for non-Australians, is Australia’s universal healthcare insurance scheme funded by Australian tax-payers.

2. Why was the IPCC formed including why it was deemed necesssary?
3. has the IPCC been successful?
4. how does the IPCC measure their achievements?
And so much of the tens of trillions of dollars in costs in the last 34 years are explained.
200
And as the world rapidly cools, which is what real scientists expect and is happening now, how will the IPCC cast that as having two causes. Firstly and obviously, carbon dioxide from fossil fuels (no other source) and secondly, Donald Trump.

“And as the world rapidly cools, which is what real scientists expect and is happening now, how will the IPCC cast that as having two causes. Firstly and obviously, carbon dioxide from fossil fuels (no other source) and secondly, Donald Trump.”
Don’t worry, the IPCCCCC spin doctors are working on it as we speak.
120
And the reasons it is not warming have already been invented by NASA
1. the oceans ‘stole’ the warming. Seriously.
2. the trees have grown prolifically because of warming and have prevented warming, if that makes any sense because it is a contradiction.
100
It’s the windmills and the pv panels don’t you know?
10
The IPCC was formed to assess the contribution of human activity on global warming.
That’s all.
All other issues, factors, influences are ignored – just human activity!
The fact that nature has the dominant role in all of this is beside the point as far as the IPCC is concerned.
130
“to assess the contribution of human activity on global warming.”
Please pardon me, the intent is good but I cannot agree.
1. The UN is not a scientific organization. It is a multinational political organization. What has the weather to do with the UN?
2. The UN was not founded as a scientific organization. It is a forum to prevent wars. Why include climates?
3. Global Warming? In 1988, who said there was Global Warming? And who said it was the province of nations to create and control the world’s temperature? That is chutzpah beyond belief.
Having created an organization specifically to control man made, Government controllable ‘Climate Change’, the first and highest priority was to demand funding.
Personally I think it was a device by which the then WMO, the World Meteorological Organization could get international funding, prestige and travel rights and status by creating the idea that humans are responsible for the long term weather. And it worked. The fact that the name includes ‘Climate Change’ indicates that is the sole and whole argument, that Climates Change because of government policies. Now that’s a big jump, from politics to science.
My point is that every organization wants world funding, a world forum, so the MTO made the argument that Climate Change is world problem for governments and rightfully belonged in the United Nations and its $10Billion funding machine. This promoted meteorologists as significant players in world politics based on the proposition that governments have a significant long term impact on world climate. At that time Global Warming was just and idea because in the 1970s, Global Cooling was all the rage. But the idea that governments control world climates is still a near ridiculous concept.
And we know how many rent seekers have since made their living from ‘saving’ the Great Barrier Reef. Or ‘saving’ koalas. Or ‘saving’ the world from bushfires, floods, droughts, weather events. And they all claim adherence to ‘the Science’ of Climate Change which now includes Hurricanes, bushfires, floods, droughts and even volcanoes and tidal waves.
And how so many ‘climate scientists’ like Al Gore, Tim Flannery, Gina McCarthy, Christiana Figueres, Pachauri had absolutely NO qualifications in meteorology or even in science. (Tobacco farmer and footballer, anthropologist, dead wombat specialist, anthropologist, railway engineer.)
At what point do we humans call ‘shennanigans’ on the whole business of the IPCC? It’s all about the power and the cash. The IPCC should be cancelled.
100
In the southern hemisphere, at least in Melbournistan, the plants seem to know we’ve passed the middle of winter as some are budding and flowering.
NOT GLOBAL WARMING, just nature doing as it’s always done at this time.
130
The pundits are starting to reveal that the entire Southern Hemisphere has been cooling for some years, as expected by real scientists , but it rarely reaches the news. Not a crisis, just the weather.

Is the northern hemisphere a giant heat island? That’s where most people live after all.

