Austria sues European Union, claiming natural gas and nuclear energy are not 'green'

[1337]

The delusion of being correct is probably the saddest part about these kinds of people.

Oops - wrong answer.
The right answer is that Oxygen and Nitrogen also contribute to the "greenhouse" effect.
All the gases in the atmosphere have some or other Specific Heat Capacity.

Except that it's not.

To hopefully enable you to understand something.

Yes.

And now I'm laughing out loud (as opposed to smiling).
You are hopelessly confused.

How am I insane?

There are several different types of greenhouse gases. The major ones are carbon dioxide, water vapor, methane, and nitrous oxide. These gas molecules all are made of three or more atoms. The atoms are held together loosely enough that they vibrate when they absorb heat. Eventually, the vibrating molecules release the radiation, which will likely be absorbed by another greenhouse gas molecule. This process keeps heat near the Earth’s surface. Most of the gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen and oxygen, which cannot absorb heat and contribute to the greenhouse effect.

Without the greenhouse effect, Earth’s temperature would be below freezing. It is, in part, a natural process. However, Earth’s greenhouse effect is getting stronger as we add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. That is warming the climate of our planet.

Some Greenhouse Gases Are Stronger than Others | Center for Science Education

In the right amounts, greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, are helpful, rather than harmful, because they can help regulate the temperature of the planet. The problem is that human activity has led to a dramatic increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

OH NO. FACTS!

QUICK @Ponderer RUN!

I think he's a troll account tbh, no person is that proud and loud with their bullschit beliefs surely

Some people have troll accounts. Others have clone accounts

I'm somewhat undecided, since most trolls struggle to keep up the facade for as long as he has.

He's been like this since joining? Wow you guys must be having a blast having a personal clown to laugh at

An example of just how crazy and unhinged "climate cultists" are.
Some of them are right here in this very thread.

I am not denying that the climate is constantly changing.
I am however denying that CO2 emissions is responsible for "climate change".

What's causing the ice to melt then?

 

[1337]

When faced with overwhelming evidence against his established beliefs, he turns to good ol' Talk TV

Just like all the other lunatics lmfao

 

[1337]

What do you mean? The Sun ofc

Just like how your ice lollies melt in the summer. Same thing

I thought it was the sinners...

I honestly thought you had been shown up so badly that you had decided to leave the forum for good, sell your house and relocate to Pitsonderwater under an assumed name..

Then I remembered who you are and realised you haven't even started making yourself look stupid yet.

"huge volumes"

You literally have no idea what you are talking about do you?
There is this little known concept called energy density. Nuclear power uses very energy dense sources of energy, which means it produces very little waste for the amount of energy it produces:




https://world-nuclear.org/nuclear-essentials/what-is-nuclear-waste-and-what-do-we-do-with-it.aspx#:~:text=The generation of electricity from,the used fuel is recycled.

You are correct, but that is not quite the point. We were not discussing the efficiency of nuclear energy.

The USA alone produces 2 000 metric tons of the stuff per year and is currently sitting on 85 000 metric tons of it stockpiled.

And this stuff must be safely stored for thousands of years and that is extremely difficult, due to the human factor.

But I still believe it is the only really viable clean way forward for maintain the required levels of energy required.

Getting ponderer & saturnz to pin down will not be easy. Rather attempt something easy like fixing eskom or putting teflon zuma to jail.

Not as difficult as eavesdropping braai conversations in Perth though...

Nuclear for generation + batteries for storage. It's the only way.

 

[Nerfherder]

Who remembers those learning magazine series that used to come with glow in the dark pieces/skeletons to put together into dinosaurs? Can't remember if they were weekly or monthly They still have those these days?
I also used to collect the series with all the different minerals and gems.
There was once a time people were convinced I was going to become an archeologist/paleontologist/geologist or something along those lines lol.

You can get those at the plastic shops like Mambo's but not very accurate skeletons... for your 5 year old its fine.

Why would you need storage if you have nuclear?

Only of all nuclear is run like Koeberg...

We south africans have normalized not having power regularly, thus his statement makes sense.
