Rob Plant + 2,756 RP August 1, 2023 UK defies climate warnings with new oil and gas licences https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-63163824 Happy with this as the UK needs to develop more of ite resources not just renewables, especially NG which we currently import about 50%. However the driver for this isnt so much domestic energy security but more to do with making money to pay for the pandemic costs and massive holes in the UK budget spending on the NHS, social care, transport, as well as large public service pay increases.

Global Floating Oil Storage Hits Highest Level Since October 2020 By Charles Kennedy - Jun 26, 2023, 8:31 AM CDT The volume of floating oil storage has jumped to the highest level in more than two and a half years. There were 129 million barrels of crude oil on stationary tankers as of the end of last week. While the volume of crude oil in floating storage has been rising, the total volume of crude in transit has been falling. Cheap Russian oil helped China accelerate the pace of stockpiling crude in June to the largest monthly additions to inventories in three years, according to estimates by Reuters columnist Clyde Russell based on official Chinese data. In June, China is estimated to have added 2.1 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil to either its commercial or strategic reserves, up from 1.77 million bpd added to inventories in May, per Russell’s calculations. China does not report commercial or strategic inventories, so analysts are trying to estimate the volume of stockpiling by deducting the amount of processed crude from all available crude coming from imports and domestic crude production. In June, 2.1 million bpd of all available crude supply wasn’t processed by refiners, so it likely went to further fill China’s crude reserves, according to Reuters’ Russell.

"In Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law in early May that barred state and local officials from investing public money to promote ESG goals and prohibited municipalities from selling ESG bonds. “We do not want them engaged on these ideological joyrides,” DeSantis reportedly said at the time. Analysts expect the outcome of next year’s U.S. presidential election to determine whether the political backlash against ESG will have a deep and lasting effect." https://www.eiu.com/n/anti-esg-sentiment-in-the-us-weakens-esg-markets/ "Anti-ESG sentiment has been rising in the US, owing to a pushback against it in Republican states. This is likely to dent the rebound in sustainable finance in the US. The outcome of the 2024 election will determine if the pushback will have a deep, lasting effect. Although several states have pulled out their assets from Blackrock, the fund manager’s state assets of Texas and Florida make up a small amount of its total assets under management. Municipal bond underwriters have also been in the centre of the anti-ESG backlash. Data from the first quarter of 2023 shows that ESG bond issuance in the US dropped considerably compared to the first quarter of 2022. Republican states such as Texas and Florida have been paying out higher yields after banning municipal bond underwriters such as JPMorgan and Citibank. This is likely to increase the tax burden in these states, given that they also have huge debts. If the backlash persists, it may even cause a downgrade in the states’ debt ratings."

You heard it here, oil demand is voracious and will result in higher oil prices going forward. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Will-Oil-Prices-Hit-100-By-Years-End.html "OPEC's reduced oil production, driven by Saudi Arabia's voluntary cuts and a suspension at Nigeria's Forcados terminal, has resulted in rising oil prices, with Brent exceeding $85 per barrel and WTI nearing $82 per barrel. While Saudi Arabia needs oil at $90 per barrel to support its ambitious Vision 2030, high prices could undermine demand and trigger a boomerang effect unwanted by OPEC members. Strong global oil demand, particularly from China, coupled with reports of decreasing crude oil inventories worldwide, suggest that oil prices could reach $100 per barrel before year's end."

If supply fell at the same level then there is zero increase in demand! “Chinese crude buying has been opportunistic rather than due to higher demand.

The world will see a record-high demand for oil this year, Exxon’s top executive told CNBC on Friday. Global oil demand reached a record high of 102.8 million bpd in July, Goldman Sachs analysts wrote in a note on Sunday. The Wall Street bank expects the robust demand to lead to a wider-than-expected deficit of as much as 1.8 million bpd in the second half of 2023 and to 600,000 bpd deficit in 2024.

The increasing absence of human-caused air pollution in the Northern Hemisphere, estimated to be a 50-percent drop in concentration from 1980 to 2020, has led to surface warming over the tropical Atlantic Ocean, which contributes to more frequent tropical cyclones. Without significant amounts of particulate pollution to reflect sunlight, the ocean absorbs more heat and warms faster. A warming Atlantic Ocean has been a key ingredient to a 33-percent increase in the number of tropical cyclones during this 40-year period, Murakami said. The decrease in pollution has also led to a warming of the mid- and high-latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. This warming of land and ocean is causing the steady poleward movement of the jet stream from the tropics toward the Arctic."

Do these idiots believe everyone is dumb and does not know which direction the wind blows? That dust comes from Africa over the tropical Atlantic... Here is from one of the the articles above quoted, indicating that reduced air pollution levels due to stricter rules in North America and Europe can potentially explain most of the observed temperature change in recent decades. In other words, CO2 has an even more minute impact on temperature change, something which the standard climate alarmists have failed to take into consideration. We’re changing the clouds.’ An unforeseen test of geoengineering is fueling record ocean warmth Pollution cuts have diminished “ship track” clouds, addinghttps://www.science.org/content/article/changing-clouds-unforeseen-test-geoengineering-fueling-record-ocean-warmth "In more recent work, they take this analysis a step further, calculating the amount of cooling associated with the tracks’ brightening effect and the way the pollution extended the lifetime of the clouds. IMO rules have warmed the planet by 0.1 watts per square meter—double the warming caused by changes to clouds by airplanes, they conclude in a paper under review. The impact is magnified in regions of heavy shipping, like the north Atlantic, where the disappearing clouds are “shock to the system,” Yuan says. The increase in light, which was worsened by a lack of reflective Saharan dust over the ocean this year, “can account for most of the warming observed” in the Atlantic this summer, he says."