Nice graphic. Would you please post the graph in this video at 15:29? Everything about Professor Weiss’ anlysis is exciting. Pure objective Fourier analysis of the weather pattern reveals two and ONLY two cycles to explain the last 270 years. And even more exciting is that these are two obvious well documented cycles, the De Vries sun cycle and the PMO/ADO ocean cycles. For a scientist, that is the jackpot.
Consider that Man made Global Warming cannot explain the immediate past at all. And certainly not the 1870 trough of the Little Ice Age, which Michael Mann and friends deleted. And this graph predicts a plunge into Global Cooling of a few degrees. That will be very hard to explain as CO2 keeps climbing and the oceans keep warming for which the simplest explanation is obvious. The oceans are stuffed with CO2.
70
And while the ONLY argument for man made Global Warming is two things going up roughly over the same time from 1870 (end of the Little Ice Age), that’s it for science. Very rough coincidence, if you pick your starting point carefully. That’s not science.
However Professor Weiss’ real temperature graph as above shows about temperature 7 peaks in 340 years. And not one of them correlates with CO2. We are just going over a peak now and perhaps another Little Ice Age awaits.
And he also explains the overall major cycles over thousands of years. And according to the ice core people CO2 was a constant?

Is the NH a giant heat island? That’s where most people live after all.

” AGL warns of breakdowns as profit dives ” big headline in the Weekend Oz business section yesterday.
Says it all, really.
I used 11MB of my mobile data to download AGL’s 2022 Annual Report, which could well be shelved in the horror book aisle next to Stephen King.
Four years ago AGL paid an annual dividend of $1.19 a share. This year that dividend has shrunk to only 26 cents. Yeech.
No wonder the share price is tanking and there are rumours Canadian investment giant Brookfield might front up for another takeover bid, possibly in cahoots with Australian tech billionaire turned climate crusader Mike Cannon-Brookes.
The CEO of AGL has resigned. He will say sayonara to his juicy $1.5 million salary. And despite the dismal financial performance of his company, he still received a not too shabby bonus of $445k for 2022.
Noice. Except for the poor suffering AGL shareholders. I don’t think Australia’s largest electricity provider can really muddle on like this for very much longer. A future takeover would seem likely.
50
I don’t think any of Australia’s energy systems can really muddle on like this for very much longer. Someone in government and/or media needs to meet the war against fossil fuels head-on and destroy it. If Peter Dutton has the guts to do it, then he will win the next election in a landslide. Trouble is, he doesn’t seem to understand this any more than he understands the energy system, and that rounds to about 0% understanding.
90
If you are holding AGL you are most likely in the true believer camp and are reaping the rewards that go with that.
I guess some may get caught up via mismanaged Super Funds.

