Small nuke plants at the datacenter. This is the way!

They're restarting one of the units at Three Mile Island to supply Microsoft with datacenter power...

Saw that. Outstanding. AI datacenters need to supply their own power. The grid shouldn't be expected to facilitate their power needs, nor should the DCs want to rely on them. Just need the powers that be to support nuke power!

Man-made climate change is a sham driven by the left to justify redistribution from makers to takers.

CO2 is only 0.04% of the atmosphere. 99.96% is other stuff, primarily nitrogen and oxygen.

Of the 0.04%, 95% of that is from natural causes like volcanoes, forest fires, decomposition, etc.

Only 5% of the 0.04% is from human activity.

It's a non-starter, yet Joe and Jane Q Public have bought the climate alarmism narrative hook, line, and sinker.

there's a reason they call it "carbon" and not C02. We all knew from 5th grade science class what CO2 is and why it necessary. But "carbon", that's bad.

I don't think the left will ever give up this belief. If we turned into perpetual winter for 100 years they'd still claim global warming...uh climate change...

Like "systematic racism", "climate change" has become a problem that puts food on the table for millions. If this "problem" goes away, so do the livelihoods of those people. Its become a multi-billion dollar industry.

It must remain an ambiguous unmeasurable threat to get unlimited funding. If it ever goes back to clean air/water, conservativation of wildlife/habitat, then its a solvable problem where funding can taper off.

The current server farms used to train AI systems and run inference are very inefficient.

Do you need powerplants rivalling state power plants to power and train a human brain over several decades? No. Not anywhere close. There needs to be R&D into making this way more efficient.

Actually you do, or you will very soon. The compute power needed to train the latest AI models is growing faster than Moore's law can provide the efficency gains needed to keep power requirements steady.

And that's why nuclear power is really the best solution.

Imagine what we could accomplish that most would agree on if we focused on actual, real issues here. The vast majority of us want these things regardless of politics, but we aren't allowed to focus on them because of the watermelons.

One word

Coal

There done, power needed bridged

Coal is terrible compared to nat gas and nuclear. Time to let that one slowly die on the vine.

I'm not saying that we should force plant closures, just not build anymore new ones unless they are right "next door" to coal producing regions.

If you live in areas where coal is produced, isn't coal quite competitive with natural gas?

New Study: Great Barrier Reef Coral Cover 'At Its Highest Since Monitoring Began In 1985'

Quote:

Coral coverage was supposed to be existentially devastated by the modern tenths-of-a-degree increases in sea surface temperatures and recurring bleaching events.

However, a new study points to assessments of coral cover percentages in the Great Barrier Reef and concludes is "at its highest since monitoring began in 1985."

Further, the analysis reveals there is "no consistent correlation between rising temperatures and reduced coral cover," and that "most corals [are] demonstrating rapid recovery" from bleaching.

Not seeking an argument or judging in any way, but what is your objection to coal? And why would proximity of the coal plant to the coal mines make a difference?

Objection to coal: (relative comparison)
- Dirty, more polluting fuel
- Expensive to mine
- Expensive to transport
- Puts workers at greater safety risk while mining
- I think, less efficient burn, could be mistaken here.

Proximity:
- Reduces transportation costs, making it more viable
- Provides the workers who are willing with decent paying jobs, especially in poorer Appalachia

It's not that coal is a hill I'll die on, it's that nat gas is safer, cheaper, cleaner, and more abundant.

"Clean coal" is a myth as it is too expensive to retrofit to a plant. It's how Obama drove them into shutting down, because $0 is cheaper than -$500MM.

Like clockwork, after this article from Bloomberg, Bill Gates comes out with an editorial in the NY Post reversing his position on climate change.

The "illuminati" are realizing their precious machine learning processors can't function with wind and solar.

Fair enough. Minor correction to state that coal is our most abundant resource per the US Energy Information Administration:

Quote:

In the United States, coal resources are larger than remaining natural gas and oil resources, based on total British thermal units (Btu).

