Retired science attorney, chemical engineer, now researching and write rebuttals to CO2-induced global warming.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

My paper presented at AIChE from 2020, free-access, with NOAA’s own data for temperatures in 82 remote, tiny towns in CONUS, from 1900. Zero warming was found. A 60-year cycle is clearly evident.

@Electroversenet No. Especially so for offshore wind.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@DaveThroup Not in the small towns and villages.

@RaminNasibov @elonmusk Star Trek. From a teletype console via an IBM mainframe. Oops, that was 1976.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@MohammedAbbasi @BLackgold_5 Bingo.

When comparing 2025 to 1950 for total US energy use and its distribution between urban vs rural, we see that energy use per square meter of urban area increased roughly 2-4 Watts/square meter. Almost all energy used is rejected to either the atmosphere or to a body of water (e.g. river). This alone accounts for almost all of the measured warming.

Would be nice if the same calculation was done in other countries. We might see similar results.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

A few basics on global warming:

80% of the population lives on 2% of the land area.

Cleaner air since 1975 allows more solar energy to reach the surface

Water vapor from human activities increased massively since 1950; cooling towers, irrigation spray, lawn watering

Recent El Ninos tip the scales to warming.

(Did you see CO2 on this list?)

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@writethewrongs2 My take is the climate disaster predictions all failed spectacularly; so people are fed up with the total BS ( bad science).

Btw, tiny towns are not warming. At all.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@MichaelAArouet Air conditioning, more cars, bigger homes.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@Math_files Nah. Like our Sun, the plan is to spin the reactor so that a magnetic field develops. Then electricity just flows. (Sarcasm)

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@FactsAboutTexas My sainted Mother, RIP.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@OrevaZSN Thanks to human activity, ALL of the above have improved since 1950. Just refer to the polluted skies over London in the 1950s; the raw sewage in rivers and oceans, and clear-cutting forests since 1800.

We DID do better.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@DanielCDolmar @CJHandmer My engineering undergrad had a summer co-op program whereby I (and others) worked in our industry for 3 Summers. We gained invaluable experience.

If industry wants new grads with a bit of experience, I can recommend that program.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

This is the way forward.

[Mark Z. Jacobson @mzjacobson]

TotalEnergies advances France’s largest offshore wind project and largest renewable energy project (1.5 GW).

Enough electricity for 1 million homes.

@Electroversenet Stay tuned, fossil fans. The big triad (w, s, batteries) are gaining as FF loses share.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@_IngredientX @jim8oy66 No. Just, no.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

Are AI training materials balanced between leftist and conservative views?

Grok: 5-28-2026
“No, AI training materials are not balanced between leftist and conservative views. They exhibit a systematic left-leaning skew, driven primarily by the sources of data used in pre-training, with reinforcement during fine-tuning and alignment.”

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@aaronshem No. AI is trained on existing writings, almost exclusively written by leftists. Copyrighted materials are not in their training set. AI results are therefore wrong in almost every respect.

Don’t take my word for this; ask Grok yourself.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@cliff_mcqueen @Electroversenet It is less than zero here about half the time. Suggest you do some research.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@JunkScience No. See Texas for the evidence. Negative prices encourage investment in battery storage. The great triad: wind, solar, batteries.

[Roger Sowell @RogerESowell]

@HancockAnalysis Yup. Cleaner air will do that. CO2; never!!