Well, that was quick – speaking of settled science, observations by the James Web Telescope have DEBUNKED THE BIG BANG THEORY AND DARK MATTER/ENERGY. Linked video from NASA.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJwEYJb7eks
40
It’s not a video by NASA, only someone using the name. Still, it made for interesting viewing anyway!
30
It is not an official NASA channel and there is no discovery whatsoever from JWST suggesting the Big Bang didn’t happen.
We already know of the cosmic microwave background which is from 380,000 yrs after the Big Bang and the oldest known galaxy, CEERS-93316 comes from 235.8 million years after the BB.
Nothing is older than expected, and ages are in accordance with the BB theory.
Of course, real scientists would never say “the science is settled” either so newer, better theories might come along.
We also need a model of physics that works in a time frame before 10^-43 seconds after the BB. Current physical theories break in that epoch.
31
Yes, “NASA Space News”, not NASA, my bad. But there are many observations now that conflict with BB predictions. To quote Thomas Huxley “the great tragedy of science, the slaying of a beautiful hypothesis by an ugly fact.” Looks like JWST has the capability to settle the question – maybe it will find galaxies 15 or 20 billion years old. Would that do it?
40
Rick, I think it’s good to question everything, and the “Big Bang” is after all, still a theory with some evidence, but no proof, so it should be open to debate. There have been a couple of publications questioning the rate of acceleration of the expansion of the universe, or even if expansion is accelerating at all, for example.
As for distances or ages, the value of the Hubble constant (the “z” coefficient) is somewhat flexible, and it changes the ages of galaxies by a noticeable amount.
The JWST will reveal a lot, and I’ve been following announcements and discussions on it. I still have faith in humanity to keep questioning where we came from, and where we are going, even if there are a lot of lunatics everywhere.
20
The CMB analysis does not support the Big Bang theory. There are hundreds of paradoxes in astronomy now. The universe did not form 13.8 billion years ago. Our universe is eternal. That has physical and ‘philosophical’ implications.
The 2.7C signal which is incorrectly called the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation appears to be caused by dust that surrounds every galaxy. The dust is aligned to an intergalactic magnetic field which explains why the signal has a dipole and has hemispheric asymmetry. The 2.7C is not isotropic. It has a very large cold spot and a small hot spot. The spiral galaxies are also aligned to the same intergalactic magnetic field.
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1510.07929.pdf
CMB anomalies after Planck
Among those features is:
1) a lack of both variance and correlation on the largest angular scales,
2) alignment of the lowest multipole moments with one another and with the motion and geometry of the Solar System,
3) a hemispherical power asymmetry or dipolar power modulation,
4) a preference for odd parity modes
5) and an unexpectedly large cold spot in the Southern hemisphere.
….Despite numerous detailed investigations, we still lack a clear understanding of these large-scale features, which seem to imply a violation of statistical isotropy and scale invariance of inflationary perturbations.
The high redshift galaxies are too large and there are too many high redshift mature galaxies. There is insufficient time for the large mature galaxies to form at high red-shift.
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.01377v2.pdf
THE IMPOSSIBLY EARLY GALAXY PROBLEM
The current hierarchical merging paradigm and ΛCDM predict that the z ∼ 4 − 8 universe should be a time in which the most massive galaxies are transitioning from their initial halo assembly to the later baryonic evolution seen in star-forming galaxies and quasars.
However, no evidence of this transition has been found in many high redshift galaxy surveys including CFHTLS, CANDELS and SPLASH, the first studies to probe the high-mass end at these redshifts. Indeed, if halo mass to stellar mass ratios estimated at lower-redshift continue to z ∼ 6 − 8, CANDELS and SPLASH report several orders of magnitude more M ∼ 10 12−13M ⊙halos than are possible to have formed by those redshifts, implying these massive galaxies formed impossibly early.
https://academic.oup.com/mnrasl/article/470/1/L44/3800707?login=false
Missing dust signature in the cosmic microwave background
I show that even subtle intergalactic opacity of 1 × 10 −7 mag h Gpc −1 at the CMB wavelengths in the local Universe causes non-negligible CMB absorption and decline of the CMB intensity because the opacity steeply increases with redshift. The CMB should be distorted even during the epoch of the Universe defined by redshifts z < 10. …..
..The fact that the distortion of the CMB by dust is not observed is intriguing and questions either opacity and extinction law measurements or validity of the current model of the Universe.

Something is Looming Geopolitically, and We Better Start Taking It Seriously
As a result of western governments’ taking collective action under the auspices of a ‘climate change’ agenda, we are on the cusp of something happening with ramifications that no one has ever seen before.
Western governments’, specifically western Europe, North America (U.S-Canada) and Australia/New Zealand, are intentionally trying to lower economic activity to meet the intentional drop in energy production.
This is the core consequence of the Build Back Better agenda as promoted by the World Economic Forum.
Anyone who says there is a reference point to determine both the short-term and long-term consequences is lying. There is no precedent for nations’ collectively and intentionally trying to reduce economic activity.
Hiding behind the false justification that current inflation is driven by too much demand, central banks in Europe, the Bank of England, Bank of Canada and U.S. federal reserve are raising interest rates. The outcome we are currently feeling is an intentional economic contraction and global recession.

