THE MORNING RANT: What If We Had Relied on “Renewable Energy” During the Christmas Cold Snap; also, Climate Fraud and Related Data Tampering

The recent arctic blast of cold air would have been a mass casualty event if renewables were the only source of energy.

Look at this graph of the fuel sources keeping Texans warm – and alive - on December 23 at 10:24 PM.

Solar = 0.0%
Wind = 3.9%
Natural Gas, Coal, and Nuclear = 96.0%

Nationally, on the night of December 23, with the country in the grip of the brutal cold, national electricity demand soared to 632 GW (or 632,000 MW.) At the same time, total wind production collapsed, dropping to a mere 45 GW.

Again, if the country were relying simply on “renewable” energy sources for its electricity, the cold snap would have been an apocalyptic, mass casualty event.

Be sure to check out the yellow line in the lower graph. That is solar electricity production. Please note its up-and-down pattern, bottoming out at 0 MW every single day. That’s because the sun doesn’t shine at night! On a cold winter night, it doesn’t matter how many acres of solar panels your utility company has devoted to solar production, it is getting exactly 0 MW of electricity from solar panels.

Solar and wind can never be anything more than boutique forms of incremental electricity production, and they will never, ever, be able to keep this country warm on cold winter nights.

It is time for the “adults in the room” in both politics and business to stop giving lip service to the lie that we can replace this country’s energy needs with “renewables.” It is not possible, and pretending that it is possible is a very dangerous lie that could have catastrophic consequences.

If man-made climate change were real, why would “climate scientists” need to engage in so much easily documented fraud to advance their agenda?

This is a major scandal, but Tony Heller makes a funny point here, specifically that “human activities” are responsible for the apparent temperature increases shown in NASA climate graphs. Of course, the “human activities” he refers to are the fraudulent data tampering conducted by climate scientists, in which historical temperature records are adjusted to fit the current narrative.

NASA’s historical climate data from 1880 to 2000 is shown in the top graph dated 1999. By 2019, NASA had “adjusted” the historical data to reduce peak heat during the 1930s and to create the perception of late 20th century temperatures trending upward.

Also, have you ever pondered how it’s possible that pretty much every year for the past 20 years has been reported as the 2nd or 3rd warmest year ever? Shouldn’t some of these “2nd warmest years” occasionally slot below previous “2nd warmest years”?

Of course, “climate scientists” have a fix for that too! Well, it’s actually the same fix they always apply. They simply alter the previous data to produce the fraudulent results they want to report.

This official scientific fraud, combined with all the apocalyptic climate prophesies that never came true*, are more than sufficient reason to assume that every single word said about the “climate crisis” is false.

[*I did not check the news today to see if the Maldives are underwater, or if Manhattan’s West Side Highway is submerged, or if most East Coast beaches are gone, or if the northern hemisphere is devoid of snow. Please correct me if these promised climate consequences actually happened.]

One more thing - there is nothing more exasperating than hearing a “conservative” politician meekly oppose the eco-communist’s agenda while still conceding that “man-made climate change is real,” which means he simply wants to go slower on achieving the leftists’ objectives, while ultimately still supporting their anti-fossil fuel agenda.

Should humans be good stewards of the planet God has given us? Yes. Is man-made climate change real? No. If it were, the “scientific community” wouldn’t need to engage in such overt fraud to push the communist climate agenda. If man-made-climate change were real, all those apocalyptic predictions would not have turned out to be false prophecies. Why would anyone continue to believe “the climate community” after their long history of fraud and phony predictions?

Tomorrow night is New Year’s Eve. If you’re the type to celebrate, tell us what you’ll be doing.

Here’s a fun version of Auld Lang Syne by Reina Del Cid that is compliant with Throckmorton’s First Law of Live Music. (“If there’s an upright bass in the band, it’s probably going to be good.)

See you in 2023!
