Turns out that would also be all the other ice in existence. If so the change in sea level height, 60+m, would be far more important than anything to do with a current that may or may not stop. At current rates of melting all this is thousands of years away.
To get it to collapse they added 5 times as much freshwater as is contained in the Greenland ice cap. Enquiring minds would like to know where this has come from.
fyi the current has strengthened in the past decade
Record cereal production, record lack of poverty, reductions in cold weather deaths will outweigh increase in heat related deaths, perhaps the trend in low hurricane landfalls and low tornado activity will continue. The sea will continue to rise at 1/8" per year. The Earth will get greener. OK, this is all assuming linear trends based on the last 40 years. Catastrophising by going to non linear makes for good science fiction and bad policy.
I got a few snippets of info but mainly snark.
So, how much diesel do they burn? The night is ~12 hours long, 3 hours of power from the battery and 9 hours of blackout?
What a piece of greeny propaganda. Last year diesel supplied 38% of the power for the big island, and probably more elsewhere.
One solution is to use the same proxies throughout. As an example Briffa's tree rings were used for the last thousand years, yet actually show a drop in temperature recently.
Tree rings are lousy thermometers to be honest, temp is far less important than CO2 and water.
"world's agreed-upon warming threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius"
Not really, that's politics not science. Still, the usual hysterics will moan.
In other news, in general human beings migrate to warmer climates, given the choice.
Significant cold spells in Germany and China. It's called global warming, not American urban heat island warming.
Results highlight a net increase in land area in Tuvalu of 73.5 ha (2.9%), despite sea-level rise, and land area increase in eight of nine atolls.9 Feb 2018
The reason is bleeding obvious. Atolls are made of coral which grows to stay within a certain distance of the surface of the sea. But carry on with your climate alarmism
So is increasing California snowfall also a warning sign? I love global warming, it explains increasing snowfall, decreasing snowfall, droughts, floods, increasing extreme weather, decreasing extreme weather (hurricanes) and so on. It's brilliant.
"solar and wind are 10x cheaper than oil and gas"
Utter drivel China India and Africa want coal and nuclear. Not unreliable solar and wind.
WAG 94% efficient due to friction in each gear pair. Could easily be worse. That space is usually brakes. You fell for clickbait.
That 10% figure is very dodgy as the membership of the S&P 500 is dynamic and self selecting. So if you buy individual shares and a company goes bust it disappears from the S&P 500, but that index is not affected. OK so the answer is an index tracker.
To average a return of 7% you have to avoid the once every 7 year (on average) crash, and you also need to account for inflation. This would vastly reduce the $167000 carrot.
Typically 2% but a cluey seller might make it 1% up to a certain figure and 10% of everything over that. I haven't seen buyer's agents except for very high end stuff.
Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
