so I guess you do drive a car, own a computer and are using electricity generated from a fossil fuel source. Kind of reminds me of those televangelists who scream at others to obey the bible while they are sleeping with the parishioners wives. It's middle of summer down there in Oz, better crank that AC down a notch or two. Wouldn't want you to have a heat stroke
The competition as you put it was getting a free ride on energy companies grid which amounts to them being forced to subsidize their competition. As I have said ad nauseam in here alternative power is not affordable without being subsidized and the collapse of solar in Nevada proves me correct once again.
As I said earlier forest are being bulldozed to make farmland to feed a growing population so your calling discussion of your choice to have children and increase the population is not the strawman you claimed now is it.
You just touched the third rail with alarmist, you are now the enemy. Thou shalt not mention population and how an alarmist having children is the height of hypocrisy. - - - Updated - - - More running from difficult questions by shouting troll or strawman.
They did not subsidize anything. Nevada power was losing money....and we cant let that happen - - - Updated - - - So when do you ship out? - - - Updated - - - You exhibit such hypocrisy. You believe in the fight against ISIS but where are you on the front lines?
fight ISIS? I am retired military, been there done that already and Navy would not let me enlist again if I wanted to. Quite frankly I would love to be able to do it all over again, I had a great time serving my country now in your case you preach renewable energy while sitting in you fossil fuel powered air conditioning, driving your fossil fuel powered car. Who is the hypocrite here ? you need to start practicing what you preach. Sell your car and ride a bicycle everywhere, go off the electric grid and cover your roof with solar panels. Disconnect from the water supply and dig a well. Then tell me how I should live. I love my central heat and air and my vehicles just the way they are. That new tankless hot water heater is a blast, I can take long hot showers on cold days powered by natural gas, I love it Definition of hypocrisy plural hypocrisies 1 : a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not; especially : the false assumption of an appearance of virtue or religion 2 : an act or instance of hypocrisy https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hypocrisy
I know of no respected scientist that says we should stop air conditioning or driving cars. Name one.
and here I thought you AGW types were against fossil fuel use, or do you use solar and windmill powered autos ? Or is only other peoples use of AC powered by gas and coal generated electricity and gas powered cars that bothers you ?
Wow. I asked for a single name. Just one. And you can't provide it. Not even one. That answeres me LOUD AND CLEAR.
and your answer is that you will continue to belch out as many carbon emissions as needed to ensure your comfort and convenience while you preach to others to stop. The old do as I say not as I do approach, got it. When you cut that AC down a notch or fill your vehicle with premium do you feel like a baptist minister sneaking into a porn store?
You make no sense. Not a single ecientists or scientific agency is calling for people to stop driving or using AC. Not a single one. So why should we do that? It is so silly and dishonest.
What is really silly and dishonest is how the Malthusians want to make it as expensive as possible. I am sure you have seen and avoided my threads on the energy crisis in the UK and soon to be the rest of the EU. The "experts" like Al Gore sit in their private jets eating a steak and telling granny she should turn the thermostat down a notch and put a little extra air in her tires so she does not kill the planet 15 K people were died in the UK last year due to having to decide between fuel and food. How many will the AGW people kill this winter ?
I see claims without evidence. I know of no laws that will stop people from having air conditioning, cars or even private jets. Energy is at historically very low prices. AGW may indeed kill people this winter....that is why we are trying to slow it down. LOL
slowing it down by making energy more expensive so that people have to choose between food and heating their homes is doing them a favor? that's pretty twisted logic. are you so blind not to realize what you are doing to the poor and the old or do you just not care? The ironyis all you are doing is sending the manufacturing pollution to China and India. maybe you can find something on Skeptical Science to convince you that we share the same atmosphere. oh and proof, do these stories make you proud? Is this the real goal ? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/u...killed-15000-people-last-winter-10217215.html Fuel poverty campaigners reckon the number of excess winter deaths surged last winter to 49,260, of which around 14,780 were due to people living in cold homes. The Energy Bill Revolution estimates that the average number of excess winter deaths over the previous five years was 27,830, so last winter saw an increase of 77 per cent above the five year average. https://www.theguardian.com/society...y-last-lifetime-national-energy-action-report People in 4 million UK households face restricted life chances because they live in a cold, damp property, according to the NEA report. It warned that that the current rate of progress in tackling the problem means fuel poverty will not have ended by the time a child born today turns 80. The average life expectancy at birth in the UK is 83 years for girls and 79 for boys, according to the Office for National Statistics.
AGW programs haven't even started to affect fossel fuel prices yet. So this stuff id happening under the CURRENT model. If AGW lead to floods, hurricanes, food shortages and massive weather events....how is trying to slow down that process hurting the poor?
Sorry but is this report from the NEA about old cold houses? The answer is not to make energy cheaper but to insulate the buildings better. There are houses in England that even today do not have indoor plumbing because they have not seen renovation since victorian times Now the guardian artcile is actually about a CHARITY and the report comes from that charity as part of it's rationale for wanting to get money from other people. When one logs onto the charity website it is even more interesting because rather than plans to provide cheaper fuels there are plans for smart meters and energy efficiency strategies
You are not going to slow it down unless you go after methane instead of Mazdas and poor people like their hamburger helper.
No you aren't. It is already being dismissed as not important because methane only sticks around 10 years (ignoring a perpetual stream of cow farts pushes that 10 years perpetually).
I hear the EPA is about to wind down its AGW agenda. Shame. Better dump those solar stocks. You probably want to stop eating commercially available food of any kind whatsoever if you really believe that something needs to be done. Put your money where your mouth is. All those new roads the dems are always wanting release a massive amount of CO2 as soon as they start grading them, not counting all that carbon heavy asphault. The DNC and its harpies don't want to do a damn thing about CO2 because every single thing they support outside the AGW nonsense leads to massive releases of CO2. Tell me how people need as living wage so they can consume more and release more CO2 and deplete more natural resources. That one is always a hoot for me.
So when will the EPA or any other agency deny AGW? When does that happen? It certainly has not happened yet
