COP28: Who Matters? — Follow-up

One reader offered this chart in evidence: Of course, the chart is in percentages, and does show, on that basis, that the percentage of renewables has increase 10% while fossils fuels have dropped by 15%. But, what about COAL? The "Dirtiest" of all fossil fuels? 84% of the increase in coal consumption, worldwide, is the result of additional coal-fired power plants in China alone.

Just to round out the set, another reader properly points outs that electrical generation is a small piece of the energy pie, and that Primary Energy is the much larger usage of fuels.

What is the source of that primary energy?: What's the problem? Oh, you can't see the percentage that is renewable? The percentage that is nuclear? That's the point! If the IPCC world wishes to reduce fossil fuels use, it is the primary energy sector they must concentrate on.

If the IPCC is to rein in fossil fuel consumption in just the electrical sector, China and India must agree to not only stop building more coal-fired plants, but must begin to close or re-power the existing coal-fired plants.

We need cement, we need steel, we need aluminum, we need plastics, we need micro-chips, we need petroleum distillates and by-products.

Even without the Climate Crazies' viewpoint, fossil fuels are just too valuable to simply burn for their energy content.

We need new sources of power and more so do we need new technologies to make the things we need without wasting the fossil fuels available to us.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

FDA & U.S. Postal Service Linked to Black Market Abortion Pill Cartels.

 Mexico-based drug cartels facilitating an increase in unauthorized, self-conducted abortions in the United States continue unimpeded partly due to insufficient regulation by the Food and Drug Administration and the United States Postal Service, according to a report by the American Life League. Katie Brown, ALL's national director, criticizes the FDA and USPS for failing to adequately regulate the distribution and screening of abortion-inducing drugs like Mifepristone and Misoprostol. Subscribe here The report, titled Beneath the Surface: Exposing the Abortion Pill Drug Cartel, highlights the operations of Las Libres, a Mexico-based organization that advocates for universal abortion access. It promotes the distribution of abortion pills through online networks, reaching women and girls across the U.S., often sending the drugs via USPS. RISKS.

James Ray Epps Breaks Federal Law Lying To FBI Agents, Again, In Never Before Released Leaked Audio: ‘You Are The Boss’

 The Gateway Pundit has obtained more leaked audio of James Ray Epps' providing materially false statements during an abnormally friendly interview with the Federal Bureau of Investigations about his role in the Capitol riot, a crime punishable by up to eight years in prison. Joined by his attorney John Blischak, a former FBI agent, and his wife Robyn Epps during a voluntary March 3, 2021 interview, Epps assured the feds while laughing and cracking jokes that he only traveled from Arizona to Washington, DC to protect his son James Ray Epps Jry and "Try to deescalate" a "Raging" crowd amid a terrorist attack he suspected would transpire involving a bomb. On the 8th, Epps insisted at least fourteen times that he only traveled to DC to "Try to calm them down." Conspicuously, in thousands of hours of January 6 footage, Epps is never seen with his son. Epps claimed Baked Alaska, who served 60 days in prison for protesting at the Capitol, was to blame for in...
