Text of the page (random words):
r its other coal fired plants last march the french government part owned multinational engie closed down the giant hazelwood coal fired station that had supplied a quarter of victoria s power the australian energy market operator is now sufficiently alarmed to have just issued an official warning of further blackouts this summer in victoria and south australia and severe medium term power shortfalls but in yet more virtue signalling energy giant agl is still threatening to close the massive liddell coal fired power station in nsw and replace it with a subsidised solar farm and a much smaller gas fired power station relying on gas supplies that don t currently exist were it not rational behaviour based on irrational government policy this deliberate elimination of an essential service could only be described as a form of economic self harm hydro aside renewable energy should properly be referred to as intermittent and unreliable power when the wind doesn t blow and the sun doesn t shine the power doesn t flow wind and solar power are like sailing ships cheaper than powered boats to be sure but we ve stopped using sail for transport because it couldn t be trusted to turn up on time because the weather is unpredictable you never really know when renewable power is going to work its marginal cost is low but so is its reliability so in the absence of industrial scale batteries it always needs matching capacity from dependable coal gas hydro or nuclear energy this should always have been obvious also now apparent is the system instability and the perverse economics that subsidised renewables on a large scale have injected into our power supply not only is demand variable but there s a vast and unpredictable difference between potential and dispatch able capacity at any one time having to turn coal fired power stations up or down as the wind changes makes them much less profitable even though coal remains by far the cheapest source of reliable power a market that s driven by subsidies rather than by economics always fails subsidy begets subsidy until the system collapses into absurdity in australia s case having subsidised renewables allegedly to save the planet we re now faced with subsidising coal just to keep the lights on we have got ourselves into this mess because successive federal governments have tried to reduce emissions rather than to ensure reliable and affordable power because rather than give farmers a fairer return state governments have given in to green lobbyists and banned or heavily restricted gas exploration and extraction and because shareholder activists have scared power companies out of new investment in fossil fuel power generation even though you can t run a modern economy without it in the short term to avoid blackouts we have to get mothballed or under utilised gas back into the system in the medium term there must be first no subsidies none for new intermittent power and a freeze on the ret should be no problem if renewables are as economic as the boosters claim second given the nervousness of private investors there must be a government built coal fired power station to overcome political risk third the gas bans must go and fourth the ban on nuclear power must go too in case a dry country ever needs base load power with zero emissions the government is now suggesting that there might not be a new clean energy target after all there must not be and we still need to deal with what s yet to come under the existing target in the longer term we need less theology and more common sense about emissions reduction it matters but not more than everything else as clive james has suggested in a celebrated recent essay we need to get back to evidence based policy rather than policy based evidence even if reducing emissions really were necessary to save the planet our effort however herculean is barely better than futile because australia s total annual emissions are exceeded by just the annual increase in china s there s a veneer of rational calculation to emissions reduction but underneath it s about doing the right thing environmentalism has managed to combine a post socialist instinct for big government with a post christian nostalgia for making sacrifices in a good cause primitive people once killed goats to appease the volcano gods we re more sophisticated now but are still sacrificing our industries and our living standards to the climate gods to little more effect so far climate change policy has generated new taxes new subsidies and new restrictions in rich countries and new demands for more aid from poor countries but for the really big emitters china and india it s a first world problem between them they re building or planning more than 800 new coal fired power stations often using australian coal with emissions on average 30 lower than from our own ageing generators unsurprisingly the recipients of climate change subsidies and climate change research grants think action is very urgent indeed as for the general public of course saving the planet counts until the bills come in and then the humbug detector is switched on should australia close down its steel industry watch passively while its aluminium industry moves offshore to places less concerned about emissions export coal but not use it ourselves and deliberately increase power prices for people who can t install their own solar panels and batteries of course not but these are the inevitable consequences of continuing current policies that s the reality no one has wanted to face for a long time that we couldn t reduce emissions without also hurting the economy that s the inconvenient truth that can now no longer be avoided the only rational choice is to put australian jobs and australia s standard of living first to get emissions down but only as far as we can without putting prices up after two decades experience of the very modest reality of climate change but the increasingly dire consequences of the policy to deal with it anything else would be a dereliction of duty as well as a political death wish i congratulate the global warming policy foundation for your commitment to rational inquiry your insistence that the theory must be made to fit the facts rather than the other way round your concern to do good rather than just to seem good and for the hope i share with you that in the end the best policy will turn out to be the best politics i m reminded of the story of a man randomly throwing pieces of paper from the window of a train eventually his companion asked him why he did it it keeps the elephants down he said but there are no elephants here his companion replied precisely it s a very successful method a tendency to fear catastrophe is

among the most corrupt of the alleged scientists peddling the scare of cagw are already declaring 2014 the hottest year ever the cause climate change yes climate change causes climate change elsewhere according to doyle rice in usa today some scientists who have actually looked at evidence blame california s persistent drought on natural variability natural weather patterns and climate variability not man made global warming are causing the historic drought that s parching california says a study out today from federal scientists it s important to note that california s drought while extreme is not an uncommon occurrence for the state said richard seager report lead author and professor with columbia university s lamont doherty earth observatory the report causes and predictability of the 2011 14 california drought was sponsored by the national oceanic and atmospheric administration noaa the report did not appear in a pre publication peer reviewed journal but was reviewed by other noaa scientists in fact multi year droughts appear regularly in the state s climate record and it s a safe bet that a similar event will happen again he said the persistent weather pattern over the past several years has featured a warm dry ridge of high pressure over the eastern north pacific ocean and western north america such high pressure ridges prevent clouds from forming and precipitation from falling the current study notes that this ridge which has resulted in decreased rain and snowfall since 2011 is almost opposite to what computer models predict will result from human induced climate change naturally a serial liar and one of the world s prominent propagandists for the pseudo scientific conjecture of cagw the rather vexatious michael mann had to express denial the authors of the new report would really have us believe that is merely a coincidence and has nothing to do with the impact of human caused climate change penn state meteorologist michael mann wrote in the huffington post monday frankly i don t find that even remotely plausible it could be interesting one day to list all all things which that fraudulent fellow does find plausible the survival of the loch ness monster and the sway of reptilian aliens among us a fair observed might expect versus all the facts verities truths and the concept of the null hypothesis which he indubitably regards as implausible mann cites the fact that the noaa report focuses primarily on the lack of precipitation not the unusually high temperatures that have been measured in the oceans as well as across the state of california peer reviewed studies are divided on whether the drought can be blamed on climate change ah yes we cannot be certain whether climate change could be blamed on climate change for after all droughts may lead to droughts perhaps the rather silly but lucripetous dr mann ought to have paid more attention to the hockey schtick rather than to his own thoroughly worn comfort object the spurious hockey stick a paper published in living reviews of solar physics finds from 2 cosmogenic isotope proxies that solar activity at the end of the 20th century was at the highest levels of the past 1200 years many other papers also confirm that solar activity reached a grand solar maximum at the end of the 20th century however according to the ipcc this has nothing to do with 0 7c of global

pseudo scientific bullshit that night were prof tim flannery prof will steffen prof lesley hughes and some slow boring economist mr roger beale after the forum had concluded i managed to approach prof flannery i asked him when brisbane would run out of water and flannery kindly professed within the next couple of years now a couple of years surely means two years and it has now been two years since our colloquy has brisbane run out of water i checked the figures here and here it appears that brisbane s dams average over 89 capacity with several over 96 it seems to me if dams average an 89 capacity with none at all anywhere near empty that brisbane will not run out of water even within the next couple of years posted by alfred s at 15 30 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to
