U.N. Predicts Disaster if Global Warming Not Checked

Landfill begins burying non-recyclable Wind Turbine Blades

 

Someone better tell Greta ASAP.

 

If we humans can actually change the climate why don't we fix the drought in California and fill the reservoirs?

 

They are actually looking at doing cloud seeding as a possible measure to combat local or regional impacts from Climate Change. Of course they don't know all the risks of doing that and it will be expensive. "Hey look we brought rain to drought ridden California. Unfortunately it also brought record snowfalls to the Rockies will be causing major flooding in the Spring."

 

Does cloud seeding work, is it effective?

 

Only if it manages to wash California into the sea.

 

They are all back above average now. You see droughts cycle in California as they have for a long time. But when you build in a desert you might have issues with water.

 

Supposedly they can do it and with sufficient funds I imagine they could pull something off that would increase clouds and/or rain. The real questions are:

• Should they do this?
• How controllable is the result?
• What are the potential negative side effects?
• How expensive is it?
• How much greenhouse gasses have to be emitted in order to get the material up where it can work, thus negating some of the positives. Isn't this fun?

They do know that increased cloudiness will reduce the global temperature and / or regional temperatures by looking at the after effects of major volcanic eruptions. That in itself is sort of funny since volcanoes also spew a lot of CO2 and other "greenhouse gasses" which would cause the temperature to rise if you believe CO2 is a major player in the Earth getting warmer.

 

What if there are no clouds? Cloud seeding only works if you have a cloud. They seed the cloud to make the rain fall instead of just evaporating. It makes ice crystals and gravity takes over. But if there are no clouds like in a drought, then seeding does not work so well or just produces a local shower. It does not increase cloudiness and how effective it is debatable.

 

One strong solar flare (we get many weekly) will fuck up any cloud seeding they do. They think they understand our climate but have not a clue.

 

Cloud seeding is probably the wrong term, but here are some things they are working on. Less to make it rain, and more to reflect sunlight back out into space.

Funny thing is the biggest fear of the Climate Alarmists is that this technology might actually work and slow down the conversion away from fossil fuels. These people crack me up.

 

We are in a solar minimum now, a deep one.

 

It is the same with CO2 regeneration tech which tells us it has more to do with socialism than saving the planet.

 

On the topic of the wind farms...nobody's mentioned the approximately 2 acres of land that a wind turbine takes out of production in states like Iowa and the Dakotas.
That's agricultural land used for increasing food supply demands. There are 1500 wind turbines in North Dakota alone. That's 3,000 acres of valuable agricultural land that's no longer producing wheat/barley/corn/soy beans.

Not to mention the infrastructure to deliver all that wind farm generated power doesn't exist to deliver the power produced to the consumer out in those areas.

And they don't produce enough power to be used by those that live on those places. Those folks use their furnaces 8 to 9 months a year...and they're not using electric furnaces.
Many farmers and residents in this non-urban areas are using propane. They've got very large propane tanks on their property providing heat and hot water.

 

C'mon, man... 3000 acres out of the whole state of No Dak? I love when people use statements like that, that most people have no real idea what they mean.

3000 acres is less than 5 square miles... a square that is 2.23 miles on a side.

Graphically, it's the red dot shown here:

 

Looks like a hockey stick to me.

 

Let’s make a graph with it!

 

the H E & other hockey stick would be in South Dakota?

It would. Every time it rains there there are mud slides. Hard to tell what is worse, drought or rain.
They would have to put whole state under AC to keep it stable
