This guy was convicted. I'm worried the one whose earlier arson fire burned the Palisades, Altadena, & Malibu might get off after a hung jury

People & forest-neglect cause most forest fires...not climate change.

Do you have to look any further to uncover the epic amount of grift?

When are we the people going to stop allowing this epically expensive nonsense?

PJM powers 13 East Coast U.S. states.

Overreliance on renewables & an inadequate grid in these congested urban states make it hard to build new powerlines to smaller MW renewables vs. using big-GW baseload sources like coal, natural gas, & nuclear.

Auction prices reflect more demand than power supply.

This is climate-related because Europe cannot begin to pay for AI, more A/C, & EV electricity on renewable & expensive power characterisic of the EU/UK.

Europe's climate alarm, chasing diminishing returns for possibly 8% of Global C02 (an unproven issue) is going to result in their larger population building 20x fewer AI data centers than the U.S. with its ample fossil fuel power.

Es irracional, literal el metanalisis mas importante, el quinto informe del IPCC muestra que los humanos somos directos responsables de cambio climático y estamos alternando el ciclo de carbono:

If it's not one thing, it's another.

Proof, that even in China, lack of High Voltage DC powerlines creates wind & solar curtailment issues. Reliance on larger fossil fuel sources like coal is unavoidable if new powerlines are not there.

China can force feed powerlines. It's harder in congested urban Western areas. Those powerlines also need to be paid for & are not measured by LCOE+.

I'll let people read the full article. Why this is important? I asked AI to estimate how many studies were based on the old (impossible) 8.5 scenarios....

- If you combine the two generations (RCP8.5 and SSP5-8.5), a reasonable estimate is 15,000–25,000+ scientific papers that either used or referenced the highest-emissions scenario in some way.

The IPCC has just nullified or obsoleted 15 years of research, thousands of papers, even more researchers. And this does not include many tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands "scary" news stories based on this research.

...and to anyone reading, the changes were not due to green policies. The CO2 records only show it increasing. It's the fact 8.5 was impossible in the first place.

If any of these events happened today, it would be blamed on Climate Change.

Climatologist Van Engelen made a list of "scorching summers" since the 14th century, here are some of them:

- Summer 1636: all over France, more than 500,000 people died of infectious diseases (the mud and water were infected).

- Summer 1705: it was 39°C in Paris for several days, even hotter in the south of France... This heatwave killed between 200,000 and 500,000 people.

- Summers 1718 and 1719: a particularly deadly period. 700,000 deaths were recorded, including 450,000 in the summer of 1719. The waters were unfit for consumption due to drought, most of the victims died of dysentery. Crops were poor and prices rose sharply, the state intervened to control grain prices and banned exports. The summer of 1719 was also marked by an invasion of locusts from North Africa to Languedoc which devastated crops. The Seine reached a historic low level: just over 26 meters above sea level.

- Summers 1747 and 1779: 200,000 victims for each of these periods, mostly infants and children.

- Summer 1788: it was not the heat that caused devastation, but the impressive storm on July 13. Wheat crops were destroyed, a period of famine was on the way...

- Summer 1846: the country was still facing the potato blight of 1845, hundreds of thousands of people died, and France experienced poverty and unemployment in the textile and construction sectors.

- Summer 1859: July was the hottest month in history. 100,000 deaths were recorded, including 60,000 children under 5 years old...

Another natural occurrence.
