Warming of colder climes allows more food production

Steve Milloy | Monday, November 26, 2018 · 12:49 PM | Coal is life

“The price of climate” is… more food! This front-page Wall Street Journal story reports on the new corn fields in Alberta, Canada due to a warmer climate. Mild night time winter warming from an enhanced greenhouse effect is one positive aspect of CO2 from society using more fossil fuels and is an inherent part of CO2 theory going back to the 19th Century. More corn for a hungry world is good and not bad. It is a current and real benefit from CO2. But the Obama EPA endangerment finding claims there is a current negative effect. And check out data showing 5x increase in corn production worldwide since 1960 as population and fossil fuel use exploded — both of which are positive externalities from coal and fossil fuel use.

Coal kept Easterners affordably and reliably warm on Thanksgiving Day

Steve Milloy | Monday, November 26, 2018 · 11:48 AM | Electricity demand

Is a colder world better than a warmer world? The National Climate Assessment thinks so. But BURN MORE COAL doesn’t. And but for the coal plants on the East Coast, electricity wouldn’t have been available to keep people warm on Thanksgiving Day. Coal kept electricity rates stable even as natural prices soared and life went on in the bitter cold.

California utility managements should worry more about power line safety than imaginary climate change

Steve Milloy | Monday, November 26, 2018 · 11:20 AM | California

California Gov. Brown, the National Climate Assessment, and the Fake News media blame the California fires on “climate change.” This is all agenda driven for various reasons but the hard and tragic truth is human error/mismanagement and a lot of vegetation planted by humans in a hot, dry and windy state. So start with PG&E and then check out Gov. Brown’s inaction over his entire tenure. Also, take a look at 19th century pictures of the burned areas where there is almost no vegetation, starting with LA and surrounding areas. If we were PG&E management, we would pay more attention to the here and now of power line safety than the hypothetical future of “climate change.”

BURN MORE COAL co-founder comments in New York Times on National Climate Assessment

Steve Milloy | Monday, November 26, 2018 · 10:09 AM | Media, Science

BURN MORE COAL co-founder Steve Milloy makes three points in today’s New York Times: 1) The National Climate Assessment is irrelevant; 2) It is a product of the Deep State (not the Trump administration); and 3) Releasing it untouched but on Black Friday was an expediency.

We had to fix this for the carbon tax-loving Fake News media

Steve Milloy | Saturday, November 24, 2018 · 3:41 PM | CO2 tax

As the AP article eventually acknowledges: “Macron has so far held strong and insisted the fuel tax rises are a necessary pain to reduce France’s dependence on fossil fuels and fund renewable energy investments — a cornerstone of his reforms of the nation.” US utilities are banking on carbon taxes coming to the US to justify shuttering coal plants. BURN MORE COAL is on the case. Support our efforts!

Deep State issues alarmist climate report

Steve Milloy | Friday, November 23, 2018 · 7:38 PM | Science

The Fourth National Climate Assessment is the Deep State at its absolute worst. The narrative in the document is a vague, unsubstantiated warning of every sort of catastrophe in a warmer world. The graphics on warming are 100% ground-based readings that are assumed and assigned for a majority of the planet, including the oceans. They are tainted by the urban heat island effect — urbanization around historical temperature gauges — and completely ignore the best temperature record by far, satellite readings. Satellite readings are 100% corroborated by weather balloons and both show minimal warming since 1979. Also the assumptions are using fossil fuels is bad, not good, and that a colder world is better than a warmer world. All unsubstantiated, if not absurd. The Deep State will never be ashamed, but it should be.
