No, the world running on 50% renewables is certainly not a waste of man hours, after which the way to complete the job will be clear.

That is if there are enough resources for 50%. Dummy. Roll Eyes

Of course, but you don't sit around twiddling your thumbs wondering.

Quote:

And yet there is no ecological collapse, no extinction. Where are these occurring. Dummy. Roll Eyes

Oh dear ...the '6th great extinction' has started:
(google)
"Unlike previous extinction events caused by natural phenomena, the sixth mass extinction is driven by human activity, primarily (though not limited to) the unsustainable use of land, water and energy use, and climate change. Currently, 40% of all land has been converted for food production."

Quote:

You haven't even showed you have a salient point. Dummy. Roll Eyes

Dementia: we have to transition to renewables ASAP.

Quote:

Keen wouldn't know either. Dummy. Roll Eyes

And yet you do........(cough)......

Quote:

Exactly where has he said he will provide "near-zero cost of electricity for all". Everywhere there are large renewables has seen costs rise. Dummy. Roll Eyes

Nowhere is there anything near 50% continuous renewables power generation currently. But sunshine and wind are ....free.

And recall: we still need to spend $62 trillion for grid upgrade plus storage. Oops.

Quote:

And yet you can't cite the paper that says this. Dummy. Roll Eyes

You kindly cited it yourself....while quibbling about probabilities.

Quote:

Sheeple accept. Scientists are by nature sceptics. That is why we have advances in science - they question the status quo. Yours is simply a belief system. Gaia will provide. Dummy. Roll Eyes

Confused; the scientific consensus is we need to act to reduce CO2 emissions.

Quote:

Keen proved MMT with and accounting package. Grin

Yet macro-economics - studying the outcomes of the complexity of an almost infinite number economic transactions between parties (and individuals) is much wider than an accounting package relating to transactions between government and banks (in Keen's exercise).

Of course we can finish the transition; the Chinese are building nuclear plants at a faster rate than anyone else, so if necessary we can join them....

Quote:

Quibbling over whether it has started or not?

Quote:

"But it's coming, believe us".

Correct, but even more urgent is the change to a circular ie, no waste, non-polluting economy (and don't mention CO2 as "pollution", confirming your low IQ...)

Quote:

And nowhere have you shown why we "have to". Dummy.

The IPCC has convinced the world we have to; and real economists have explained externalities (eg pollution) have to be priced.

Quote:

Well as good as you with your lack of knowledge of Basic Accounting, let alone Advanced Accounting and Economics.

My interest is in macro-economics, not micro. That Keen - using Misky accounting software - was able to prove govt. can finance itself without incurring debt, is a side issue; MMT economists already knew it.

Quote:

The problem is the Germans decided to close their nuclear plants.

Quote:

Er ....we ARE chasing it, which is why Labor won the last election (via Greens and Teals support).

Quote:

Quote:

Addressed above; Keen considers he proved it; the thought of you disputing the fact with Keen makes me laugh.

Speaking of Keen: (from an email)

"Who’s to blame for the smoke that gave New York City the worst air quality in the world this June?

Economists.

Because they simply don’t understand what climate change means.

Rather than working out how to prevent it, they’ve argued that it’s trivial.

This is why we’ve done so little to address it, and why there are hundreds of fires in Canadian forests right now, with global temperatures at 1.2°C above pre-industrial levels.

A survey of economists who publish papers on climate change found that they believed that, if we hit 5°C over the next century, the rate of economic growth would fall by only 0.02%...

So rather than the economy growing at say 3% per year, it would grow by 2.98% per year.

That’s too small an effect to measure.

Canada has a long history of wildfires. Dummy. Roll Eyes

"The recent wildfires occurred in the boreal forests of northern Quebec. Fire isn’t rare in that region. The ecology of these forests relies on fire for the release of seeds and forest health. Many of the major boreal fires occur during a narrow temporal window from mid-April through early June, just after the winter snow has melted and before grasses and other small plants grow, reducing flammability. During this short window, the dead vegetation from the previous year can dry out sufficiently to burn if there is an ignition source such as lightning or errant human activity."

https://www.wsj.com/articles/canadian-wildfires-climate-change-new-york-smoke-gl...

