Ghostrider, this post is an excellent summary of where we're headed:

the link has been explained to you once peat, if you are too dumb to understand then there is no point wasting time explaining again. Yep AT like you spends a lot of time trawling the net time that could be better spent finding gainful employment.

Well, the people who do know about climate science have recently reported that extreme weather events are not linked to global warming. See this thread, previous page. So I wonder why Skeptical Science have still not changed their website? ("Extreme weather events are being made more frequent and worse by global warming") Makes you wonder how accurate the rest of their information is.

I only work when the wind blows and sometimes not even then.

This is an interesting take in the "interesting times" we're living in. I think he goes a bit far into conspiracy land on the terrorism bit, but the rest is pretty good.

At first I was all...

[ArabiaTerra]

Very interesting, Koy.

Except the part where Lovelock is wrong of course.

A pessimistic view of global warming:

I don't necessarily agree with everything he says, but I'm currently reading the links he's embedded in the article trying to find flaws in his reasoning.

Nothing so far.

should the above be on the global warming thread.

7 x 5kw turbines were installed last week. our is up and running producing at least 50kw each day. so even for a simple small turbine its looking like about a 50% efficiency. we are limited to only add 3.6 to the grid the other is dumped to a heater in the hall way. its never been as warm in there.

people are voting in quite large numbers to use alternative energy. none can be stand alone it needs a good mix of everything. with the possible volume of shale gas in the north sea we would be fools to ignore it.

however with an oil company planning to bypass shetland with their gas pipeline this should have us worried.

This document may help explain the problems with shale gas.
