One encore of the same performance, and coal will be toast come 2053 sooner if courageous greens reflect on the alternatives.THE CLIMATE WARShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02578106673226403151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718772691289114123.post-38381186179538612972015-04-30T15:25:21.501-07:002015-04-30T15:25:21.501-07:00Things will turn out ok, because we are running ou... Things will turn out ok, because we are running out of fossil fuel reserves. If you consider oil, consumption is much lower as a share of total. Many of you may not realize, but the world's conventional (easy to get) oil production has already peaked.

That's a very simple step that would result in a ton of new wind generating capacity being installed.climatehawk1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718772691289114123.post-46931036745416405062015-04-20T05:34:51.714-07:002015-04-20T05:34:51.714-07:00The "other" piece is growing briskly, no...The "other" piece is growing briskly, no doubt about it. It just feels as though the progress is too slow relative to the cumulative effect of AGW. I mean, imagine if we came back in another forty years and that grow had continued in a similar way. Now "other" is 11-12% of the pie, but it is 2050 already!<br /><br />We need to get serious as a civilization about cutting emissions through collective political action, with investment and deployment on a war footing. We don't have an abundance of time.TheTrackerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10011829472333355911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6718772691289114123.post-82256342744867430622015-04-19T16:19:32.025-07:002015-04-19T16:19:32.025-07:00Coal certainly depressing.

My back of envelope says U.S. wind alone generates as much as burning ~40 million tons of oil annually.climatehawk1noreply@blogger.com
