Not without boxcar-loads of dead bodies, you can't.

Confabulating the climate activist impractical and nonsensical plans with what can (as a practical matter of human needs and necessities) and will (because the alternatives of doing nothing are worse that the solutions) be done to solve the problem is the typical, sleight of hand, nobody serious is falling for today.

Everything has both benefits and costs. The error of the AGW fanatics is their refusal to acknowledge the costs of their "solutions", which includes human life.

And close to 1/2 of the US population is falling for it.

There are no viable political solutions that do not include the substantial loss of life.

 

That would make you what?

A sycophantic fool?

Something worse?

No.
Something better.

 

Not without boxcar-loads of dead bodies, you can't.

And you think that the coming climate change won't create more than boxcar-loads of bodies?
How deep is the sand you have sunk you head into?

 

And you think that the coming climate change won't create more than boxcar-loads of bodies?

Yes, I do believe a "coming climate change" won't create more than boxcar-loads of bodies.

Even if, what gives you -- or anyone else -- the right to choose which, at my expense?

Please review the graph I posted above:

What has your efforts, and my money, achieved?

 

No.
Something better.

So, following my lead makes you something better?

I agree.

 

Yes, I do believe a "coming climate change" won't create more than boxcar-loads of bodies.

Then you know nothing about what climate change is likely to do.
But that's not surprising I suppose.

What is it with the damn ad hominems?

Are you ever successful with this line of argument?

Arguing that your opponent is stupid and evil is not persuasive.

 

What is it with the damn ad hominems?

Just following your lead.

Arguing that your opponent is stupid and evil is not persuasive.

Not stupid and evil, just ignorant.

 

Just following your lead.

Sorry, I cannot claim credit -- or responsibility -- for your lack of ability to present rational arguments.

 

Energy transition is failing...

Nasser said alternative energy sources have been unable to displace hydrocarbons at scale, despite the world investing more than $9.5 trillion over the past two decades. Wind and solar currently supply less than 4% of the world’s energy, while total electric vehicle penetration is less than 3%, he said.

Meanwhile, the share of hydrocarbons in the global energy mix has barely fallen in the 21st century from 83% to 80%, Nasser said. Global demand has increased by 100 million barrels of oil equivalent per day during the same period and will reach an all-time high this year, the CEO said.

Emphasis mine.

These days, I'll trust the facts of a petroleum company's CEO over that of any activist's fairy dust. In the mean time, oil ain't going nowhere.

 

 

Doomed.

Because of these challenges, Obama Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz last week predicted that utilities will ultimately have to rely more on gas, coal and nuclear plants to support surging demand. “We’re not going to build 100 gigawatts of new renewables in a few years,” he said. No kidding.

The problem is that utilities are rapidly retiring fossil-fuel and nuclear plants. “We are subtracting dispatchable [fossil fuel] resources at a pace that’s not sustainable, and we can’t build dispatchable resources to replace the dispatchable resources we’re shutting down,” Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioner Mark Christie warned this month.

About 20 gigawatts of fossil-fuel power are scheduled to retire over the next two years—enough to power 15 million homes—including a large natural-gas plant in Massachusetts that serves as a crucial source of electricity in cold snaps. PJM’s external market monitor last week warned that up to 30% of the region’s installed capacity is at risk of retiring by 2030.

Some plants are nearing the end of their useful life-spans, but an onslaught of costly regulation is the bigger cause. A soon-to-be-finalized Environmental Protection Agency rule would require natural-gas plants to install expensive and unproven carbon capture technology.

I want to know which officials are going to be held accountable for what will be a growing number of hypothermia deaths in the coming winters.

It's your life they have in their hands, and they don't care if you lose it (broken eggs and all that...).

 

The Tyranny of Energy Density

...if Boeing were trying to replace jet fuel with batteries in the 737-700, it would need about 1.6 million kilograms of lithium-ion batteries. Put another way, to fuel a jetliner like the 737-700 with batteries would require a battery pack that weighs about 21 times as much as the airplane itself.

In other words, you can't get there from here -- no matter how much fairy dust you try to replace oil with.

You just need to use your imagination for magical solutions.

You simply mix BS pseudoscience with utopian nonsense for the solution.

Note: until now, it was considered that we already passed "peak helium".

 

And the bees are back, too.

Catastrophe averted!
