Climate change discussion

Of course, Vera. Now then , sit quietly and ponder on the new battery technologies while you play with your Chinese dollies.

If- as they believe- CO2 is the life-or-death issue then why should they tolerate any time-wasting, self-serving and spurious opposition to survival ?

Do you really believe that the condemned man should listen to the hangman's reasons for pulling the lever ?

of course. better tell Biden, he just switched oil transportation from safe ;pipelines to dangerous trucks and trains.

Warren Buffett owns the train company!
 
Hello and welcome redfish,



I'll be happy to address every one of your points as long as we can have an agreement to be polite. No down-talking to each other, OK? Mutual respect, or forget it.

That work for you?

I’ll start.

1) Yes it has
2) Not until recently
3) Right and wrong
4) Why do you indist on 100%?
5) Great
6) For now
7) You don’t know ‘never’ from shit
8) For now
9) Dumb question
10) WTF does that even mesn?
11) So?
12) Bullshit
13) Says you?
 
I am aware of alternative battery chemistries unlike you. I don't see anything replacing lithium ion for at least a decade.

Lithium metal batteries are extremely dangerous. They are not rechargeable. Lithium oxide batteries are, and are somewhat safer (battery fires are intense class A fires, like a firework). Their big advantage is weight. These are the lightest weight batteries for the power available in them. They also have a reasonably low internal resistance, making them ideal for small lightweight portable devices like phones and portable video game consoles, RC vehicles, and even passenger cars. Charging them is a bit tricky, since over current or over voltage can cause a fire. Their use is also a bit tricky. Over currents can cause a fire. Current MUST be limited to a safe value at all times. These batteries are also not very recyclable. It can be done, but it requires special equipment that is costly. It's cheaper in most cases to simply discard the battery into a landfill and manufacture a new battery from lithium ore.

Lead-acid batteries are an excellent battery, if light weight isn't a concern. Indeed, in some cases, the weight of this battery is advantageous, acting as a counterweight in a forklift, for example.
These batteries are cheap, easily recyclable, and require only lead, a weak sulfuric acid solution for the electrolyte, and a lead oxide paste on one of the plates (giving it a different work function), and of course a plastic case to but it all in. These batteries have one of the lowest internal resistances, which makes them ideal for high current applications where weight is not a major factor. Starter motors, electric fork lifts, and some electric cars (well, anvil really :D) are typical uses of this battery.

Silver oxide cells (some coin style cells) and alkaline based batteries (these batteries come in sizes ranging from AAAA, AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, and N) are not usually considered rechargeable (although it is possible to recharge some types a few times). These are the so-called 'disposable' batteries, and are commonly used in cameras, flashlights (torches for you in the UK :D), hearing aids, some smaller computers, remote controls, etc.

There is no 'best' battery. Each battery is suited to it's purpose. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages.
 
Meh. The ASPCA worries about animals. There's always someone alarmed about something including you being alarmed about climate alarmism. ;)

I'm talking about the tech needed to get to Mars. Like the tech we are all benefitting from due to the Space Race and wars, renewable energy sources for spacecraft and colonies can be used by those who stay on this planet.

enviro-lies and co2 alarmism is to justify mass murder.
 
maybe all the excess shipping and energy waste required by the hyper-globalist model could he reduced with self reliance and local production.

You would be surprised what is locally produced. Shipping happens because something is available cheaper abroad despite it's shipping costs, or can't be manufactured here because of environmental nutcase liberals that shut out local manufacturing of something.

or chinese malevolence and traitorous american enablers just want to outsource as much as possible to elliminate american independence and self determination.

that's more likely.
 
you left out one thing about wind power. Those towers require gallons of oil for lubrication which can leak into the ground around them. they also kill birds. and the worn out propellers are an environment hazard. there is no way to get rid of them so they are cut up and buried.

Your general theme is correct. there are dangers with all forms of energy. There are dangers in life, we just need to try to minimize them.

...and to respect these dangers. It's dangerous to drive a car. We respect that danger (in most cases) and stay on the correct side of the road, watch out for idiots that aren't paying attention, and don't drive at maniacal speeds for the conditions. We respect that semi next to us on the freeway, and what it can potentially do. It's dangerous to walk. We respect traffic around us (at last most of us do).

There is certainly some of that, true. Remember though, that we import a LOT of stuff from places other than China.
We export a lot of stuff too.

Trade is just an international version of the local markets right down the street.

it's mostly that.

sincere environmentalists would care about excessive shipping, but they're globalist human haters first and foremost.
 
as you know, raising awareness is always step one. I look forward to your support.

I support reason and science, not alarmist politics regardless of the source.

Climate change is national security problem. It exists. What we do about it is debatable. Good news, however, since "Global Warming saves lives". :thup:
