union of concerned scientists debunked

In my agwunveiled analysis, I didn’t trust anything prior to 1895 because I too thought the earlier stuff might not be very accurate. David Bergeron The math only works if you include the radiative properties of CO2. Reducing the lifetime assumption of the vehicle exaggerates the emissions from manufacturing, lowering the projected benefits of EVs. We’re already outstripping EIA’s projections when it comes to shifting our uncertainty in reported measurements is about 0.09 K and 2014 was warmest by only about 0.02 K? electricity. Twenty-five years ago, the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington, D.C. along with over 1,700 scientists from around the world, including the majority of then-living Nobel laureates in the sciences, drafted and signed the first World Scientists’ Warning to Humanity. Companies that choose to cooperate get rewarded, because prosecutors take it into consideration before pursuing prosecution.

I’m not an idiot. Background – Bear Valley is Tehacapi. Maybe beefed up to make it helicopter proof, but basicly a glorified above ground swimming pool. Clearly you have not read the scientific literature–the idea of a greenhouse boost of CO2 to a warming initiated by higher solar insolation in the polar regions is the standard model for the end of glaciations. These circumstances in no way restrict anyone’s right to state what they, backed by due care and attention, believe to be true. Simple gedanken — Below the clouds, effect is saturated. Would Mr. Negin advise me and other parrot fanciers to leave on the ceiling fans in rooms where our feathered friends might be flying about? If I had a bird I wouldn’t line it’s vcage with that rag. 1) There are twice as many other renewables as hydro in CA (see link) you fail to mention. Thermal Enhancement (PTE), which is independent of the atmospheric I was overreacting…. And lastly hybrids. not reported by Balancing Authorities as imports, hence their inclusion 3) Even if you use the larger numbers from the soda cans on wheels mentioned – we’re still talking increasing of overall residential consumption of electricity by 30%. Dan Pangburn • has a good regression fit and uses NASA I leave you with this quotation that gets to the heart of the matter: Truth is what gets results…. That’s assuming that UCS didn’t already include the 4% coal in their calculation, in which case we are double-dipping negatively. Just like Big Oil gets huge subsidies that bring microscopic benefits. Despite no evidence, Pretending that greenhouse gases warm, Over the years CEI also has received significant funding from ExxonMobil and the Koch brothers’ foundations.
Here; http://www.tylervigen.com for your enjoyment; The link between CO2 and warming was known LONG before any correlation. I believe that if one were to do a audit of the eagle carcasses sent to the National Eagle Repository, the number has probably exploded over the last 20 years because of wind turbine mortality. Over the years CEI also has received significant funding from ExxonMobil and the Koch brothers’ foundations. But what I have to go on is the peer-reviewed literature — which you apparently dismiss. mgh + (7/2)kT, “A 4 year old can understand that’s going to cause warming.” Please note that comments are open for two weeks following each blog post. Why did he not attack everyone? Through a combination of cherry-picking data, bizarre assumptions and just plain false information, the author asserts that electric vehicles (EVs) produce more air pollution and similar global warming compared to efficient gasoline cars today and dismisses the potential to clean-up the nation’s electricity grid in the future. Are you aware that the s.d. There are plenty of holes and lies of omission in your points: Anthropological climate change is accepted as reality by 97% of the scientists and 99.7% of peer reviewed studies. I also don’t consider it very profound to point out that it is warmest at the end of a warming period. “Wind energy is not green if it is killing hundreds of thousands of birds,” the American Bird Conservancy replied to the verdict (as reported by Sheppard). Indeed, it’s probably illegal to sell fans lacking such screens.

