Climate change: July set to be world's warmest month on record
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in The Green Forum
Actually global weather is changing not just local, which recent reports of record low temperatures are you referring to? If you come up with those links do you think it could be as a result of warming temperatures disrupting the polar vortex? -

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Great news, one more wanted war criminal meets his fate and according to some reports it was due to Russian air defense missiles. A post by Grey Zone, a Wagner-connected social media channel, claimed Russian anti-aircraft defences had shot down the plane. It said that residents heard “two bursts of characteristic air defence fire” before the crash. “This is confirmed by inversion traces in the sky in one of the videos,” it added. Mash, a news outlet on social media app Telegram, said locals had heard two loud bangs before the crash. https://www.ft.com/content/812c9da3-80f2-4fe1-8fad-0b4441d1977a https://archive.ph/31e8g -

No its doesn't work for everyone, Africa is huge and millions live off live grid in rural areas, solar is the way. Solar power is the only answer to light up rural Africa -

This is about long term planning, from your first link where you had the heading, "Unfortunately your energy bills will be unaffordable." It also states this: Is Renewable Energy Cheaper in the Long-run? New research shows that, in the long-run, renewable energy is more cost effective than non-renewable energy. Company Lazard considered costs over the lifespan of energy projects and found wind and utility-scale solar can be the least expensive energy generating sources. As of 2017, the cost (before tax credits that would further drop the costs) of wind power was $30-60 per megawatt-hour (a measure of energy). Large-scale solar costs are $43-53/MWh. For comparison: energy from the most efficient type of natural gas plants costs $42-78/MWh. Coal power costs at least $60/MWh. Its already in motion anyway. South Africa's agreed plan: Reducing greenhouse gas emissions is in line with the government’s goal to transition South Africa toward a low-carbon, resilient economy and society by 2050, as outlined in the Just Transition Framework for South Africa, championed by the Presidential Climate Change Commission (PCC) and endorsed by the cabinet in August 2022. In addition, according to the IRP 2019, by 2030, South Africa plans to retire 12 GW of coal plants and add 18 GW of new wind and solar PV to meet energy needs. While the framework is relevant across all of South Africa’s policy development, it should play a critical role in guiding the implementation of the historic Just Energy Transition Partnership (JET-P) that was announced at COP26 in November 2021, in which five developed countries (France, Germany, the U.K., the U.S. and the E.U.) agreed to channel $8.5 billon to support a just and equitable transition in South Africa. -

Read the article, I watched about 2 mins the video, that was enough for me, not the type of humour I like and no I didn't know about her, never heard of her before, what's that got to do with my post you just responded to. -

Where do you think developing countries get their funds from? The World Bank. Factsheet: Eskom Just Energy Transition Project in South Africa The Eskom Just Energy Transition Project (EJETP) is a $497 million project approved by the World Bank Group in November 2022 at the request of the Government of South Africa. It will support its public energy utility, Eskom, to decommission the 56-year-old Komati coal-fired power plant, repurpose the project area with renewable energy and batteries, and create opportunities for workers and communities. If successful, the project could provide a blueprint for a just energy transition in South Africa and beyond. And also those countries that stop providing for coal plants they instead provide for renewables. "By bringing together richer donor countries with poorer nations that receive international financial support, the COP26 deal aims to build a consensus among nations to stop backing polluting projects and instead support clean energy both to curb emissions and to avoid building stranded assets." -

For those unknown to us and who didn't affect our lives I agree entirely. Its just plain respect. This seems a bit odd. an 80 year old who died of malnutrition had no family support or community concern. I would say they deserve real sympathy and disgust along with RIP -

No its not that. For instance South Africa relies on coal fired plants heavily, however most are old and not functioning well. Even now there is not enough to keep the lights on. Replacing them with renewable solutions require less than 2-year build time (coal requires 10-12 years). -

Your claim: You can't remember me asking numerous times? You can't recall me beating you over the head about not answering? You think I'm going to believe that you can't remember me asking? So you didn't ask me directly numerous times, as I thought. Now back to the topic at hand which is something you'd rather avoid I know. Guess what I'm waiting from and have asked you directly for? If you want to debate, link to credible peer reviewed studies from climate scientists that have sources attached and I'll be more than happy to do so. Still waiting for some credible peer reviewed scientific studies if you want to debate. And all you have is belief and prayer since you have no credible sources that you've posted, at least not yet, still waiting. -

That was a quote from NASA what do you find so amusing about it? It’s important to remember that scientists always focus on the evidence, not on opinions. https://climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus/ -
