Climate Change

[raisingarizona13]

Too many damn people. The energy/climate situation is a tough one to accept for the responsible breeders.

Conventional power plants are MUCH uglier.. And MUCH more polluting.. Fuck that jizz

Nuclear facilities are prettier than farms, solar, or conventional power plants.

Okay maybe not, but they do produce way more energy and are our greenest option. In my opinion they are the only way out of this. We certainly aren’t going to conserve our way out of this and while other renewables are a piece of the puzzle, they aren’t up to supporting 7 billion humans.

Georgia guidestones. Let’s go. You first.

I have 11k sq ft of commercial black rubber roof that’s now covered in 125kw solar. I’m pretty sure that’s better than the rubber. Some energy is being sucked out into the grid.

If your rubber roof can’t be solar, you can always paint it white with RV paint.
But go solar I say.

And nuclear is needed. Grew up next to one. Finally decommissioned. End of life. Yeah there’s spent rods and the land is fucked but it’s a small footprint.

100 miles away protesters blocking a new nat gas peaker. Proposed right next to two peakers. And I bet those protesters are all EV. Wtf.

Electricity ain’t cheap and it ain’t free.

That explains a lot.

I'm confused.

Does Airhead think that solar panels are creating heat and thereby heating the planet?

What's the mechanism for this?

And is that 5/6 number just reflected heat?

If you covered every square inch of the planet with current “ Black “Solar panels it would be unlivable because of temperature increase. Until the lighter color panels are widespread I would suggest putting up an equal or greater amount of reflective surface area. Panels do add heat to the surrounding area.

I am not anti solar per se but currently people don’t think it through. I’ve installed some hydro systems. No PV experience. read the 5/6 number as heat given off the panel the balance is converted to useable energy . They’re around 18-20% efficient.

Eagerly awaiting your passionate eulogy to all the species made extinct by mankind from sources other than solar and wind farming

Ok

Every energy mechanism has problems.
Hopefully people can be smart enough to recognize relative merits and sort them appropriately.

I know solar panels produce heat, but I haven't seen a relative comparison to the cumulative effects as compared to fossil fuels. And relative to coal, nuclear power plants produce less radioactivity.

I've always thought that the aesthetic argument is a poor one relative to the functional one.

Exactly. And they all have unintended impacts. But the impacts are fractional compared to oil and coal.

But here we are as usual.

Focused on blowing up those slices and ignoring the bushel barrels and giant coal train hoppers reaping hell upon us.

Carry on.

The birds will adapt (they’re little fucking dinosaurs right?). The sky is big, they can fly around. Ever try to run over a bird with your car? They know the deal.

Birds aren’t real

We’ve been over this topic many times.

[altacoup]

Is a farm of corn planted in rows really that pretty? Is the water that flows off that land filled with mud and silt pretty? If you think that is awesome move to Iowa. Newsflash. Nobody wants to live here. The rivers are the most polluted in the nation from those row crops. It is one of the reason this place has been infiltrated by majority brainwashed morons. People with half a brain have and will continue to leave this shithole state.

A farm converted to solar produces 70 times the energy of the same size farm gowning corn that is converted to ethanol...which makes up a huge chunk of the corn acres planted in Iowa. So imagine driving by huge chunks of land that is reforested with prairie and swamps and wildlife because we aren't wasting it trying to get energy from ethanol, instead using a far smaller amount of land to meet our energy needs with solar and returning that land used to grow ethanol to capture carbon naturally.

No brainer.

And nothing is uglier than a mountain range exploding in out of control fires fueled by the effects of climate change.

Another newsflash. The corn belt isn't immune to fires. And when we burn, our food burns. And some ethanol corn but nobody will miss that garbage.

Why not just hide the panels behind a few rows of corn? Then the idiots don’t have to see it.

I smashed a bird deep into the grill of my Dodge 2500 Cummings work truck a few weeks back. Luckily that poor little bastard was DOI for sure. I had the cruise control set on 69.

And yeah, birds are just tiny Russian and Chinese drones but strangely the one in my grill stank like a small rotting carcass for about a week. That technology is mind-blowing.

Jesus could still see them though, and

Attachment 422285

Well, dinosaur bones and fossil fuels are simply Satans tricks to keep us guessing and hopefully unfaithful. Think about this and your choices the next time your snorting a giant white caterpillar off some Mexican whores tits you filthy bastards.

Besides all of this Jesus does keep me safe and that's why I prefer unprotected sex with Mexican whores. Have faith my friends. Fuck though, it sure burns like fire every time I pee.....wtf is up with that?

If we want to save birds the first thing we need to do is get rid of cats.

[teletech]

When I mentioned solar panels looking hideous I was talking a farm in western Maine by the white mtns. It is 50 acres of mirrors, ugly as fuck. They tried to convert an old apple orchard next town over to solar panels. Neighbors threw a fit and it got shot down.
Iowa, Nebraska, put as many solar panels as possible. They are butt ugly in pretty places though.

[SumJongGuy]

Oil spills TRUMP dead birds and flashy mirror solar panels for UGLY and killing things. How many people have been killed in wars fighting over oil?? Add in some natural gas explosions good times!

Five years later, Europe is on fire

[WMD]

And it's a La Niña year, which makes it cooler than it would be otherwise. Next El Niño is going to be eye opening and very bad.

Periodically our village idiot posts SM lies like this one, and it amuses me how quickly they can be debunked. https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...isnt-real.html

In this case of CS idiocy, the 5 second Google wasn’t even necessary. Just look at the maps & you can figure out they are apples and oranges.

Please don't quote the moran.

Oops sorry. I’m usually pretty good at avoiding the Moran quotes. Time for another coffee.

Meh. I couldn’t bother with googles.

So, are the 2017 temps accurate? 36c is hot but not drastic

I posted it only because of the latest color map.
22 and 24 are red now. If it’s legit. Who knows.

For the record, I firmly believe the climate is fucked, and we fucked it up.

Carry on. And eat bugs.