‘Start Reading Labels’: Food Producers Caught Quietly, Deceitfully Putting Crickets In Our Food
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FXlnVs-WYAEcWTR?format=jpg&name=small
I noted a few days ago that MAGGOTS are now also being pushed for human consumption.
I also noted from the Weforum.org site that crickets have been added to some pet foods for YEARS now.
One for the gym junkies:
“If you’re sick of that post-protein-shake bloat or tired of heavy powders and supplements that leave you feeling overly full and sluggish, try this out instead!” This is the very first line that you come across on TMZ’s website in their advertisement for a protein powder alternative made from crickets.
“Cricket protein is high in fiber and prebiotics and is not only easy to digest but research shows it may actually help boost gut-health,” the company said.
“Cricket protein is one of the most sustainable and nutritious protein sources on earth. Not only is it a complete protein that is high in B12, iron, and prebiotics but it also requires a fraction of the resources used by traditional animal protein sources,” Human Improvement wrote.
“In fact, crickets emit 99.9% less greenhouse gases, use 90% less water, and 93% less land than livestock to produce the same amount of protein,” it added.
http://www.yourdestinationnow.com/2022/08/it-begins-tmz-promotes-cricket-protein.html
I’m convinced…still waiting for them to send me the research backing their claims…
Crickets (sound)… 😅
90
“In fact, crickets emit 99.9% less greenhouse gases, use 90% less water, and 93% less land than livestock to produce the same amount of protein,” it added.”
Wow some bold claims there.
So 99.9% less green house gases. Calculated how, 1 cricket against one cow or a 500kgs of crickets against a 500kg cow
90% less water. Hmm I’ll bet a kg of crickets is about 80% water much the same as every other living thing. The water through put argument has been debunked endlessly, this useless factoid is repeated to sound impressive but actually means NOTHING
93% less land to produce the same amount of protein. I’m open to being convinced, however the land used to produce meat proteins also has a huge amount of other fauna and flora. It truely is multi use area, so is the TOTAL amount allowed for or just the bit the cow uses.
Lots of marketing blurb very light on facts
140
A Mr Michael Shellenberger claims parasites were found in 81% of 300 examined insect farms and that the parasites were potentially pathogenic for humans.
Makes ya think, don’t it.
110
“93% less land to produce the same amount of protein.”
Lol! I’ll bet they never included the land to grow the food for the crickets, while using free-range cows! If they measured nitrogen content then multiplied by the usual 6.25 to get protein it would be crook too, insects carry nitrogen in their chitin, so protein equivalences get inflated by about 17%.
Then the cost of the buildings/factories to grow the crickets, and the staff needed, and maybe if we did things that intensively with cows we’d get a better return. However, one farmer to 500tons of cows seems to work OK.
I’m sure the elites won’t be wearing cricket-leather jackets and handbags either.

1,200 Scientists and Professionals Declare: “There is No Climate Emergency”
The political fiction that humans cause most or all climate change and the claim that the science behind this notion is ‘settled’, has been dealt a savage blow by the publication of a ‘World Climate Declaration (WCD)’ signed by over 1,100 scientists and professionals. There is no climate emergency, say the authors, who are drawn from across the world and led by the Norwegian physics Nobel Prize laureate Professor Ivar Giaever. Climate science is said to have degenerated into a discussion based on beliefs, not on sound self-critical science.
Climate models have many shortcomings, it says, “and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools”. They blow up the effect of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, but ignore any beneficial effects. “CO2 is not a pollutant,” it says. “It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth; additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yield of crops worldwide.”

Weekend weirdness. Japan’s Government Wants Young People To Drink More Alcohol.
Japan’s National Tax Agency, a government division responsible for collecting taxes, is sponsoring a unique business strategy contest in hopes of enticing more young people to drink alcohol.
The online contest titled “Sake Viva!” asks young people to submit their ideas for getting the younger generation to spend more money on booze. The tax agency is reportedly worried about a dwindling liquor business, especially after COVID pandemic shutdowns, and wants young people to help “revitalize the industry” according to the contest’s website.
“The domestic alcoholic beverage market is shrinking due to demographic changes such as the declining birthrate and aging population, and lifestyle changes due to the impact of the new coronavirus infection,” the “Sake Viva!” website states. “In this project, by asking young people to propose their own business plans, we will appeal to young people for the development and promotion of Japanese alcoholic beverages, and at the same time, we will revitalize the industry by announcing excellent plans.”

