Politics Climate Hysteria Debunked Yet Again ....

Local farmers are having a record season of grass growth. That won't get reported.
 
Been raining a lot here in southwest Idaho, with a snow day now on Monday. Over a foot of snow at 6000 feet!

So that's where all the rain went. On the other side of the spectrum, large parts of Germany are suffering from the third year or so of drought. While I'm writing this, there's a dude with a tanker truck watering the plants in the park across the street. I would have expected this as an emergency solution in July or August like in the last two years when there were fire engines literally dumping water onto fully grown trees, but it's May and it's not like those little shrubs over there weren't just put in and would need some extra water anyway.
 
Aussies been getting the big wet aswell. Its usually extreme.

To be fair, we are in a long term drought here too. This year, farmers in our valley system will only get one third of their normal allotment of irrigation water, which is traditionally delivered from the mountains via canals. Our snowpack has been very low for years now. Farmers rely exclusively on irrigation water from snowpack and a fair bit of deep well pumping for larger farms. RAIN is only useful early in the season when winter grains and hayfields are already growing. Rain is actually NOT desired most of the growing season if it is warm (fungal disease in susceptible crops) or during any of the harvest periods.

Any significant amount of rain here any time other than winter or spring is noteworthy/newsworthy. :)
 
Taxcindy has unveiled some of her carbon plan. Interesting they are going to actually pay the farmers to research and use various methane mitigating supplements.
Which is actually a good idea. Extra work though, delivering magic pills takes work.
The agri business companies will do their best to exaggerate their products results. eg the box that quotes 80% reduction..that was their optimal result. Its happening already and the tax money hasn't even begun to flow.
 
As we expected, the steers released a lot more hydrogen – up to 750% more, mostly from their mouths – as their systems produced less methane. Hydrogen has minimal impact on the environment. Seaweed supplements did not affect the animals’ carbon dioxide emissions.

From a seaweed trial on beef animals.
Not sure one would want to be in a barn with a herd of these hydrogen breathing beeves.

Farmers and ranchers could also earn money for reducing their cattle’s emissions. Climate scientists would have to provide guidance on quantifying, monitoring and verifying methane emission reductions from cattle. Such rules could allow cattle farmers to earn credits from carbon offset programs around the world.

he inventory published last year showed that in 2018, New Zealand's gross emissions were 1 percent lower than 2017. That year, gross emissions were 78.9 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent, and comprised of 44 percent carbon dioxide, 43 percent methane, 10 percent nitrous oxide and 2 percent fluorinated gases.

Some 32 million tonne CO2 equivalent. A 50% reduction would gain farmers @$40 per tonne some $600 million.
One of these magic pills has a 80% reduction on the box.

Unlike magic air that's taxes from you and me or via the magical green money printer and we paid to create the technology to do that.

It seems that this comment is right on spot though:
I spent 12 years in Spain and it has serious levels of sunshine. Yet, the government pulled benefits for solar and imposed heavy taxes to kill it off. The reason later became clear - When I worked at Naturgy, there was an order given not to discuss alternative energy stuff with the clients. In Spain, most homes are apartments and everywhere has gas for heating and water. I never once saw an electric shower. When a Spanish friend came to my home in Ireland, they had never before seen such a thing. Exactly as the Spanish government want. They are in bed with the gas companies.

Buy water from Ruskia - you could use the gas pipeline :rolleyes:
 
Meh. We have been hearing about Soylent green doom and gloom for decades.

Yep, it rains too much, then it’s the drought for too long. Then farmers complain, farmers gets compensation from the govt.

I’ve been hearing about this for over twenty years nearly every summer beside the last one which was rather cool and wet. The solar system seems to still be working. I still have corn and wheat if needed and the strawberry harvest has been astonishing this year to the point they were on discount.

One of the things that hit me when I visited California for the first time, two decades ago, apart from the fact that it is a a beautiful state, is that: summers can be very hot.
Summers there, are hot, there are droughts, people are incentivized about their consumption of water (low flow taps, low flow toilets, low flow showers, signs about taking short showers, etc...). In other words, people are being told to be mindful about their consumption of water.

And yet... lots of golf courses. Lush, green and vast golf courses. Sprinkled and watered on a daily basis.

Aussies are being told to make sacrifices and to not use superfluous electricity during winter as they switch off their coal power stations.
Mean while over in India they are opening new coal mines and coal powered power stations for their air conditioners.
