Hail The Energy Transition

[ClimateDN]

As always we welcome comments. But please leave out the vulgarity (even as acronyms), allegations of criminality, conspiracy theories and angrily incomprehensible insults. Keep it clean, folks.

A quote from Winston Churchill Re - Greenwashing, "An appeaser is someone who makes a deal with a crocodile in the hopes that he will be eaten last."

I would rather have questions that cannot be answered than answers that cannot be questioned.

Wonder what would happen if gov tax money was no longer spent for any climate related activities? No subsidy for green energy, no grants for research, no funding for expert advisory gov committees.

John-you continue to amaze me with your thought provoking, informative facts and your sense of humor!Thank you for presenting, so effectively, the work that CDN does to reveal the hypocrisy of"climate change"!

[davestegmayer]

Your show makes me smile every time I watch. Working with trees for 35 plus years I have watched year to year my environment. I can't tell you how much I appreciate you telling the truth about it. No emergency that I can see.

I’m a firm believer in Solar Energy. That is for me at my off grid home/camp, miles from the nearest power lines. Doesn’t make any economic sense otherwise.

Being labeled as a "climate change denier" just because asking questions and pointing the inconsistency is actually a badge of honor.

Congratulations! Great information. Love how the media repeats simple (Silly-Stupid) assertions by anyone on the correct-side of science. Slowing earth rotation does not rise to the level of hypothesis, theory, or even reasonable speculation … but it does fit the narrative.

Ignorance seems to be primary driver of the current hysteria. Back in the old days it was just weather and we did what we had to do.

John, I need this weekly "readout". Don't laugh, I am serious. Keep up this great work. Thank you

The solar farm damaged by hail is poetic justice. Apparently mother nature has a sense of humor!

Science is never settled. If it's settled, it's not science.
That's the entire point of science : Learning things you didn't know.

Regarding the Drake's Landing fiasco I found this tidbit, "It is billed as the first solar powered subdivision in North America, although its electricity and transportation needs are provided by conventional sources." The project cost $7 million and only provided heat. Until they got their central heat reservoir fully charged, ATCO Gas (an Alberta-based natural gas distribution company) fixed heating costs at $60 per month for the homeowners at the Drake Landing Solar Community. And now it cannot be repaired? Oh and I found this gem, "Even if the project had failed, ATCO Gas would have replaced the special hot-water furnaces with traditional natural gas ones. There was limited risk to the homeowners and this encouraged them to support the project." I guess ATCO Gas is going to have to unass 52 (that's all the homes in the project) natural gas water heaters. By my (admittedly rough) calculation, the per-home cost was a tidy $134, 615. Homes sold for an average of $134, 615 each. According to the Wikipedia article a follow on project would need 200 - 300 homes to achieve economies of scale. Guess that's out the window now.

Love your videos 😊congrats with 200 videos!
Best way of installing solarpanels, is (dual side) vertical mounted. Then the upper part is then protected by the upper mounting u rods.

Congratulations on your 200th Newsletter Read Out video and the 10, 000 new subscribers in April! You are the Dr. of Objectivity and “real world science” regarding all of climate misinformation being spewed daily around the world. I’m proud to say that I support your channel every month, and I’m going to raise the amount I contribute. I hope more people will support you monthly for all of the research and hard work that goes into producing your newsletter and videos.

This latest CDN video, "Hail The Energy Transition" Is the best. It reminds me of an old Popular Science story I read years ago: Make the whole state of Colorado a solar panel and it would provide enough electricity for the whole USA. But there's one problem with that. If an enemy wants to attack us, they only have one target to hit.

Satellite data have recently revealed that between 2002 and 2019, the mesosphere and lower thermosphere cooled by 3.1 degrees F (1.7 degrees C ). Mlynczak estimates that the doubling of CO2 levels thought likely by later this century will cause a cooling in these zones of around 13.5 degrees F (7.5 degrees C), which is between two and three times faster than the average warming expected at ground level.

[bedazzled]

It has been suggested, that CO2 levels follow climate patterns, not the other way around.
