... and the most, by far, damaging: "Solar and wind energy and pretending the 2nd law of thermodynamics doesn't exist will save the world."
This reactionary fantasy should have played out a long time ago, but somehow didn't:
At the Mauna Loa CO2 Observatory, the 2024 Terror Continues.
I remember hearing when I was young, which was a very long time ago since now I'm old, about how the development of high temperature superconductors were going to let wind turbines in the Dakotas power the entire US.
It didn't happen.
What did happen is that the world is now seeing CO2 levels in the planetary atmosphere like this:
Week beginning on March 03, 2024: 425.45 ppm
Weekly value from 1 year ago: 421.44 ppm
Weekly value from 10 years ago: 398.78 ppm

Some frauds, like that of Ranga Dias prove over the long term to be of limited consequences. Other frauds, like the very, very, very, very popular fraud often spread around here that reads: "Nuclear power is 'too dangerous' but climate change isn't" and "We don't need nuclear power because 'renewable energy' is so great," have much greater consequences, in this case, the destruction of the planetary atmosphere.
By the way, I've heard this particular fraud, the one that matters, spread around here by people who tell me that they're practically geniuses with tremendous educations.
I, of course, have my own opinion of what is real and what is not.
Glass houses and stones and all that...
Have a nice evening.
