Perhaps I've misread it, perhaps you are looking at global use, not US. I'm not willing to pay for the IEA report on a whim, but their...
1) The IEA doesn't have a great track record, in terms of accurate forecasts. 2) To predict "energy independence", they assumed much higher energy...
Many thanks for the tip. I'll be passing this along.
I'll ditto XS650. Don't heat water in a microwave. Microwaves are efficient relative to a traditional oven (around 12% efficient), but not relative...
Let me see if I understand your point above. You seem to say that I've misunderstood the article that I cited. So, scientists who point to ocean...
Here's a nice accessible NY Times summary of some research on the Permian extinction. It appears that these scientist didn't get the memo that CO2...
Wandering off-topic a bit, I'm just going to take 60 seconds to point out the lack of logic in this. To identify "solutions much better than the...
Oh, sure, after that response, I'm the one who needs to chill. I never said that CO2 was the only cause. That's your straw man. Nor did I draw a...
Just like talking to a wall. Let me simplify. Of the five major mass extinctions on earth, how many were associated with rapid increase in...
My gosh, if that's the level of your argument -- then READ THE DAMNED RESEARCH. Because, yes, the research is EXACTLY about the increase in GHG...
"There were other things going on in the Triasic than man burning fossil fuel." Geez., let's try that again. If you increase the CO2 content of the...
No, "more" rather than "fewer". So ... you think that fencing will save us? Or, more realistically, our grandchildren? Do tell.
Doubling Of CO2 Levels In End-Triassic Extinction Killed Off Three Quarters Of Land And Sea Species | ThinkProgress I guess I should preface this...
I confess I did not read the article, but only because the conclusions as stated in the OP absolutely match everything I know about this topic. In...
TED talks generally feature pretty smart people. But the synopsis above makes this guy sound ... not very smart. I believe that's because the...
The "constrained" estimate was interesting, in so far as I think I understood it, but by eye, it didn't change things much. Here are two scenarios of...
Yeah, but find that in the Fox article? Instead: "The only waste product is therefore water and coal ash -- no greenhouse gases" Most of the energy...
Any chem majors reading this thread who can do stoichiometry? The final products of the complete combustion of hydrocarbons are H2O and CO2. From...
Yeah, it's well established that the main driver is orbital changes -- the Milankovitch cycle. But without the carbon-cycle feedback, it's...
No, Austingreen, I just have read some of the literature, and actually looked at some of the regression models. I don't pay attention to the...
