Pollack : The Cost of Electricity and CO2 Emissions in the Presence of Sun and Wind Generation
Advocates of non-conventional renewable energies (NCRE or renewables) claim that, by increasing electricity generation from these sources in replacement of fossil fuel-based generation, electricity prices must drop since the investment costs of these technologies have sharply dropped over the last decade and because the fuel cost of sun and wind generation is zero. Likewise, CO2…

Nikolov et al. : Toward a New Theoretical Paradigm of Climate Science
The IPCC climate models have repeatedly shown lack of skill in reproducing observed global and regional features of Earth’s climate for the past 4 decades. These include inability to predict global patterns of warming since 1980. Thus, the IPCC models project higher rates of warming in the tropics than at the Poles and similar warming…
