    "Climate change" is another excuse to try and force other people to live their life like some woke lunatics think they should live it.

    Piers Morgan might have been bragging about the number of viewers his new talkTV show opened with recently, but things aren’t looking so great for the new channel overall.

    In fact, a new report has shown that Rupert Murdoch’s talkTV has been rated as having “zero viewers” during certain points during primetime broadcasts.

    As the Guardian reports, political show The News Desk hosted by Tom Newton Dunn did not manage any official viewers for half of its broadcast on Tuesday evening.


    While it doesn’t mean that no-one at all was watching, it means that the audience was so small it didn’t register with the Broadcasters’ Audience Research Board, which is the official rating agency.

    Morgan’s flagship show, Piers Morgan Uncensored, is also experiencing a big drop off in numbers.

    While the presenter bragged about having an average of 317,000 viewers on its launch night, the average a week later was down by 80 per cent to 62,000.

    The show began with an interview with former US President Donald Trump, and now even Trump has hit out at the show’s viewing figures.

    Clear, concise statement.

    And conservationists are opposed to that. So what's your point here?

    prioritizing unreliable sources of energy like wind/solar is a net negative for the environment and humanity

    That's why we've developed and are rapidly improving batteries.

    It takes a few years to grow new trees and those new trees store carbon now. The carbon in coal was captured tens of millions of years ago and it takes millions of years to make coal.

    based on what analysis can you say its a "net negative"

    That makes no sense whatsoever.

    The US has had a natural gas baseload boom the last decade and those power plants aren't going away soon. Biden approved a few billion to make the US's current, aging nuclear fleet more competitive.

    The US isn't Europe.

    Global Electricity Mid-Year Insights 2022 | Ember (ember-climate.org)

    This report gives mid-year insights into the global electricity transition.

    It analyses electricity data from 75 countries representing 90% of global electricity demand and includes projections for changes in the remaining countries. It compares the first six months of 2022 (H1-2022) to the same period in 2021 (H1-2021) to show how the electricity transition has progressed.

    The world is in the middle of an energy crisis. With all the headlines, it might have been expected that coal and gas use would have increased in 2022. But that is not what happened, at least in the electricity sector. In fact, in the first half of 2022, renewables met all the growth in global electricity demand, halting the rise in fossil fuels.

    Renewables met all growth in global electricity demand
    Global electricity demand rose 3% in the first half of 2022 compared to the same period last year; this was in line with the historic average. Wind and solar met 77% of this demand growth, and hydro more than met the remainder. In China, the rise in wind and solar generation met 92% of its electricity demand rise; in the US it was 81%, while in India it was 23%.

    And that's what environmentalists are saying. They are against what this company is doing. I am not sure who you are critiquing here.
