Green electricity isn't enough to curb global warming
UPI ^ | June 26, 2018 | by Brooks Hays

The adoption of clean energies to power electric grids won't be sufficient to meet the Paris climate targets established by the United Nations.

According to new research, the continued use of fossil fuels for a variety of industrial processes, to power vehicles and heat buildings, is likely to push CO2 emissions beyond manageable levels.

"We focused on the role of fossil fuel emissions that originate in industries like cement or steel making, fuel our transport sector from cars to freight to aviation and goes into heating our buildings," Shinichiro Fujimori, researcher for Environmental Studies and Kyoto University in Japan, said in a news release. "These sectors are much more difficult to decarbonize than our energy supply, as there are no such obvious options available as wind and solar electricity generation."

Researchers argue that climate pledges made by individual countries must be strengthened sooner rather than later in order to prevent continued investments in fossil fuel infrastructure, investments that lock in continued CO2 emissions.

How about those volcanoes. We could use al gore, Rosie O’Duhdonell, and Shrillary to serve as a stoppers on Hawaii and few of the others.

Use your REAL science and demonstrate factual numbers that PROVE anything the entire race of Man can do or not do that could possibly alter the climate in any SIGNIFICANT (not microscopic) way. Not local weather but planetary climate that invokes SIGNIFICANT change for millions of years.

No kidding? Well... we should raise taxes on America so we can afford to move the earth's orbit a few feet further from the Sun.

The activity of undersea Artic ocean volcanoes and “smokers” have more to do with the amount and thickness of ice than atmospheric temperatures. The Russians were right about this phenomena.

I forgot where I read there are over 11,000 active volcanoes in the pacific ocean.

No, we’re going to have to take all Whitey’s money, and then kill Whitey.

Solar panels do work great
I put in two systems a week
It’s the basis of the marxists dreams yes and there’s tons of fraudulent “ free solar “ liars. But they do work great and last forever
Been doing it 30 years now. Interesting to watch the changes

What a clueless twit…. wind and solar make virtually zero contribution to ‘decarbonizing an energy supply’.

What they really mean is “The only thing that will stop global warming is socialism.”

Read this report from the National Energy Testing Laboratory:

https://www.netl.doe.gov/energy-analyses/temp/ReliabilityandtheOncomingWaveofRetiringBaseloadUnitsVolumeITheCriticalRoleofThermalUnits_031318.pdf

BLUF: Solar and wind electricity production FELL during the early 2018 cold snap. Without coal & to a lesser extent natural gas — the grid would have melted down, resulting in some ugly blackout scenarios.

Yeah, I know. Because it won't affect the climate one way or the other.
