Plug-in hybrids are fake electric cars, built for lab tests and tax breaks, not real driving.I have come to this conclusion a while ago. And the buyers know this, I believe many of them don't even bother to plug the car to an outlet. The scam is the tax break, they just buy a high-end SUV for a discount.
As far as the climate is concerned, in order to limit the rise in global temperature below 2°C, which is the objective of the Paris agreement, global greenhouse gas emissions must be divided by 3 by 2050, i.e. a decrease of about 4% per year (starting today) over the next 30 years. And you want to do this with wind turbines, photovoltaic panels and electric batteries? You know that your program is going to require you to burn a lot of coal and oil to try to make these tools, that you will cause serious pollution to extract and transform the necessary metals, and you won't be able to do it. I'm going to watch you do it and carefully note the progress you will make every year, I remind you of the challenge: minus 4% per year from now on, GO!A. I actually think this should be done over 20 years instead of 30. We do not have that much time and environment left. But note I am not saying this will be done, just that it can be done. Political and social reasons (and human stupidity) probably mean that it will not be done.
I would like to hear your comments to what you see?I cannot elaborate as much as Tor, but, it seems to me the tributaries on the right play a role in determining the calving position by exerting pressure on the ice shelf, and I also wonder why then and now the last holdout is the middle left of the glacier. I also note the longitudinal channels (on the left) play a small role in the outline of the breakup.
100% renewable electricity at no extra cost, a piece of cake?It's all in the assumptions, a very biased article, pro-nuclear, anti-renewables.
And here we're only talking about the production of electricity, not the overall consumption of energy in France.

They found that Jakobshavn Isbrae lost more than 1.5 trillion tonnes of ice between 1880-2012, while Kangerlussuaq and Helheim lost 1.4 trillion and 31 billion tonnes from 1900–2012, respectively.I find weird that these are the three largest glaciers in Greenland. Petermann? Zachariae? Humboldt? What criteria?
Working from home meant that many people were saving on everyday costs such as travel, lunch, clothes and cleaning, as well as possibly spending less on socializing. However, the report also said it meant remote workers were "contributing less to the infrastructure of the economy whilst still receiving its benefits."I shudder at this. For years it was believed that teleworking will reduce unnecessary travel, and with it traffic jams and more importantly, GHG emissions and other pollutants. Now that by some "magic" event many people have finally switched to teleworking, the government is trying to tax them out of it.
Templeman said remote workers should pay a levy post-pandemic "in order to smooth the transition process for those who have suddenly been displaced" by the coronavirus crisis.
A studyAs far as my understanding goes, the methane bomb refers to methane emissions from marine sources, mainly the ESAS.Quotepermafrost and non-permafrost environments in Siberia with different biogeochemical conditions in river valleys, thermokarst lakes, wetlands, and lowlands.
These findings do not support the "methane bomb" concept.
The CAATEX projectCross posting an article about this project and the recent retrieval, easily readable in google translate.
The Larsen D Ice Shelf is between Smith Peninsula in the south and Gipps Ice Rise. It is considered to be generally stable. Over roughly the past fifty years it has advanced (expanded) whereas comparable George VI, Bach, Stange, and Larsen C ice shelves have retreated (to a much greater net extent). The most recent survey of Larsen D measured it at 22,600 km2. There is fast ice along the entire front. This makes it difficult to interpret the ice front because the semi-permanent sea ice varies in thickness and may be nearly indistinguishable from shelf ice.
FWIW, my own opinion about 2007 is to agree with you from a different basis. It seems to me that the loss of multi-year ice in 2007 either reflected or helped initiate systemic changes in the ASI system. Various posts in the forum have described how, even though 2012 gets most of the attention since it holds the records, that when looked at from different points of view, 2007 was the Big Year. I have no hope of remembering in which thread, but (I think it was) Oren or BFTV who put up a post this summer listing losses from September to September which showed that when viewed from that time frame, 2007 outdistanced every other year for losses. So that's a second (but also not statistically validated) observation to lend weight to your proposition.Indeed, here is an expanded version of that post which is found upthread. As my PIOMAS Excel is built around Wipneus data, the following only looks at daily data since 2000.
How much further down this road will the Right Wing go?I fear "all the way" is the answer.
