World’s ‘solar and wind capital’ freezing due to snow ‘blanketing millions’ of solar panels

FALSE. He said it would melt in the summer. And it is disappearing.

Al Gore predicted that Earth’s “ice caps” would melt away by 2014.

What's True
In the late 2000s, Al Gore made a series of high-profile statements suggesting the possibility that Arctic sea ice could be completely gone during the summer by around 2013 or 2014.

What's False
Gore did not himself make these predictions but said (in some cases erroneously) that others had, and he never referred to a year-long lack of ice for both poles but instead largely referenced Arctic sea ice in the summer.

El Paso fared much better this time around because it's not on the ERCOT grid.

Most, but not all of Texas, is on the ERCOT grid.

El Paso is not on the Texas grid.

 

~ He may indeed be secretly in charge the entire time .. ?

 

~ This coming from one who denies there is communist governments . ´

~ Ah yes - this explains the "global roasting" , ice cap melting and New York / Florida being under water predictions by "experts". 97% agree !

~ That poster is one with a sense of humor.

~ Yes. As they say : "It depends on the weather" - which is fairly unpredictable.

~ This just about sums it up ...

 

Snopes "Fact-checkers" are made up of a Hooker, a Dominatrix, and an Embezzler.

​

When this fact-checking thing took off, the Embezzler dumped the wife and replaced her with a hooker, Ms Young. Or, as her webpage puts it: “a mature and experienced courtesan [what the less sophisticated call a ‘hooker’], idealist, activist & dreamer.”

$1,200 for four hours and $5,000 for a full 24. For that you can have “‘an elite and discreet companion’ who ‘understands that while pleasure and passion may be explored in the bedroom, it is hardly the only place.’” wrote Ms. Young who has now added "fact-checking" to her "services" which apparently pays comparably to her normal $300/hr rate.

But Ms. Young is not even the strangest Snopes fact maven. “Writing under the pseudonym Vice Vixen, Snopes fact-checker Kim LaCapria also writes about sex and fetish gear on her own blog, ‘with a specific focus on naughtiness, sin, carnal pursuits, and general hedonism and bonne vivante-ery.’ LaCapria’s blog features reviews of sex toys. On another blog, LaCapria describes her days off from writing and "fact-checking" as leasure filled with playing scrabble, smoking pot, and posting to Snopes.’ She then added, ‘That’s what I do on my day ‘on,’ too!’”

Delightful! She puts down the sex toy, picks up the bong and then does her Snopes work while stoned.

Ms. LaCapria also revealed that she has strong dominatrix instincts and is “addicted to smutty Harry Potter fanfic.”

Ms. Young ran for “U.S. congress in Hawaii in 2004, during which she handed out ‘Re-Defeat Bush’ cards and condoms stamped with the slogan ‘Don’t get screwed again’.” And Ms. LaCapria “describes herself as a liberal and has called Republicans ‘regressive’ and afraid of ‘female agency’”; she also labeled the Tea Party “teahadists.”

• Snopes lied about the lack of American flags at the Democrat convention, trying to pass off a picture from day two of the convention as though it were from day one."
  
• “Ms. Lacapria tried to contradict the former Facebook workers who openly admitted that Facebook regularly censors conservative news, dismissing the news as ‘rumors.’”

Al Gore Slips On Arctic Ice; Misstates Scientist's Forecast.

Lying Al Gore: "During my time in the U.S. Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

In a piece headlined "Inconvenient Truth For Al Gore As His North Pole Sums Don't Add Up" the Times:

Yeah, well, they all "blew" that one!

And certainly no ice shortage today!

You have a lot of unanswered questions for someone who has already declared guilt.

 

Yawn. The legislature and the state energy department regulate ERCOT. It is not "responsible" for their decisions.

 

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick talks about the renewable and reliable mix of energy, and about ERCOT's mistakes. Texas legislature starts an official investigation this coming week.

 

I guess you haven't read the link above that says the DOE waived environmental standards. Put the blame on the Republicans who gave been running Texas for 25 years.

 

The Republican legislature will investigate themselves and Republican governors.

 

He's a business type. You know his history better than I do. The Liberals are crooks and the PQ drive business away.

The feds didn't act on the border until BC said it was going to do it themselves.

BC has had fewer restrictions (so far) than either Quebec or Ontario, but BC did act early to restrict gatherings.

 

Cold Snaps Expose Climate Science Fragility

". . . Some climate scientists argue CO2 induced “Arctic Amplification” causing warmer polar temperatures which increased the jet stream’s waviness. However, there is no consensus for their hypothesis, and some argue there is little evidence at all for that effect. Nonetheless there is an excellent, albeit ignored explanation for the warming Arctic/cooling mid‑latitudes paradox. The natural quasi‑permanent Aleutian Low nearly explains it all. . . . "

 

The Texas Energy Disaster
Andy May
By Andy May I live in Texas and write about climate science and energy, so I get a lot of questions about the recent problems. My wife and I are…

". . . . The proximate cause for the Texas grid collapse was the very cold weather from February 9 to 17. The initial problem was that wind was producing over 25% of Texas’ power and it is intermittent. Knowing it was intermittent, ERCOT ramped up natural gas generation as an instantaneous backup for the wind, but they forgot that natural gas is supply-on-demand, and the pipelines are vulnerable to disasters, especially cold weather. Disaster power sources are coal and nuclear, they have fuel on site for days or weeks and do not require a pipeline or a backup. . . . "

 

The questions are for you because you don't seem to understand why the pols are responsible.

 

Does this mean you decided we need more data before we can decide if the theory has merit?

 

How do you think they get through a winter in Minnesota where it gets a lot colder than it has been in Texas?

Did they know natural gas was at risk in really cold weather? Of course, they did.

 

The government is indeed responsible. If ERCOT has bad policies, the state is responsible for revamping them. Color you naïve.

 

The article concludes:

". . . The Aleutian Low’s position changes throughout the winter and from year to year. However, before the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) switched phases, between 1950–1976 the Aleutian Low spent, on average, 16 months over the Bering Sea and 20 months over the Gulf of Alaska. After the PDO shifted, the Aleutian Low only spent 7 months during the next 25 years over the Gulf Alaska and more time over the Bering Sea. That shift changed the balance to a warmer Arctic, a more common weaker vortex and more cold snaps.

Clearly energy policy must be better prepared to deal with natural climate change its periodic extreme cold."

 

Minnesota has substantial coal and nuclear power generation, and I suspect they assume more cold weather than did the Texans.

 

You didn't answer my question.

 

I believe I did.

 

British Columbia and Québec in Canada doesn't use coal or nuclear and keep the lights on in the cold. It can be done.
