Utter rubbish ! The data is perfectly clear on the time lag of CO2 increase following AFTER temperature increase in ALL the historic records. So, what caused that warming if it was not CO2 ? ...and every other period of warming in the past few millions of years ? Both things happend in the past. CO...

You are an expert on Germany. Happens to be my country, so I know most about this one obviously. But you keep forgetting that Germany is only .08 billion people out of 8 billion. Sure. But most countries in the world have much better wind and solar resources than Germany, so if it works well for us...

It's possible there are thermal advantages from the higher voltage relative to other inverter tech available to Porsche but it can't be assumed.. generally higher voltage capable silicon has a proportional increase in resistance. There are 'sweet spots' where system efficiency peaks and perhaps 800...

We’re nowhere close to being able to build out the massive energy projects required. The equivalent of 200, 10 MW off shore (or 450, 4MW onshore) wind turbines every day for the next 30 years? That’s a total pipe dream. While at the same time replacing all built out fossil fuel infrastructure with ...

Poor analogy there.. you misinterpreted the analysis. You should have said...” Yes, most CO2 INCREASE is from natural processes.” No it isn't. The additional CO2 from 280pp to 410ppm is 100% from fossil fuels. It's even more than that, but the oceans and biosphere have absorbed some of our CO2 outp...

How the UK transformed its electricity supply in just a decade Back in 2008, as the Climate Change Act was becoming law, some four-fifths of the UK’s electricity came from fossil fuels – and climate campaigners were resisting plans for a new fleet of coal-fired power stations. Emissions from the sec...

Yes, most CO2 s from natural processes. But is 5% more CO2 harmless? Try to add 3000g water to your body every day, but only remove 2850g every day (95%). So only 5% of your water intake is to much. Is it harmless if you add 150g of water outside the natural cycle to your body every day? After just ...

Remember how all those stupid scientists in the 1970s were predicting an ice age?

No.

You ( and most green proponents and websites) are often confusing added CAPACITY with PRODUCTION. I confuse nothing technical. I may confuse some words and lack the argumenting skills, because English is not my native tongue. We are looking at growth rates. Capacity and production can be considered...

Correct,.. i am not an expert on international power generation or distribution, ...but as we say,... “even blind Freddy”. Can see enough to know which of those countries made the smartest decision ! Hindsight is always clearer. So lets wait and see... Germany has some experience with the cost of d...

Yeah that graph is bollocks. IEA predictions vs reality of photovoltaic: https://16iwyl195vvfgoqu3136p2ly-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/Twitter_Auke_Hoekstra_IEA_PV-Vorhersagen-1024x512.jpg source: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2018/11/20/iea-versus-solar-pv-reality/ And a nice r...

. https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/images/2017.09.14/main.png . . If this prediction of the IEA would become true humanity would be doomed. Thankfully IEA (the puppet of the global oil industry) predictions have a history of always being way of, especially they always underestimated solar and wind...

.?? Heavily dependent ?? You may want to check your sources. France, like most European countries, works with its neighbours to balance demand across the European grid. It certainly imports power from Germany, (and others ), but it is a net EXPORTER of power to all its neighbours ! As often with am...

We can see on average year after year how wind/solar states ultimately emit as much as 10 times more co2 than nuclear-based France. If we were comparing these co2 stats as if they were two different cars then the "wind/solar renewables car" would be considered a bad extreme polluting joke,... In re...

Population will shrink again after 2050, maybe a bit sooner. Difficult predict over long times. 80% of world population will live in large cities by than. In large cities not every person needs a car. 1 car for 5 persons should do it easily. Maybe we find solutions for even less car ownership, this...

Only politicians can call ‘speed’ a 500w bike. When laws are stupid, riders don’t need to be. In most places anyway, the police does apply the traffic rules and don’t care about the power of a bike. My "250W" speed Pedelec are good enough for 50km/h+ if they are unlimited. I limit them to 45km/h wh...

Obviously money is not an issue for you... I payed less than 4000€ for all (3) of them. Here is a picture of all 4 (incl. one for my girlfriend): Diamant_Surpreme_alle.jpg I changed the drive system and some components, so overall the price has been higher, but still significantly below 10.000€ for...

At 8 times the consumption of today in 2100 so that all 10 billion people on earth can eventually have their own 60 kWh car? 100 years? 300? Population will shrink again after 2050, maybe a bit sooner. Difficult predict over long times. 80% of world population will live in large cities by than. In ...

People choosing to migrate is not up to you and it has already begun and will obviously increase to the billions level over the next 50 years. And will take a miracle of human understanding and sharing to avoid nationalistic bloody defenses of border walls and world resource wars. We have borders, ...

How much of German per capita and per GDP energy reduction that the chart shows is because of unseen embodied energy they are still using that now comes back in from the energy ledgers of elsewhere after outsourcing some of mining, refining, manufacture, ect to the far East in steadily increasing a...

The Milan numbers are very cool. Sadly a legal 45km/h version is not available. Direct drive with regen would be preferable imho to use regenerative braking and for less noise inside this hull and for the option to move backwards using the motor drive. But a DD limited to 25km/h with motor drag abov...

Where bosch is heavily lobbying, is to have their motors pass certification. I repeat it again and again: there is no way bosch active line or cx line are 250W-continuous limited. Not talking about the 25km/h speed limit, which is implemented, but motor power output. I monitor my bbs closely, and k...

Not sure if this is getting too OT, but S-Pedelec is not really an interesting category in Europe. Sure you can ride a little faster, but since it's considered a lightweight motor vehicle it basically means you cannot use any of the bicycle advantages, ie. bike lanes. You are stuck with the stench ...

At the opposite pole of the StarTrek future that you irrationally envision can facilitate a continued human trajectory of "Green Growth" at business as usual economically healthy 2-3% rates to avoid a crash. This continued exponential growth would see the size of the human economic endeavor doublin...

So do you also mock 350.org, FridaysForFuture, Sunrise, Extinction Rebelion, ect for using words like emergency, catastrophe, collapse? I understand and accept I will receive ridicule for jumping through the Overton Window to present essential information that is far outside the consensus trance th...
