Here is a breaking news item from Normal Central. "We are the normal 99% and we will not tiptoe around the "feelings" of the deviant 1% in case they get upset by what we call them or think of them. If you are or want to be part of the 1% please go away into a dark corner and practice whatever perversion floats your boat but don't expect it to be accepted or applauded by us - the 99%"

There's only one problem with the LGBTQ community None of them can think straight.😂

The obvious solution when addressing one of these gender-badge wearing types is to refer to them personally as "Itt" as in cousin Itt of the Adams family, a diminutive hirsute being.

Global Monitoring Laboratory – Carbon Cycle Greenhouse Gases Doubling N2O will happen in about 300 years, and will only increase downwelling longwave radiation by 0.1%. The contribution from the Netherlands is irrelevant and probably not measurable.

So why do the Dutch authorities want to reduce the number of cows? No mention of vehicle exhaust emissions in the article i linked to.

And the next scam after the CO2 scam looks like being the Nitrogen scam. https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220622-dutch-farmers-protest-livestock-cuts-to-curb-nitrogen Earth's atmosphere is composed of about 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen, 0.9 percent argon, and 0.1 percent other gases. Trace amounts of carbon dioxide, methane, water vapor, and neon are some of the other gases that make up the remaining 0.1 percent.

Thanks for the news - I have noticed that it's hit and miss, sometimes you can post, other times not.

You might be interested in these tide gauge data sets concerning global sea level rise. From the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - (NOAA) "The graphs compare the 95% confidence intervals of relative sea level trends. Trends with the narrowest confidence intervals are based on the longest data sets. Trends with the widest confidence intervals are based on only 30-40 years of data. The graphs give an indication of the differing rates of vertical land motion, given that the absolute global sea level rise is believed to be 1.7-1.8 millimeters/year. The calculated trends for all CO-OPS stations are available as a table in millimeters/year and in feet/century A complete table of non-CO-OPS station trends are available as a table in millimeters/year and in feet/century" https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/sltrends/globalregionalcomparison.html It puts the hysterical scaremongering of the green looneys in perspective.

How can fossil fuel ever be outlawed? How is agricultural machinery going to be powered? Tractors - ploughing - harrowing - seeding - rotovating - grass cutting for hay etc etc. Harvesters - grain - maize - legumes - sugar beet etc and every crop that grows and needs harvesting. The average combine harvester is powered by a diesel engine of 200 to 300 hp. Really large combines can be up to 600 hp How can you power these with batteries or hydrogen ? ( the dumbest projected way ever to store energy) Are there going to be charging points in every farmer's field? "The John Deere Company electric tractor, SESAM (Sustainable Energy Supply for Agricultural Machinery), announced a prototype in 2016, which is fed by a 150 kWh battery, weighing 1150 kg. This tractor can run for one hour at full power; i.e., 130 kW. The battery of the electric tractor takes about 3 hours to fully recharge, a factor that has design engineers working hard to improve." ( 130 Kw is equivalent to 95. 6 metric hp) One hour? Then a 3 hour charge time? Ok so recent research doubles the capacity of the battery to two hours. 95hp available for two hours - wow!

Has this issue of being unable to post comments been resolved yet please? Just posted this so I guess the answer has to be yes.

Using gas-to-liquids processes, refineries can convert some of their gaseous waste products (flare gas) into valuable fuel oils, which can be sold as is or blended only with diesel fuel. The World Bank estimates that over 150 billion cubic metres (5.3×1012 cu ft) of natural gas are flared or vented annually, an amount worth approximately $30.6 billion, equivalent to 25% of the United States' gas consumption or 30% of the European Union's annual gas consumption,[12] a resource that could be useful using GTL. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_to_liquids We have used GTL kerosene for heating in the past and it had very little odour. We knew is was GTL as there was a round sticker confirming it on the bidon.

He's didn't call it wrong:- Arctic sea ice coverage is maintaining it's coverage, many ships were trapped in the ice this last winter. The Greenland ice cap is building thickness rather than melting away as predicted. The Antarctic had record low temperatures in it's last winter period North America just had it's coldest winter for many years. Always look at the data that hasn't been faked by the IPCC, the UN, the BBC, the Guardian....... etc.

