Danish Wind Power Myth


WASHINGTON – President Obama has frequently cited Denmark as an example to be followed in the field of wind power generation, stating on several occasions that the Danes satisfy “20 percent of their electricity through wind power.” The findings of a new study released this week cast serious doubt on the accuracy of that statement. The report finds that in 2006 scarcely five percent of the nation’s electricity demand was met by wind. And over the past five years, the average is less than 10 percent — despite Denmark having ‘carpeted’ its land with the machines.

Climate Cools for Global Warming Party


The Carbon Sense Coalition today claimed that the emissions trading schemes proposed for the western world will guarantee another global financial crisis for tourism, transport and world trade.

The Chairman of “Carbon Sense” Mr Viv Forbes, said that the real global warming crisis, for tourism and trade, was being created in Parliament.

Climate Sceptics news – 11/09/09


The political climate continues to hot up, with more double dissolution triggers possible as the senate continues to reject government legislation. One would expect a double dissolution is going to be an option for Kevin Rudd to call from February next year.

I have included a PowerPoint® slide show (http://carbon-sense.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/ashby-presentation.pps, 2.6MB) for you to pass around to your email contacts or to use at any community group meetings you get a chance to put something on.

Please send it to whoever you like.

No Tourists Please – this is Green Britain


I read that the UK government is proposing to price airfares so as to ration air travel to reduce carbon emissions.

Our experience is that they already practice a form of rationing for “tourists.”

Last year my best friend and I stopped in England on our way home from Italy. We were so looking forward to it as we have been to England twice before and we both, especially as we are historians, enjoy each and every “adventure.” It will be, alas, our last time.

I had already made all the arrangements and when I went to book the England leg of the trip, I was told that there would be a $585 +/- charge for coming into the country and staying. That charge was for both of us, but we were horrified that we were being charged to spend money in England, as that was what we were doing. And it was too late to change our hotels and airline tickets. Thus we were trapped.

It greatly limited our chances at exploring new areas as our funds were limited. Thus we spent two days in London and two days in York. The shopping we had planned to do was taken off our list, as were the bookstores and the restaurants. We purchased items from a deli and ate in our room. We walked everywhere and we were so disappointed that we would no longer be coming to England.

Yes, government control is a wonderful thing, but it is also a truly indiscriminate, destructive power.

Kind of like a hurricane or a tidal wave. It cannot be diverted and destroys everything in its way.

“Climate Control” or “Be Prepared”: Which Shall We Choose?


There are two ways to cope with climate change – you can try to control the climate and thus change the future, or you can be prepared to adapt to or cope with whatever the future brings. The choice is “Climate Control” or “Be Prepared”.

“Climate Control” has a number of problems.

Firstly, there is no evidence that man’s activities do indeed control global temperature – all we have are unproven theories and computer model forecasts. Therefore whatever we do may have no effect on climate…

Climate Change and Group Tyranny


I have read an interesting book, titled The Tyranny of the Group by psychiatrist Dr. Andrew Malcolm.

In that book he points out how group voodoo leaders from Haiti, to tribal witch doctors, to religious leaders of all denominations, to Joseph Goebbels conducting the Nuremberg rallies, mass-indoctrinate their audiences.

He drew attention to the Nuremberg rallies, which, he stated were masterpieces of the art of mass persuasion. They culminated in the mesmeric speeches of Adolf Hitler, with two hundred hundred thousand people simultaneously raising their right hands in a massive Seig Heil to the Fuhrer.

William Shirer in his Berlin Diary stated: “There in the floodlit night, jammed together like sardines in one mass formation, the little men of Germany who have made Nazism possible, achieved the highest state of being the Germanic man knows: the shedding of their individual souls and minds – with the personal responsibility and doubts and problems – until under the mystic lights and at the sounds of the magic words of the Austrian, they were merged completely in the Germanic herd.”

Dr. Malcolm points out that such scenes made crowds of people from the ancient Romans to modern Americans susceptible to such mass hypnosis.

Today such mass hypnosis, engineered by Al Gore, the IPCC, and Western political leaders in a convincing display of propaganda, is persuading the masses of their “sins” of allegedly endangering life on the planet, by contributing to the “dangerous” emissions of carbon dioxide.

Luckily, not all are susceptible to such propaganda.

Sky Money


What a great headline in a weekend newspaper, The rush is on for sky money. The comparison between ETS and the cargo cultists of PNG couldn’t be more apt. Mani bilong skai is already attracting the shysters and get-rich-quick merchants, for the lie is big and the suckers are many (‘Would you like to trade this splendid piece of thin air for some of those old dollars?’). Those old dollars won’t be worth much if ETS becomes law.

Solar Power Realities – Addendum


By Peter Lang

This paper compares the capital cost of three electricity generation technologies based on a simple analysis. The comparison is on the basis that the technologies can supply the National Electricity Market (NEM) demand without fossil fuel back up…

The three technologies compared are:

1. Nuclear power;
2. Solar photo-voltaic with energy storage; and
3. Solar thermal with energy storage.
