TBE, I actually read the link to the news item (it’s not a report or paper) and I call BS.

You’re not even cherry picking, you’re totally making stuff up.

...and to reiterate...

Maybe warming is caused by a combination of several issues? [ponder]

The qualitative analyses presented here have shown that the use of so-called renewable energy sources does not necessarily lead to the avoidance of global warming. It can be expected that some techniques will have no or even small effect.

But these are extremely important issues to consider. It's worse than small or no effect, though. The amount of energy we release to go renewable is not going to be reversible if we find there effective reduction in heat output.

I consider myself to be 95 percentile in literacy among engineers but I can’t make sense of this, technically or otherwise.

Building wind, solar, and battery farms while replacing all vehicles on the road is going to consume a lot of energy making global warming worse, not better.

Is that clear enough for you?

Yes!
Your nonsensical conclusion is now more understandable.

So what is nonsense about it? Put that 95th percentile group brain to work.

I don't know where this is going, but I suspect there will be some major changes in the next couple of decades. I won't be around to appreciate them, but the changes will directly affect my kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids... [pipe]

Not gonna look at it but the Daily Mail is one of the worst of the UK redtop snotrags. That’s saying something, because the competition is ferocious.

TBE,
Your twisty words again, not mine.
What keeps it in tip top shape is not over exerting it chasing diversions and arguing imaginary points with committed deniers. I recommend it to everyone.
Think I’ll go for a lie down, then afterward attempt to break my own Rubik’s cube world record. Tomorrow I’ll finish my paper on string theory.
Cheers

Dik,
Have you seen the light? Good to see that you agree with Senator Manchin.

Not yet... still gloom at the end of the tunnel... I'm waiting for that freight train, any time now...

What does temperature have to do with wildfire? That's a humidity problem. More gaslighting I guess.

Anyways wildfire has always been a subject in Mediterranean climates, we share the same here in California.


Also, dik, the stoner does not approve of your source.

Brim, my accidental link did have a link to the study.
