UN Climate Change Launches First-Ever Annual Report

[kensi]

UN Climate Change today launched its first-ever Annual Report, laying
out the key 2017 achievements and pointing to the future of the climate
change process. "Climate Change is the single biggest threat to life,
security and prosperity on Earth," said UN Climate Change:

That's deluded.

It pales in comparison to the threat from a big ass asteroid.

A 52 page, photo-filled self-congratulatory puff piece that can
be summed up on one sentence: "We spent 47 million dollars to
talk a lot and accomplish nothing of substance."

Learn to live with it, because it is what it is, and we have no way to
change it into whatever it isn't. Just be glad it isn't another
"Snowball Earth" ice age. This shit is relatively minor in the Grand

Funny that the same folks who use examples of local weather events to
support claims of climate change say "you can't do do that" when the
other side does the same thing.

How does Nads know there is no big ass asteroid? Well it's simple when
you are a lefty lib. You simply imagine something and it immediately is
truth! Just like your SUV causing hurricanes (forget el Nino) fires,
drought, floods, rain, snow, record hot, record cold, record stock
market, alien invasion, and of course Trump being elected. Yes! CO2 did
it all! Nads said so! And "she" will say anything else she thinks you
are gullible enough to believe.

It's what she's paid to do.

[benj]

Prepare? Oh yeah, I saw the movie. Just send our heroes and blow it up!

Except of course that was lefty Hollywood Lib "science". If you blow it
up the center of mass of the debris still hits the earth. Maybe all the
"wind" from global warming will deflect it at the last minute (in
Hollywood the "save" is always at the last minute).

Basically all you really can do is put your head between your knees and
kiss your ass goodbye.

Because asteroids don't have asses.

[Trevor Wilson]

**Movies are not necessarily real life. The whole idea of tracking
dangerous asteroids, is so that we may have a chance of dealing with the
asteroid and/or it's ramifications. If, for instance, we have 10 years'
warning of a "big ass asteroid", then it MAY be possible to nudge it
into a different orbit. Maybe.

nope. That movie sucked too.
take a 10,000 # asteroid moving at 20,000 mph,
What is the force needed to change its direction by x degrees ?

how slowly must the force be applied so as not to tare apart the asteroid ?

how do you aim and time a rocket thruster bolted to an asteroid when the
asteroid is spinning in 1 or 2 axis ?

when you know that, you can tell Bruce Willis to go fix it.


from your nasa link;

"Deflecting an asteroid that is on an impact course with Earth requires
changing the velocity of the object by less than an inch per second
years in advance of the predicted impact. The two most promising
techniques that NASA is investigating are the kinetic impactor (hitting
an asteroid with an object to slightly slow it down) and the gravity
tractor (gravitationally tugging on an asteroid by station-keeping a
large mass near it)."

so who is going to put that fat ass tugger up there? Elon Musk can send
20,000 Teslas up in a bunch....

It is not necessary to "(try to) deal with global warming."

It is a fool's errand.

We can (try to) deal with a "big ass asteroid" and some other real
problem simultaneously if people with the purse strings will ignore
the hysterical shrieking from your comrades about a non-problem.

Knowing the "big one" is coming and being "prepared" are different

Newsflash, kooky: the earth has finite fossil fuels and we've already used
more than half of them up. We will *necessarily* transition to cleaner
energy sources. The only choice we get is when, and maybe how messily.
Might as well be now and as smoothly as we can manage it. And that will
deal with AGW in the process.

[benj]

Nads idea of "smooth" is a quick return to the middle ages to
"stabilize" the climate. Forget that we've got 300 years worth of coal
which could be used without problem if a little effort were put into
"clean coal". Oh wait! We all make fun of coal and use oil and gas until
it runs out and THEN return to the middle ages. OF course we COULD have
an energy tax that could fund clean coal research, but it's really much
better to give that money away to Third World dictators to waste and
live high until everything crashes. In Nads world logic and reason play
no role.

It's all *you* know how to do, and you're content to stay there by
spending money on AGW instead of this?

So it's a self-extinguishing problem that needs no shrieking from
religious zealots for its solution.

The "cleaner energy sources" we need are nukes or something we haven't
found yet because we have been wasting too much money on AGW.

Windmills and PV panels won't cut it no matter how many batteries
(with their own problems) are thrown at them.

