Craig,

When you find something and use it completely out of context, then you have learnt nothing. I seriously doubt that you even understand how LACE is calculate and the meaning of the results it gives.

I have no problem with LACE being used for a detailed analysis of a particular project, but it is completely useless to compare between different applications, and to say that LCOE is a poor measure when it is the gold standard world wide is to expose your unpolished turd ignorance.

The flea says:” Denier Agencies have been very successful in thwarting climate science; if there had been a transition into renewable a couple of decades ago we would not be in such a mess as we are in now.”
The flea has never contested the fact that he is an unqualified ignoramus, and now gives proof of it. He is well aware that there is no science to show any measurable human effect on climate, but uses the scurrilous term “denier” for people propagating the truth.
We can take the flea’s comments on arctic ice as being those of an unqualified ignoramus. He gives no sources

You stated:

Except as per usual you are wrong, I had previously given a reference (12 October 2016, 10.20am):

http://sites.uci.edu/zlabe/arctic-sea-ice-extentconcentration/

The second graph using data from NSIDC, shows how your reference given elsewhere was completely wrong in relation to sea ice extent:

From the same site sea ice volume can be found:

Another reference in relation to sea ice volume in the Arctic, there is now around 25% volume in comparison to 1980. The short article below is written by Dr Joe Romm, a Physicist.

Quote:

"The sharp decline in Arctic sea ice area in recent decades has been matched by a harder-to-see, but equally sharp, drop in sea ice thickness. The combined result has been a warming-driven collapse in total sea ice volume - to about one quarter of its 1980 level."

In 2016 a yatch sailed from Britain and sailed via one route of the fabled North West Passage and returned via the other passage.

The article written by Paul Homewood, you referenced, and later presented by Watts is complete garbage.

I pointed out at the time that the article was wrong and why; yet, you persist in continuing to present rubbish.

My comment on 28 September 2016 7:28:00 AM,was shown to be correct by sea ice extent in October 2016, as shown above .... 12 October 2016.
