If you are going to start talking about excess deaths associated with heat periods then you should read the following. It provides some context for th...

I am not doubting the sincerity of what you are saying. You are not reliable because you are wrong. Any rational person knows that there are some seri...
February 02, 2025 at 16:04
By saying "No" you have proved that you are not a reliable source of information. You are a delusional evangelist and you have your head buried in the...

Being overly pessimistic does not help things. It often leads to depression and/or causes people to stop trying. You might be worrying about something...
February 02, 2025 at 14:24
Sorry, I must have missed that bit. What do you mean by an unreliable witness? Someone who says things that you don't like? MGUY provides links to whe...

It sounds like you are suffering from "penis jealousy". :razz:
February 01, 2025 at 20:15
You seem to have faith that new technology will solve the problems associated with large scale energy storage. Why don't you have faith that new techn...
February 01, 2025 at 20:00
It doesn't matter whether you believe MGUY and/or me. What you need to do is address the concerns that we raise. Otherwise you just have your head bur...
February 01, 2025 at 19:52
You shouldn't disregard everything that MGUY says just because you think that he is a petrol-head. You are attacking him rather than discussing what h...

There is a big difference between "exploding" and "catching fire". This is a long post. If you don't want to see the details of how the calculations w...

Mikie, I am not, and never have been, a big fan of Donald Trump. I also do not watch Fox News. And I never have. You are wrong once again. :scream:
February 01, 2025 at 01:44
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Do you understand that Mikie? In case you don't understand it, I will explain it to you. It doesn't mat...

Have you ever seen the advertisement for Claytons, a non-alcoholic, non-carbonated beverage coloured and packaged to resemble bottled whisky. Since is...

The effective EV mandate would make gasoline-powered automobiles much more expensive than EV's (the opposite of the current situation). This would eff...
January 31, 2025 at 00:40
Mikie, if you had the ability to "think before acting" and to "consider the complexity of a situation before making a choice" (both of which fruit fli...
January 30, 2025 at 14:50
Mikie, you seem to live in a world of your own. Why don't you try getting out of your mother's basement occasionally. In an earlier post I said: Try g...
January 30, 2025 at 07:45
Mikie, I am not surprised that you are ignorant about EV mandates. A little bit of googling would have educated you. There are EV mandates (or effecti...

Here is a news report from Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW): Fire and Rescue NSW recording Lithium-Ion battery fires at a rate of five a week - NSW Publish...

Do EV evangelists provide a balanced view of EVs? MGUY is providing the "other side" from EV evangelists. I agree with you that MGUY is a bit of a pet...
January 29, 2025 at 23:15
Have I upset you Mikie? Let's ignore the “windmills kill birds!” issue at the moment. You have introduced it as a distraction. But since you have rais...
January 29, 2025 at 13:50
Some of the information on the map that you reference seems "odd". North-Central USA / Jan 2020-Jan 2021 / wet to dry Why does this have the impact of...

Yes, I would like renewable/sustainable/green energy efforts to succeed. But I think that most people don't know about, or don't want to acknowledge, ...

Mikie, are you going to look at any of MGUY's videos? https://www.youtube.com/@mguytv
January 29, 2025 at 04:12
Solar power, wind power, EVs, lithium batteries, etc. are relevant to climate change. If you don't know that then you should expand your world view be...
January 28, 2025 at 04:52
An engineer knows more about solar power, wind power, EVs, lithium batteries, etc. than a climate scientist. MGUY is not talking about climate science...
January 28, 2025 at 02:08
Why did you fail to mention that MGUY is also an engineer? Could it be Mikie, that you are biased and ignore the qualifications of any person that dis...
January 28, 2025 at 00:36
No, I am not. I will be 8 on my next birthday.
January 28, 2025 at 00:09
MGUY is not totally against EVs. He says that they are good in certain circumstances. For example, if you do short trips, if you have off-street parki...
January 28, 2025 at 00:06
As usual Mikie gives a knee-jerk reaction based on his narrow-mindedness. If Einstein had a YouTube channel would you refuse to accept his views? Did ...

If you want to know the truth about net zero, solar power, wind power, EVs, lithium batteries, etc., then check out this YouTube channel. MGUY Austral...

This has already happened. This example does not involve a "supercomputer", but it shows what can go wrong when some people believe that everything th...

Mikie, what have you been smoking?
January 26, 2025 at 05:53
Big Climate Change is pushing the idea of net zero. It tries to demonize fossil fuels. It promotes solar energy and wind energy over other more reliab...
January 25, 2025 at 22:21
I call people "alarmists" because they are warning people about a dangerous situation. They a raising an alarm about the consequences of continuing to...
January 25, 2025 at 12:05
That is because alarmists keep changing the name. - global warming - climate change - climate crisis - climate emergency - climate breakdown - climate...

Here is Google's AI Overview when asked the question "how intelligent are fruit flies?" Fruit flies are surprisingly intelligent, capable of complex b...
January 24, 2025 at 12:03
Why do alarmists consistently call anybody who doesn't totally agree with them "deniers"? People like Mikie will never stop calling other people "deni...
January 24, 2025 at 11:48
This is a typical climate-change/global-warming alarmist response to an inconvenient truth. Ad hominem. If they don't have any way of disproving a sta...

If somebody promised you $55,000 but only gave you $39,000, would you be happy? Every prediction is accurate if you attribute the difference to natura...

I enjoy being insulted by climate-change/global-warming alarmists because it shows that they are desperate, irrational, and have no scientific rationa...
January 23, 2025 at 22:37
You obviously can't prove that my evidence is not true. Resorting to personal insults shows that you have no scientific rationale. P.S. I don't want h...
January 23, 2025 at 22:20
What makes you think that your predictions and claims are any better than mine? I present evidence to support my claims. For example: - the report in ...
January 23, 2025 at 22:00
That is a foolish thing to say since I won't still be alive in another century. You probably won't be around in another century to see that your predi...
January 23, 2025 at 05:50
Yes, we have known about global warming for a long time. The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer, and in some places the seals ar...

The brief note in the New Zealand newspaper from some 113 years ago came from a report in the Popular Mechanics magazine published in March 1912. The ...

2 points: 1) the article doesn't say that raising the earth's temperature is a bad thing 2) New Zealand has always been ahead of the rest of the world
