Michael Knowles at University of Cincinnati: The Green New Dealers Are a Doomsday Cult

Michael Knowles takes on environmentalism at University of Cincinnati.

The last question is a good one, but I think the answer missed some key points. Basically, he asks why aren't we moving more toward Green Energy. What's the downside of doing that? The downsides of these energies are: 1) if you have windmills, what happens when the wind doesn't blow? Are you willing for the hospital to suddenly and periodically run out of electricity? And how many thousands of wind farms would you need in order to supply the energy needs of our country? How many natural resources are needed to both manufacture and maintain wind turbines? And how much valuable land would be given over to the production of wind energy? 2) if you have solar panels, what happens when the sun doesn't shine and when it is nighttime? What happens on a cold and gray Minnesota or Michigan winter's day? How often are you willing to go push the snow off your solar panels? You cannot efficiently store electricity, so how do you deal with these interruptions? Fossil fuels are always available. They don't depend on the wind blowing and the sun shining. They can fuel a car or semi cross country in a way electricity cannot at this point in time. You will inevitably depend on fossil fuel backups (for electricity generation) in order to supplement when the wind doesn't blow and the sun doesn't shine. In other words, you will have to KEEP that fossil fuel generating plant in working and optimal order at all times, if and when it is needed. This is not as easy and inexpensive as people would like to assume. Now can we MOVE in the direction of more 'renewable' energy? Certainly. We have already done that and we should continue. It makes great sense to have a solar panel farm in Central/Southern Arizona. May not make a lot of sense in Minnesota, however. Might make a lot of sense to have wind farms in the TX panhandle. Might not make much sense in some other parts of the country where the wind doesn't blow much. I think nuclear power should be used to handle the lion's share of our electricity needs, maybe virtually all of it. But some groups seem dead set against nuclear. Why is THIS form of energy, the most obviously useful alternative form of generating electricity never talked about? When the right alternative energy comes along, the energy companies will fall all over themselves to get in on the deal. The reasons they don't do it now is because it's not economical and it's not practical. The main reason they are getting involved to the extent they are now is largely for good PR. Wind farms aren't going to be our salvation. They can HELP, but they aren't the total answer.

[@johnnyrotundo6483]

I believe the new term is Climate Crisis. I went to my kid's graduation ceremony yesterday, and the valedictorian passionately, and desperately pleaded her peers to fight the climate crisis. no wonder kids are more depressed these days and the suicide rate is way up. when you're constantly beating the end of everything into their heads, it will have an adverse effect on them.

Good points - Global warming predictions in the late Seventies, (I remember the books) predicted that we would all be cooked by now. We, obviously, are not. A point of fact - NASA models and observations agree with the other scientists, but they have observed an effect which is helping us not to cook; increasing central Antartica pack ice. They also point out that this could easily turn off, and doesn't contradict rising temperatures, it seems to be caused by global increased temperature through increased precipitation. Perhaps it's not so black and white, catastrophe or nivarna, as we might be tempted to think.

[@michellemeyer8303]

Global warming would create a paradise. Warmer oceans mean more evaporation bringing increases in precipitation and cloud cover. Antarctica is so cold, ice rarely melts there, but it rarely snows, so increased precipitation would increase glaciers(no rising sea levels, maybe the opposite). Vast areas of Canada and Siberia would begin to be productive and inhabitable. Even the tropics are likely to benefit, as cloud cover may actually result in lower air temperatures there.

This is all well and good except for the electric car bit... Seeing as how the lithium in batteries is the dirty mining part and that's the bit that can be pretty easily recycled. Electric car batteries were designed with conservative life estimates and are long outlasting them. The power being generated by coal? Its being replaced by natural gas with 2x the effeciency of coal (60%+ simple cycle, 70%+ for combined cycle gas), while ICE cars are in the 20's % effecient chemical energy to motion. These surface level arguments that are pretty easily proven false are why people think conservatives are backwards, because we have to fight EVERY idea apparently. It's the same as when people say vegans are worse for the planet.

I hear all this talk about the polar ice melting in the north and half of our landmass will be underwater, which is simply not true. But let's pretend the polar ice caps in the north did melt what would happen? Almost all the ice in the North Pole is floating in the water. Archimedes' principle tells us that anything floating in water displaces its own weight in water,. Just like when you put an ice cube in a glass of water, the level will rise because the ice cube has pushed the water level up by displacement. When the ice melts the higher level will remain exactly the same.

I got disillusioned with the Left a long time ago because something wasn't adding up, and I found conservatives and Christians who had good explanations. So prove you are in fact dealing in reality. Secondly, we seculars can be unappreciative of religious language, because we honestly don't understand what you're saying. Try instead an approach more like Jordan Peterson's 12 part Biblical series. Allow us to sort of translate what you're saying into something we resonate with ... both me and my wife LOVE the Cain and Abel story now, and we can see how immensely useful it is to navigate in life. You might find our speed of such half-conversion to be slow, but have faith. We're not entirely impossible to reason with.

I can't remember a time when the zeitgeist has been so powerful and pervasive.

All promised to put us back into pre-industrial sustenance mode. All were fervently backed up by the science of the times. All dominated the zeitgeist of their time. None came true or will come true. Prevailing zeitgeist corrupts science because scientists are human and no one can resist the need to conform to the power of overwhelming social mood.
