Re: All Things Environment
A few facts about wheat. Production time: germination to harvest, 4 to 8 months.
So, if climate in traditional “breadbaskets” changes drastically, it is likely crops with these long cycles will not be as bountiful.

We need to look into fonio and other African grains rhat were bypassed by the so-called “Green Revolution” of the 20th century.

Somehow, someway this will be explained by CC/GW. The environmental freak circus will NEVER miss the chance to take advantage of a crisis like this. One more calamity to add to their menu of potential environmental catastrophe. Planet earth is now spinning out of control. I'm heading out today to buy me an electric car... NOT. FTR just to clarify for the anal retentive environmental freak show members of our forum... SARCASM!!!!

I thought my comment was very clearly identified as SARCASM??? Now if you think the earth spinning faster won't be blamed on CC/GW let us just wait and see. You can let your opinion be known... the earth spinning faster has nothing to do with climate change... what say you???

Re: All Things Environment
He throws out big numbers without context a lot. For example, yes you need mined materials to build a lot of these things, but he doesn’t talk about the actual life cycle of the constructed devices, and how much recycling of that material is possible. By mentioning these costs out of context, he makes it sound impossible (which is his communication goal here). And no one is expecting to generate everything from solar and wind anyway.youthathletics wrote: ↑Wed Aug 03, 2022 12:40 pmAre the numbers and stats in the video incorrect?
Sensible expansion of natural gas generation to replace coal/oil will be a transition approach, as it is less damaging. Expanding nuclear and eventually adding fusion to fission will make a huge difference. And reducing energy usage per person is part of the equation as well.

Get ready for the “water-migrants”. They’re coming.
What wouldn’t you do for a drink of water if you are dying of thirst?
“MONTERREY, Mexico, July 29 (Reuters) - Mexico declared the water shortage in the northern state of Nuevo Leon a matter of "national security" on Friday as the region, home to Mexico's industrial capital, has been crippled by a worsening drought in recent months.
In a declaration issued Friday afternoon, the federal government said available water should be prioritized for public use, and said existing federal water concessions to private companies could be modified or reduced.”

Re: All Things Environment
You don't have a back up generator??? a poor old sod like me paid big money to correct that situation 5 years ago. We did so for the exact opposite reason, when it is 10 degrees and the power goes out... our emergency generator kicks on in about 10 seconds.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 8:45 am My power just went out, clear sunny day, and Georgia power is saying 2hrs.

Death Valley National Park
·
Update 8/7/2022 at 2:00 p.m. PST
Rain this weekend was a historic event, with nearly a year’s worth of rain falling in three hours. The rain caused widespread damage and closure of all park roads.
"The heavy rain that caused the devastating flooding at Death Valley was an extremely rare, 1000-year event, says Daniel Berc, meteorologist with the National Weather Service Las Vegas.
Many miles of roadway are known to have moderate to severe asphalt damage with hundreds of miles of roadways impacted by debris. Road conditions are still being assessed, as damage makes access to some areas impossible by vehicle.
Yesterday’s aerial surveys by a Naval Weapons Station China Lake helicopter crew were able to do a thorough search and located several vehicles in remote areas of the park. Rangers were able to contact these visitors and ensure that everyone was ok.
California Department of Transportation expects to reopen portions of Highway 190 by Tuesday, allowing for travel between Pahrump, NV and the park’s residential and administrative area at Cow Creek. This will include access to the park’s visitor center at Furnace Creek, as well as the private hotels at Furnace Creek.
Park roads are expected to remain closed for days to months depending on the severity of damage.
To date, there are no reported injuries from visitors or park residents, and people who were previously sheltering in place have been able to carefully travel out through the damaged roadways.
No park roads are currently open to recreational travel due to ongoing safety concerns and active road work.
“Death Valley is an incredible place of extremes,” said park superintendent Mike Reynolds. “It is the hottest place in the world, and the driest place in North America. This week’s 1,000 year flood is another example of this extreme environment. With climate change models predicting more frequent and more intense storms, this is a place where you can see climate change in action!”