Climate Truth
My name is Terence Cardwell. I spent 25 years in the Electricity Commission of NSW working, commissioning and operating the various power units. My last was the 4 X 350 MW Munmorah Power Stations near Newcastle.

Coal is a short term solution but nuclear is the long-term answer. With fast breeder reactor development (that will inevitably be available in 50-100 years time) 1 tonne of uranium (~$100k) will be able to produce 1GW electrical for a year. A 1GW coal plant needs about 4.5million tonnes of coal a year. There world needs to get rational and ramp up nuclear R&D budgets by 10-100x to bring forward the availability of cheap clean reactor technology and reduce cost of energy (maximiziung economic benefits of R&D that will inevitably occur over long term). There is enough accessible Uranium and Thorium on earth to power our civilization for billions of years – Seawater extraction is cheap enough and is replenished by erosion. Interestingly there is probably 20x as much energy available in the uranium and thorium in the coal ash as there is in the coal itself.
72
But much cheaper and more cost effective for Australia are coal fired power stations, and replacements and additions of generator units using the latest ultra super critical technology.
I support nuclear, maybe modular nuclear reactor generators to replace remote area diesel generators?

In the NW there is a lot of OC gas so pipelines to the Isa and Alice would work. There is plenty of gas up there.

Seems I’m not up with the times.
There is an existing pipeline from Darwin via Tennant Springs to Alice. An undated news article says:
DARWIN, AUSTRALIA—
Clarke Energy and GE’s Distributed Power business (NYSE: GE) today announced that Clarke Energy, GE’s authorised distributor of Jenbacher gas engines, is supplying three of GE’s high-efficiency Jenbacher gas engines to Territory Generation for an upgrade at its existing Tennant Creek Power Station. Earlier this month, Clarke Energy announced it also is supplying 10 of its Jenbacher J624 gas engines to upgrade Territory Generation’s Owen Springs Power Station in Alice Springs. The two projects are part of the Northern Territory Government of Australia’s A$100 million investment in Central Australia.
Here’s a map of existing pipelines. Tennant Ck to Darwin is the missing link but the existing pipe is unlikely to be able to supply much into Nth Qld. I’m pro nuclear but gas powers more than just Volts.
https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2014-10-22/nt-major-projects-conference-adam-giles-gas-pipeline/5833686
But these projects will struggle with wind, solar, social security bleeding the treasury.
10
There’s a relevant amount of gas production (including hydraulic fracturing) from the Amadeus Basin near Alice Springs. There is the “Amadeus Gas Pipeline” connecting Alice Springs and Tennant Creek to Darwin.
00
Live and learn. When I saw the pipe on the map I assumed that the flow was south, not north. So some of the OC turbines out west will already be burning gas.
The US has prospered with their pipelines, economic activity has decentralised. Longer distances here but we can still do it. We have the gas.

Territory Generation is an NT Govt owned corporation. It’s beefing up its dispatchable power generation. At last a sensible Govt decision in Australia.
They have a nameplate 597 MW generation capacity of which 1 MW is solar with diesel backup, and not one windmill. They are a realistic organisation making sure they have reliable power.
Hang on – it’s a Territory Govt and not State. Will Albo the Inclusive intervene and set them on the correct path?

Wind cannot work in the tropics.
Think of the tropical islands the tourists flock to: Would they be going if these islands were windswept like King Is.?
00
Not really. Over both their long lifetimes, USC coal would cost $4800/kW, while SMR nuclear should be around $5596/kW.
30
I should have added that both are way cheaper than wind or solar over the same lifetimes, with wind+backup at $12,372 and solar+backup at $14,882.
30
Nuclear makes little sense for Australia right now. Coal coal coal. When it runs out, nuclear.

