RE: A cold reality: we are not ready for the upcoming ice age
Dear @samstonehill,
i just copied my response to the comments you made on @samve s post here.. as I do not know if you read the other response...
I would recommend to read through the following web pages:
https://skepticalscience.com/
https://climate.nasa.gov/vital-signs/global-temperature/
This should correct all of the above stated.
In regards to sun spots: This will just be a much much smaller effect than overall global warming...
but you will find it all very properly explained on those web pages...
in regards to @bloom .. I understand your feelings.. however you have to see that people as him and me who for decades try to bring global warming science to the public just feel tired of hearing the same wrong claims by non scientists (the sources you are referring to are either not written by climate scientists or long outdated )over and over again..
also I have to give you credit that you made a very nice post...
maybe you find the links useful and let them impact your knowledge base a bit.. as you seem to be a caring and engaged person...
You have however a point in aiming for an independent living style...
the first thing you could do: Install a solar PV array.. and get independent from you dirty power supplier...
Hey there!
There are no hard feelings with @bloom ;)
On the contrary I am grateful to him for leading me to @samve
The comments under this post were very one sided and I enjoy more hearing from both sides. So, I appreciate seeing your words here too :)
As I mentioned to @samve somewhere in the mass of comments above, I spent my childhood learning to not trust government institutions and am consequently very suspicious of most information. Especially information which ultimately translates to a huge amount of tax income for governments around the world.
I will however take a look at those links you mentioned and approach them with an open mind.
It seems to me that no matter if we believe the earth to be warming or cooling, by sharing either message we are showing ourselves to be caring people who ultimately just want to live in a better world. The tricky part is getting to the truth... and knowing with certainty that what we have found is the truth!
I like your username by the way. I have been a 'solar warrior' for over five years now, always travelling with a few panels wherever I go. The permanent array will be acquired once I buy some land.
would love to see a picture of your mobile (makeshift?) solar equipment
I'll do you one better. Here is a film I made for the company who produces one of the kits I bought.
I also have a much older Voltaic system:
When I walked the Camino de Santiago in 2013 I needed to power my laptop and a bunch of other photographic kit.
These two solar kits have served me very well indeed, though I am looking forward to taking it to the next level!
nice video and nice products...
really like those solar gadgets!
THX for sharing
While I am thinking about it, you may enjoy one of my most popular films on YouTube:
I have just accepted a job to film another huge solar construction in Hull, UK. This one I'm planning on shooting with drones alone. Should be fun!
