Climate change means lifestyle change : Comments

By John Avery, published 10/2/2020

A United Nations report released Wednesday, 20 November, 2019, warned that worldwide projections for fossil fuel production over the next decade indicate that the international community is on track to fail to rein in planet-heating emissions.

John you must have the math to be able to follow the chemistry & physics of the CO2 causes global warming theory.

Have you ever done it? If so you are merely trying to con us. If not with your scholarship it is disgusting lazy of you that you haven't, & then burst into print pushing the scam.

Any one with the math must know that there is more than enough water vapor up there to vacuum up every bit of long wave radiation that the earth emits half a dozen times over. If you don't believe me, do the math, then join the skeptics, if you have the guts to go against academia.

Cont. Why did Fukushima fail? Well, because a Tsuminami caused a power supply failure and because the backup diesels were in the basement! And didn't operate too well underwater!

You see in a conventional reactor the reaction is controlled by the raising and lowering of the fuel rods and they are raised by powered electromagnets.

And therefore in any conventional reactor, power needs to be uninterrupted! Otherwise, the reaction goes out of control, gets too hot and 150 atmospheres of unimaginable pressure can skyrocket!

And rupture the reactor vessel at which time the water flashes instantly to 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen. A highly explosive mixture and super hot!

And as in Chernobyl Exploding inside the reactor building.

Moreover without the coolant. i.e., pressurised water, the fuel rods melted out the bottom of the reactor vessel (Chernobyl)

And the workers then exposed to quite massive gamma radiation.

Why do you suppose used fuel rods are suspended in water? It's not so much thermal heat, but rather, radioactive heat.

You see, water contains and shields us or anything else from gamma radiation and why nuclear-armed nuclear submarines are the ultimate nuclear deterrent!

However, what I'm proposing is not highly pressurised systems but unpressurised and unconventional! Cannot meltdown given the system is already molten and deliberately designed to very safely operate that way!.

And means the MSR reaction is self-controlled by normal heat-related contraction, when the reaction speeds and expansion where it slows.

If there is a power failure for any reason the whole thing automatically shuts down and the molten liquid self drains to a purpose-built holding tank where it cools and solidifies.

The fuel can be abundant and cheaper thorium or nuclear waste which is burned and burned until the remaining energy quotient is consumed! Virtually thousands of years of almost free to us, CARBON FREE electricity, given that's part of our choice?

ALTRAV,

If she steals your thunder, you can always give her a pat on the back. I find that it is more important to laud the people you agree with than it is to argue with people who are never going to agree with you. Are you sure she is a she? Alison/Allison use to be interchangeable. I recall a Sir Allison Somebody in the British parliament, and males bearing the name were not uncommon in previous centuries.

It must be hard to keep preaching a religion that has more false prophecies than the Jehovah's witness. A religion that is bent on denying bring poor out of poverty and stopping everyone except themselves from air travel, reliable cooling in the summer and heating in the winter. These heartless charlatans make some of the American preaching charlatans look mild. To think they call themselves 'environmentalist'. psss.

Tell us something we didn't already know.

what? who is advocating not using modern appliances.

most are merely seeking to reduce the use of fossil fuels and relace them with cleaner sources. Take AlanB for example.

but, it is true. we should all seek to cut our own carbon footprint through sensible choices when knowledge is presented to us.

when people choose to criticise teenagers and call people communists just for believing in the link between human activity and global warming, u can only laugh.