In reply to Lawrie’s #1.4.1
“The bastards are indeed mad and demonstrate, if it were necessary, that the woke idiots have no idea of agriculture yet deem to make laws about it”. You’re right Lawrie, they’re relying heavily on the crackpot dogma of Trophim Lysenko and his disasterous doctrine of agriculture implemented in Stalinist Russia which turned sound and successful agricultural practice on its head and absurdly replaced it with the opposite. This resulted in the well documented Holodomor, the mass starvation of 55 million people.
70
If the Liberals (Australia) want to get elected they need to ditch the unreliables, ditch thr Paris Accords, and stop the energy starvation.
As it stands, they will be wiped out in any forthcoming election, including in Vicdanistan.
110
Maybe, but there is no difference offered by Labor and their Greens supporters, and pale green Teals barracking for whatever the others propose.

That’s a real problem. Conservatives don’t push back enough. Some so called conservatives are in agreement it seems. Make’s you wonder why they associate themselves with conservatives?
Some seem to “go along to get along.” They live in fear of being labeled a “den1er” and a CT. They let the MSM dictate their thinking. They therefore become Useful Idjots.
Some are ignorant and defer to “experts.” Defering to “experts” gets them off the hook to research and understand the issue. They are shirking the responsibilities of their jobs.
Many cave to the big bucks. Follow the money.
Very few make a stand after doing their own research including the arguments of dissenting experts and self educate. Those recieve a lot of flak.
30
I would like to see an estimate of how much of the economic productivity of the West (Who subscribe to the anthropogenic global warming fraud) is being consumed by the massive economic burden of unreliables.
Imagine if the money wasted on these was used for something useful.
70
A minute ago I posted that gas pipelines from the NW gas fields through Mt Isa to Townsville with branches would solve power problems but there ain’t no money for that, it is being spent on wind, solar and NIDS. [A horrendously expensive health program]
50
Yes, or via Alice Springs. I think these options were costed at around $5bn. Sounds a lot, but we are currently wasting around $7bn annually subsidising useless unreliable renewables. Would be interesting to compare the final gas cost using pipelines vs shipping and importing.
30
Townsville is already connected to the Eastern gas network ?
What is needed is the connection of the East coast pipelines to the West Coat network
00
If Townsville is now connected to the eastern gas network, I need to update my 2020 pipelines map.
And the suggested cost was $6bn, not $5bn.

The call for a “voice” by a small minority of a minority group of Australians who identify as indigenous ancestry Australians is gradually unravelling to expose the hidden agendas of a treaty for example, power that the Minister has commented no government would dare to ignore. Former Prime Minister John Howard has pointed out that signing a treaty between fellow Australians makes no sense, we are all Australians, and why change the Constitution if the not divulged changes are simple and should not concern us, ATSIC was created and later abandoned because of many problems arising by Federal Parliament with no constitutional law change.
Please consider the 1967 referendum that was approved by a substantial number of voters in all states and terrritories;
In May 1967, after 10 years of campaigning, a referendum on Indigenous recognition in the Australian constitution was held.
The lead-up to the poll focused public attention on the fact that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders were treated as second-class citizens.
Nearly 91 per cent of the electorate voted to amend the constitution. This change meant that Aboriginal people would be counted as part of the population and acknowledged as equal citizens, and that the Commonwealth would be able to make laws on their behalf. This was seen to reflect public recognition of Aboriginal people as full Australian citizens.
81
“Please consider the 1967 referendum that was approved by a substantial number of voters in all states and territories.”
And after giving them the vote and other rights, how many of them actually use their vote.
20
Palm Is votes 98% labor, enough to make Herbert a very unpredictable electorate.
Besides, proportionately, they are well represented in parliament already.
60
Many years ago Prime Minister Cretien offered to accede to “First Nation” demands and disband the dept of Indian Affairs. The money would then be directly given to their national council to administer. The catch was that he demanded EXTERNAL AUDIT. The First Nations declined the offer. I think this says it all in regards to those claiming some kind of special status as aboriginal.