It's estimated that closer to 30% of the CO2 in the atmosphere is from human activity. Pre-industrial CO2 for the last million years ranged from 170 ppm to 300 ppm. In the last century, CO2 increased from ~280 ppm to ~430 ppm. This increase is not due to natural CO2 sources.

There was a period known as the Little Ice Age with cooler temperatures. As we warmed our way up out of it, it would be surprising if CO2 levels did not increase during that period. It would likely be quite difficult to say how much of the increases in CO2 over the last 100 years was due to natural warming and how much was due to man's activities.

Hope your right but the coal and O&G lobby will be fighting nuke expansion


I don't think they are going to win this one. Ultimately, conservatives want nuke power because it's the most efficient and cleanest and the left will want nuke because it's the lesser of evils in their mind from an environmental impact standpoint.


If past is prologue I would bet O&G
But I also believe it was O&G interests ( Russian Bots ) that convinced Europe to shutter some of it Nuclear generation capacity.

Anti-nuke useful idiots aka green energy zealots are working for O&G interests whether they realize it or not.

If you look at the Vostok ice core data for the past millions of years, you'll see that CO2 increases LAG temperature increases.

This implies that the CO2 is not driving the temperature increase but, rather, increasing due to the temperature increase...

This is great observation. Yes, it is true that non-CO2 induced warming initiated warming cycles in the past and therefore CO2 was not the initiating forcing function for many past warming cycles. However, CO2 did play a role as a feedback to amplify global temperatures further after initial natural warming. This past behavior is not analogous to what we are seeing today. The lag relationship between CO2 and temperature has reversed due to human induced CO2 which was a CO2 input that hadn't existed in the past million years. Atmospheric CO2 is now the primary initiating forcing function for warming today, unlike in previous warming cycles, which is precisely the argument today by the science community.

My rebuttal to anyone who makes this argument is that percentage is not what matters...it's potency. I'm assuming you wouldn't want high levels of arsenic in your drinking water. Up to 0.00001% (100 ppb) can be toxic and that is why the EPA limit is 0.000001% (10 ppb). This is a very small percentage but potency is high. CO2 behaves the same way in the atmosphere even in trace amounts. It's extremely potent at trapping heat.

I'm not aware of changes in earth's proximity to the sun in the past century that would explain a 1.2C increase in average global temperature. Please enlighten me.

Volcanic particulates and aerosols released from the size/frequency of eruptions we have witnessed in the past century are short-lived (less than a decade) and do not drive long-term climate trends such as the temperature rise we are currently in. Massive, persistent eruptions would have long-term climate impacts.

The science behind CO2's greenhouse effect is well-established. The rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration from 0.028% to 0.043% is significant.

As I previously stated, volcanic activity can have short-lived impacts on global temperatures. Volcanic activity is not the reason the global average temperature has increased 1.2C in the past century.

Seasonal changes aren't due to the Earth's center of mass getting closer or further from the sun. It's due to the Earth's tilt on its axis. When it's summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere that is because the northern hemisphere is tilted in the direction of the sun...not because the Earth overall is closer. Now the Earth does have a slight elliptical orbit but this doesn't play a significant role in Earth's seasons or long-term climate change.

Man-made climate change is a sham driven by the left to justify redistribution from makers to takers.

CO2 is only 0.04% of the atmosphere. 99.96% is other stuff, primarily nitrogen and oxygen.

Of the 0.04%, 95% of that is from natural causes like volcanoes, forest fires, decomposition, etc.

Only 5% of the 0.04% is from human activity.

It's a non-starter, yet Joe and Jane Q Public have bought the climate alarmism narrative hook, line, and sinker.


It's estimated that closer to 30% of the CO2 in the atmosphere is from human activity. Pre-industrial CO2 for the last million years ranged from 170 ppm to 300 ppm. In the last century, CO2 increased from ~280 ppm to ~430 ppm. This increase is not due to natural CO2 sources.

So you're saying it went up from 0.038% of the atmosphere to 0.04%. Oh no.

