Solar now accounts for over 50% of new electricity capacity added to the U.S. grid

NO TRICKS ZONE - Quackery

 

Do you dispute the facts as reported? I doubt it.
Your name-calling merely exposes your lack of an answer.

 

I don't waste my time with quackery. Save it for somebody else.

 

As the late, great Daniel Patrick Moynihan said: You're entitled to you own opinions but not to your own facts.
You are merely denying facts here.

 

They do that because they don't know much about the science even when they are based on published science papers which is why they end up getting mad when they meet someone who is well educated of the subject who utterly destroys their cult based beliefs which is why they employ the Fallacy based replies a lot.

 

Sorry man. Quackery is quackery, no matter how you dice it up.

 

Just more denial.

 

He is afraid of a real debate which is why he does what he does as his avoidance of facts and data indicates it is fallacies all the way down as his dodge.

 

The big boys remain skeptical.

Texas hail storm outside of Houston heavily damages a massive 4,000 acre solar farm located in Needville, TX.

 

Sounds like they had a damaging hailstorm in Needville, TX and the surrounding area. Damaged solar panels were the least of their problems.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/t...use-extensive-damage-in-needville/ar-BB1k0Vm3

"An abundance of damage was seen primarily on the south side of Bellville," Those that were affected with home damage have since found shelter with family and friends. Emergency responders from within our region worked through the afternoon to ensure that all those that were affected were accounted for and safe."

The Houston area has had their share of Climate Change disasters (Hurricane Harvey, etc). Chalk up another. It's a fact that warmer air holds more water, making storms and hurricanes more intense.

 

Just another falsehood. Data are clear that there has been no increase in frequency or severity of storms or hurricanes.
At least you conceded the factual reporting from NTZ.

 

There was a hail storm - FACT. The hail storm destroyed solar panels and nothing else - FALSE.

 

As reported by NTZ. Thanks for the confirmation.

 

Severity - YES. Increase in number - NO. At least in the Atlantic.

Climate change is helping Atlantic hurricanes pack more of a punch, making them rainier, intensifying them faster and helping the storms linger longer even after landfall.

 

Nope.
Wrong, ABC News, Data Refutes Strengthening Hurricanes Claim
Extreme Weather October 23, 20230
The mainstream media, among them ABC News, Reuters and the New York Times, ran prominent stories claiming new research shows that Atlantic hurricanes have...
Data presented in more than 100 previous Climate Realism posts, here, here, here, and here, for example, clearly show that hurricane trends are relatively flat over the past 50 years of modest warming, and the trend in powerful Atlantic hurricanes is downward (see the figures below)


Figure 1: Global Hurricane Frequency (all & major) — 12-month running sums. The top time series is the number of global tropical cyclones that reached at least hurricane-force (maximum lifetime wind speed exceeds 64-knots). The bottom time series is the number of global tropical cyclones that reached major hurricane strength (96-knots+). Adapted from Maue (2011) GRL. https://climatlas.com/tropical/

Figure 2: Figure: Last 50-years+ of Global and Northern Hemisphere Accumulated Cyclone Energy: 24 month running sums. Note that the year indicated represents the value of ACE through the previous 24-months for the Northern Hemisphere (bottom line/gray boxes) and the entire global (top line/blue boxes). The area in between represents the Southern Hemisphere total ACE. https://climatlas.com/tropical/

 

Your graphs depict the exact information from the Science News article. More intensity, about the same frequency.

 

With the sharp decline in Accumulated Cyclone Energy? That is intensity. I fear you do not understand the data.

 

Graph shows increased intensity, just like Science News said. Are you going cherry-pick your own post?

 

Well, no. The decline since 2020 is unmistakable. And even 2020 was a decline from 1994.

The area in between represents the Southern Hemisphere total ACE. https://climatlas.com/tropical/

 

It's those 5 big peaks since 1990 that are problematic for your argument.

 

Nope. The trend line is a modest decline.

 

Nope - I disagree and Science News disagrees.

 

Hardly, since the Science News article precedes the graph by two years.

 

Inconsequential on a 50-year graph.
