Here is an excerpt from President Obama’s remarks to the Young African Leaders Initiative in 2013. It will take decades to recover from the damage this President’s manipulative rhetoric and punitive policies did to our country and to the world:
“But the existential challenge that we face has to do with a warming planet. And your generation is the one that’s going to be the most severely affected. Now, the United States and other highly industrialized, developed countries over the last 50, 100 years have been pumping up carbon emissions into the atmosphere. And slowly, this has been building up and it is warming the planet, and we may be reaching a tipping point in which if we do not solve this problem soon, it will spin out of control and change weather patterns in ways that we can’t anticipate, with drought, floods, much more severe natural disasters. And unfortunately, in those situations it’s often poorer countries that are affected the most by these changing climate patterns.
So I just gave a speech this past week on what the United States is going to do on our next phase of reducing our carbon emissions. The United States actually reduced our carbon emissions more than any other country since I came into office. I just want to make that point. (Applause.) We doubled fuel-efficiency standards on cars. We’re investing in clean energy like solar and wind. And we actually want to share that technology, because we think that all countries need to benefit. And part of the opportunity for Africa is to see if we can leapfrog some of the polluting practices of America or Europe, and go straight to the clean energy strategies that will allow you to advance economic growth, but not corrupt the planet.”
Later, “Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has mentioned here in Africa, if everybody is raising living standards to the point where everybody has got a car and everybody has got air conditioning, and everybody has got a big house, well, the planet will boil over — unless we find new ways of producing energy.”
As a lawyer and professor, President Obama should have been able to discern that there was no body of evidence to reliably establish that emissions of CO2 had anything to do with the reported “warming” trend, or that rising concentrations of CO2 and the other IR-active trace gases should be expected to drive ANY trend of climate variables. Spectral properties, radiative transfer computations, and satellite observations of emission spectra are NOT evidence of cause-and-effect within the climate system.
On the contrary, dynamic energy conversion massively overwhelms the minor static effect. This was no secret in 2009 when the EPA issued its Endangerment Finding. Modern modeling of the general circulation – this included ERA-40 in the early 2000’s – demonstrates that the computed improvement in IR absorbing power is negligible – inconsequential – vanishingly weak – in the proper physical context of all the motion we experience as “weather” between the surface and space.

Thank you for listening.
“As a lawyer and professor, President Obama should have been able to discern that there was no body of evidence”
Lawyers, scientists and professor’s lie and mislead, hence we are in the current situation. Look at Mann and the others in this despicable parasitical farce.
Then the is the low intelligence factor to consider. Universities tech them what to think, not how to think.
You expect them to act in a responsible manner.
Look at the covid fiasco, and the death rate and injuries as a result of the vaccines.
If we were pumping carbon into the atmosphere it would probably block out some of the sun’s radiation reducing the temperature. It’s the molecule CO2 that’s supposed to be the problem. Whenever I read about carbon emissions I automatically ignore anything else they have to say because they are clearly an ignoramous. Obama condemns himself with his own words.
“It will take decades to recover from the damage this President’s manipulative rhetoric and punitive policies did to our country and to the world”
Obama is poison to the United States and the world.
I’m still holding out hope that Obama will be officially connected to the attempted overthrow of the U.S. government that Obama directed against Donald Trump, which may be ongoing.
Obama and the Democrats tried to turn this country into a one-party system with the Democrats in charge. And they are still at it. What’s Obama’s role now? Trump’s investigator will let us know. It’s not over Obama. Your traitorous actions need to be exposed to the American public and to the world.
No-good, traitorous bastard!
… hope that Obama will be officially connected to the attempted overthrow of the U.S.[A.]

Excerpts, from concluding & opening paragraphs. How to make ‘RICO’ great again.
Section 1512(c) is the new RICO*. It’s time to deploy it against lawfare, election illegality, and other nationwide conspiracies
*The Racketeer Influences and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly known as “RICO,” was passed by Congress in 1970 as part of that year’s Organized Crime Control Act. It was designed to reach not just the foot soldiers of organized crime organizations, but the crime bosses themselves.
Former FBI Director, James Comey, did not take it upon himself to attack Trump. He was doing it at the direction of Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
The whole Obama/Biden cabinet was involved in this attempted coup.
Traitorous bastards all!
I think it is a pretty sure bet that the DOJ is going to be charging Obama officials with an ongoing conspiracy to undermine the Constitution of the United States based on their ongoing attacks on Trump.

Liebreich: The Great Clean Energy Acceleration 2.0
Based on the Link’s own numbers, if this is a ‘Great Clean Energy Acceleration’, it’s an oddly selective one.
Global fossil use hasn’t fallen, gas demand still rose, China added 90 GW of new coal, and EVs cut only ~2 mb/d of oil demand out of 100+.
Even the author admits wind/solar growth is meeting new demand, not replacing existing fuels. Calling this a near‑term fossil peak looks more like narrative than numbers.
Europe’s Renewables Loosen Energy Stranglehold
Europe hasn’t ‘loosened the stranglehold’ when fossil fuels still supply over 70% of its total energy, gas demand remains high, and coal plants were restarted after 2022.
Wind and solar cut imports at the margin, but they haven’t replaced firm capacity or reduced overall fossil dependence.
Do try harder, MUR
The Threat of Unrest Is Decarbonizing the Global South
Unrest in the Global South is overwhelmingly tied to poverty, food insecurity and weak state capacity. not some spontaneous push toward decarbonisation.
Fossil use in developing countries is still rising, coal additions in Asia hit record levels, and renewables mostly meet new demand rather than replacing existing fuels.
To end poverty, the global south needs cheap, reliable energy. Not in your wildest dreams can wind nor solar provide that
Renewable energy is overtaking traditional power projects across Africa, industry leaders say
AP parroting industry spin again.
Lots of announced solar projects in Africa, but “overtaking” ignores massive execution gaps, chronic under-delivery, grid instability, and the quiet reality that coal/gas/hydro still provide the actual reliable power.
Wishful pipeline numbers vs. real electrification rates.

In Australia, I am trying to manage increased interest by others in what I do on my personal computer. I find it hard to keep programs running because vendors or others are asking for identification, security, not-a-bot checks, often requesting a password change. Then, if I do change a password, it is immediately met with ‘Invalid’ when I test it. I am now having problems uploading spreadsheets to popular AI chat sites, they say they are not appearing as csv or xlsx files.
Is this a global change or am I getting local interference or a virus attack? Geoff S
From what I have seen, many sites are taking security to new levels. That is a good thing. However, there are glitches that are frustrating. My latest pet peeve is CoPilot having problems providing visible graphs. It tells me it is there, but nothing ever shows. When re-prompted it says it is having trouble accessing software.
