Ok, this global warming shit is getting out of hand...

"Renewable Energy Could Power the World by 2050"

Virtually all the world’s demand for electricity to run transport and to heat and cool homes and offices, as well as to provide the power demanded by industry, could be met by renewable energy by mid-century.

This is the consensus of 47 peer-reviewed research papers from 13 independent groups with a total of 91 authors that have been brought together by Stanford University in California.

Some of the papers take a broad sweep across the world, adding together the potential for each technology to see if individual countries or whole regions could survive on renewables.

Special examinations of small island states, sub-Saharan Africa and individual countries like Germany look to see what are the barriers to progress and how they could be removed.

In every case the findings are that the technology exists to achieve 100% renewable power if the political will to achieve it can be mustered.

“It seems that every part of the world can now find a system that edges fossil fuels out in costs”
The collection of papers is a powerful rebuff to those who say that renewables are not reliable or cannot be expanded fast enough to take over from fossil fuels and nuclear power.

Once proper energy efficiency measures are in place, a combination of wind, solar and water power, with various forms of storage capacity, can add up to 100% of energy needs in every part of the planet.

New Michael Moore documentary on the scam of wind, solar, and biomass. Can any of you guys sit through 1 hr 40 mins of what I've been telling you? I also learned at the 36 minute mark that when you call me a 'Koch brother shill' you might have meant that I was one of the "good guys".

Shut the fuck up you ignorant cunt

Ouch. That made me laugh so hard I snorted the water I was drinking out of my nose. Yeah, you and the Koch's are good guys for sure.

If you think that is fear mongering it just shows you aren't paying attention

The world's oceans were the hottest in recorded history in 2019, scientists said on Tuesday, as manmade emissions warmed seas at an ever-increasing rate with potentially disastrous impacts on Earth's climate.

Oceans absorb more than 90 percent of excess heat created by greenhouse gas emissions and quantifying how much they have warmed up in recent years gives scientists an accurate read on the rate of global warming

In the past 1,200 years, the United States has experienced four megadroughts lasting decades to centuries. Now, it increasingly appears that we have already begun another megadrought.

A recent study argues that the drought conditions experienced in the western US since 2000 are the start of a megadrought equal to the worst the US has experienced in 1,200+ years

I'm just wondering what megadrought are they talking about?

[The Tortoise]

Hey, it's moist. In March. When the snow is melting.

No shit.

"The percent of days above freezing has been declining in the US for a century, with last year among the lowest."

No shit.

It's not for just March, it is long term. Here is the end of last summer for you anyway:

Would you mind telling me what Australia has to do with a Western US drought?

Also, your drought map shows little sign of a megadrought.

That is the paper that k2's article is based on....

Has anyone discussed weather modification?

Jet stream steering
Chemical ice nucleation
High pressure dome creation
Solar radiation modification

The patents are out there. The science is real.

But yeah, no ones ever done it irl.
Operation Popeye was 60 fucking years ago.

Did you watch it? What did you think?

I did not watch it. I can't stand Michael Moore and don't like his films (ok, I've only seen one I think but didn't like it).

I've now seen some reviews from people that know a lot more about climate change than any of us, and they say it is really bad journalism and very misleading. Sounds like Michael Moore.

[Johnny Tyndall]

Yes, and it answers your question in full detail with references.

RJ thinks posting links to "hack" op-ed denier sites make him "legit"

RJ thinks there's big walls around each country and that weather on one part of our planet doesn't effect weather anywhere else
