Offshore wind farms generate enormous amounts of waste through decommissioned turbine blades.

Despite what proponents claim, this unreliable energy source is anything but green.

Hunga Tonga is still affecting the atmosphere.

On Jan 15, 2022, the underwater volcano erupted in the South Pacific. It blasted roughly 160 million metric tons of water vapor into the stratosphere, increasing levels by an unprecedented 10%.

Most major eruptions cool the planet by injecting reflective aerosols. Hunga Tonga erupted underwater and punched seawater high into the atmosphere.

Water vapor is the most dominant greenhouse gas.

NASA warned the eruption could have a temporary warming effect.

Then global temperatures spiked in 2023 and 2024. Predictably, the spike was sold as proof of accelerating CO2-driven warming, with activist-scientists downplayed any influence from the record Hunga Tonga eruption.

But now comes the next test. The excess water vapor is now declining, slowly, and with it, global temperatures are also falling. The accelerating crisis looks a lot like a temporary atmospheric pulse, now fading on schedule.

Here again, we have a natural driver dominating Earth's climate.

‼️THE AUDACITY. This is a case study in what happens when Socialists run out of other people's money & expect a gargantuan bailout.

THIS is what's best for New Jersey? I CALL BULLSHIT. This experiment FAILED. The amount of entitlement here could choke a horse. NO.

It's hot in France but cool elsewhere, yet Washington Post climate dead-ender @BenNollWeather continues to blame France warming on emissions:

"While heat domes aren’t new, they can now produce higher temperatures and humidity than in the past because of climate change, making them more dangerous."

Per poor Ben's logic, without "global warming," it would have been a much cooler 111°F in France instead of the recorded 112°F. 🙄

How this isn’t being covered by our local media is beyond me.

How this isn’t NATIONAL NEWS is beyond me.

Here you have an entire county, two towns, and a nonprofit suing to protect itself from authoritarian solar overreach out of Albany.

This same county, the Town of Glen, and GlenFARMLand also sued a few months ago over Mill Point Solar.

That is 7 total lawsuits out of one county in the span of 3 months in an effort to protect itself.

Why do we all need to sue?

ORES was created in a way where it supersedes local zoning and moratoriums, as well as our home rule that is granted to New York citizens in our state constitution. It does it all to forcibly site wind and solar against the will of the rural residents, town supervisors, and county attorneys.

And legacy media wonders why it’s dying in our world today. What a joke.

@elonmusk “What multiculturalism boils down to is that you can praise any culture in the world except Western culture. And you cannot blame any culture in the world except Western culture.”

@TheRabbitHole @elonmusk Thomas Sowell again: 'If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 50 years ago, a liberal 25 years ago, and a racist today.' Exactly why the double standard exists.

“OFFSHORE WIND IS DESTROYING OUR FISHERIES” - TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SOUNDS THE ALARM

During @POTUS's seafood industry proclamation signing, LindellTV's @CaraCastronuova asked whether the administration plans to continue fighting a court ruling allowing the construction of offshore wind turbines off the Atlantic coast near New York. She noted that fishermen have overwhelmingly supported Trump's efforts to stop the projects, arguing they threaten commercial fishing and national security.

Interior @SecretaryBurgum didn't mince words.
“Absolutely, positively, the construction of these wind towers have an effect on fisheries.”

Burgum pointed to concerns over declining fisheries, impacts on whales and marine mammals, and warnings from the Pentagon that offshore wind installations create national security vulnerabilities.

“It's a huge national security threat, bad for marine mammals, bad for fish.”

He also warned that massive offshore wind farms could interfere with radar systems and create vulnerabilities along America's most densely populated coastline.

President Trump agreed, adding:
“They do affect fishing and it's very bad.”

Climate campaigners tell you green is cheap

It isn't

Global green transition cost is now $14+ trillion, rising with over $2 trillion/year (2% of global GDP)

105x our spending to avoid hunger

Still, CO₂ emissions set another record last year

New York State politicians want the tax-paying citizens of this state to fund a grant program that they pitch to solar companies.

NYSERDA gets that money from the delivery charge on your electric bill. It’s why you can’t afford your electricity payment.

The grant program will be shopped to foreign corporations intent on cashing in.

The “green” in green energy is nothing more than money.

The losers? Our wildlife, our water, and our environment.

These people must be stopped.

DO IT! "We made a deal where we'd give her windmills. She broke the deal. So I guess we're withdrawing the windmills."

[Alex Fasulo @alex_fasulo]

Solar and wind developers will do anything to make sure their contracts aren't shared or discussed online. That's why they all include gag orders.

I received this Flat Creek Solar contract that the landowner opted not to sign.

Of all the horrifying clauses in this contract, I need you to sit, specifically, with this one: "Developer shall have the right, at its option, to further extend the Term for three additional periods of five (5) years (each, a Renewal Period) following the expiration of the Operating Period."

Here you have a contract that admits to 5-years of evaluation, 25-years of operating, and now 15 additional years (not defined) if the developer so chooses.

That comes to a 45-year lease... of our prime farmland to foreign renewable corporations.

The panel manufacturers assign a 12-15 year warranty for the panels. Anyone who has lived by a commercial solar complex, especially in a climate where our winters sit below freezing for months at a time, including hail storms, ice storms, blizzards, and in Western New York, Lake Effect Snow and tornados, knows that these panels, if there are no natural disasters, will last MAYBE 12-years out in the open.

So why do these foreign companies need our land for 45-years?

What comes AFTER the solar complexes?

Since the panels will only generate at 12-15% of their annual potential in our climate (a 100MW solar facility will realistically generate 12-15MW of power per year), this isn't a fix for our grid.

These companies know that. That's why the contracts are shockingly one-sided and threatening.

Why do they need our prime farmland for almost 50-years?

These are questions anyone with an ounce of common sense should be asking themselves today. This is foreign interference in our country under the guise of "clean" energy.

Berkeley Earth researcher Zeke Hausfather says skeptics are harassing women climate scientists with insults online.

He told Euronews that comments about past heatwaves from 1921 or 1976 count as targeted disinformation.

Hausfather admits most of it is just people throwing insults, but claims female researchers face worse.

Skeptics keep noting that earlier generations dealt with extreme heat without the current panic.

Possibly the Washington Post should have held on to @capitalweather. Below is the Washington Post's local weather forecast for today. It's not very helpful. Maybe the Post could have kept the Capital Weather Gang but instructed them to stick to the weather. Now we have no weather – just climate hoax.🙄
