Taking a longer view, when the next ice age is developing, someone will surely ask, "What the hell did they think they were doing, getting rid of greenhouse gases?"

 

If this pretend Jag, currently behaving itself, decides to become unfriendly, I will resurrect either the MK X or the MK VII, not a computer in sight, and only 4 fuses in each car, how simple things were once.

 

There is a school of thought that the next ice age is already underway.
We are currently in an interglacial (ie warmish) period called the Holocene, and in the recent geological past these interglacial periods have usually lasted 8,000 or 10,000 years or thereabouts. The current period, the Holocene, is already around 12,000 years old so we are well overdue for the end of it and the start of the next ice age.
Of course no-one has a clue what causes or triggers ice ages or interglacial periods.

There has been a lot of work done on solar cycles and especially about long and short term cycles and what happens when they get in phase with each other. True to say they dont absolutely know but their predictions seems more accurate than the climate catastrophists whose record stand at approximately zero.

 

Yes, we Australians are definitely saving the planet by shutting down a few coalfired power stations in SA, Vic and soon in NSW
China built TWO new coalfired power stations EVERY WEEK in 2022.
The largest coalfired power station in the world is in China.
Fortunately, in QLD the majority of coalfired power stations are owned by the state government and the other couple are in government joint partnership with private industry.
I suppose we will end up being a major supplier to the grid feeding other states.
I still don't get it!

 

We had quite a large power outage, couple hours for as far as I could reasonably drive, from 8pm to around 10pm.
Probably someone plugged one too many Teslas.