So what caused the fires? Warm weather? People? Lightning?

Warm weather doesn't start fires. Match - 600-800C. Temperature in Canada? A lot less. Dummy Roll Eyes

Yep. And still some people want to spend trillions of dollars on something with little effect. It is cheaper to adapt, but not with renewables. Dummy. Roll Eyes

Quote:

Real orthodox neoclassical economists say many things, proving their orthodoxy is wrong. Unlike heterodox (MMT) economists.

Quote:

Not so; eg, "there are are sufficient resources in the world to eradicate poverty"...no money-counting necessary (since money is created out of nothing). Treasuries need to become measurers of resources, not money.

Quote:

MMT economists haven't "proved" it either. Dummy. Roll Eyes

See above, reality doesn't need to be "proved".

Er ....Keen is exposing orthodox economists' denial of climate change, and their calls for politically-toxic carbon taxes to fix emissions, by underestimating the effects of those CO2 emissions.

So - in the light of all those answers, who is the "dummy"? ....

Finally, because cremated ashes are sterile, they will not add any beneficial microorganisms to the soil."

Floods - In summary there is low confidence in the human influence on the changes in high river flows on the global scale. Confidence is in general low in attributing changes in the probability or magnitude of flood events to human influence because of a limited number of studies and differences in the results of these studies, and large modelling uncertainties.

IPCC AR6 WG1 11.5.4

Droughts - There is medium confidence in the ability of ESMs to simulate trends and anomalies in precipitation deficits and AED, and also medium confidence in the ability of ESMs and hydrological models to simulate trends and anomalies in soil moisture and streamflow deficits, on global and regional scales

IPCC AR6 WG1 11.6.3.6

Cyclones - The SREX (Chapter 3) concluded that there is low confidence in observed long-term (40 years or more) trends in TC intensity, frequency, and duration

IPCC AR6 WG1 11.7

"Burke, who was 11 in 1966, was in New York City for a family wedding. He recalls being holed up at the hotel most of the time because after just a few minutes outside, they would have to “wash pollution off your face and hands,” he said.

“I hadn’t seen anything like it in my life before or since,” he said."

Yes, hottest recorded June temp., another nail in the coffin of your AGW-CO2 denial

Oh dear. You just don't understand Urban Heat Island Effect. The larger the population the larger the inherent temperature. And of course less airflow. All those concrete buildings heating up and retaining heat. Dummy. Roll Eyes

But tell me where I have denied AGW-CO2 effect? Roll Eyes

Read your own quote above, again.

So the hottest in 60 years. So tell us what the temperature was during the 1930's when there were high temperatures globally. Dummy. Roll Eyes

they are saying that even if the climate is changing due to AGW, the economic effects will be small.

Yes. So why spend trillions of dollars for little economic effect. It is cheaper to provide A/C. Dummy. Roll Eyes

I refer you to the IPClimateChange consensus of scientists.

So we know you don't do science. I will explain. In CO2 theory, increasing CO2 has a logarithmically decreasing effect. That means most of the warming occurred in the first 300ppm. Dummy. Roll Eyes

or this

So tell us the huge amount of warming. Dummy. Roll Eyes

Norway's quest for 'black gold' from used car batteries

Story by AFP • Yesterday 3:24 pm

Industry leader Norway, where electricity is almost exclusively generated by renewable energies, is the uncontested world champion of zero-emission electric cars, with the latter accounting for more than 80 percent of new car registrations.

Bwian who is going to control this brand new global financial system?

The people already gathered in various forums around the world examining how to deal with the crippling developing-nation debt crisis - and how to achieve a global transition - including those nations - to renewables ASAP, will decide on the control mechanism.
