Heliogenic Climate Change: Hansen does his Venus thing -- again
Hey, Jimbo, chill. Runaway warming only happens in climate models. In the real world negative feedbacks rule.
Japan’s First "Solar Powered" Cargo Ship is 99.8% free of solar power
Although it’s being billed as Japan’s first solar powered cargo ship the amount of renewable energy onboard is so small that I frankly find it laughable. Although the Auriga Leader, a freighter capable of carrying 6,400 automobiles, does have 328 solar panels on board they produce only 40 kilowatts of power, a figure which is a mere 0.2% of the ships overall energy usage. Here are some more details

Nitrogen emerges as the latest alleged climate-change threat - Your life - Belleville News Democrat
WASHINGTON — Scientists are raising alarms about yet another threat to Earth's climate and human well-being. This time it's nitrogen, a common element essential to all life.

For years, people have been bombarded with warnings about the harmful effects of carbon — especially in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas widely blamed for global warming.

Now, it's becoming clear that human activities, such as driving cars and raising crops, also are boosting nitrogen to dangerous levels — polluting air and water and damaging human health.

Pure nitrogen is a colorless, odorless gas and the largest single component of Earth's atmosphere. Every breath you take is almost 80 percent nitrogen.
Quick, where can I buy a large number of completely fraudulent nitrogen offsets?
