Popular Post Lacessit Posted December 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2020 What I find bewildering is denialists describing Thunberg as brainwashed. If she is, it's with facts and evidence. OTOH, the same denialists probably send their children off to religious instruction to be brainwashed into believing in an entity they can't see, feel or hear. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would the little female Yaba explain Mars heating up? You don't think that the sun's activity is intensively monitored already? As for Mars: However, climate change on Mars is mostly determined by changes in the tilt and shape of its orbit and the only reliable evidence merely indicates that Mars ended its most recent ice age about 400,000 years ago. Although some studies in the 2000s purportedly showed evidence of climate change on Mars, these were shown to be either localised effects due to Martian ‘weather’ and dust storms rather than ‘climate’. The most recent studies show that there have been no significant changes in the average Martian temperature since at least the time of the Viking landers in the 1970s. So there is no evidence that Mars is actually heating up at all.

Lacessit Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 While the politicians are dithering about what to do, there are a few straws in the wind that say others are adapting regardless. Item: Most seaboard cities and towns have contingency plans for a black swan event w.r.to climate change, such as a sudden rise in sea level. Item: Investment in renewable energy is accelerating. OTOH, there is not a bank in the world now that will advance a loan to fund a new coal mine. Item: Insurance companies are increasing premiums to businesses and properties vulnerable to climate change. Item: Most automotive companies are moving into electric vehicle production over the internal combustion engine. Item: The uptake of solar panels on rooftops in Australia has grid suppliers weeping and gnashing their teeth. Everyone likes free electricity. Item: Even some governments are getting in on the act, California is mandating electric vehicles by 2035. These organisations are following the science.

Popular Post Donga Posted December 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2020 1 hour ago, Donga said: Four year old article, before the limitations of solar and wind dawned and the Europeans have increased Russian gas supply and made US wood chips the fastest energy source - where's the outrage? So until battery storage becomes real, what do we use if not living in a geothermal or hydro landscape? Why can't folk understand that a power resource, which is available less than 70% of the time, needs reliable back-up energy? Amazing. Pls provide references to any of these large battery storage banks that will provide back-up power for days.. They are being used to stabilise the grid from the surges created by renewables, which I love by the way. Got 20 solar panels and know their limitations. You're talking small %s of renewables. 20% for wind eh - all the time? And when it's not windy? And the solar when its dark or rainy, what is the backup? In UK it's gas and nuclear which makes sense for the time being. Burning US imported wood chips does not at all and it's a disgrace. https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2019/3/4/18216045/renewable-energy-wood-pellets-biomass Placeholder you replied:Please. Stop making things up. Please tell me one thing from my post that I made up lol. Can't be the Gates interview, or Vox expose on how Europe is burning US wood chips (how's that for energy efficiency - pulverise, freight, ship, freight, burn) to meet it's renewable targets. Btw, those 5 hour storage batteries from Bill Gates R&D, is helpful but won't cut it for rainy weeks at all. And that's what Bill's getting at in the interview, the challenge of dealing with intermittent renewables. After five hours, all those 200,000 households will just switch back to the gas and nuke based grid (and more of those wood chips), which is fine (except for the wood chips), but keep it real. Did I make up the increased Russian gas supply? https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/energy/why-the-world-worries-about-russias-natural-gas-pipeline/2020/09/07/59e10c1e-f0f9-11ea-8025-5d3489768ac8_story.html If it's sunshine hours being less than 30%, just search it. For example the average for Birmingham, London and Manchester is 1400 hours per year... out of 8760. 16% - good that. Here's a list of European cities and very few reach 30% sunshine hours per year... https://www.currentresults.com/Weather/Europe/Cities/sunshine-annual-average.php You've got me stumped, please advise what I made up. And if you're able, would love to know why Greta and the righteous activists, along with most media outlets, ignore those confounded woodchips... as well as the emission cleanliness, reliability and safety record of nuclear energy. Believe it's now 2 people may have died from Fukushima radiation - source is the WHO so you can do that one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does that mean "AND all is not as you are being told" Sounds like more conspiracy thinking. And the bigger point is that Morner's assertions have been refuted by technology. Global Mean Sea Level - Graph Laboratory for Satellite Altimetry / Sea Level Rise Local measurements of sea level change reflect any vertical motion of the land: if land sinks, sea level rises. Conversely, if land moves up, sea level appears to be going down. To remove the motion of land from sea level measurements, sea level is measured by instruments on satelltes. https://www.climate.gov/maps-data/dataset/global-mean-sea-level-graph https://www.pnas.org/content/115/9/2022 https://sealevel.nasa.gov/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/satellite-snafu-masked-true-sea-level-rise-for-decades/ https://www.nature.com/news/global-fingerprints-of-sea-level-rise-revealed-by-satellites-1.22588 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lacessit Posted December 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 12, 2020 IMO there are three step changes in the generation of heat and carbon dioxide, what are called anthropomorphic emissions. The first was the Industrial Revolution, the second the advent of the automobile, and the third the demand for electricity by populous nations such as China and India. China is still building coal-fired power plants. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states heat cannot of itself pass from a colder to a hotter body. Heat has to go somewhere, and it is absorbed by the world's oceans. Hence more intense typhoons, hurricanes and cyclones. Record heat cells in Australia. The Larsen Ice Shelf is breaking up at a rate never before observed since observations started. The last tropical glacier in Indonesia has disappeared. The main concern for scientists is the butterfly or black swan event, first postulated by Schiller in a short story around 1800. A seemingly minor change resulting in major catastrophic change elsewhere. Such an event might be a decrease in the albedo of the Greenland ice cap, or a release of methane from permafrost. With that kind of event, the current warming and sea level rise models become exercises in optimism. Denialists remind me of King Canute's courtiers, and their attacks on Thunberg for stating what 95% of scientists accept is happening is simply shooting the messenger. I've always marvelled at people who happily accept all the benefits that science and technology has given them, such as longer life expectancy, world travel, even the computers they use to communicate. Yet they scream bloody murder when the science tells them what they don't want to hear. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
