Some days I wonder if I should spread stories that make us sound like a recidivist third-world backwater struggling to maintain our voltage. But the ABC is already smashing away. Just when you think there couldn’t possibly be another drawback to solar panels, lo! Solar Panels are pushing up the voltage at midday often as high as 253 Volts when it supposed to be more like 230 to 240V. This means appliances are using more electricity, that makes bills even higher. It may also be breaking appliances (making other bills go higher too). We’re not really sure about that, but when that study is done, it’ll already be 1.8 million panels too late. Non-solar users are paying for this surge (and the appliances) — for every 1% increase in voltage, the costs go up 0.7%. Then, to ice that gravy-cake, the inverters on solar panels are also shutting off at 253V, meaning that poor home owners who paid thousands are not generating power for the grid. All up, solar is bad for you, bad for them, bad for our light-globes. The warning comes from groups running the electricity networks in Australia.

A time when Venice will be top of a long paddock that stretches to Albania. In school children are taught to hyperventilate about the last 30m retreat of glaciers that never stayed put ever. Instead, they could be studying this… (click to start) At the 24,000 year BC point glaciers have wiped out Zurich, Bern, Geneva. Image the effect on people if this were shown everytime a Swiss Alps disaster story was run? OK, so it is a model Advance and retreat of the Alpine glaciers during the last glacial cycle from Julien Seguinot on Vimeo. About 25000 years ago, Alpine Glaciers filled most of the valleys and even extended onto the plains. Using a computer model that contains knowledge on glacier physics based on modern observations of Greenland and Antarctica and laboratory experiments on ice, help from traces left by glaciers on the landscape, and one of the fastest computers in the world, this animation is an attempt to reconstruct of the evolution of Alpine Glaciers in time from 120000 years ago to today.

That makes them the new “top predator” in the ecosystem according to new research. Perhaps not the niche that Greens were expecting wind farms to occupy. It’s not all bad news though, fan-throated lizards are pretty happy about not being dinner. h/t GWPF Lizards vote for wind. Wind farms are the ‘new apex predators’: Blades kill off 75% of buzzards, hawks and kites that live nearby, study shows Harry Pettit for Daily Mail Online Predatory bird numbers are four times higher in areas away from wind turbines This is having a devastating ‘ripple effect’ across the food chain It means numbers of certain small animals are growing unchecked 9.6 out of 10 based on 69 ratings […] November 7th, 2018 | Tags: Unintended Consequences, Wind Power | Category: Global Warming | Print This Post | | … Horror Story #241: Rat Plagues coming How biblical can it get? If you aren’t scared of a 2 degree rise (really, who is?) then be afraid, plagues of rats shall explode upon your house! Climate Change Is Scary; ‘Rat Explosion’ Is Scarier Faye Flam, Bloomberg Opinion What’s so scary about climate change? The term is not scary — at last not in a visceral, skin-crawling sense. Scientists have shown that the likely 2 degrees of global warming to come this century will be extremely dangerous, but, you know, “2 degrees” is hardly a phrase from nightmares and horror films. How about “rat explosion”? As the climate warms, rats in New York, Philadelphia and Boston are breeding faster — and experts warn of a population explosion. Climate change only makes bad things live and grow stronger: The physics of climate change doesn’t have the same fear factor as the biology. … so populations will crash or explode as anthropogenic climate change continues to make wet areas more sodden and dry areas, more parched. What genius research is this: … rats have a gestation period of […] November 5th, 2018 | Tags: Horror Stories | Category: FakeNews, Global Warming | Print This Post | | … 9.7 out of 10 based on 20 ratings UPDATE: People are still angry over this on Twitter.Sign the petition. Unpermitted words have a Weapons-Grade power over useful words at a rate of a billion to one Speak a Forbidden Term and your entire career can be neutralized instantly. It doesn’t matter how many other useful ideas or contributions you make. Any breach unleashes a tidal wave of unrighteous indignation. Then the honest players fold like daffodils in a breeze and leap to carry out the judgement of twitter mobs. Why do good people help the Lynch Mob every time? The permitted word list is defined by the PC mob, it changes at random, and post hoc, and only applies to people who threaten collectivist power. Eminent scientists can be called “deniers” as if they are mental morons, they can be likened to pedophiles, asbestos-pushers and Hitler, and that’s not only OK, those people get lavish taxpayer funded careers and prizes. (Not mentioning any names Stephan Lewandowsky and Robyn Williams.) Freedom of Speech is under threat — we have to stand up to this Tuesday, Ross Cameron said the four forbidden words “slanty-eyed, yellow-skinned“. Rude, yes, dynamite, no. They were better left unsaid, and potentially offensive, but not a […] A few weeks ago a CSIRO boat mapped out a string of 3 kilometer high seamounts that no one knew about. They are 400km east of Tasmania and sit in water 5 km deep (so no one is going to run into them, even in a military sub.) But remember, even though 80% of the ocean floor is unmapped, and we haven’t even logged, named or noticed thousands of volcanoes, we *know* that they are not heating the ocean, changing ocean currents, or affecting our climate. Skillless models tell us so. (Pay us your money). h/t Thanks to Tallbloke Huge underwater volcano chain discovered off Tasmania Denise Chow, Euronews “We’ve only mapped a tiny fraction of the ocean floor,” said Andrew Fisher, a marine geologist at the University of California, Santa Cruz, who was not involved in the new discovery. “We have more detailed maps of Mars, Venus and the moon than we do of the seafloor. Other planetary bodies can be mapped in high resolution with satellites, but on Earth, the water layer gets in the way. The only way is to go out with ships.” More than 80 percent of the ocean […] This should end all the Pacific Island climate claims right here. A new study of over 700 islands for decades shows that even though seas are rising faster than any time in the last million years, somehow no islands with people on are shrinking. This means there are no climate change refugees from any vanishing island. Plus it’s more proof that highly adjusted satellite data is recording sea levels on some other planet. Over the past decades, atoll islands exhibited no widespread sign of physical destabilization in the face of sea-level rise. A reanalysis of available data, which cover 30 Pacific and Indian Ocean atolls including 709 islands, reveals that no atoll lost land area and that 88.6% of islands were either stable or increased in area, while only 11.4% contracted. Look how closely these researchers are tracking the shores. Below on Tuamoto, French Polynesia, scientists can tell you that islets 12 and 14 (see pic) have disappeared since 1962. So we can track roving blobs of sand about 20 to 30 meters across. ….
No habitable island, none, got smaller: The researchers reckon that 10 hectares is about the smallest island you’d want to plonk […] November 1st, 2018 | Tags: Evidence, Oceans, Sea Level | Category: Global Warming, Marine, Oceans | Print This Post | | |
