Well with more CO2 you have more convection, the higher atmosphere is actually cooling because of the nice CO2 blanket that keeps heat trapped lower. (Which by the way prooves that it's not the sun's natural variability that'

What so you got one data point, this is your model? Just please read the IPCC reports, you will find nice maps.

Childish? Really? I read Matt's post as modern incivility, very grown-up nasty, one thin layer of fainted respectable sounding wordage wrapping extremely rude barbs.

Why either-or? it's: (1) a lot of sobriety (2) any and all available technology with a well understood and well modelled risk/reward impact/scale plan Also note that you seem to mean new-renewables (wind and solar) when y

Where do you see a vision a nuclear powered world? No-one touts that. Look, if you have numbers, actual data, please provide it. So far all you provided pfdietz is sneer and words.

Well no, I am simply certain, from study, that the 100% renewables future being touted is a pipe dream at anything approaching mid 20th century energy consumption levels. Show me one model that does work with any technology, please, any sou

The quantity of mining required for nuclear vs. solar and wind is massively different.

No! China cornered the solar panel market through the use of megawatts of coal-produced electricity! Transportation for all the ores etc is not gaming the metrics.

It really makes me so sad to see that some people can be so confidently so wrong. It really does appear that believing in renewables as a way to perpetuate industrial society at scale has become part of some people's identity, and rega

you wrote: "EROEI of renewables is fine" I am sorry, but "fine" is a text string, not a number. About your "Completely wrong." I hope you take the time to consider sources, for example: https://www.s

1) it's not the money, it's the EROEI 2) at scale, panels recycling does become a very real issue 3) It's not the abundance, it's the mine-able ore at high enough concentration that matters 4) solar panels, read the docs

Indeed you have to look at the figures, no amount of wordage without computation will get you a true answer, still calling someone or something deplorable is, I am sorry, a dog-whistle. So to clear the air I propose you look at this substan

Do pray tell calculate a world's energy system looping back while running purely on renewables, with electric powered mining, transport of ores, refining, panels production... You will find that you cannot, cheap (for now) fossil fuels

if I may suggest something: instead of setting an alarm to ring for when you have to get up, set an alarm to get you to turn off all screens, quieten down, and get ready for sleep asap, ten hours before when you have to get up.

If an only if you have the stomach for it, first hand accounts with vids of meat wave style attacks and more are available on Reddit, at ukraineconflict. So as they say: knock yourself out! :-)

Regulations say pilots have responsibility and authority over who they accept on the plane, one commercial airliner pilot did tell me he does refuse entry to clearly inebriated passengers. For this of course the pilot has to not be too busy

Ukraine did not choose to be at war. Venturing a comparison that may fit your mental model below, bear with me: Is invading south-americans on the southern border a reason to also deny Starlink to the US of A?
