Yes I know. My point is just that we need to diversify. And most of Germany is still heated up during winter with oil, coal and gas, so no amount of electricity generation will change that until we upgrade heating systems.

We need a thousand solutions to fight climate change, so I always try to remind people that there’s no silver bullet. Solar, wind, nuclear, none of them will save the day by itself.

I honestly don’t enough about this topic to understand if your telling the truth or not. My instinct says that it’s not that simple.

This is really nice but Germany can’t sustain itself with just solar during most of the year without storage capacity.

There are new reactors that have nothing to do with weapons manufactoring.

I totally agree with you my friend. But when showing information in the way of this video, you open yourself to attacks, because you’re mixing weather with climate, and sometimes hot days happen in winter. This sort of bad science communication without the necessary context can do more harm than good IMO.

N=2 is not a good sample size. This level is variation year after year is not exactly abnormal. Weather isn’t climate.

Climate change is real, but this post is bad science.

Without personal responsibility nothing will change. If you’re not willing to reduce your flying, your meat consumption and your unnecessary consumption in general, nothing will change. We need high level industrial changes, as much as we need personal changes.

Most agriculture uses light from a green source: the sun… Although I suppose that’s a scarce resource in Iceland through half of the year.

Not defending Turnip, but at this point the Paris Agreement is almost pointless as we surpass the 1.5ºC. Governments around the world did very little over the last 10 years to prevent the current state of affairs.

That’s some Willy Fog lecel of perseverance though. In fact, Willy Fog had better options before air travel became a thing.

Huge respect for the man but

His research trip in 2023 meant taking 40 days to travel from Europe to Bougainville and 72 days to return. According to his calculations, carbon emissions from this slow 28,000-kilometer (17,400-mile) round trip was 10 times lower than flying.

Taking 50x the travel time to safe 10x in emissions… I don’t think I have it in me. I accept to replace a 45 minutes flight with 7-10 hours of train (and do it often) but that’s about the limit of my sanity.

At that distance it also kills you, so it sounds like a good deal. No regrets.

Texting costs extra, specially internationally? Also it has a limited feature set and poor intercompatibility.
