Climate Change in Australia (Part 1)

I reckon they’re great. Love the ingenuity in it.

And molten salt retains heat for use after the sun goes down and can provide stored energy for base load.

They are the reason, “Solar cannot provide base load power” statements are a crock o’ shitte.

A few birds might get fried, … but it’s about the same rate as get hit by wind turbine blades,. eg: not a lot.

There was a fairly high incidence at one in the US, but it turned out that was mainly due to poorly aligned mirrors, & birds generally avoid the things due to the heat and brightness. IIRC.

Yep, been some good studies into the bird issue. Jeez the fossil brigade are out and about online today. Attacking the hell out of anything to do with this and the pollution reports on Australian coal plants. You know they’re worried when they get mobilised like that.

There have been all sorts of issues with tracking the sun on mass demand. That’s why the PV solar farms are now all fixed instead of tracking. Less maintenance and cheaper to build.

Better than coal though.

I’m back for the time being, just got the choice given to me, go off thinners and get a pacemaker and risk a stroke, flip of the coin. Everybody has to die some time.

Best of luck, man.

I’m glad to have you back! Hopefully it works out well for you. Also hope you have a good cardiologist.

Head of cardiology at St Vinnies.

All the best

Glad you are in good hands!

Lol !

If you think that making the top twenty world economies pay for the environmental damage they have done to the whole world is communism then you are not that clever.

I thought all this was about saving the planet for the future not an extortion racket to enrich scammers, merchant banks, corrupt scietists, tinpot dictators and failed socialist states.

And seriously sorfed, I can also troll the www and find quotes or memes to suit my agenda.
Why don’t you instead of making vague and idiotic points.

Maybe you should just call it what it is ? Denial of climate change.
Nobody has ever denied climate change, it was the sceptics who first used the term when the Chicken Littles and bedwetters went from panicking about global cooling in the 70’s to global warming in the 80’s. The Alarmists change their terminology in the early 2000’s when it became obvious the warming had stopped. Almost 20 years now, and as I pointed out the UAH satellites temperature now +0.28C as low as it was in 1988.

Today I am flying to Cairns for a week in warmer weather. Perhaps I can give you a report on a dying Barrier Reef, or perhaps not as you will deny it has had any changes.
The GBR always changes, we have been told it has doomed every 2-3 years since the 60’s. Crown of Thorns, pollution, bleaching etc. etc… Be interesting to see if the calls of doom coincide with requests for funding.
Anyway enjoy your 4,600km CO2 belching joyride and try not to be racked with guilt on your planet destroying trip.

Well seeing you are on the way out, have a quick trip.

Disgraceful comment. You should be ashamed but I’m guessing not.

Nope not at all, and the same for you.

The world is better off without those who only care about themselves.

Wow

You are embarrassing yourself. You really need to get a grip. Not sure what else to say. You are really coming across as a nasty person.
I’ve seen some ordinary posts on this forum but yours is easily the worst.

Now you are trying to silence his free speech.

With that being said, I wish you good health sorfed, do you have any children/grandchildren?

Not to mention the level of hypocrisy, with his post in relation to Australia day and Yarra council. Mind boggling heartlessness.

Yep I am a very nasty person.

I do not tolerate people like you and sorfed, and you will both die one day. Now Trip is amusing, but you two are a waste of oxygen.

You’ve hit rock bottom Bacchus. Try addressing the argument rather than playing the man.
