While everyone is looking the other way, notably at Trump and Twitter, President Trump has announced plans to make the United States a global energy powerhouse. He has already taken steps toward unleashing domestic energy supplies, but he announced six more steps that he plans to take: reviving nuclear energy, removing barriers to building coal plants overseas, building more energy pipelines including one into Mexico, increasing exports of natural gas and creating a new offshore-leasing program.
Turkey threatens not to ratify the Paris Climate Accord. Turkey’s President Recep Erdogan admits the only reason for signing was to get money from the U.S. and other wealthy nations. Now that the U.S. has pulled out of the accord, there’s no reason to expect the financial benefits. Proving once again that the Paris Climate Treaty (which we never signed) had nothing to do with climate, but only with redistributing economic wealth.
New York magazine has an article by one David Wallace-Wells titled “The Uninhabitable Earth,” subtitled “Famine, economic collapse, a sun that cooks us: What climate change could wreak—sooner than you think.”
Yale Poll finds: 4 in 10 Americans (39%) think ‘global warming will cause humans to become extinct.

President Trump demanded and obtained a clear statement of the U.S. rejection of the Paris Climate Agreement and just as important, a statement recognizing the appropriate role of efficient use of fossil fuels as an energy resource for the future.
July o9, 2017: It was just reported that Greenland set a new all-time July cold record, where the mercury plummeted to -33ºC.

Here is the unbelievable propaganda that was shown at the opening of the Copenhagen climate extravaganza, aimed at the true-believers. I find it thoroughly disgusting. More ecological porn, making use of little children. Save the world, indeed!
ClimateGate is to be brushed aside. Nothing to see here, just move along. The Greens have far too much invested in their efforts to control the world, and they aren’t going to let little things like science and accuracy get in the way.
Anthony Watts has a new post up by Willis Eschenbach, on Australian data:
People keep saying “Yes, the Climategate scientists behaved badly. But that doesn’t mean the data is bad. That doesn’t mean the earth is not warming.”
This is becoming as fascinating as a good thriller. It is the data that IS bad. And it is bad because it was deliberately made so. Lots of adjusting, homogenizing, nudging. If they can maintain an atmosphere of fear of catastrophic warming, then grants will flow, people will think that climate science is something special, salaries will increase, prestige, glory. One might become famous, win a Nobel. Of course we must save the earth. Where is Mitch Rapp when you really need him?
Information technology people who have looked at the code from CRU and understand what they are looking at (not me!) are astounded by the poor quality of the code, lack of professionalism, and sloppiness of the code.
It all seems to be spinning out of control. Copenhagen: 140 private jets, 1,200 limousines, ecological porn, free prostitutes and lots of caviar.