She doesn't, perhaps, but I do:

http://www.terradaily.com/reports/Earth_Playing_Cosmic_Roulette_With_Asteroids.html

We've more or less found all the dino-killer-sized ones. None poses a
near-term threat to Earth. There are a few in the kilometer range -- a
few times smaller and 1/100 or less the mass -- that we haven't found
and a few more that may at least pass close by some decades in the
future, but none known to be on a collision course. The major risk is a
Tunguska-sized or Chelyabinsk-sized object hitting either ocean or a
populated area. (As Tunguska itself demonstrated, one this size hitting
low-population-density land is not much of a threat.)

The risks from climate change are also well-documented: sea-level rise,
floods, fires, supercharged storms, droughts affecting cities' water
supplies, disruptions to agriculture from droughts and other causes,
shifts in pest and disease ranges (mostly expansion to higher
latitudes), and lethal heat waves. And probably more.

If you value the natural world, though as conservatives you probably
don't, add in coral bleaching and other ecosystem and habitat disruption.

CO2 has another effect beside warming: ocean acidification. That also
damages coral reefs and disrupts ecosystems. Disrupted ecosystems, from
warming and from acidification, in turn disrupt fisheries, timberlands,
and other economically-important resources.

No, the particular climate change happening now is bad.

Increased CO2 makes more plants grow faster larger, making the planet

There is only one climate change happening now?

Where is it?

If more than one climate change is happening now, are they *all* bad?

Never mind your dodgy "all changes are bad in some way."

The question is: Are they *all* bad enough to put effort into stopping
*all* climate changes *everywhere*?

If so, what makes you think that is possible?

How do you know in what direction a climate would be changing in a
particular location if humans had *no* influence?

How do you know we are (ever so slightly) nudging *that* climate in
the "wrong" direction?

HeY! Kalifornia just mandated, SOLAR PANELS ON EVERY HOUSE, so stupid.

they should have done solar farms instead.

Guess they did not want to pay for that, and now soak the homeowner to
prop up Elon Musk.

Solar mounting must be flat on the roof IAW Kaliforna laws.

loose 50% of solar power because the panels do not track the sun, (a
solar farm tracks the sun.)

they loose another 50% because they only get morning sun or afternoon
sun, and must be mounted with a poor angle to the sun, (not 90 degrees)

so from the get go, Kalifornia has doomed their solar power industry, by
only being able to collect only 25%.

so they blew out their cost analysis, mounting on homes is far more
expensive than a solar farm, and with the panels poorly orentated the
cost is 4 times more.

kensi pupa's *headdesk* is simply a way to change the subject, refer to
emotional no think, rather than discuss the reality of system losses in
Solar power, because 'she' can't, too girly?, dosen't know it, like
McGinn discussing Water Vapor, almost.

If my understanding is correct, new ones could wander in from the outer
solar system from time to time ... but if we are vigilant and spot them
early, the minimum time before they could pose a threat would be measured
in decades.

Climate change posts a threat right now. Indeed, it has already killed

Maybe Dr. Kensington thinks the asteroid comes in a container, and she
wishes to weigh the asteroid, minus the weight of the container. All
asstrophysicists routinely do this with asteroids in containers.

Nice fanfic. Too bad for you that you lost and all the Monday morning
quarterbacking in the world can't change the outcome now. Indeed, you were
doomed from the get-go, because you backed the wrong side. You decided to
be climate deniers in a world where climate change actually is happening.
Oops!

We wouldn't, except that it is so easy to make you foam. How many of these
exclamation-marks and CAPS-riddled rants have you frothed out over the
last month or several? Seemingly every thread kensi starts ends up being
from 80 to as many as 300 articles long, a lot of them from your copious
ranting.

... and meanwhile you have yet to either substantiate the assertion that
there is meaningfully such a thing as "clean coal" *or* refute the claims
of myself and kensi upthread. It seems your "tries to change the subject"
blather is pure projection, because that's what you and benj keep doing:
deflect away from the actual substance.

Reread my link:

100% Renewable Energy is a reality today

Communities, regions, islands and countries across the world are
celebrating their recent transition to 100% renewable energy (RE) in
energy supply.

Look more closely this time. Note that it says cities and even whole
countries, not porch lights.

SPANKY-SPANKY!

You misspelled "Maybe Sergio thinks the asteroid comes in a container, and

she wishes to weigh the asteroid, minus the weight of the container. All

asstrophysicists routinely do this with asteroids in containers." HTH.

It counts them, but not on a per-thread basis. I've never felt the need
to obsess over that information, and it isn't necessarily relevant. For
instance, the "Penis Cascades" used to score among the highest, but were
hardly relevant.

Neither do you. The probability of massive asteroid collision
is estimated, but poorly.

Climate effects are being measured, both current changes
and the historical record. It is still a matter of
probability, but the base of data is much more extensive
for climate change.
