    regarding flooding, UK needs to give room for rivers to naturally flood on their floodplain like they do in the Netherlands, by restricting development. A wide scale reintroduction of beavers in suitable areas will also help slow down large amounts of water and is a cheaper solution than traditional flood defenses

    Too many houses were built on flood-risk areas. There seems to be a love affair in the UK with low-density housing in the countryside, but this needs to change. The government should make it easier for developers to construct high-density housing (apartment buildings) in urban centres which are not at risk of flooding and which are close to amenities.

    • @ninemoonplanet
      @ninemoonplanet 2 года назад

      Unfortunately the high-rise buildings are too often made with concrete, a material that begins with high levels of pollution, water, and sand that close to complete loss. Add in dark facades, often made of various plastics (Grenfell) and heated by using natural gas.
      There ARE far better alternatives to all these materials.
      Developers want fast, cheap and very profitable buildings sold at higher prices.
      Basically those buildings are the human version of chicken coops.

    I think we need to distinguish clearly between climate change and pollution. The former cannot be "controlled" whereas the latter can be.
    Practically speaking, there is no way we can prevent floods, hurricanes, tsunamis and tornadoes from happening. But there is a lot we can do to reduce pollution.
    The sad fact is that, no matter how much activists protest and talk, there is always more plastic in the supermarket, always more paper in our mailboxes (loads of unsolicited ads), always more and more people buying new cars with all the latest features, more and more planes criss-crossing the skies.Always more and more people buying the latest smartphones, tablets and computers.
    And few think about where all the old phones, Ipads and computers end up. They are NOT biodegradable.
    We have an unsatiable appetite for unlimited travel - and all the latest that technology has to offer -- and we want it 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
    Unless we - as a global community - are willing to make some serious changes to our lifestyles, I fear that any talk about climate change is ..... not terribly meaningful.

      Walk to the local stores and markets. Maybe get a bicycle for visiting family and friends.
      Pull up all those lawns, plant food bushes, flowers for pollinators, trees for nuts, fruits, and put in perennial plants that provide food all year.

    You can't tackle "nature", the often forgotten aspect whenever "climate change" is discussed.
    The sun rises and sets each day, this is called the "day cycle" ... a period of light and warmth followed by dark and cold.
    The sun also proceeds north then south, the "seasonal cycle" bringing warmth then cold.
    The sun goes through a "solar cycle" in which it outputs a higher frequency of energy "solar maximum" before descending to a lower output "solar minimum" ... which operates on a period of about 11 years.
    These are observable cycles, you can observe longer cycles outside of this i.e. in the 1750s the period between the solar maximum & solar minimum where much longer, since the mid-1800s the period has decreased.
    The fact these cycles are ignored, "climate scientists" often parroted by the media point only at the chemical composition of the atmosphere > the claim that only man could effect that.
    Also, given "world leaders" only seem to care about "climate change" when trying to enforce some thing upon the people they "govern", their motives should be questioned i.e. "world leaders" so concerned about "climate change" yet travel on their own private aircrafts, splurging money on supporting technology [wind, solar, battery] that require significant resources to be extracted from the earth or the tearing down of trees & greenland [which ironically are the solution to "excess" CO2] to make way for "high-speed" trains which the average person will likely never use.
    The climate on earth has always changed, regardless of man, it will continue to change again regardless of what man does ...

    1,5C is just not possible. Not even with IPCC's own report.
    Best IPCC scenario was 1,4C and that included many flaws. Starting line was 2015 and after that we have already emitted 5,5 years more carbon with 8.5 pathway adding around 0,1C to IPCC's model the temperature (ie. here said 1,2C which is 0,1C higher than IPCC's used 1,1C). Aerosols are pretty messed up in lower scenarios. IPCC says 0,4C aerosol cooling currently and when we pahse out fossil burning that means 0,4C warming leading to 1,5C alone. Then IPCC added 300-500GtCO2e to the mix, so all their emission pathways stays on positive signs... And they even say "Additional ecosystem responses to warming not yet fully included in climate models, such as CO2 and CH4 fluxes from wetlands, permafrost thaw and wildfires, would further increase concentrations of these gases in the atmosphere (high confidence). {5.4, Box TS.5, TS.3.2}". Most non-linear responses are not there and we have already gone over Amazon rainforest tipping point where the forest can no longer inhale carbon, but instead emits it (2 studies in 2021). IPCC has even chosen industrial era 1850-1900 to their preindustrial starting point (because it has better data, but still). And then there's around 1600GtCO2e of uncertainties which could mean max. around 0,5C warming (or unlikely cooling).
    So IPCC has made political reasoning and made the data look like we have a chance for 1,5C. But if you read what I said, that's only a politically needed lie.
    When adding a low tipping element forcings you'll soon end up to a world over 3,0C warming by 2100 and likely 2,0C by 2050. And that's where I think we are going even if we try to avoid further heating.

    I think we can use ram pumps to solve the energy crisis. First we build a hollow cylindrical tower out at sea, to a depth of say 1100m. The tower is open to the air at the top and has a sealed base at the bottom. We drill a hole about 20m below the surface and feed water into the tower. The water falls down a pipe for about 200m where it powers a turbine that is connected to an electricity generator. We collect the water and drop it down a pipe for another 200m to another turbine. We do this twice more until we are getting electricity from four generators.
    We then drop the water another 200m to power a turbine which drives a cog that is geared to turn a disc at the base of the tower. The waste water from the last turbine starts to collect at the bottom of the tower creating a shallow reservoir that we need to pump out.
    The rotating disc at the base of the tower has cams along its edge. These cams are used to push pistons outwards. These pistons are in cylinders built into the wall in a circular formation. The cylinders are sealed at the interior side apart from where a piston rod enters to push the piston outward. The outside of the piston head is exposed to the deep sea water.
    The cam will push the piston outward against the high pressure deep sea water. An inlet pipe will take water from our shallow reservoir which will be pulled into the space created in the cylinder, behind the piston head. When the cam releases the piston, the low pressure water inside the cylinder will be the only thing pushing the piston out against the high pressure deep sea water.
    This is when the system acts as a ram pump.
    The piston will be forced inward and will force the low pressure water back out through the inlet pipe toward the reservoir. The inlet pipe will now act the same as a waste pipe in a ram pump and the flowing water will shut a waste valve. The remaining water in the cylinder will be forced through a check valve into a pipe and upwards to the surface.
    The larger the diameter of the tower, the more cylinders that can be built into the wall at the base of the tower.
    I realise that the ram pump cylinder will pump more of its water back into the reservoir than it sends to the surface but we can always add more cylinders to the system. We can even put another layer of cylinders above the original ones as ram pumps still work underneath shallow water.
    I think we should be able to pump water upwards at the same rate that it falls into the bottom of the tower and so keep the reservoir nice and shallow.
    Now, if I understand the maths correctly, we might only be able to pump the water near to the surface. In that case, we can pump the water into a reservoir tank (inside the tower) and use the electricity generated by the first turbine to pump out the tank.
    This will leave us with 3 generators worth of electricity for every tower built.
    Would this work? Everyone, please comment.
