Pielke Jr. –A Takeover of the IPCC There’s an old saying in science: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The new IPCC, sadly, seems content to settle for extraordinary press releases. The public deserves better. It’s time to ask, loudly, whose interests are really being served by this shift—and to demand a return to genuine scientific skepticism before the last shreds of credibility are gone for good. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2025/08/23/pielke-jr-a-takeover-of-the-ipcc/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pielke-jr-a-takeover-of-the-ipcc

Trump Admin Kills Massive Offshore Wind Project “Americans deserve energy that is affordable, reliable, and built to last — not experimental and expensive wind projects that are proven failures,” DOI deputy press secretary Aubrie Spady told the DCNF. “In line with President Donald Trump’s Energy Dominance Agenda, Interior is putting an immediate stop to these costly failures to deliver a stronger energy future and lower costs for American families. Like President Trump said, ‘the days of stupidity are over in the USA!'” (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Trump Admin Unveils Massive Oil And Gas Lease Expansion Biden Tried To Squash) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2025/08/22/trump-admin-kills-massive-offshore-wind-project/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=trump-admin-kills-massive-offshore-wind-project

Rescinding the Endangerment Finding Was Overdue. But Where Do We Turn for Justice? It is not outrageous or even unreasonable to demand an accounting of the human toll exacted by the climate cult, both in the U.S. and globally. What price tag can be put on the economic casualties? What reparations are justifiable for the ruined lives? Who should be held accountable? Investigating those questions and compiling the answers would result in a real “endangerment finding.” https://wattsupwiththat.com/2025/08/20/rescinding-the-endangerment-finding-was-overdue-but-where-do-we-turn-for-justice/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rescinding-the-endangerment-finding-was-overdue-but-where-do-we-turn-for-justice

Why is Labour Paving Over Britain’s Arable Heartlands Without Consulting Local People? Scotland’s community-owned wind farms, like those on the Isle of Lewis, show a path forward, boosting local support for renewables by 30%. Labour could champion such models, aligning green goals with democratic values. Instead, the NSIP process sidelines rural Britain, raising a question: can Labour’s Net Zero vision coexist with the equitable society it claims to pursue? As solar farms spread, the stakes – food security, rural livelihoods, national resilience – demand scrutiny. In a world of global supply chain chaos, sacrificing fields for panels could leave Britain not just with barren lands but with empty plates and broken trust. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2025/08/16/why-is-labour-paving-over-britains-arable-heartlands-without-consulting-local-people/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=why-is-labour-paving-over-britains-arable-heartlands-without-consulting-local-people

BP Defies Ed Miliband to Reopen North Sea Oil Field The energy giant is reviving the Murlach field, which was declared uneconomic and taken out of use in 2004, has now become viable partly due to new technologies. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2025/08/10/bp-defies-ed-miliband-to-reopen-north-sea-oil-field/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bp-defies-ed-miliband-to-reopen-north-sea-oil-field

The Climate Cult Takes On “Resiliency” In Manhattan So they have spent $300 million for a project that will inevitably fail at its stated mission, while ruining what was previously a perfectly nice park. This is not really much different from spending hundreds of billions of dollars on an energy transition that can’t possibly work. Or, for that matter, from spending a trillion or so dollars per year on the project to cure poverty, without ever putting a dent into the poverty rate. https://wattsupwiththat.com/2025/08/09/the-climate-cult-takes-on-resiliency-in-manhattan/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-climate-cult-takes-on-resiliency-in-manhattan
