Tony Lavis do not be cruel indy needs to think like that

Toni Lavis & Belly,
Gawd ! Was your sense of humour buried under those rocks ?

Individual,

We always enjoy interacting with you and other
deniers. Much as we enjoy playing peak-a-boo with
a baby, or perhaps teasing a cat with a laser pointer.

Undy please consider, in about twenty years clean energy will be the standard
Climate denying by then no longer seen
IF we ever reach peak oil, it is not short now, just price manipulation at work
New fuel with be every day
Humor is good but consider the insults used against those of us who hold views different to yours

A friend has told me that his other friend in Bunbury, WA, has reported that the sea-level around Fremantle has risen by three or four inches.

My friend asked him how much it had risen at Bunbury. "Well, not at all," he replied.

"What's the main water source for Perth?" my friend asked. "Ground water," his friend replied.

"So Perth is subsiding as water is taken out of the ground under it ?" my friend asked, all innocent.

Denier bastard.

How can we stamp out this blatant ignoring of catastrophic realities ? That there is currently too much CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere for the natural vegetation to absorb?

Or maybe we can somehow increase the amount of natural vegetation to absorb CO2 ? Like more crops, orchards, cotton fields, plantations ? If there is some connection between CO2 and absorption by plant life, then is it possible to increase the amount of plant life, to match the amount of CO2 being produced ? Remember when they called global warming "the greenhouse effect" ?

Plants love CO2. The more CO2, the more efficiently plants take up water as well.

So here's a simple formula:

Nuclear plants producing energy, for desalination plants, for vast Poly-pipe drip-system irrigation schemes across (for a start) northern Australia, raising useful timber trees, fruit trees, sandalwood, mangoes and avocados, etc. by the millions, eventually billions. Aboriginal people in remote communities are crying out for huge economic schemes to get involved with, for life, they're sick of welfare. Ten thousand could be trained up, in nursery management, hydro-engineering, plant biology, agri-business, and down the track: saw-milling, furniture-making, re-planting. A massive, never-ending mega-enterprise, employing people forever.

And CO2 controlled.

What's not to like ?

Belly- The biggest issue with renewables is that you can't throttle it in the same way as other fuel based systems and the cost of the battery bank makes it too expensive. Also in vehicles there are other issues- lifetime of batteries 5-20 years dependent on climate above 25 degrees. Power source in vehicles needs to be light weight, high power density, cheap, environmentally friendly, safe.

Sadly I wrote a solid article but proceeded to delete it when I closed the tab.

Basically you need someone knowledgeable about engineering to understand. If you are serious about using renewables talk with engineers and read about different vehicles such as trains, cars, and power stations.
