Examining ESG

  SCIENCE Climatic consequences of the process of saturation of radiation absorption in gases  "This article provides a brief review of research on the impact of anthropogenic increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration on Earth's climate. A simplified analysis of resonant radiation absorption in gases is conducted. Building upon the material from the cited articles, theoretical and empirical relationships between radiation absorption and the mass of the absorbing material are presented. The concept of saturation mass is introduced. Special attention is given to the phenomenon of thermal radiation absorption saturation in carbon dioxide. By comparing the saturation mass of CO2 with the quantity of this gas in Earth's atmosphere, and analyzing the results of experiments and measurements, the need for continued and improved experimental work is suggested to ascertain whether additionally emitted carbon dioxide into the atmosphere is indeed a greenhouse gas." "...in t...

This week in the Science category I bring you the tantalizing possibility that hydrocarbons may have not only a biogenic origin, but an abiogenic one, where hydrocarbons are created at high temperature and pressure deep in the Earth, followed by a review of research purporting that the vast majority of scientific papers support the man-made global warming hypothesis, then data on cyclone and burned area trends. Under Investment/Economics we have articles on climate safety denial, alternative energy reality checks, ESG fund trends, wind and solar sick days and opposition to a battery plant. For Absurdities this week I bring you the Extinction clock, rapid-wearing EV tires and boiling testicles.  Check it out. SCIENCE Abiogenic Deep Origin of Hydrocarbons and Oil and Gas Deposits Formation This chapter from the peer-reviewed book "Hydrocarbon" examines the rationale for the creation of hydrocarbons deep in the earth by a combination of high temperatures and pressures. This is ...

Two political documents were just published at essentially the same time, but with opposite intentions. One is all about liberating the human mind in pursuit of life-promoting energy. The other is about using government force to stop citizens, energy producers, and energy sellers from speaking freely the truth about fossil fuels. First, the good stuff. Not being American but Canadian, and being in favour of any politician or political party that has pro-reason, pro-human, pro-rights policies, it is wonderful to see the Republican National Committee come out with an energy policy resolution that is likely the best one ever crafted. You can download it using this link , but the full text is below. How inspiring to see such a statement published in a world that has such irrational ideas about energy and prosperity!  RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A TRANSFORMATIVE ENERGY FREEDOM POLICY FOR AMERICA WHEREAS, Affordable, reliable energy is essential to American and human prosperity because it giv...

This week in Science I bring you a fascinating application of stochastics to the question of cause and effect in the temperature-CO2 relationship, and the data shows that only a temperature-caused change in CO2 is supported, not the other way around as alarmists claim, meaning the entire climate brouhaha is again proven false, along with everything and all the insane policies that have sprung from it. As I constantly demonstrate, there is ample evidence from the scientific disciplines of physics, chemistry, astrophysics, mathematics, biology and other areas that there is no dangerous man-made global warming, no climate emergency or crisis, and that natural cycles dominate the climate. Anyone who cares to learn can easily find all this. Another article explains how official record-keepers constantly adjust past temperatures downwards to make it seem like greater warming has occurred – a most suspicious bias. In the Investment/Economics category, I have an explanation of how Biden’s LNG ...

I hope investment managers read some of this, beginning with the scientific basis for abandoning climate change alarmism, which leads to a more rational investment and economic understanding. It is all integrated and all makes sense once you reach a good understanding of the science and where the knowledge system has gone astray.  This week in science I feature data showing that arctic sea ice is at its highest in 21 years, and in the US hurricane damage per GDP is on a long-term decline as we gain mastery over the weather. In the category of Investment/economics I have articles explaining how  • ESG policies are harming the most vulnerable,  • the complete failure of wind and solar in the recent Alberta cold snap,  • how renewable diesel is a fantasy,  • how fossil fuels dominate despite trillions spent on alternatives,  • why net metering is nonsense,  • the decline of offshore wind,  • how green energy is causing the decline of th...

This week in science features a deep dive into those projections of temperature change that are actually realistic. Since all the economic and political aspects of climate change are predicated on there being a scientifically proven man-made emergency/crisis, understanding what the scientific literature shows us is vital to everything that follows, and there is a massive body of literature across all scientific disciplines showing that nature has always been dangerous and there is no global change detectable. Understanding how models are created, validated and used is vital. The article referenced is just one of many, but captures high-level knowledge about models. In economics/investment I have references to articles on ESG wars, the Green Energy Gender Gap, Biden killing oil and gas, DEI vulnerable to sudden collapse, catastrophic ESG lapses, and more. Impacts and risks of “realistic” global warming projections for the 21st century   " The obtained climate projections show that ...