Will we be able to produce predictable climate change, and a stable climate, by adjusting, at the margins, one human caused variable, namely carbon dioxide emissions, out of the millions of factors, both natural and human, that drive climate? The answer has to be: "Definitely not" This is the tipping point at which the complex science of climate diverges irreconcilably from the central beliefs of the 'global warming' myth. The idea that we can manage climate predictably by adjusting, minimally, our output of a politically-selected gas is both naive and dangerous. The truth is the opposite. In a system as complex and chaotic as climate, such an action may even trigger unexpected consequences. It is vital to remember that, for a chaotic, coupled, non-linear system, not doing something (i.e., not emitting gases) is as unpredictable as doing something (i.e., emitting gases). Even if we closed down every factory in the world, crushed every car and aeroplane, turned off all energy production, and threw 4 billion people worldwide out of work, climate would still change, and often dramatically. If you want to read up on what is really going on, from a scientist who uses measured data, not climate models, try this. It's a long dry read with a lot of formulae, graphs and charts.

Obviously?

Perhaps you could expand on what you term "killing the planet" and how driving an electric car is going to stop us killing the planet?

You are testing the electricity to check it's green?

That reminds me of various adverts for "green" electricity suppliers guaranteeing that all the electricity they will supply you with will be "green" - of course it won't get mixed up with the nasty, dirty non- green stuff at all! Gullible doesn't begin to describe it.

You mean like this?

My opinion on the subject of the green lobby promoting the EV above all else, is simply that they don't know what they are doing and what is worse they don't realise that they don't know what they are doing. What's even more scary is that the politicians take their nonsense on board 100% The truth about the actual range between charges of electric cars - as opposed to the wildly optimistic claims of the manufacturers. https://ev-database.uk/cheatsheet/range-electric-car You can have your solar panels and your turbines on the hills; You can use the warmth of sunshine to reduce your heating bills. You can dream you’re self-sufficient as you weed your veggie bed; As long as you make sure to keep A diesel in the shed.

I didn't know how often they moved, but I thought it was more than twice a year so I had to look it up. What a ridiculous organisation the EU really is.

Twice a year? Among the costs accrued by the monthly relocation, however, includes transportation for thousands of parliament officials, political groups, parliamentary assistants and freelance interpreters, in addition to paperwork that is transported by truck between the locations. In a March plenary resolution on the EP budget, it was noted that the environmental impact is significant and stands at "between 11,000 and 19,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions" a year. That's the equivalent of driving between 2,000 and 4,000 passenger vehicles for an entire year. https://www.euronews.com/2019/05/20/eu-parliament-s-114m-a-year-move-to-strasbourg-a-waste-of-money-but-will-it-ever-be-scrapp

We had part of our large barn dirt floor concreted 10 years ago, not for living in, but as a workshop, garage and storage. Dug out, blinded and levelled with 0/30, rolled and wackered flat. Then 1000 gauge polythene* laid with steel mesh on stools 25 mm higher than the polythene. Self-levelling sloppy concrete poured through one of the windows from a mixer truck and then the usual tamping with a plank on edge. *https://www.screwfix.com/p/capital-valley-plastics-ltd-damp-proof-membrane-black-1000ga-25-x-4m/88322 The ground outside was up to half a metre higher on two sides but there has been no damp coming up in 10 years. The terassement contractor who did it said that part of the reason for laying the polythene under the concrete is to stop the water in the concrete being sucked out of the wet concrete by the dry floor underneath and curing too quickly causing cracking, which seems to have worked. We kept off the floor for 3 weeks and sprayed it with water every day to let it cure before putting any weight on it - It was November when it was done.

Looking further into this it seems that palm oil is also used by UK chip shops as it lasts longer. I've no idea what colza/rapeseed oil smells like when frying as OH cannot eat food fried in or containing colza as it upsets her stomach badly. My joke about the north was a workplace joke/ banter from long ago - apologies to anybody who hails from there.

Colza oil or rapeseed oil is the frying oil of choice for UK chippies as they don't use lard anymore, as least down south, I don't know what they do up in the festering north with their whippets, caps and mufflers?
