Do you actually believe that stuff BAYGON.

God help us.

Well Baygon, I was not going to waste 42 minutes watching that video.
I am going to bed instead.
An interesting development today; Google stopped money flowing to
Prof Roberts of the Alabama Universities weather lab because they
published their results on the last period. forgotten how long, that
the temperature only rose 0.03 C.
In effect what they say is that their satellite measurements show that
the troposphere temperature has stopped rising.
That organisation is the only one that measures whole earth temperature.
I detect that there is a change occurring in opinion on this matter.

Of course you will not invest 40 minutes to be informed especially after Hasbeen has yet again flouted his ignorance in rejecting the ida of transition engineering. Take comfort in those who reassure you that all is well - as they say ignorance is bliss.

OK Baygon, understand your position.
No worries, but please explain why does temperature rise then followed
by a co2 rise ?
So many predictions have failed, why ?
Why is the long established 600/1000 year cycle ignored ?
Kaupenin & others believe the cycle is near/at peak now.
Another 100 years and it will be certain.

Still makes for interesting discussion.

Thanks for raising this discussion Bazz.

I agree that nuclear is part of the solution to energy- you could probably use renewable energy to run the centrifuges until nuclear becomes self sustaining. Nuclear could be a great battery for solar power- Thorium is probably cleaner- producing more radioactively stable outputs- but Australia also needs Plutonium for defense. Sadly you wouldn't want radioactive power sources in vehicles- you could probably use a short half life isotope (such as Polonium from memory) but-
This means you need an intermediate energy source- options include batteries, hydrogen, ethanol, fuel cells, etc- all have their advantages and disadvantages taking into account- maturity, retrofit-ability, supply-ability.

A solar powered nuclear battery cycle could be-
Solar powered centrifuges create isotopic fuel rods- fuel rods power reactor to create electricity.

It gets us part of the way to a stable energy supply not reliant on hydrocarbons- but transition to electric cars will require a large amount of carbon to retrofit or manufacture the worlds fleet of vehicles.

To me the best outcome is if we could find a way to take the hydrocarbons out of the atmosphere to use in vehicles but the development time frame is unknown.

The auto sector has been struggling for a while- remember the SUV stimulus under Bush- perhaps they are also promoting electric vehicles to stimulate the market.

OK Canem, after the election no matter who wins it will be interesting
to watch the scramble to enforce the 5% a year reduction in co2.
Whatever party is in power will be certain to lose the next following
election in 2025 if they enforce the 5% a year reduction.
I suppose to be realistic, for political survival reasons
that 5% a year will not be enforced. By 2025 it will be 15% !
