Aussie Firefighters Warn of Lithium Battery Vehicle Fire Danger

Mike Gallagher, CEO of Ports Australia - You can't put them out. So you can imagine it on the street if you can't put them out, imagine them on a vessel out at sea or in a port.Re Posted From: Aussie Firefighters Warn of Lithium Battery Vehicle Fire DangerWatts Up With That . . . [More]

The Strongest Atmospheric River on Record for the Gulf of Alaska?

This atmospheric river is predicted to hit land as an AR-5, the strongest level observed.  We can be thankful that the center of the river will make landfall north of Washington State, where only AR-2 levels should occur on the northern Olympic Coast.Re Posted From: The Strongest Atmospheric River on Record for the Gulf of Alaska?Watts Up With That . . .

No, Daily Climate, People Need Protection from Higher Energy Costs and Weather, Not Climate Change

Handing even more power to government and more subsidized housing will not solve the problem of homelessness. It’s been done for decades and the issue has only become more severe, it has not improved. Fossil fuels for electricity and materials have made human civilizations far more resilient in the face of the fickle nature of the weather, and as long as markets for energy are not limited or constrained by government climate policy, they will continue to do so. All of this is true regardless of climate change, but even on that point, The Dail . . . [More]

Why There Will Never Be A Zero Emissions Electricity System Powered Mainly By Wind And Sun

he reason is that the intermittency of wind and solar generators means that they require full back-up from some other source. But the back-up source will by hypothesis be woefully underused and idle most of the time so long as most of the electricity comes from wind and sun. No back-up source can possibly be economical under these conditions, and therefore nobody will develop and deploy such a source.Re Posted From: Why There Will Never Be A Zero Emissions Electricity System Powered Mainly By Wind And SunWatts Up With That . . .

Climate Change Weekly #519: Climate Negotiations on Hold, Pending U.S. Elections

Despite advance agreement on the main topic of the conference, it seems the negotiations have gotten bogged down, in no large part because the payor countries are uncertain what the United States will do or what role it will play if Donald Trump gets reelected as president. The United Nations and most developing countries have argued over the years that the United States, as the biggest source of historical carbon dioxide emissions, should pay the most for climate reparations, mitigation, and adaptation.

Swiss Alpine Photovoltaic System Begins to Crumble After Just 2 Years

Already, just 2 years in operation, 270 panels (5%) of the Muttsee project need to be replaced, and that at an exorbitant cost. Just check out the Axpo promotion video and take a look at the equipment needed to build the project. The helicopters, cranes, rigging and this caliber of personnel aren’t cheap.Re Posted From: Swiss Alpine Photovoltaic System Begins to Crumble After Just 2 YearsWatts Up With That . . . [More]

Academic Echo Chambers and the Myth of Behavioral Spillover in Climate Action

In sum, the real driver here is political and ideological alignment, not individual behaviors influencing policy support. The authors, caught in their academic bubble, overlook the obvious: people who buy into the climate crisis narrative will support all the policies and behaviors at once—not as a result of any behavioral spillover, but because they see it all as part of the same belief system.Re Posted From: Academic Echo Chambers and the Myth of Behavioral Spillover in Climate ActionWatts Up With That . . .

“Exxon Knew”: More Rebuttal (again)

A half century later, the IPCC is still trying to update and figure out physical climate science. Exxon did not do a study on the benefits of CO2 or the offset of sulfur dioxide emissions. The concern way back then was Global Cooling, Peak Oil, and Peak Gas. And as the company knew, fossil fuels had no viable substitute, as in wind and solar.Re Posted From: “Exxon Knew”: More Rebuttal (again)Watts Up With That . . . [More]
