    Extraordinarily compelling case is made for more rational thinking on climate change policy. Curious why this 2019 conference took so long to get posted. The rush to massively subsidized renewables has crippled and crushed both Spain and Germany with other countries lined up to follow. Note that China, who’s done nothing to reduce their carbon footprint is singularly benefiting enormously from providing solar, wind and rare earth materials to the rest of the world. Let that sink in.

      It is increasingly difficult to have a civil conversation with climate catastrophe believers. I was all in 15 years ago in believing all the hype. The full court press by the media to propagate this climate hysteria only makes me ask more questions. Is it only propaganda? Is it truthful? Its it factual or opinion?
      I look at the hypocrisy coming from our political leaders as they pretend to know the solutions on affairs they know nothing about is nothing short of alarming. The language being used to fight this boogeyman is getting more desperate all the time. Desperate people make detrimental decisions that have negative consequences. I hope cooler heads prevail and commonsense returns.

      I think this lecture proves the climate change policy has the ulterior motive of restricting the energy usage of the masses with the effect of enslaving them with a lower share of global resources. This means the global elite can live rich lives with almost unlimited resources. Ordinary people are not going to like this, and will be persuaded to live smaller, colder, hungrier lives in order to ‘save the planet’.

    At about 20 mins in, the Prof drops in the comment that - and I paraphrase - "no practical form of change is possible, with whst we understand now, in an acceptably democratic way. Short of War".
    3 years later, all the prerequisites are in place. The irony is too thick to cut.

    2019 Lecture, Nov 2021 posted to RUclips, 500+ views and zero comments at the start of April 2022, and it is profoundly important and extremely instructive.
    We are in a GSM and the worldwide weather extremes are consistent with pause in warming out of the last ice age minimum, torrential rain and flooding and dam breaches and interruption of sowing and reaping of crops expected when water and clouds are understood to be major variables of surface temperature (and not CO2) while the increase in earthquakes and volcanic eruptions mirror those recorded during the Maunder and Dalton Minimums.
    Regardless of long term planetary surface temperature rising, level or decreasing we get from this presentation that widespread nuclear power stations will be necessary as soon as possible and their construction needed to commence now.
    The delusion that mankind is in charge of the climate is set to go the way of other barking mad errors like, the earth is flat, life spontaneously pops out of slime and ooze, disease is caused by really bad smells and combustion releases stuff called phlogiston.

      Phlogiston was by no means a "mad" error. An error, alright, but it wasn't mad to uphold it at the time, given the circumstances. Just because successing theories appear to be 'closer to the truth', former theories don't become 'mad'. It's just anachronistically to claim this

    PEACE AND LOVE failed, and now war and fear fail. What lesson can we get our of this? On which ever side we stand to be right when we give the image to be perfect; to be wrong and give the image we are perfect?.Both have the same type of results, just as much as tears of joy taste the same as tears of sorrow.
    If we intend to create problems, even when doing so not consciously, we can surround ourselves with dysfunctions, and have our narratives and actions backfire: it is hard to appreciate that embracing positive perfection is socially and mentally harmful:; to agree and integrate this simple principle would see major interactive improvements.
    Non-scientific Humanities are less and less available. Another aspect is that anyone good at maths, at exponential formulas, has the abstractive ability to deal with Philosophies. It does not help when Scientists want to give an illusion of total domination as was radical superstition in the past. Toxic gurus, of all kinds, use generic darkness when aiming at controlling and greed is a faceless part of the conditioning! It is not possible to remain positive without facing darkness, what psychologists call 'shadows'.

    I would argue that for solar and wind and etahnol, at least, it takes more fossil fuel energy to build, maintain and run devices than will ever be returned over the life of the devices. Think of windmills, for example, and the amount of concrete required to anchor them, the mining and making of metal, the drives to sites to maintain, the repair parts. Think of the pollution to make ev batteries and solar cells, and energy required if that pollution were fixed. The renewable advocatea don't account for much of the true energy costs of their pet projects. If we eliminated renewable energy now, fossil fuel use would decline, as well as total energy use. It would be the easiest win ever.

    Prof Kelly is way above my head in his knowledge, but I can understand where he is coming from.
    I have solar panels that I have installed myself, something like 2000 volts. storing the energy in car batteries that I purchased at low cost in a sale. But even where I have cut down as much as I can, second hand [panels etc, I would never say that it is cost effective. I get a lot of power outages. This is where it comes into its own. I can still use the internet ,and watch Tv, when my neighbours sit with candles.

    Oil pollution and the inevitable scarcity of this resource due to the diminishing reserves is the problem. Hiring the most aggressive cretins money could buy to keep control over the rest of the society, will only lead to abuses of power against the creators, the problem solvers, the successful entrepreneurs and the most productive people in the society which in turn leads to decadence if nothing is done about it. To solve the problem I propose the new capacity to organize in groups of commerce and cooperation that will use the clean, safe, abundant and inexpensive energy of water…vertical water displacement or the gravity buoyancy solutions!

    Earth's greenhouse effect is the model of a system always in saturation. A system in saturation can not have any more effect with the addition of more of its active elements. All the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth’s surface is entirely absorbed by greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the surface to add 10°F (5.55°C) to earth's average temperature. After 20 meters from the surface there is no more radiant greenhouse energy. Its further heat transfer is by convection i.e. molecules bumping into each other. This is high school taught science.
    The United Nation's IPCC science report makes it clear it is not discussing active greenhouse gas behavior when in the back of a 200 page report it declares it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20 THOUSAND meters altitude and only at that one altitude! This is a legal back stop to protect the instigators from prosecution of criminal fraud. It can be argued a reasonably high school educated person would know better than to accept the report as being relevant to global warming caused by greenhouse gases because by only sampling greenhouse gases at 20,000 meters altitude the report has made it transparent it is not discussing active greenhouse gas behavior or earth's greenhouse effect. Such legal back stops are common when misrepresenting products through vague wordings. Such items as a beverage labeled "All Natural Fruit Drink Flavor" might be discovered when reading the ingredients to have a statement "contains no actual fruit juice".
    Noncondensing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide can have a share in the greenhouse effect, but they can not change the overall greenhouse effect because it is always in saturation due to the strong greenhouse gas water vapor. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor 99-1/2% of earth's greenhouse effect is due to the strong greenhouse gas water vapor.
    After global warming was rising at 2/10°C per decade in the 1970s and 1980s it suddenly paused in 1991 when global warming was reported at 1.1°C and has not gone any higher than that reported temperature as of 2022 when global warming was reported at 1.1°C. Global warming has been stalled at about 1°C for thirty years prior to 2022.

    The GW models are hugely wrong. SEE Princeton atmospheric physicist William “Will” Happer (at YT two months and two years ago), who measures Estimated Climate Sensitivity to a CO2 doubling at a mere 0.5C. And other measurements, such as surface launched weather balloons (JRA58 adjusted for UHI) and you come to roughly supported measurements. Therefore, we’re close to saturation effects where adding more CO2 is globally BIGLY beneficial and the negatives…? Delusional.
