Europe is wealthier than most countries regardless of EU nation. It's certainly wealthier than many African, South American & Southeast Asia developing countries.

Yet some are making gross guesses at income effect leading to more or fewer heat/cold deaths. It's all that extra heat generated by climate change, & heating in particular.

Meanwhile, EU/UK folks up north keep going on holiday to hotter south Europe...when instead they could buy air conditioning & better heating/insulation.

This is just another excuse for requested income redistribution disguised as climate alarm.

More proof that Chinese coal still provides much of their power and depletes the usefulness of their solar.

Study confirms that China and Western high-rises, streets, & parking lots trap nighttime heat, whereas suburbs hold more daytime heat.

So the idea that we all need to live in 15- minute congested cities for mass transit is flawed.

Plus, the study supports that global average temperature is rising due to higher day averages of many smaller cities. Higher night averages of far fewer large cities raise temperature less, except in China where large cities are the norm.

RCP8.5 is gone. We won't reach 3500 let alone 5000 ppm (submarine & OSHA limit) at 5 ppm increase per year for another 550-700 years, if ever.

The conclusion of this study notes no significant performance degradation at 1500, 3500, or 5000 ppm.

My question is wouldn't increased plant growth caused by CO2 greening offset increased CO2 ppm growth by increasing oxygen and absorbing CO2 via photosynthesis?

And of course if you believe in saturation:

- year 2100: 2C global avg at 750 ppm

- year 2300: 3C at 1500 ppm

- year 2600: 4C at 3000 ppm

By year 2600, we've figured out how to reduce CO2/methane output, increased earth greening...and kept indoor windows partially open during warmer nights & winters/springs/falls.

The ultimate irony. An EV crash causes the latest wildfire that no doubt will get blamed on climate change

California taxpayer-paid subsidy with up to $120k per vehicle!!!

If New Zealand actually eliminated all its cattle & sheep, it potentially would reduce global temperature by .000008 degrees Celsius.

Other information noted is water vapor is 50,000 ppm vs. CO2 just 420 ppm.

Holy crap, they admitted that China, etc. is more to blame. Did you know that Asian rice emits lots of methane?

One of your moderators posted that you essentially need 3 times the solar, wind, & battery requirement due to capacity average power and non-optimum weather constraints.

You also need more HV DC transmission lines, transformers, inverters due to numerous remote smaller MW solar farm sites. That means more land leased for both panels, turbines, and powerlines. It results in more NIMBY for those not wanting to see/hear the offending power source/lines using up farmland.

In the summer, or on bright sun or heavy wind days, you end up having too much power, driving negative prices. Curtailment and backup natural gas costs then result.

Is this any way to run an electricity grid?

As you build more renewables as a percentage of the total power required you need more powerlines & batteries. Your moderator already showed that batteries are a huge expense that will remain high despite declining costs if you want more than 4-hours backup.

Is this a major issue obstructing the all-electric transition? Same for potential cut-off switches on solar panels & inverters made in China.

You can always have a backup diesel generator running gas pumps if the electronics aren't fried or can be repaired. Does natural gas power have similar vulnerability?

If nothing else, it shows the vulnerability to AI data centers and the reason why Iran can't have a nuclear weapon.

An alternative to natural gas and intermittent renewables for data centers.

Chad Wolf worked for Trump 45 in DHS.

He warns that Chinese solar panels and EVs may have internet access, related cut-off switches, and cameras. Mexican BYD & other EVs are already crossing our borders into California from Tijuana.

Heat aggravates ozone readings. I had an argument elsewhere with someone defending the purple-haired Congresswoman who got schooled by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin.

The commenter appeared not to realize we no longer sell leaded gas in the U.S. since January 1996 & started selling unleaded in the 1970s for newer cars. Catalytic converters help cars now emit CO2 & N2, plus water instead of carbon monoxide, etc.

The now defunct Endangerment Finding attempted to say CO2 was a pollutant. Compare Phoenix to India, Asia, & China pollution carried to the U.S.
