The complete elimination of all fossils in the US immediately would only restrict any increase in world temperature by less than one tenth of one degree Celsius by 2050 and by less than one fifth of one degree Celsius by 2100, according to MAGICC, the Model for Assessment of Greenhouse gas Induced by Climate Change, […]
BOXING DAYS GETTING COOLER NOT WARMER
EXTREME HEAT DUE TO CLIMATE CHANGE COULD SEND BOXING DAY INTO EXTINCTION ? According to the ABC and the Guardian Newspaper the Boxing Day Test may need to be moved to November or March in the future to avoid extreme heat, which is a danger to players and cricket fans, a new report from Monash […]
THIRD PIPE MANDATED BUT NO SITE FOR PLANT
THIRD PIPE COMPLIANCE APPROVAL BASED ON PLANT BEING BUILT ON GOLF LINKS ESTATE By way of background, Manningham, in 2008, had entered into an agreement with Yarra Valley Water and Melbourne Water to develop an integrated approach to water servicing across Doncaster Hill which was to be YVW’s first venture in a built up area. […]
THE HOCKEY STICK ALTERED CLIMATE HISTORY
MEDIEVAL WARMING PERIOD AND THE LITTLE ICE AGE HAD TO GO The problem for the Climate Scientists, the IPCC and the supporters of AGW, was that they they had to prove that the current phase of warming was unnatural, unique and unprecedented. If a similar or greater warming period had occurred in the past such […]
OXYGEN-FUEL-HEAT KEY ELEMENTS OF A FIRE
Wind also has a strong effect on the heat of a fire because it works like the bellows in a forge, blowing more oxygen into the fire, just like in the old days when people would use an old newspaper as a fan to get the kindling in the wood stove going to boil the […]
TURNBULL BACKFLIPS ON CAUSE OF BUSH FIRES
TURNBULL AND GREENS MUST STOP POLITICKING ON AUSTRALIAN BUSH FIRES Despite their assertions, it is clear that natural fires are quite rare and that the vast majority of vegetation fires arise from human causes, including deliberate arson. Statistics suggest that reducing deliberately lit bush fires would have a significant influence on the total number of […]
DOOMSDAY CLOCK EVER CLOSER TO MIDNIGHT
THE DOOMSDAY CLOCK IS WITHIN ONE HUNDRED SECONDS OF MIDNIGHT According to the United Nations the greatest level of peril to humanity since its creation in 1947 is the threat posed by climate change and the growing nuclear threat. On climate, two major UN summits fell dismally short of the action required to limit the […]
AS GOES FOSSIL FUELS AS GOES HUMANITY
POPULATION GROWTH BEGAN WITH FOSSIL FUELS To a first approximation, everything we’ve done since 1900, including agriculture, has been the result of our use of fossil fuels. The biophysical driver of fossil fuel energy transcends all political boundaries and philosophies. Fossil fuels have supplied 89% of the total primary energy used throughout the world over […]
PRE-INDUSTRIAL TEMPERATURE NOT CERTAIN
ANTHROPOGENIC WARMING ABOUT ONE DEGREE ABOVE PRE-INDUSTRIAL LEVELS But what if global temperatures exceed the tipping point for one or two years and then drop away like they have in the past, just as they had during the thirty nine year cooling period that took place between 194o-1979, despite a rapid increase in GHG emissions […]
WIND FARMS NEED MASSIVE SUBSIDIES TO EXIST
NEED FOSSIL FUELS FOR MANUFACTURE-TRANSPORT-INSTALLATION-MAINTENANCE The fact that oil is a “finite” material is not a problem. Every material is finite. Life is all about taking the theoretically finite but practically limitless materials in nature and creatively turning them into useful resources. The fossil fuel industry does it, renewable actually, the unreliable energy industry doesn’t. […]
