"Green" policies are destroying this country

Please attempt to make some kind of at least a half coherent point.

Why do you believe anyone using a nuclear plant as a primary source of energy would switch it on and off randomly, and what gave you the idea i said they would ?

I started a thread on this a few years ago.

It’s false advertising of the highest order.

Oh ffs. We do NOT need a "bump". We require a safe, secure and reliable source of natural gas to make up for the lack of reliability of renewable energy generation for the foreseable futute.

Have you seen whats going on in Europe atm? Do you really wish Ireland to be doubly screwed by being the last country looking down an increasingly expensive and bare pipeline after the rest of Europe have been supplied and we have no natural gas resources, all because our own homegrown gshites have decided neither natural gas exploration nor LNG terminals are permitted?

Either you simply do not understand the basic issue here or there is something else wrong. How many people will it take to explain before you can grasp the basics?

Renewable electricity is sold on the wholesale energy market to the highest bidder.

The World Bank commissioned a scientific report into climate change at 4c and the conclusions were pretty devastating

"Turn down the heat ~ Why a 4°C warmer world must be avoided." A Report for the World Bank by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Climate Analytics"

This report was commissioned 10 years ago, the evidence has only grown stronger and stronger since then that were heading for 4c warming in the 2nd half of this century

Equilibrium climate sensitivity is 3-4c. The IPCC has just said said we have a rapidly closing window to make the changes we need to preserve a planet that is habitable to all. They're talking about keeping warming as far as possible below 2c. We're extremely unlikely to plateau below 2c, and certainly won't if the 'realists' on this thread have their say. The IPCC haven't even begun to properly talk about what will happen in a 4c warmer world.

The world Bank commissioned the Report from a highly respected research institute and their study formed part of the IPCC literature

Read the latest IPCC report instead of Forbes articles. The are now saying out loud that if we don't act immediately large parts of the world will become uninhabitable. And that's if we don't keep below 2c. Getting past 3 to 4c introduces enormous risks. Totally unprecedented extreme events converging on each other to amplify the damage in ways we have never seen before

Read the last report if you don't believe me.

We need to cut global carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. If we had started in 2010. We'd have 20 years to get this done. Instead we have 8.

Of course we'll fail, we'll overshoot 2c of warming. And be faced with having to make even more drastic emissions cuts while our economies are being hit by more extreme weather events.

Given the complete lack of political will to lead the change, we are left with market forces driving people away from fossil fuels. What a surprise it is that the oil industry propaganda machine is ramping up massively to blame renewables for the high cost of oil and gas to influence governments to once again step in and subsidise their products so they can eek every last trillion in profits from their reserves while they can

Again the "World Bank"!

And yet the latest IPCC which I've read makes no reference to end of the world or civilisation type scenarios you're blathering on about.

Now that's a bit strange do you not think?

Ok.

People still aren’t getting 100% green electricity to their houses though.

Unless of course they are off grid.

If you can't be bothered to read the latest report just read the press release from 2 weeks ago.

“The scientific evidence is unequivocal: climate change is a threat to human wellbeing and the health of the planet. Any further delay in concerted global action will miss a brief and rapidly closing window to secure a liveable future,” said Hans-Otto Pörtner.

Oh but I have and nowhere and I repeat nowhere do the IPCC make claims about the "extinction of the human race" or even "people (will) starve to death or die of heat stress".

Maybe best stop making shite up.