Is it wise to there is a serious simultaneity bias. Why not mandatory guidelines? It is domestic but damaging in its own way. http://www.tritonpower.com/documents/images/1345049253.jpg, i am not sure tou simply understand lomborg s point…, on one hand a guy who tries to fond out the best place where to put public money to get the more benefit from it on the other hand electric car advocates…, simply don’t ask for money…just do it , show people it is cheap …. Finally, there are other policies at work that will also reduce air pollution from power plants. The planetary climate clock, in human time. I am fully aware of the folly in small samples. The Union of Concerned Scientists has posted a nice debunking of Cool It: New Documentary on Bj¸rn Lomborg and Climate Change is Long on Opinion and Short on Facts, Science Group Says Lomborg cherry-picks data to present skewed view of how we should combat global warming. Arrhenius only got a tiny piece of the first part of the story. Nice try though. The wind farms in Friday’s settlement came on line before the Obama administration drafted voluntary guidelines encouraging wind energy companies to work with the Fish and Wildlife Service to avoid locations that would impact wildlife. PHEV (plug in hybrids) do the job of an EV 70-90%+ of the mileage and typical a ~40 mpg hybrid the rest of miles. Negin quickly added an update to his post with the development. “As the philosopher, economist, and Anglican bishop Richard Whately observed: ‘It is one thing to wish to have truth on our side, and another thing to wish sincerely to be on the side of truth.’”. there has to be an “injured party” filing the claim; and the piece is clealy labeled as “Opinion” (though not as clearly as it could!) Using California with its relatively large hydropower supplies to create a larger than US average comparison of CO2 emissions savings for electric vehicle there – nicely done. Be that as it may, I expect the usual sleight of hand where the replacement of EV battery packs is conveniently left out of the calculation by choosing a short lifespan, but slap up the link and I’d be happy to look at it The 2013 LEAF uses metals with less environmental impact. In the end it gets 70-90%+ EV miles, which for ~80% over 15,000 miles a year is no different than driving an EV ~12,000 miles a year and a gasoline-hybrid ~3,000 miles a year. Google “plug in hybrid”, you might learn something as a good half the plug in cars sold are just that. is 10 long human lifespans, 40 generations, the time separating us from the first millennium and the Middle Ages…. Absorbing and re-emitting IS blocking since a percentage is re-emitted back…; Sorry… NASA and NOAA are just a little more credible than some dude on the internet…. And tax credits phase out after 200k vehicles per manufacturer (which Lomborg conveniently omits) so they are working for their INTENDED and limited purpose, just look at the state of the market and adoption versus 4 years ago. In any case, I appreciate your passion for protecting birds. Equally your “average” driver argument is simply my urban tree hugger demographic dressed up in different clothes. Response to 1) The additional renewables are the massively subsidized residential solar PV – which are far too little to actually power significant numbers of EVs particularly on a per household basis.

This was the estimated mortality from just 28- 2.5 MW turbines after making adjustments for their tiny search areas and other factors. Here it is: CO2 has been considered to be a forcing. I understand what a PHEV is just fine. The effects of EVs on air quality are similar to global warming emissions: electricity from coal has negative impacts, natural gas is better, and renewables are much cleaner. It’s their data, and I’ve cited my sources, what are yours? Free online book by scientist and bestselling author of Brain-fizzing Facts, Dr Emily Grossman, breaks down the science of the climate and ecological crisis to make our situation easy for adults and teenagers to understand. And you fail to address the second point I made. For some reason, those who object to “industry” funding seem not to object to this. 3) Pacific Northwest Labs study concluded 80 million EVs could be added using overnight charging and 140 million total throughout the day on the current grid. It is 2 engines in a single vehicle – an electric one with hundreds of pounds of batteries combined with a small gasoline engine. by condor specialists who went looking after the bird’s transmitter signal changed. Coming from someone who has produced such lies as “An average electric car goes 2 miles per kwh” and “a pure EV CANNOT drive 15000 miles a year” your opinion of actual well-conducted scientific study is pretty worthless. What is Earth System Science? But just hours after Negin’s post went live, Kate Sheppard of the Huffington Post reported some big news: Duke Energy Renewables Guilty Plea Nets Big Fine for Bird-Killing Wind Turbines. Another tactic has been to remove vegetation to reduce the prey the birds like to eat. The public should be outraged by this because the industry is concealing millions of bird and bat fatalities each year with their bogus research. As presented here, imports are only known for their geographic origin I still want to see the actual tanks where the birds were found, and I want to know who is liable, but I suspect that these birds were killed at a local windfarm and transported to the cisterns to escape liability. One cannot easily tell if funding influenced the research or research influenced the funding.

We need more factual and educational features like this, and in major media outlets by well-known figures with attention grabbing headlines, such as “Electric Cars: Cleaner than a Scooter in CA, NY, New England” This includes bees and other insects as well.

broke the record– since we began recording them in 1880.

Very cool! These turbines are also located in the known habitat of the endangered Indiana bat. So isn’t this proof that the things are pretty much permanent and a blight on the land? I have studied eagles for decades. We need to look at a future that has both, not one or the other. Coal imports were 11,824 GWh or 12% of total imports and just 4% of total electricity consumed in CA in 2013.Probably even less last year but the numbers arent out yet. In both cases, Mr. Lomborg’s evidence is missing to show the true global warming emissions from EVs and conventional vehicles in the U.S. However — and maybe it’s just because I haven’t read the peer-reviewed literature — I somehow doubt my critters would fare as well with ceiling fans. This simple, well-known fact is routinely ignored by the American Wind Energy Association—and non-critical (crony) environmentalists. As the technology matures, such incentives enable much greater reductions, and lower costs in the future. The Free Dictionary defines ad hominem as: “Appealing to personal considerations rather than to logic or reason: Debaters should avoid ad hominem arguments that question their opponents’ motives.”. I reckon there would have never been a report if not for the second bird. One’s first priority should be addressing the merits. The absorption ‘opportunities’ for water vapor outnumber absorption ‘opportunities’ for the added CO2 by about 60,000 to 1. These projections neglect changes that would One cannot easily tell if funding influenced the research or research influenced the funding.
I got a new Leaf for about half list price and electricity in my town costs 1/5 of gasoline for the same drive. This of course includes the imports. gas) both of which are in Mexico.
