Environmental acts of faith are seriously misdirecting public investment in our electricity sector : Comments
By Brendan O'Reilly, published 1/2/2021Environmentalism, complete with fear of global-warming (a modern day reincarnation of Hell?), has now established itself as a major religion in developed countries.

The climate crooks "accept the science" that suits them; they ignore the findings of well qualified scientists who have debunked the religion of climate hysteria.

Pete S,
Your understanding is wrong. Although it is true that cooler water can hold more CO2, the release of huge amounts of CO2 from the burning of fossil fuels (increasing its atmospheric concentration by 50%) has resulted in more CO2 going into the sea than coming out. This is known as ocean acidification, as it lowers the pH of the ocean. Though it's still far less acidic than pure water, it's causing problems for some sea creatures.

Dear Pete S,
Nope. Here is the empirical data. http://oceanacidification.noaa.gov/OurChangingOcean.aspx Posted by SteeleRedux, Monday, 1 February 2021 9:54:24 AM

I agree with what Brendan has written.
Only one point I would pick him up on; Peak Crude Oil occurred in 2005. When the oil industry realised what had happened they went for an old process called fracking. This and its improvement now possible, horizontal drilling, enabled our "happy motoring" to continue, up to now. No longer, the economics of fracking is being reflected in bankruptcies, A straw in the wind is the Royal Dutch Shell CEOs announcement of setting up a group to study how Shell should exit the oil industry. It is not a coincidence that motor manufacturers have all discovered electric cars. To get back to the subject, the one factor that stuffs up the wind and solar process is the performance of wind turbines. If a wind turbine has a nameplate rating, for arguments sake of 100 Mwatt over a year it will produce 35Mw/year of power. (Some later turbines are reputed to produce 50Mw/Year.) This means that to get the full output you have to install two more turbines. However you cannot install them alongside the first one so you have to have at a minimum two more sites in different wind systems. But even then the wind might not blow in two sites of the three. Do you see where this is leading ? The cost of wind and solar is much higher than the advocates pretend. More later, lunch now ! Posted by Bazz, Monday, 1 February 2021 11:07:35 AM

Bird's fur. Horsefeathers, Bullshine and bah humbug!
As our bone dry world was ablaze in the worse firestorm in living memory This dunderhead was possibly filling in his footy coupon? Doing the hula on a Hawaiian beach or some such? Buffing bumbling Boris's boots? The public are not as ill-informed on the climate or actual cost of generating carbon-free energy? Check Facebook and shared vids to understand, what we could actually do about energy, if we just had a modicum of actual intelligence at the helm! [More to follow! And all peer review science! It's not easy but stay with it! It may take as much as two whole hours out of your entire lifetime? Your kids will explain the parts you don't understand or get!] Understand, reliable carbon-free energy can be cheaper than coal! 1.98 cents PKWH? Instead, we have a parliament of Baboons/murder of crows? At least, doing its best to look like the above at question time? Little wonder we get (smiling Jackass, climate change is crap) articles like this published and taken seriously in some quarters? Alan B. Posted by Alan B., Monday, 1 February 2021 11:15:52 AM

Pete S. You're right inasmuch as there's a (200-year pulse) solar cycle! But the waning phase we've been in since the mid-seventies (NASA) should have produced a cooler phase and advancing ice! Not the very opposite!
Action on very real climate change doesn't have to tank the economy but rather, give it a turbo boost on steroids! Check Facebook and several shared vids. More to follow and all peer-reviewed science they don't want you to know! Cheers, Alan B. Posted by Alan B., Monday, 1 February 2021 11:30:08 AM
