Slaying the dragon of Net Zero emissions : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 29/4/2022

The communique of COP26 was, according to the Queensland Senator, a 'green light' for Australia to keep digging and 'supply the world with more coal because that's what brings people out of poverty'.

I wish someone with the knowledge would take up Alan B's proposals.
To my limited knowledge it should be a goer.

Hasbeen,
I don't think it is doing much cooling yet.
Kappenin et al think the peak was late 1990s but it is uncertain.
The top of the peak will be about 50 years wide. However as the cycle
is composed of multiple cycles you need Fourier analysis to work out
just when a change occurs. The problem I think is that so far there
is not enough data from previous cycles for Fourier to work.

The thing that disappoints me is that we won't be here to say I told you so !

David de Bazz,
Re the acid in the ocean here is a paragraph from a book.

Chemical fingerprints in marine sediments show that there were short
times when ocean surface waters were slightly acid but reverted quickly
to the normal state of being alkaline. The measure of ocean alkalinity
(pH) is a logarithmic measurement and if all the planets atmospheric
carbon dioxide were dissolved in the oceans they would still be alkaline.

I am no chemist so that is not my knowledge.

de Bazz, aab

Bazz, I am a chemist. The Antarctic ocean is acid enough to disssolve the CaCO3 shells of crustacea. It is happening now and will get worse.

Another nutjob, Prince Charles, has backed a mob of weirdos who have come up with a mask for cows to wear to stop their methane emissions. Most methane, we are now told, is burped by cows, not farted as we thought. Who said the science was settled?

Bazz, if someone in Canberran were to seriously look at what I've proposed? There would need to be rational people engaged in more than telling pork pies just to get elected! And come replete with the national interest first and foremost as the real goal!

To put it mildly, the last thing on the agenda in the minds of pollies and public servants is the national interest? And replaced by this or that special vested interest/personal interest?

Were this not so, what I've proposed would already be existing reality?

Commonsense is not common but arguably the most rare intellectual phenomena in the world? Except in Canberra where it seems to be entirely non existent?
Cheers, Alan B.

David, the next paragraph goes on to say;
If we use green activist ideology increased carbon dioxide in the air
makes the oceans more acidic. How do they explain
the fact that we have fossil shells ?
Fossil shells are made of calcium carbonate which
dissolves in acid and at the time these fossils formed, the atmospheric
carbon dioxide was far higher then it is now. Accordingly the oceans
should have been acid, shells would have dissolved and would not be present for fossilisation.

Is the explanation in the reference to logarithmic calculations ?
Further paragraph do not refer directly to acidification but to the
use by the oceanic co2 consumed by phytoplankton etc as part of the
ocean food chain.

I think there is so much doubt now in the whole global warming theory
being driven by mankind and the failure of all the scary predictions
to be non events that it is time to rethink the whole thing.

Anyway interesting David. Are you a WIA member ? are you on their
email forwarding ?
