"The NIF creates temperatures of more than 180 million degrees Fahrenheit, with pressures surpassing 100 billion Earth atmospheres. It's heavy. And these wildly hot and heavy conditions force hydrogen atoms within the target to undergo fusion, releasing tremendous amounts of energy in a controlled reaction called thermonuclear fusion."
"Previously, the GCP data showed global CO2 emissions increasing by an average of 1.4 GtCO2 per year between 2011 and 2019 – prior to Covid-related emissions declines. The new revised dataset shows that global CO2 emissions were essentially flat – increasing by only 0.1GtCO2 per year from 2011 and 2019. When 2020 and 2021 are included, the new GCP data actually shows slightly declining global emissions over the past decade, though this should be treated with caution due to the temporary nature of Covid-related declines."
"First, the sums involved aren’t that large when properly scaled. As Mr. Moynihan says more than once: 'It’s not that much money.' Second, while government action is key, the private sector through its own commitments to net zero can create the revenue streams needed to mobilize capital."
"The development required for net-zero carbon is increasingly meeting local resistance on the ground, including from people who identify as environmentalist."
"We must declare the Chinese Communist Party Climate Enemy No. 1. As sea levels continue to rise and heat waves ravage the developed and developing world alike, we simply cannot afford to wait for an authoritarian communist regime to wake up and realize its moral obligation to act."
"Mr. Curtis is among a handful of Republicans here working to persuade skeptics that climate change isn’t just a one-party issue. Others include Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R., Texas) and Rep. Garret Graves (R., La.), Republican leader of the House Select Climate Committee."
"Enough. We need to snap out of the environmentalists’ superstitious, 'if it isn’t hurting, it isn’t working' hair-shirtery. We should aim to get richer and greener at the same time. That’s the magic of the market."
As prepared for delivery by The Rt. Hon. Dr. Liam Fox MP Member of Parliament, UK at the Climate & Freedom Symposium 2021 sponsored by C3 Solutions (Conservative Coalition for Climate Solutions) BEGINS: For those of us who cut our political teeth in the Thatcher/Reagan era, today’s politics can be disorientating. Instead of the cool...
"Hopefully, President Biden will not simply rubber-stamp the U.N.’s initiatives. Instead of high-cost regulatory schemes, he needs to remind the world that America is the single greatest creative force in history—and its ingenuity will be the sole determinative factor in winning the climate battle."
"A team of researchers from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Harvard University believes that the plastic amassing in floating islands in the oceans could be used to power the ships that are sent to clean them up. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group describes how ocean plastics could be converted to ship fuel."
