We could kick the "science" of global warming back and forth for ever, or at least until we are all toast or shivering in another ice age. However, some time before either of these catastrophes occurs I would urge you to explore Morningstar's series, which in my view brilliantly and surgically (scientifically, I am tempted to say) unravels the complex narrative of how the climate change movement has been hijacked, by whom and for what nefarious purpose. I suspect it will be as much as an eyeopener for you as it was for me. A morningstar is a medieval weapon similar to a mace, used as a flail. Much like the experience I am getting on this thread. Meantime, don't buy any real estate in Bangkok. A city only 1 metre above sea level doesn't strike me as a good long-term investment. Bet the financial advisers are not saying that.

Until they invent something that can turn sand, sea water and BS into non-polluting and 100% recyclable energy for the burgeoning masses, stuff still needs to be dug from the earth or pumped to the surface by diesel-burning equipment, converted using electricity from coal-burning power plants and molded into gigantic bits of metal or reinforced man-made materials that are not bio-degradable. Here's a fair and balanced, well-researched and unbiased assessment of the smoke and mirrors game that the less than altruistic 'save the planet' club member is touting. You know, the ones with huge vested commercial interests and a fat bank account that they want to get fatter, be it a government, corporate entity or private individual. https://www.wsj.com/articles/if-you-want-renewable-energy-get-ready-to-dig-11565045328 "Engineers joke about discovering “unobtanium,” a magical energy-producing element that appears out of nowhere, requires no land, weighs nothing, and emits nothing. Absent the realization of that impossible dream, hydrocarbons remain a far better alternative than today’s green dreams." If one is to be truly serious about saving the environment, one has to commit to begin somewhere and not just parrot the knee-jerk stress monkeys with their vague science and questionable reasoning. However, in their mad rush to blame everything on fossil fuels and tout totally unsustainable and mostly incompatible alternatives, the mass hysteria of the stop CO2 emission band of deluded finger-pointers don't appreciate that for the time being, fossil fuels are a still much needed stepping stone to this carbon-neutral nirvana. Until we get there, your car wont run without it and your fridge won't keep your beer cold either. https://www.rystadenergy.com/newsevents/news/press-releases/big-ep-spending-still-needed-but-fields-with-break-even-above-$60-are-priced-out/ "Energy projects that need oil prices above $60 per barrel in order to break even risk being uncommercial going forward, according to Rystad Energy. However, massive investments in exploration and sanctioning are still needed to meet growing global demand." "...someone of your background..." Spare us your pontifical posturing. Next you'll have us believing you've signed up to the Extinction Rebellion. BTW, when I'm not out raping mother earth, I ride a push bike, grow rice, recycle poop and vote Green. Now what's your raison d'être? Oh dear, rational discussion being subsumed by pejoratives. You've already stated you were part of the fossil fuel industry, so what's wrong with me taking that into account? In case it has escaped your notice, renewable energy in Australia is killing the gold-plated energy networks, and they are squealing like stuck pigs. Not enough profit, despite the best attempts of governments to prop them up. I dare say in my working career I contributed far more to advancing knowledge than you have. As for recycling poop, anyone can have a bog in a rice field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check that you want to use energy from green sources you can. At that point the electric company will simply raise your bill and that's that. It will still come from the same pole and the same line. However if you strongly support clean energy you as a consumer can choose to do so.

For crying out loud, can't you tell the difference between the Fahrenheit and Centigrade temperature scale? That 1906 110F reading is a comparatively mild 43 degrees C.

You think Obama or his heirs won't have sold off the seaside property before 2100? At a handsome profit? It's called kicking the can down the road. The dismal science has a central assumption economic growth can go on indefinitely. It's the mantra of all politicians. Logical nonsense, because it is only recently the environmental and social costs of economic growth have started to be taken into account. The barges that trundle New York's waste out into the Atlantic will only stop when the sea starts to stink - or maybe not even then. Take a look at what mass tourism has done to Halong Bay.

Broken Hill and Alice Springs are more appropriate sites for measurements. Has it occurred to you the single reading quoted in 1906 may itself be in error due to a thermometer being placed in the sun for journalistic licence? Or that multiple, statistically significant readings in this century may be more precise and accurate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
