Tror dette blir bra. Det er i alles interesse å få fram hvor mikroskopiske effektene på klima er av disse utslippene, også scope 3. Ppm Celsius - opp eller ned. dn.no/olje/aker-bp/equinor/o…

IN 1877, EL NIÑO HELPED KILL TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. Read that again. The devastating 1876–1878 global famine crisis, associated in part with one of the strongest El Niño events ever reconstructed, is estimated by some researchers to have killed MORE THAN 50 MILLION PEOPLE. Drought. Starvation. Disease. Entire regions devastated. And this happened nearly 150 years ago, before SUVs, commercial aviation, coal-fired power plants on today's scale, or anything remotely resembling modern industrial energy consumption. Fast-forward to 2026. We're being warned about another potentially historic El Niño. But here's what the climate alarmists conveniently leave out: WE ARE NO LONGER LIVING IN 1877. We have diesel-powered agricultural machinery, fossil-fuel-derived fertilizers, refrigerated food distribution, irrigation, modern hospitals, global transportation networks, and reliable electricity. We can feed billions, transport food across oceans, purify drinking water, forecast severe weather, and keep people alive through conditions that once meant almost certain death. Why? CHEAP, ABUNDANT, RELIABLE ENERGY. The very energy that some activists want to make more expensive, restrict, or eliminate. And now we're supposed to believe that the energy systems responsible for so much of humanity's extraordinary progress are the enemy? El Niño was wreaking havoc long before modern industrialization. Fossil fuels didn't invent El Niño. It's a naturally occurring feature of the Pacific Ocean's climate system. Here's the inconvenient truth: Nature was killing people long before industrialization. Modern civilization has given us the tools to fight back. The next major El Niño could still cause enormous economic damage and human suffering. But there is every reason to expect its global death toll to be nowhere near the catastrophe of 1877–1878. Not because nature has become kinder. BECAUSE HUMANITY HAS BECOME WEALTHIER, MORE TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED, AND FAR BETTER PROTECTED. And much of that progress was made possible by fossil fuels. The ultimate irony? Some of the people most terrified of natural climate variability are campaigning against the very energy infrastructure that makes us resilient to it. You literally couldn't make this stuff up. Stop demonizing the energy that helped liberate humanity from nature's worst consequences. Human flourishing requires energy. Energy poverty kills.

The Iran war, backed by Reform and the Tories, has made life so much more expensive for working British families. Restore Britain said no.

I dag kunne Stortinget vedtatt en stopp i all datasenterutbygging (i påvente av en plan for hvor mange datasenter vi trenger). Men slik blir det ikke, fordi Frp stemmer mot det og for fortsatt tut og kjør for nye datasenter. Aldri stol på Frp i kraftpolitikken!
