Win a heart contest: Comment on These Equations to Explain Why Musk's Car and His Powerwalls Were Never "Green."

[NNadir]

6. Here's something that might help explain what bullshit might actually be. They're called "numbers."

I report them regularly, this morning in fact:

January 2025: The Worst January Year to Year Increase Ever in CO2 Concentrations Recorded, 2025 over 2024.

Here's the data for January 2025 average over January 2024's average:


January 2025: 426.65 ppm
January 2024: 422.80 ppm
Last updated: Feb 07, 2025


Monthly Average Mauna Loa CO2

The increase in these averages is 3.85 ppm.

This is the worst such increase for any January average going back over the last 65 years of records.

It is the 5th highest such increase for any month's average of any year as compared to the previous year's average.

In 2024, similar records were set for the following months, with such increases available for 768 such comparators:

February 2024's average as compared to February 2023 was 4.25 ppm, It is the 2nd highest out of 768 such increase for any month's average of any year as compared to the previous year's average.

March 2024's average as compared to March 2023 was 4.38 ppm, it is the single highest out of 768 such increase for any month's average of any year as compared to the previous year's average.

July 2024's average as compared to July 2023 was 3.41 ppm, it is the 16th highest such increase out of 768 for any month's average of any year as compared to the previous year's average.

The aforementioned November 2024's average as compared to November 2023 was 3.39 ppm, it is the 21st highest out of 768 such increase for any month's average of any year as compared to the previous year's average.

December 2024's average as compared to December 2023 was 3.54 ppm, it is the 13th highest such increase out of 768 for any month's average of any year as compared to the previous year's average.

The money squandered on energy storage can be found here:



IEA overview, Energy Investments.

The site includes this graphic to discuss the money squandered - with contempt for the laws of thermodynamics obviated - on energy storage:



If one pokes around in the data on these pages, one can learn that since 2015, the world has squandered 3.556 trillion on energy storage with the result that the accumulation of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide is accelerating with a positive first, second and even a third derivative.

...and I have to listen to this crap!

I started this thread with the intent to discuss a mathematical point about physical laws relevant to the collapse of the planetary atmosphere. I didn't start it to listen to piddling distractions from reality.

Of course, I cannot control what responses involving excuses and prevarications, but I will say this: While I cannot control responses here, I really don't appreciate the littering of the thread with excuses for the inexcusable, particularly when it expresses contempt for numbers that don't require any sophistication whatsoever to understand and grasp.

The fucking planet is on fire, and one reason is denial represented by tortured excuses and silly attentions to trivialities, nitpicking nonsensical bullshit.

And trust me, as shown, I am equipped to demonstrate what bullshit is.

Have a swell week and try not to breath in too many combustion gases while the planet burns.
