Well, now we have global cooling to obsess about.   But never fear, they changed the language to global climate change to to cover that eventuality.  So we can just obsess about it no matter which way it goes and we are right.

And it’s man caused.

I know you can't boil the ocean, I just assumed that meant you can't cool the ocean either.   Wow, learn something new everyday!

We need more CO2.

so clean

Yes, a 5-megawatt wind turbine can hold up to 700 gallons of lubricant. Wind turbines can also hold up to 1,400 liters of oil, hydraulic fluid, and lubricants in total. The oil in wind turbines needs to be changed every 8–16 months, depending on the source.

And when they drive out to service the wind turbine are they driving wind turbine powered trucks or diesel powered trucks?  🤔

"Automotive News’ Larry P. Vellequette provides details on new property insurance guidance that helps dealerships manage fire risks when servicing electric vehicles."

So, do you think the property insurance rates for dealerships is going down or up due to the risks involved with the green new EVs?  They are sustainable, dontchaknow?

 

How are Rivian's property insurance rates going to be affected?

It looks like someone did not do due diligent stress analysis on that turbine blade for it to break so soon.   Or materials were of low quality.    It is not easy, but very do able.   There is a matter of ultimate strength, tensile strength, and fatigue analysis due to all the repetitious revolutions. 

As I understand it, it was the railroads that provided the new science of material fatigue as tracks and wheels were breaking all the time.

That's a bargain considering the fate of the world is at stake.

But isn't the world going to end in 2025.  Is the 4x a cheap fix or should we instead party like its 1999?

I'm thinking about checking out end of December this year, it looks bad.  Don't know what Musk is thinking, he clearly hasn't seen the 3005 forecast.  😯

They may be the only ones to survive, there's no climate change up there.

Heard a scientist guy say there’s climate change even on the sun.

How would he describe the normal "climate" on the sun.  🙄

 

Climate is the general weather over a long period. This can include rainfall, temperature, snow or any other weather condition. We usually define a region's climate over a period of 30 years.

What can we do to save the sun?   We need to act fast!!  Time is running out!!

Is it going to blow up or turn into a frozen cube of ice?  Either way escaping to Mars isn't gonna help.
