[QUOTE="eclipsenow, post: 77652755, member: 274355"] What do you think you are talking about? Can you please quote a source? From everything I read we are [B]right on track[/B] in terms of climate predictions at least. If anything - the IPCC is marginally too conservative. The reality is proving a little worse than predicted. Not that I side with the climate doomers that insist we've only got 10 years until extinction or anything silly like that. (It's been documented that fossil fuel companies actually sponsor such groups as they help demotivate climate action by instilling a sense of hopelessness!) Again - what on earth are you talking about? Please provide evidence of any OTHER thing other than the example you cite. Now provide evidence for your assertions about scientific reasons to expect a massive uptick in worldwide volcanism. It appears your 'many natural things' are actually zero. If you're a Christian you also have a responsibility to honour the fact that this is not our world, given to us for the benefit of mankind. It's God's world. He loves us and it, and wants us to steward it well to his glory and the protection of the biosphere and life forms he made (through a long and fascinating journey - but [URL='https://biologos.org/articles/gods-love-is-revolutionary']that's a whole other story[/URL].) I've been a passionate nuclear advocate here in Australia since about 2010 when some kind physicists took their time to explain it to me. But it remains illegal in Australia. Renewables are now so much cheaper than nuclear (1/4 cost - Lazard 2023) that we can overbuild them to deal with seasonal variation and weather. Backup with cheap sodium batteries for a few hours and then switch to off-river pumped hydro for a few days. Done! They're doubling every 4 years. The hardest part? Getting the HVDC powerlines built where we need them to go for the super-grid. But for many - HVDC powerlines are VASTLY less controversial than a nuclear power plant next door - even though COAL is FAR DEADLIER THAN NUCLEAR! [ATTACH type="full"]346548[/ATTACH] But again - it's the expense. Renewables can do the job far cheaper - and are growing exponentially. This article wonders if we're going to see 3 TERAWATTS annually by 2030! That’s 2 to 3 times the Paris goals.
