Green Failure

Image
  In Australia on Tuesday February 13 th , 2024, over 500,000 Victorians were left without power, the authorities are blaming it solely on the collapse of several transmission towers. This claim comes from a government whose plan is to build more and bigger towers to carry green energy around the country. The reliance on green energy is part of the problem, storms and dark clouds reduce the production of electricity from solar panels and inhibit the production of power from wind turbines.   It is a strange fact that, even though this might sound like a contradiction, too much wind causes wind turbines to stop. Anything in excess of 25 m/s (90 km/hr) is dangerous for the wind turbine so it opts to shut down. When the anemometer registers wind speeds higher than 80 Kph (cut-out speed varies by turbine), it triggers the wind turbine to automatically shut off. The direct drive controller allows the machine to start at wind speeds of about 11 - 18 kilometr...

Vertical axis turbines.

  This is the way I keep saying we should build our wind turbines, then we wouldn't be burying them as landfill after only 10-20 years. We should also use metal blades that could be recycled.     These 1000-year-old ancient Persian vertical-axis windmills, standing in the arid landscape of Nashtifan, Iran; are not just relics but are still operational. Crafted from natural materials like wood and reeds, they harness the wind's power to grind grain, a testament to sustainable engineering from a millennium ago. Their enduring design is a marvel of early technological innovation, reflecting a deep understanding of environment and resourcefulness in using renewable energy long before the industrial age. #AncientPersian #Persian #Nashtifan #landscape #archaeological #archaeologist #Museum #Ancient #Historyfacts #History #Historic #Historical                            ...

Chemtrails

  Today conspiracy theorists are so often derided but eventually proved correct. There is one theory to which I take exception, that is the view that our governments are trying to kill off populations with the use of chemical agents in jet exhausts. It is a sad indictment on society that many people do seriously believe that governments are trying to kill them off, but the actions of many politicians could be construed as attacks on health, wealth, life, and liberty. It is more likely that politicians just do not care, than that they are deliberately planning to kill citizens. Some of the idea that there are chemicals being sprayed to kill people may be based on actual spraying that is done to spray herbicides or even insecticides in agricultural areas. In the early 1990’s herbicide was sprayed on the pine plantations near Ballarat, Victoria in Australia to eliminate weeds. Unfortunately, on the day of the spraying the wind was in the wrong direction and the spray settled over th...

The Age of Lunacy

  We are living in an era that will one day be recognised as the age of lunacy. There are so many views held by society that have become distorted and divorced from reality, from multiple genders to fear of doom due to global warming (since changed to climate change because the ice caps did not melt, and land masses did not sink under rising seas.) Gender questions are simply answered by a person’s genes, every cell in your body, except red blood cells, has either XX or XY genes. A very few people might have XXY and develop as a hermaphrodite but that is very rare and medical staff may have to decide on allocating a gender and whether surgery is required. They will not be as suggested by the cartoon South Park where Mrs Cartman was both her son’s Father and Mother. Gender dysphoria is a mental aberration and should be addressed as a mental problem, many people with this condition are prone to suicide, this propensity is not diminished by gender reassignment surgery. Surgery may i...

The Dunning Kruger Effect

The Dunning Kruger effect is an established pattern whereby it has been confirmed that the less someone actually knows about a subject the more likely they are to believe that their invariably false view is infallible. It is the driving concept behind such strange beliefs as the Earth is flat, the Moon Landings were faked, Jet exhausts are actually chemtrails where government authorities are pumping deadly chemicals into the atmosphere to kill people. The most insidious and misguided of these pseudo-science beliefs is that we are facing a deadly climate crisis and unless we get to zero carbon life on Earth will become extinct. Even after forty years of false claims and failed predictions the belief still has hold of many, particularly the young who have seen so little they cannot judge for themselves. Education or more rightly indoctrination has led many to believe that an increase of one degree Celsius in the next one hundred years would be catastrophic. Despite claims that the po...

Why geological activity is increasing?

Image
  In a previous blog I discussed the increased volcanic activity being experienced on Earth and its effect on climate, I would now like to point to a very good reason that it is happening now. The graph included in this blog is the one I used to portray how volcanic activity may be linked to increased CO 2 in the atmosphere, I have used this graph, because I trust the Smithsonian Institute. It shows that in 1800 Earth averaged 20 volcanic eruptions per year, but the number has increased steadily for over 200 years. Now in 2022 we are off the chart as we have now exceeded 80 eruptions for the year. The obvious question is now why have volcanic eruptions increased by so many and why did it start from 1800 and then seem to accelerate? It is hard to see how industry, automobiles, farming, or other physical activity could be responsible. The increased activity began well before the nuclear age or space travel so we can confidently rule out those. The 2022 Nobel Prize for Physics...

Convenient Omissions

  This report contains information previously published by Breitbart, Euronews and New York Times. The first climate conference was held in 1979 in the conference centre in Geneva, the idea that the planet was warming came shortly after the cooling period experienced in the 1970’s. It was logical that the planet should warm again after a cool period, but this was ignored in looking for causes and the warming was immediately blamed on CO 2 and human activity. Even though Earth has historically had much higher levels of CO 2 , even during an ice age. In 1999 Michael Mann presented the “Hockey stick Graph” showing global warming was going to continue to grow until the Earth was uninhabitable. Many predictions were made by warming enthusiasts, such as the Earth’s ice caps would be gone by 2012, Pacific Islands would be submerged under rising seas, and crops would fail everywhere. The climate enthusiasts labelled anyone who questioned their reasoning “climate deniers” and supressed...
