Whoops, perhaps I should have said;
The Fourier Transform technique was USED by CSIRO to dig your weak
wifi signal out of the noise.

We could have a much cleaner atmosphere if it weren't for Anarchists Leftists necessitating defensive action all over the planet.

The insurgency against big oil, will be lead by the boardrooms of New York, London, Paris, Stockholm, Sydney, Wellington and all major cities across the globe! Fools living in a fool's paradise will argue that we will continue to sell our coal, given its high quality!

As for carbon capture and storage? The only viable success stories have only been applicable to gas and exhausted wells that can then be retasked? But may become completely unviable then, as in the past, earth movement have caused gas wells to leak massive volumes of gas! And could do the same with CO2!?

Most of the success stories have been when CO2 was pumped back into gas wells to maximise production and volume.

And where successful could enable us to avoid carbon tariffs, which will be a part of the foreseeable future.

That same future foresight tells us we are still living in a fool's paradise as in the thirties, believing as we do we are protected under the umbrella of another powerful nation? That worked well do WW11 didn't it!?

And tells all energy options must be on the table, but particularly those that return mass scale manufacturing to these shores. That simply cannot happen while big oil has us by the short and curlies, lay assisted by our insane, self-imposed, the sky will fall, embargo against nuclear power!

I'll concede that the sun's solar cycles are not nailed to specific timelines But I accepted that NASA's scientific community knew? And that whatever the probable length of the cycle? That we have been in a waning (cooling) phase since the mid-seventies! (NASA)

CO2 blocks infrared radiant heat which would normally be reflected back to space! So it does affect climate!

If our CO2 levels were typical of the medieval era, we'd be freezing our family jewels off, the ice would be advancing across the globe and sea levels would be falling in response to the advance of the ice!

So without question, something is out of whack and needs to be addressed without tanking the economy, but instead massively turbocharging it!

And those two conflicting goals only possible if nuclear power is on the table and as MSR thorium! MSR thorium would also allow us to capture an annual massive medical tourism market!

Simply put, there are no downsides to thorium and the coal-mining jobs it would more than replace! Thorium needs to be mined and refined, as does nickel, lithium, cobalt, graphene, copper and platinum.

Moreover, thorium would facilitate vastly increased metals smelting outcomes and a whole host of endlessly sustainable, carbon-neutral, fuel, fertilizer and plastics production here, of alternatives created from inexhaustible seawater! Using known science/proven production methods!

I'd argue just the latter on its own more than replacing any lost coal mining jobs! Given they can be installed as production projects in or near former coalmining towns/provinces! The only factor currently missing is, an affordable energy source to power this potential industry!

And the only affordable energy source that would make the latter viable, is, MSR thorium or better yet MSR nuclear waste burners!

The latter not including the massive annual medical tourism spinoff of MSR thorium, but, the production of endlessly available, ultra-cheap hydrogen!

Actually, Alan, the medieval period, say 800 to 1200 is known as the
Medieval Warm period when the Vikings settled on Greenland and hence its name.
Some suggested it was given that name as a Real Estate Sales trick to
encourage more Vikings to settle there.
By the 1400s it had got to cold for farming there and the Vikings left.
The lowest point of the temperature was around the end of the 18th
century and the end of the cold period was signaled by the end of the
annual Ice Festivals on the Thames in 1814 and the temperature kept
rising until around 2000.
After that we will watch with interest, if we are here.

As an aside the Turku & Kobe scientists believe too much sensitivity
is given to CO2 on its affect on temperature.
The main cycle effect has been blamed erroneously on CO2.

Since the demotion of the working class by industry moving out to Asia, and the subsequent increase in the Lumpenproletariat, could we burn them in ovens for fuel ?

This model has advantages for the elite best able to afford the cost of inefficiencies created by alternate power sources.
