And more evidence from all sides that massively expanding the grid is a fantasy. We also note that as recently as 2005 the History Channel could do a special on the Little Ice Age but not today, the Canadian government caught fibbing on its carbon tax, hits about the real cost of that vast subsidy to a Volkswagen battery plant, plus the Canadian government trying silently to strangle the oil and gas industry which seems willing to go quietly, spring not really being bad, the politicization of popular science, Californian authorities being surprise by rain, the Rutgers Snow Lab, the IPCC's increasing unreliability, and from the CO2Science.org archive an apparent increase in hurricanes that's just better observation.To support the Climate Discussion Nexus, subscribe to our YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_egd..., our Rumble channel (https://rumble.com/user/ClimateDN), our newsletter (at http://www.climatediscussionnexus.com/) like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and Gettr, and make a monthly or one-time pledge at http://www.climatediscussionnexus.com...
