New Climate Change Report

This ignores a few things. A large portion of China's renewables are Hydro. On the wind side of things Chinese installed wind capacity typically underperforms significantly compared to the US due to a few factors such as poor siting, and bad technology.

It's also easier for them to just jam turbines wherever cause they can just take the land needed. While much of the optimal space in the US is privately owned so it takes a little more to get a project off the ground.

I work in wind and we are working almost beyond capacity to keep up with turbine demands. Last year was the biggest year ever in North America for my company.

Right on brother. We’ve got a ton of mills popping up in VT. All along the “blue” hills around Rutland. Even southern VT is kicking it into gear and installing a bunch of turbines along the ridges. I think Jiminy Peak in Western mass is mostly green powered. And they will be 100% in a few years.

just curious how Hydro comes into play. That’s basically dammed rivers ?

You trolling?

An independent intergovernmental panel consisting of the worlds' leading expert scientists came together to reinforce and reiterate a consensus illustrating that is backed up by increasingly better data and understanding to say that we're fucked like they've been warning for decades is supposed to lead straight to the end goal of oppressive authoritarian governments everywhere.

This climate change shit is about power and government control in how big money interests lobby and control governments (America especially) in order to exploit more resources in the name of profit. We're in a reality where the natural world around us will deteriorate for decades largely due to corporations not being checked by government. Donating to politicians and lobbying have huge financial returns and youre dumb as fuck if you really those returns end up benefitting average people or the natural world.

Dude youre a joke.

Thinking we cant undo climate change is like thinking we cant get rid of garbage.

if you bumped up the Oxygen levels in the atmosphere you could start cooling the planet immediately.

humans need to be pragmatic and work with the problem, not freak out and say we are fucked and try to mutilate our fucking civilization with authoritarian hippy shit.

This sounds like a satirical essay I wrote in 9th grade about how we could stop global warming by opening all the worlds' refrigerators and running them on high 24/7. I wanna believe in a few years you'll gain critical thinking ability beyond the average 12 year old but I don't think you will given how much you stroke yourself over your own supposed iq

Would you like to give us a tldr on how increasing oxygen levels would start to cool the planet immediately?

Like the user above said, all we gotta do is open our refrigerators and create more oxygen, its that simple.

"No dad! I WILL leave the door open with the ac on becuase we NEED to cool the outdoors!"

Yes, you should feel bad about your own personal carbon footprint, since that is the only thing you have control over and big corporations will only care about their impact once all of their customers do. It is a small impact, but once all of the consumers have electric cars then BP can start cleaning up their oil spills.

Idk why they just don't turn the diesel generators on in the wind turbines and use them as big fans to cool the planet down

Ok, I'll stop farting then. Thank you

Theoretically you could backfeed electricity from the grid and turn the rotor the opposite direction. When there is no wind there is actually a tiny amount of consumption on a wind farm. Maybe I should do an NS AMA on wind turbines.

So to be able to surf the on the great lakes during the summer minnesota just has to turn on all their turbines? Easy.

I definetly did not work in the industry, but we had quite a few big ones on are land. Turbines are cool shit

I knew how a fridge worked when i was in second grade, and that conservation of energy was a thing.

Youre saying that u were in 9th grade in this country and you thought a fridge could just cool the earth by, like, deleting energy, or something?

when you took an iq test, did the score come back with a reading of “NO” ?

if i was in 9th grade and thought refrigerators could solve global warming i would have to be a pretty enormous asshole to try to talk down to somebody whos placenta had a higher iq than i did.

I didnt realize you didnt have arms. My bad.

because if you had arms you could do this in about 6.5 seconds.

[dolanslebensraum]

And if some of you want to know why im ignoring your typical “lets go shopping at the mall and text eachother about how to fight climate change by shoving dead batteries up our asses” teenybopper posts…

its because you dont deserve to have attention paid to you, and you would have to be an asshole to think you did.

Great, so how are we going to pump enough oxygen into our atmosphere to result in a 6% change, "instantly", as you said, without continuing to contribute to the problem?

Seems like if this was such a good idea, that everyone would be doing it.

What I think is more likely, is that you read the title of an article, didn't read any of the science, and then made some dumb claim that we could instantly cool the planet by just flipping a switch and changing the composition of our atmosphere.

lmao cmon man you have got to be trolling, you can't seriously be this fucking stupid

you are talked down to because you come in to a thread, spout bullshit, play this cartman character using nazi language to be edgy, and then pretend to be the smartest person on the site. Intelligent people don't have to tell other people they're smart all the time because its evident.

For the record, I learned how a fridge worked my junior year of college when I took thermo. In comparison, you've never learned what a satirical essay is

its some dedicated trolling. im pissed about smoke and shit air quality preventing me go outside to burn some energy. its an easy way to vent

The wildfire smoke has been so shitty here in Colorado. Its been almost a month of not being able to see a blue sky.
