I bet you argue that the problem with wind and solar is that we don't have storage technology, and now you argue that storage technology must rely on fossil fuels. I would say both your glasses are half empty.
Again, you ignore the many alternatives like reducing our consumption of meat. Lower GHG emissions, lower land usage, significantly lower water usage, etc. Same applies to shelter. We don't need to live in climate controlled monster mansions and offices with zero insulation.
Again, for the 103954731935717834th time, the economy is an artificial construct and it is what we make it to be. The environment is real, the economy is not.
Except the electricity to power these cars has to come from somewhere and that often means coal or gas. Then you have the awkward problem is our grid cannot handle a significant number of EVs and no politician wants to talk about who has to pay for those upgrades because they don't lend themselves to cool slogans or photo shoots.
The only actual discussion going on is not about lowering emissions but about how much do we waste pretending to lower emissions without actually killing the economy in the process. This discussion is not helped by the large number of people who are completely ignorant when it comes to economics - "economics deniers" would not be an unreasonable label for these folks.
If only we could have a controlled experiment for the environmental apocalypse.....THEN Tim would be on board.
We’re getting a distinct smell of smoke from wildfires burning in the USofA. There’s an EC air quality warning out. Apparently, Vancouver is pretty hazy....The fuel dock looking towards Granville Island doesn’t look hazy right now... (17:30)
The smoke is here today, bigtime. We got off light for most of the summer, with just a couple of local fires to the south. But today visibility is down to a few blocks. The only thing I have left on my 2020 disaster bingo card is a famine.
I'm not even attempting to go to work today. I'm trying to do some work at home. I didn't sleep well, I'm coughing, my eyes are watering, and my sinuses are inflamed. This is pretty bad. -k
I've been suffering from lack of sleep for years due to a deviated septum stemming from a busted nose. Sinuses on both sides plug up with one worse than the other no matter which side I sleep on. Colds, pollen and of course smoke don't help a bit.Smoke probably just gets the alien in my chest excited too the little ****er. His day is coming though... maybe I'll be able too look forward to getting a better sleep. One less thing right? Not looking forward to having my nose rebusted though. I certainly didn't enjoy it the first time which is probably a better story for the drunk culture thread.
Did you ever try these? My sinuses plug up due to allergies and I hate taking pills except in cases of extreme distress.I used to use the Breathe Right strips, but using them every night flays the nose. The Sleep Rights work well for me.
