"Green" policies are destroying this country

a little background reading from a philosophical point of view about whether one could call climatology a science. Since many physicists tend to dismiss it as a politically faux science that no real physicist should take serious this article highlights the many issues involved in it. I think philosophers have no skin in the game generally and are well able to look at this from a more sensible bird's eye perspective. I hope this will provide some insights that the uninitiated often lack..

If we get 3 years of declining temperatures worldwide what will the proposed solutions be?

A roasting apocalypse sounds a lot better than having to hear people crying about emissions all the time. I'm all for it. Driving a v8 10 minutes down the road to the shops and picking up some steaks is a wonderful thing! You shan't remove this from me without a dreadful scrap 😄

The scary thing is with your outlook you could be a troll or a very very credible Green Party member with bright future within that party!

Lol. Another link where you went with the headline rather than listen to what it said.

They can fook right off.

I drive a 15 year old car so I should go off and buy a new car, which creates masses of new emissions in order for it to be built.

The Irish greens are the biggest bunch of miserable fookers.

They appear to have replaced those religious eejits that went around self-flagellating themselves.

They have refused to countenance nuclear and now they are going to go against electric cars.

So no personal transport bar a bicycle.

Folks the message now appears to be that unless you live basically in Dublin you can go fook yourself.

The parts that are there that you refuse to recgnise.

The French nuclear sector was allowed to get to the situation where so many plants are now off line for maintenance because the French government were getting so much grief from Germany and German influence within the E.U to follow Germany and shut down their plants. Something they were going to do until this present crisis where the saw what that has left Germany, the former Irish greens favourite stick to beat us with, and have now reversed that decision and are instead planning to build a fleet of new nuclear plants. The French may look a bit foolish at the moment, but nowhere as foolish as the Germans where nuclear is concerned. To add to their foolishness of now being in the situation that they have to keep their few plants operational, the German Economic Minister, a Green Party member recently blamed France for that because France may now no able to supply them with their usual quota of nuclear electricity. You really could not make it up, but the German Minister managed too.

Both the influence of Germany, and their good friend Austria on the E.U. and nuclear has waned with the E.U. recently changing the taxonomy rules on nuclear. Austria do not like that, but very much by the green playbook are refusing to accept a democratic vote and are running to the courts.

You have made a lot of these interconnectors for importing and exporting nuclear. Prior to this year France year on year have been the top exporter of electricity due to their nuclear plants. This year that honour went to Sweden due to their nuclear plants, so not difficult to see wy they are going to add to their nuclear plant numbers.

If you really are interested in discussing price then Flamamville 3 finished cost will be €12.5 Bn for a 1.6 GW plant. That is €7.8 Bn. per Gigawatt produced 24/7 at a mid 90% of capacity for domestic consumption. Compare that to the E.S.B. offshore plan and for just the offshore part of that plan alone, without all the hydrogen production and storage costs, best case based on the U.K. average construction offshore costs is over €12 Bn. per Gigawatt. Compared to Hornsea 1, €17 Bn. per Gigawatt.

So seeing as you have this new found interest in costs, why don`t you explain why this E.S.B. plan makes more sense cost wise than an alternative power source like nuclear.

Not only did I watch it, I watched it to the end, Something I`m not sure you came even close to doing.

So now with this new found interest in costings you appear to have from wherever, are you going to answer the question or just waste time prevaricating in your usual manner before sliding away ?

Can you explain why this E.S.B. plan makes more sense cost wise than an alternative power source like nuclear ?

Too hot= climate change, too cold= climate change, too dry= climate change, too wet= climate change

Every bloody article/item in the news..

Too many polar bears, too much coral recovery, too many supposedly flooding atols not flooding, not a word. It is as if the camera only zooms in on an extreme and then it is a forgone conclusion: whatever happens make sure you link it to climate change, no matter what the IPCC reports actually say.. oh and they dont seem to say climate change anymore but climate emergency. Change is apparently not enough. We need to panic and keep our focus on Co2 targets. Criminal. History books will look back at this in 30 years and put it in a special category under the header 'collective derangement' comparitive to the Nazi period in the 1930s.
