New study:
Solar panels and wind turbines (RES) can only meet annual energy demands 32% and 44% of the time...a 56-68% failure rate.
RES is "linked to higher electricity prices" and "increase reliance on fossil-fuel generation or increases the risk of blackouts."

So "Pride Month" is in full effect.
As such, I think it's a great time to remember the sage words from the master, Norm Macdonald, and his thoughts Pride.
@tricia7191@GeoffreyLean The polar bear hoax re-emerges! Polar bear populations were in decline in the 60s and 70s due to hunting, not ice loss. Their population has doubled in the past 20 years.
@HuppenthalJohn Guess what? There were no Swiss glaciers 2000 years ago. Alps glaciers have been advancing and retreating for millions of years, and none of it has any relationship to atmospheric CO₂. https://t.co/P5RrxyWlZk
The Muslim Nanny who decapitated a girl then carried her head through the streets screaming 'Allahu Akbar'
“She will be free after just five years in a psychiatric ward after doctors "cure" her.
Western Civilisation is in moral decay & is collapsing.
@SirNotAppearing The Thwaites Ice Sheet is melting due to an active tectonic rift and volcanic activity at its base - has nothing whatsoever to do CO₂ or human activity.
@nickcapra_gpc@DawnTJ90 “Vigorous melting' at Antarctica's Thwaites 'Doomsday' Glacier”
Thwaites sits atop a geothermal trench. That's the reason for melt.
Throughout the last 10,000 years the Thwaites Glacier was "significantly thinner" (2-7 m) than it is today. Today it's 35-40 m thick.
More fun climate facts: CO₂ at high latitudes (poles) has a cooling effect on the earth’s surface. (Wijngaarden & Happer, 2020). Carbon dioxide isn’t melting ice anywhere in the Arctic or Antarctic.

Climate Fun Facts: There is a higher concentration of CO2 at the South Pole than elsewhere. This is because the water vapor there, Earth’s predominant "greenhouse" gas, has frozen. This leaves a higher percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere. So if CO2 and temperature are related in the way we are expected to believe, shouldn’t the rise in temperature be significantly higher at the South Pole than elsewhere? The opposite is true.
@JarvisAeneas When exactly has the climate not been changing? It’s colder and there’s more ice on the planet than there has been for 95% of the past 100 million years. It’s such a silly thing to worry about - outside of major nuclear war, humans have no effect on the earth’s climate.
New study:
~14,000 yrs ago (230 ppm CO2), the Arctic was sea ice free year-round.
Sea ice was seasonal, first-year (not multi-year) during the early Holocene.
Today, Arctic sea ice is first-year in a "multi-year environment," similar to ~16,000 yrs ago.
