the formidable US federal government, we can expect the public will be hugely hosed with alarms over the next few months.\u00a0 Before the distress signals go full tilt, individuals need to inoculate themselves against the false claims, in order to build some herd immunity against the nonsense the media will promulgate.

The evidence does not support these claims. An example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&nbsp;It is scientifically established that human activities produce GHG emissions, which accumulate in the atmosphere and the oceans, resulting in&nbsp;<strong>warming of Earth\u2019s surface and the oceans, acidification of the oceans, increased variability of climate, with a higher incidence of extreme weather events<\/strong>, and other changes in the climate.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Moreover, leading experts believe that there is already more than enough excess heat in the climate system to do severe damage and that 2C of warming would have very significant adverse effects, including resulting in<strong>&nbsp;multi-meter sea level rise<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Experts have observed an increased incidence of climate-related extreme weather events, including increased frequency and intensity of&nbsp;<strong>extreme heat and heavy precipitation events<\/strong>&nbsp;and more severe&nbsp;<strong>droughts and associated heatwaves.<\/strong>&nbsp;Experts have also observed an increased incidence of large<strong>&nbsp;forest fires<\/strong>; and<strong>&nbsp;reduced snowpack<\/strong>&nbsp;affecting water resources in the western U.S. The most recent National Climate Assessment projects these climate impacts will continue to worsen in the future as global temperatures increase.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alarming Weather and Wildfires<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>But:<\/strong>&nbsp;Renewables are not ready for prime time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People need to know that adding renewables to an electrical grid presents both technical and economic challenges. &nbsp;Experience shows that adding intermittent power more than 10% of the baseload makes precarious the reliability of the supply. &nbsp;South Australia is demonstrating this with a series of blackouts when the grid cannot be balanced. &nbsp;Germany got to a higher % by dumping its excess renewable generation onto neighboring countries until the EU finally woke up and stopped them. Texas got up to 29% by dumping onto neighboring states, and some like Georgia are having problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But more dangerous is the way renewables destroy the economics of electrical power. &nbsp;Seasoned energy analyst Gail Tverberg writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>In fact, I have come to the rather astounding conclusion that even if wind turbines and solar PV could be built at zero cost, it would not make sense to continue to add them to the electric grid in the absence of very much better and cheaper electricity storage than we have today. There are too many costs outside building the devices themselves. It is these secondary costs that are problematic. Also, the presence of intermittent electricity disrupts competitive prices, leading to electricity prices that are far too low for other electricity providers, including those providing electricity using nuclear or natural gas. The tiny contribution of wind and solar to grid electricity cannot make up for the loss of more traditional electricity sources due to low prices.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These issues are discussed in more detail in the post\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rclutz.wordpress.com\/2016\/09\/24\/climateers-tilting-at-windmills-updated\/\">Climateers Tilting at Windmills<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"723\" height=\"407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ObvdSmPbdLg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Irrational Media:&nbsp; Whatever Happens in Nature is Our Fault.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An Example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Other potential examples include agricultural losses.

The climate is controlled not by CO2 but by H20. Oceans make climate through the massive movement of energy involved in water\u2019s phase changes from solid to liquid to gas and back again. From those heat transfers come all that we call weather and climate: Clouds, Snow, Rain, Winds, and Storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Esteemed climate scientist Richard Lindzen ended a very fine recent presentation with this description of the climate system:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>I haven\u2019t spent much time on the details of the science, but there is one thing that should spark skepticism in any intelligent reader. The system we are looking at&nbsp;<strong>consists in two turbulent fluids interacting<\/strong>&nbsp;with each other. They are on&nbsp;<strong>a rotating planet that is differentially heated<\/strong>&nbsp;by the sun.&nbsp;<strong>A vital constituent of the atmospheric component is water in the liquid, solid and vapor phases, and the changes in phase have vast energetic ramifications.<\/strong>&nbsp;The&nbsp;<strong>energy budget<\/strong>&nbsp;of this system involves the&nbsp;<strong>absorption and reemission of about 200 watts per square meter<\/strong>.&nbsp;<strong>Doubling CO2 involves a 2% perturbation<\/strong>&nbsp;to this budget.&nbsp;<strong>So do minor changes in clouds and other features<\/strong>, and such changes are common. In this complex multifactor system,&nbsp;<strong>what is the likelihood of the climate<\/strong>&nbsp;(which, itself, consists in many variables and not just globally averaged temperature anomaly) is&nbsp;<strong>controlled by this 2% perturbation in a single variable?<\/strong>&nbsp;Believing this is pretty&nbsp;<strong>close to believing in magic.<\/strong>&nbsp;Instead, you are told that it is believing in \u2018science.\u2019 Such a claim should be a tip-off that something is amiss.