In Vicdanistan the government is going to stop killing horses in national parks.
Maybe they are preserving a stock of horses as they anticipate a shortage when we are forced to ditch cars and return to horse drawn vehicles?

The Greens wouldl quickly condemn the horse transport on the basis of breaking wind emissions and of course dropping poo-lution.

Here’s another way to cut CO2 emissions.
Let all the believers in the anthropogenic global warming fraud reduce their energy consumption by 90% so the rest of us can have some energy to use for comfort and economic productivity.
80
That would mean the end of vacuous virtue signalling.
They would have to walk-the-walk and not just talk-the-talk.
What were you thinking? 😆
100
Neo-hippies in my part could all use a bit of walk the walk. They all drive fuel guzzling vans and old 4WDs, live way up the valleys and go to the big town all the time. Never ceases to amaze me the hypocrisy. They all have little money so Im watching with interest for their reaction to EV mandates.
40
And what Im really looking forward to is the off grid house dwellers who rely on petrol cars to afford their novelty lifestyle, and how they’re going to charge their electric car with their second hand solar panels.

World’s first human case of rat disease found in Hong Kong
A Hong Kong man has developed the world’s first ever human case of the rat version of the hepatitis E virus, according to new research from one of the city’s leading universities.
There had previously been no evidence the disease could jump from rats to humans, the University of Hong Kong said Friday, warning the discovery had “major public health significance”.
“This study conclusively proves for the first time in the world that rat HEV can infect humans to cause clinical infection,” the university added.
Rat hepatitis E virus is very distantly related to human hepatitis E virus variants, HKU said.

Aviation Color Code for Ta’u and Ofu-Olosega volcanos raised to Yellow, American Samoa
The earthquake swarm that started in the Manua’ Islands, American Samoa on July 26, 2022, continues without abating. As a result, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) has raised the Aviation Color Code for Ta’u and Ofu-Olosega volcanoes to Yellow.
Based on felt reports and historic activity, Taʻū and Vailuluʻu seamount were initially identified as possible sources for the recent earthquakes in the region.
However, it was difficult to confirm the source until a few days ago as there were no seismometers close enough to determine the distance to the source of the earthquakes.1
The latest seismic data indicates that the source for these earthquakes is beneath the Manuʻa Islands, likely closer to Taʻū island rather than Ofu-Olosega.

Canadian Veteran’s Affairs employees under investigation for advising veterans that they should consider medically assisted suicide for PTSD and other type injuries. Given the work of veterans organisation’s in recent years to raise the issue of veterans suicide and to try and reduce the numbers, this is particularly disturbing. I hope that this does not become the case in Australia but it is conceivable that it could also happen here, particularly with the recent passing of various state laws for assisted dying. This was not the intent of this legislation but I can see it being twisted to save an organisation money.

They tune you up with ‘patriotism’.
They wave flags and sing songs.
They need warriors because they aren’t capable of bearing the load.
Off you go.
You do the dirty job they don’t have the stomach for.
You come home and suddenly they look askance at you.
Here in America, 20+ years of shipping ‘patriots’ off to fight the GWOT
But, never mind.
If you don’t come back, they’ll name an overpass after you.
If you do come back, your ‘patriotism’ makes you suspect.
In my neighborhood, a Ukraine flag (along side your Rainbow flag) makes you a caring citizen, an American flag makes you a suspected ‘extremist’.
Of course they’ll offer assistance.
All for poster boys like Justin, and saviors of ‘democracy’ like Liz Cheney an Adam Schiff.

