Global Warming

Best answer: Germany has NOT converted all its electricity production to renewable wind and solar power. It did have a plan in January to close it down over the next nineteen years according to LATimes.

They have not shut down all their nuclear plants, either.

And the only reason they can rely on "renewables" as much as they do is that they swap electricity with neighbours who also still use nuclear and fossil fuels and some have hydro.

It does make their electricity almost the most expensive in the world. It is amazing how much all the free energy actually costs!

Best answer: Some people have no interest in evidence or objective reality - you show them what's going on and they laugh - they don't care - they make their own reality - but it's not real. This is the mindset of the denier, and for the most part, the entire republican party. They see climate change as a political issue - for Democrats but not themselves.
What they miss is that this is more than a climactic disaster, it's an evolutionary event.
Republicans just won the Darwin Award and they're on their way out.
All anyone can say is good riddance!

Best answer: Republicans are not smart enough to grasp the complexities of climate change. The average conservative only understands the temperature where they live. That's why we always see ignorant rightists saying things like "It's 30 degrees at my house. Where's all that global warming?" 

Best answer: I live in the piedmont and am looking forward to owning valuable beachfront property.

Best answer: It is obviously true and it is interesting how alarmists try to weasel around that obvious fact. Their need to exaggerate for their Cause is greater than any interest they have in facts and reality.

From the Times of Israel news: "We have sinned by failing to educate the public about environmental issues and to prepare it to cope with the consequences of climate change, with the result that public awareness is pitifully low." https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/10/09/t...

Best answer: This further verifies the fact that the Kehl/Trenberth energy budget diagram portrays nothing more than "an perpetual motion engine" that violates the Law of Thermodynamics.

Update: The video by Astrophysicist Joe Postma debunks the AGE and the Trenberth diagram.

Dirac you have never, ever refuted any of my posts.

Lindzen, Spencer, Singer, Giaever, Curry, Dyson etc. all accept the reality of the greenhouse effect, so what's up with so many deniers in rejecting it (Solar Wind, the troll, Willy, graphicconception etc.)?

Best answer: temperature varies from reign to reign whereas climate does not

Best answer: The greenhouse effect is so well understood that really, anyone questioning it is just plain wrong. It's in the same category as people questioning if the Earth is round or whether continents move - people can believe what they want but it doesn't mean they're right.

The maximum temperature an object can reach is basically the point at which the rate heat is being radiated, conducted and/or convected to the external environment matches the rate at which heat is being supplied to the object. If you reduce the rate heat is being transferred to that external environment, the temperature of the object increases. It's why we insulate houses.

Fortunately, our atmosphere has gases that absorb infrared and re-emit it in random directions. The temperature of the Earth is higher with these gases than without, and if we increase the concentration, the temperature of the planet must also rise.

It's entirely what the laws of thermodynamics tells us has to happen.

Best answer: You must be a left wing Ideolog, who believes blindly in party politics and doesn't think for yourself. Political correctness is your virtue.

Debating a conscientious topic will ultimately offend someone because of different views, but alarmists want the Climate debates shut down because it opposes their views.
