I can tell that this entire issue has you extremely upset. Likely seething with rage

... Don't let it get to you muffin, in a year or 2 there will be another Accord that has no teeth and is entirely unenforceable


The way things are headed there will be plenty of jobs reinstalling the sky! :)

Someone's gotta make them feel good.

Also, that was the title of the article, not my words.

I read your citation...the rest is just setting the facts straight.

If everyone fulfilled the total requirements listed in Paris it would lead to about a .08 degree F decrease in temp.
LOL
.08 Degrees F is less then the margin of error.


Doesn't matter. Green energy is now the largest job creator. Whether global warming is true or not is irrelevant, because the world has discovered a better and cheaper way to produce electricity.

Still don't get it do you? Green energy is the wave of the future. Fossil fuels are on their way our whether you like it or not.

Yuppers we are getting lots more of that clean green electricity here in B.C. with site C . Well maybe we are , it appears the green party are against clean green electricity and are opposing Site C .
Greens opposing clean green electricity , Ironic isn't it ?

Nothing you posted refutes my point. BC, just in case you don't realize it, represents only a tiny fraction of the earth's population.

Green energy still has a long way to go and it's extremely expensive which is why it's totally a scam right now. There are those who are lining their pockets at our expense. Green energy will, eventually, be available but not in the near future - we simply can't afford it. Fossil fuels will still be required for some time yet so we still need to get it out of the ground and besides, the so-called green energy requires the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity when backup is required which, right now, is often.


Common sense tells me that the so-called "push" for green energy at this moment in time has nothing to do with being efficient nor about climate change, it's about money and nothing else. It is also about control aka the UN and globalists. We should be wary about the intention of those who would impose their rules on us without our consent.


Besides, how do you fly planes with green energy? Won't get me on one for sure LOL


JMHO

Actually the belief that green energy is more expensive than fossil fuels is just that, a belief. Electricity can now be produced more cheaply with green energy than with fossil fuels and is getting cheaper as the tech continues to improve.

Solar and wind power cheaper than fossil fuels for the first time | The Independent

And green energy has nothing to do with the UN or globalists (whoever they are). Right now the biggest pushers of green energy in the US are all private companies run by people like Elon Musk (look him up).

You are right about the money aspect, but that is connected not to green energy, but to oil and cola companies which are trying to protect their turf. That is now getting harder and harder to do a the cost of green tech continues to decline.

As for aircraft, no one has claimed that commercial aircraft would be outfitted with electric motors, but I would not bet against it. Ten years ago electrically powered drones did not exist. But the engine technology has improved so dramatically that now they are everywhere.

Currently fossil fuel has one big advantage, and that is that that it is the existing tech due to the fact that it has been built up over the last 150 years. It is a phenomenon known as technological inertia. Existing tech always hangs around until the new tech shows that it is clearly superior. A few examples that illustrate this are the gradual change from steam locomotives to diesel locomotives. The change took decades. Another was the replacement of gas and oil lighting with electrical lighting. And one of the best was the introduction of the internal combustion engine. All of these new technologies took decades to replace the existing tech. Green energy with be the same. Even with full support form government green energy systems can only be introduced at a certain speed. I will say that I am quite amazed by how fast green energy is progressing, however. I thought it would take much longer before it passed fossil fuels in efficiency, but it is already there.

I would challenge you (and whomever wrote the article) tat green energy is cheaper - not if our governments have anything to say a about it! Take Ontario, or example - please, take it LOL


When governments make hugely expensive decisions, guess who pays? Another example is natural gas - it's relatively cheap but by the time a person gets their bill, the actual consumption may be, as an example $20 but the bill is $80+ because of all the add-ons and taxes. Green energy may, EVENTUALLY, be cheaper to produce but trust me, we'll pay through the nose for it because us peons need to line someone else's pocket!


Just sayin'