Think of all the advantages Big Moose. If its medically assisted then it wont “appear” in the suicide stats. It will be a quite reference to so and so “passed away peacefully ” .
Also cleaner than some sad old veteran topping himself in the familly garage.
It really will be just a political adjustment that saves governments from ever aknowledgeing that many veterans need help.
Simply and cynically just a cost saving exercise

Is this really happening?
examples from educational slides for small children in public schools in Portland, Oregon:
‘We are to learn about three important words
NAMES GENDER PRONOUNS
Some kids have heard these words and others have not. That’s ok, we will learn about them together.
‘Gender is like outer space because there are as many ways to be different genders as there are stars in the sky! Each person is different and that is cool!
‘Some people are boys.
Some people are girls.
Some people are not a boy or a girl. They are just a person.
Some people are still figuring it out.’
note to teachers:
This lesson can be split into 2-3 parts depending on your learners. See the space slide for a sugested lesson split with links to student activities
Make sure to use the wording written on the slides, as it was very intentional and is gender inclusive for all identities. The slides are text heavy to help teachers with language. This lesson was written by trans people.

-Medicalxpress: ‘Past medical testing on humans revealed’
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons in the mid-1970s effectively excluded all research by drug companies and other outside agencies within federal prisons.
As the supply of prisoners and mental patients dried up, researchers looked to other countries.
It made sense. Clinical trials could be done more cheaply and with fewer rules. And it was easy to find patients who were taking no medication, a factor that can complicate tests of other drugs.
Pfizer Inc., gave an antibiotic named Trovan to children with meningitis in Nigeria, although there were doubts about its effectiveness for that disease. Critics blamed the experiment for the deaths of 11 children and the disabling of scores of others. Pfizer settled a lawsuit with Nigerian officials for $75 million but admitted no wrongdoing.’
-The Guardian, 2011:’ Pfizer pays out to Nigerian families of meningitis drug trial victims’
But last year a US diplomatic cable uncovered by WikiLeaks revealed that Pfizer hired investigators to look for evidence of corruption against the Nigerian attorney general in an effort to persuade him to drop the legal action.
Pfizer had planned to sell Trovan in the US and Europe after the trials on African children. However, its licence was withdrawn in Europe because of concern over liver toxicity.

Who’s pushing the transgender agenda? There seems to be some serious money behind it.
Enter the Pritzkers. (dramatic drum roll)
Worth at least US$15 billion, the richest family in Chicago, and among the richest in the US; Jay Pritzker, is the current governor of Illinois.
The Pritzkers basically run Chicago and the state. They are the people who put an unknown guy called Oback Barama into the Senate and then the White House, sorry, Barack Obama. Installing a Potus is just another day’s work for these political powerbrokers.
It’s Jennifer Pritzker, whose own 3 children have all “transitioned”, who is the fan of promulgating “synthetic sex identities” to use their favoured terminology. Pritzker-related groups try to promote gender confusion in both children and adults. Nonbinary is good.
Canada is always at the speartip of the woke battlefield, so it is no surprise that Jennifer Pritzker sponsors the Bonham Center for Sexual Diversity Studies at the University of Toronto.
And here’s the real kicker: Jennifer Pritzker was born James Pritzker! And if you’re thinking does that mean… yes, it does.

There was a lefty feral music festival in my town this weekend. They were asking on facebook for anyone who had one of those diesel tanks on a ute who could do runs to fill up their diesel generator for their stage and lighting.
They did have a welcome to country ceremony so I think that is the offset.
51
Be nice, you don’t need to be “lefty, feral” to enjoy music, or a weekend you wouldn’t tell Mum about.

Of course you don’t have to be, but these people are. Why avoid the truth ? You seem to think Im referring to all music as leftist and feral (which is kind of true anyway).
And no they’re not just playing music and having a naughty weekend, they’re actively pushing their leftist politics onto children. It destroys peoples lives. I see no reason to be “nice” about that. They are feral, they are leftists, they are dangerous. We had to send our children away from this area for schooling to avoid all the feral local kids. On school holidays we also took them away. It was a lot of effort and money, but it worked. Being “nice” doesn’t.
