“The academic community is vastly overbuilt. And perhaps no area more than the climate intelligentsia. It is ‘publish or perish’, with anti-fossil-fuel research being the narrative of the day.”
Working from false assumptions has sunk a million intellectual ships. One example is an article in Science by Emily Grubert and Joshua Lappen, Fossil Energy Minimum Viable Scale (2026). As summarized by Renée LaReau, also with the University of Notre Dame:
… Continue ReadingAs the world shifts toward renewable energy sources, some experts warn that a lack of planning for the retirement of fossil fuels could lead to a disorderly and dangerous collapse of existing systems that could prolong the transition to green energy….
The researchers introduced the concept of “minimum viable scale,” a threshold of production below which a fossil fuel system can no longer function safely or economically.
“Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and Oracle have announced AI capital spending plans totaling $650 billion this year, up 70% from 2025 and up 650% from 2020. This single-year spending total is larger than the individual Gross Domestic Product of 168 nations.”
“Economy-transforming artificial intelligence faces a rising battle between the Trump administration and progressive environmental groups, a major issue for the mid-term elections.”
Artificial intelligence is impacting the economy on a scale that may surpass changes from the internet revolution. Science, technology, energy, transportation, health care, industry, and business are being transformed at an accelerating pace. President Trump has emerged as an AI champion, but opposition is rising from progressive and environmental groups.
The term “artificial intelligence” was coined by John McCarthy at Dartmouth College in 1955. But it took 67 years until the introduction of ChatGPT in November of 2022 for AI systems to master the complexities of human language.…
Continue ReadingLeading global warming alarmist Andrew Dessler has joined the Texas Air Conditioning Contractors Association (TACCA), a nonprofit trade association for the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration contractors (HVAC). The former Texas A&M climatologist’s new outreach program, “Scorched Earth–Buy or Fry,” will begin next month in the Lone Star State.
“Andy has been instrumental is making the case for increasing heat waves and extreme weather, which is good for our business,” stated TACCA head Makin Summers. “Nobody can spike demand better than a highly credentialed climate scientist who gets red in the face and shouts expletives at his cooler-head opponents.”
“I am happy to make money where my mouth is,” stated Dessler. “Whether it’s air conditioning, mist machines, or ice makers, it is time for mass, universal purchases.”
“Angry Andy is perfect as TACCA’s salesman,” added Robert Bradley of the Institute for Energy Research, normally a critic of climate exaggerators.…
