[Master Thread] Environmentalism, Climate Change, etc.

[Boiler 45,445]

I think it is because CA has very high electricity prices and they vary according to demand, amusingly Wendy's is doing the same.

 

It seems to be there that the norm is grid tied and no battery, well it has been.

 

I also saw something that the Government requires you to be grid tied, you can not say to to Electrical Company take a hike, you have to have a feed.

Think You're Helping the Environment With Your Electric Car?  Guess Again!

 

[...] a recently resurfaced study debunks the theory that electric cars are environmentally friendly.  The findings suggest that electric vehicles emit more toxic particles into the atmosphere, making them more harmful to the environment than their gas-powered equivalents.  [...]

Fascinating article.  Comments about the findings?  (The environmental whackos will probably all say, "Then blow up Mars!  Save the planet!")

Surprise!  The Cause of Climate Change Is... Mars?

 

This might come as a bit of a disappointment to the devotees of the Climate Goddess.  Some astronomists and researchers have been doing what those sorts of eggheads typically do, studying variations in planetary orbits in our solar system.  They recently published their results in respected science journals and some of their conclusions are quite remarkable.  It turns out that the orbits of the Earth and Mars interact in a predictable cycle as the planets make their way endlessly around the sun.  And those interactions produce measurable effects on our planet.  Among those are cyclical changes in the shape of our orbit and they seem to coincide with historical periods where global temperatures have exhibited fluctuations.  [...]

Sharing Socialist Pain:  Besides Mandating EVs, CA Gonna to Stick It To Anyone Using Electricity

 

[...] All the state does in response to the ensuing and entirely predictable snafus is play whack-a-mole.

Witness their latest plan for "restructuring" their skyrocketing electric bills in order to make them more "equitable."  And, yes - kilowatts apparently behave differently depending on what socio-economic strata the walls they come through are built for.

Bet you didn't know that.  [...]

Faster, Higher, ... Hotter?  Paris Olympics Denies Athletes Air Conditioning Due to 'Climate Change'

Great news, world-class athletes.  The Paris Olympics has added a new event for this summer's games.

Heat stroke.

Yes, in an effort to further bend the knee to whiny teenager Greta Thunberg, the Paris Olympics declared that no athletes will have access to air-conditioning in an effort to make this year's games the 'most sustainable Olympics ever.'

 

Quick reminder:  The Paris Olympics will take place from July 26 - August 11.

Second reminder:  Last summer, when all of Europe was hit by a heat wave, more than 5,000 people died from the heat in France when temperatures often exceeded 100 degrees.  [...]

Nearly 5 million animals dead in Mongolia's harshest winter in half a century, aid agencies say

Mongolia is freezing through its harshest winter in half a century with extreme conditions killing more than 4.7 million animals and threatening the livelihoods and food supply of thousands of people, the International Federation of the Red Cross has warned.

 

The severe conditions, known as dzud, are characterized by plunging temperatures and deep snow and ice that blanket grazing areas and cut off access to food for livestock.

About 300,000 people in Mongolia are traditional nomadic herders and depend on their cattle, goats and horses for food and to sell at market.

"For those people who are totally dependent on their livestock to survive, they have become destitute in just a few months," Alexander Matheou, IFRC Regional Director for Asia Pacific, told CNN Thursday.  "Some of them are now no longer able to feed themselves or heat their homes."  [...]

Next Up for the Climate Hysterics:  Meat and Dairy

 

[...] there's one big drawback to meat production, according to the climate nannies.  Cows eat a lot of grass, which fattens them up very nicely but also causes their digestive tract to produce a lot of flatulence.  The cow farts contain a lot of methane, which is very, very, very bad for Planet Earth.

 

So we're told.

Soon, we'll be seeing "peak livestock emissions."  I guess when that happens, no one should light any matches outdoors.

"We need to see major changes in livestock production and consumption — really deep and rapid changes over the next decade," said Helen Harwatt, an environmental social scientist and lead author of a survey report on livestock emissions.  [...]

Oh HAIL No:  Storm Destroys Texas Solar Panels, Dashes Dreams of Green Energy

 

While the Biden administration pushes green energy, there are a lot of people who have legitimate concerns over the reliability of making the grid green.

Recent storms in Texas have absolutely obliterated a field of solar panels.  Which means they can't function.  Which means no power.  [...]
