UN Climate Panel Quietly Admits Its Doomsday Climate Scenarios Were 'Implausible'
The IPCC has published a new generation of climate scenarios - and buried in the fine print is a remarkable concession: the extreme warming pathways that dominated climate research, policy, and media coverage for decades were never actually plausible. It took a while to notice because almost no one in mainstream media bothered to report it.
"The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has just published the next generation of climate scenarios," Science policy analyst Roger Pielke Jr. wrote, calling it "big news" that "eliminated the most extreme scenarios that have dominated climate research over much of the past several decades."
The conclusion was unambiguous. "The IPCC and broader research community has now admitted that the scenarios that have dominated climate research, assessment and policy during the past two cycles of the IPCC assessment process are implaus...

Rezession und Inflation: Der CO2-Gott fordert seinen Tribut (Tichys Einblick)
|

|
Vertraut man den demoskopischen Oberflächenbohrungen, so ist Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius derzeit angeblich der beliebteste deutsche Politiker. Dem Sozialdemokraten fliegen nicht nur Sympathien beim Wahlvolk zu, er wird zudem mit einem Wehretat in stratosphärischen Höhen von 108 Milliarden Euro beschenkt. Erklärt sich darin möglicherweise der verklärte Blick der Deutschen auf ihren Verteidigungsminister? Ein Politiker, der in

"Existential Fight For Survival": MSFT May Nuke Green Data Center Climate Pledge
One week ago, Microsoft expected roughly $190 billion in AI data center spending for this fiscal year, highlighting the massive scale of the hyperscaler capex cycle as Big Tech races to build out compute infrastructure. Across the tech space, hyperscalers are expected to spend nearly $700 billion in capex this year alone.
The incredible amount of capex being deployed this year has forced some tech giants to slash headcount and trim operating costs to free up capital for data centers. At the same time, Microsoft may now delay or abandon its ambitious 2030 "100/100/0" clean-energy target for data centers as costs continue to mount.
Bloomberg reports MSFT is set to nuke its pre-AI-era climate commitment, which aimed to match 100% of its electricity use, 100% of the time, with "green" energy by 2030, due to the mounting costs of going green.
MSFT wanted every hour of electricity used by i...

Wochenausblick Rohstoffe: EU ETS-Reform geht in die nächste Runde (SG)
|
|
|
Trotz der sich abzeichnenden höheren kostenlosen Zuteilungen als bislang erwartet bleibt der strukturelle Trend eines steigenden CO2-Preises bestehen. Die insgesamt verfügbare Zertifikatsmenge wird weiterhin durch die ambitionierten Klimaziele der EU reduziert. Allerdings dürfte die zusätzliche Zuteilung für einen weniger steilen Preisanstieg sorgen. Mittelfristig hängt die Preisentwicklung stark davon ab, wie schnell die Industrie auf emissionsärmere Technologien umstellt und sich dadurch die Nachfrage anpassen kann..

DOJ Sues Minnesota To Block Climate Lawsuit Targeting Energy Companies
Authored by Bill Pan via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is suing Minnesota over the state's own climate lawsuit against major energy companies.

The complaint, filed Monday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, accuses state officials of trying to impose their own climate policies on domestic energy producers in a way the DOJ says burdens national energy development and intrudes on federal authority.
The underlying lawsuit was filed in 2020 by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison against Exxon Mobil, the American Petroleum Institute, Koch Industries, and Koch subsidiary Flint Hills Resources. Minnesota brought the case under state consumer-protection laws, alleging that the companies engaged in fraud and deceptive busine...