My rebuttal to anyone who makes this argument is that percentage is not what matters...it's potency. I'm assuming you wouldn't want high levels of arsenic in your drinking water. Up to 0.00001% (100 ppb) can be toxic and that is why the EPA limit is 0.000001% (10 ppb). This is a very small percentage but potency is high. CO2 behaves the same way in the atmosphere even in trace amounts. It's extremely potent at trapping heat.

Such a tired argument. Proximity to the sun and particulate matter in the upper atmosphere from volcanic eruptions affect the surface temperature of the earth far more than 0.02 % more of the atmosphere consisting of CO2.


I'm not aware of changes in earth's proximity to the sun in the past century that would explain a 1.2C increase in average global temperature. Please enlighten me.

Volcanic particulates and aerosols released from the size/frequency of eruptions we have witnessed in the past century are short-lived (less than a decade) and do not drive long-term climate trends such as the temperature rise we are currently in. Massive, persistent eruptions would have long-term climate impacts.

The science behind CO2's greenhouse effect is well-established. The rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration from 0.028% to 0.043% is significant.



One year after Tambora there was no summer. It was devastating.

Look the climate is always changing. You don't know the perfect temp of the Earth because it's always in flux over time.

And if you don't believe proximity to the sun affects temperature just wait until this winter.

As I previously stated, volcanic activity can have short-lived impacts on global temperatures. Volcanic activity is not the reason the global average temperature has increased 1.2C in the past century.

Seasonal changes aren't due to the Earth's center of mass getting closer or further from the sun. It's due to the Earth's tilt on its axis. When it's summer in the northern hemisphere, it is winter in the southern hemisphere that is because the northern hemisphere is tilted in the direction of the sun...not because the Earth overall is closer. Now the Earth does have a slight elliptical orbit but this doesn't play a significant role in Earth's seasons or long-term climate change.

Go back and read the title to this thread. Note the hoax part. You have bought into a pack of lies. Mankind has not changed the climate. And 1 or 2 degrees Celsius over the lifespan of the earth is nothing.

Oh my, what rampant ignorance. Instead of platitudes and talking points, the actual data shows something quite different. Amazing how a molecule whose absorption bands are almost entirely blacked out by broad water vapor absorption can produce such "catastrophic" warming:



Potent little suckers, I tell ya!

How was this "average global temperature" increase determined exactly? 100 years ago the global distribution of thermometers was very limited. Were the temperature stations standardized? How were the regional temperatures weighted into the global average? How was the calibration standardized or were the thermometers even calibrated at all? How was this century selected as the benchmark for global temperatures?

Please don't come back with inferred temperatures from ice cores or tree rings or the number of spots on Andulusian Mountain Toads or whatever. I want to see consistently recorded data with an explanation of how that data was averaged. TIA

This is a great graphic. Thanks for sharing.

Water vapor isn't the driver of climate change, it's a short-term amplifier. Water vapor only stays in the atmosphere for about one or two weeks, so it can't sustain global warming on its own. Its concentration depends entirely on temperature. When long-lived gases like CO2 and methane warm the air, more water vapor can exist, which then amplifies that initial warming. Without those long-lived gases maintaining higher global temperatures, water vapor would quickly condense and rain out, bringing the atmosphere back into balance. On top of that, CO2 absorbs heat in parts of the infrared spectrum where water vapor has less impact especially around the 13-17 micrometer band. This band is key where Earth radiates a significant portion of heat to space (in the 8-15 micrometer band). That means even small increases in CO2 block heat that water vapor can't, making CO2 the forcing function of long-term climate change while water vapor, even with broader absorption bands, mostly only magnifies the effect.

Laughable that people still cling to this utter BS.

I mean really. After all the fraud, all the bad data, all the political hypocrisy, I'm just floored that people cannot look at the geopolitical context of this sham and act like anyone is willing to do anything about it.

The absolute arrogance on display is gross. There are some seriously stupid people in this world.

If you do not trust the work of agencies like NASA, NOAA, and other scientific agencies that came up with this data, then I doubt I'll convince you. Too bad you and I aren't hovering over the climate scientist's backs to double check their work right?
