Merry Christmas to all!

Wishing everybody continued appreciation of the best weather/climate, CO2 and growing season conditions on this greening planet for most life in the last 1,000 years in 2024!

Evidently we must hunt a lot of owls to save a very few:

Admittedly late with my best wishes to everyone for a joyous and uplifting Christmas Holiday; and a little gift/suggestion for the New Year.

Avoid burning lithium batteries whenever possible.

I recently came across (in “Vitality Quebec” Nov/Dec 2023 #268) an outline for averting global ecological disaster which doesn’t contain the words “climate change” nor “global warming”. Furthermore, it dismisses EVs as a solution to resource-squandering transportation.

OTOH, it is dated (2014), and unrealistically optimistic about wind and solar. I’m not well-equipped to assess its other technical demerits/merits, and so would like to submit it to the better trained skeptics at WUWT for review, hoping also that someone may have news of a more up to date and/or technically persuasive report on the same subject. But I would be happy just to have some serious., and prefereably knowledgeable, critiques of the data, methodology and reasoning presented by this report.

The report is called:

“Eight Tons of Material Footprint—Suggestion for a Resource Cap for Household Consumption in Finland”

and it can be downloaded freely at:

NB: it is tagged as being “founded” [sic] by The Government of Russia.
