Excellent comment. Thank you.

Thanks. This is "work in progress". It suggests that, had the subsidies and tax breaks bee granted to nat gas instead of renewables, nat gas would be free to households and companies.

The whole issue of electricity being free, and the suppliers “double dipping” as they are paid already by the “trust” funds, takes some seismic reevaluation of what we are required to pay for. Income tax and property taxes as well. None of it lawful for men and women acting in their private capacity. Council tax not applicable to non-commercial properties...etc.

Hi Peter,

My co-authors and I wrote the following correct observations about the Global Warming (aka “Climate” aka “CAGW”) and Green Energy scams in 2002:

1. “Climate science does not support the theory of catastrophic human-made global warming – the alleged warming crisis does not exist.”

2. “The ultimate agenda of pro-Kyoto advocates is to eliminate fossil fuels, but this would result in a catastrophic shortfall in global energy supply – the wasteful, inefficient energy solutions proposed by Kyoto advocates simply cannot replace fossil fuels.”

– by Sallie Baliunas (Astrophysicist, Harvard-Smithsonian), Tim Patterson (Paleoclimatologist, Carleton U), Allan MacRae (Professional Engineer, retired, Queen’s U, U of Alberta)

Nothing has changed in the intervening 20+ years since we published our article, except the huge costs of this global-scale fraud:

° - tens of trillions of dollars of scarce global resources have been squandered on “wasteful, inefficient” green energy scams;

° - hundreds of millions of lives have been wasted, especially in the “developing world”, by denying them access to fossil fuel energy;

° - most of our leaders, who are scientifically uneducated, have adopted the “Global Warming” and “Net Zero” falsehoods;

° - the same Climate fraudsters are now attacking our food supplies, again to allegedly fight fictitious Global Warming.

There never was any scientific or technical support for the Global Warming and Green Energy scams - it's always been a false propaganda campaign concocted by extremists for their own financial and political gain.

Best regards, Allan MacRae, Calgary

The Climate Scam was absolutely disproved in 1990 (Kuo et al, Nature), 2008 (MacRae, icecap.us), and Humlum et al (Science, 2013).

The renowned American intellectual Thomas Sowell recently stated:

"Temperatures went up first, and then there was the increase in CO2. You can't say that A causes B if B happens first... But [the scientists] who are pushing global warming are doing their damnedest to make sure that those who believe the opposite don't get heard in the public."

The Climate Scam is based on the false assumption that increasing atmospheric CO2 is causing dangerous Global Warming (aka the CAGW Hypothesis). However, the ice core record and the modern data record both prove that atmospheric CO2 changes LAG atmospheric temperature changes at all measured time scales. That is an absolute disproof of the false CAGW hypothesis, which assumes that the future is causing the past - 100% Impossible!

Green Energy like Wind and Solar is expensive, intermittent, and unreliable - and the grid requires the oppositie - cheap, reliable, abundant electricity. Fossil fuels provide ~85% of primary global energy, a figure that has not materially changed in decades despite tens ot trillions of wasted green energy subsidies.

Green energy always failed on two fronts:

1. Intermittency - the Wind does not blow and the Sun does no shine 24/7 - not rocket science!

2. Diffusivity - Wind and Solar energy generation takes up vastly more land - impractical and impossible!

We knew all this and published 20+ years ago, but the leftist juggernaut has rolled on, spreading their lies and convincing corrupt politicians and idiot members of the voting public to waste trillions and live with unaffordable energy costs.

We are governed by scoundrels and imbeciles.

More typos. Missing some “n”s. I can fix later? Have forwarded this on to my Idaho energy consultant. Thanks for the analysis.

I have corrected, hopefully all of them. Including some typo'ed numbers *national debt amended to 35 trillion rather than 24!).

Thanks for reading. Maybe the amended version is a better "send" to your consultant?

Weak, aging, eyesight and a reluctant "n" key are real pains!
