Nanaimo BC Temperature Range

I live near Nanaimo BC (data from 1947 at “NANAIMO A”). I was curious what the temperature range for any given day would be.

By temperature range I mean find the warmest it has ever been for a particular day and then subtract the coldest it has ever been.

December 1st , February 4th, November 14th and May 16 have the biggest range = 32.8C.

November 18th has the lowest range = 16.9C. (I find it interesting it has never been colder than -4.4C on November 18 when it has been -16.1C on November 14th.

(Remember this when someone says humans and animals will notice a 1C change in the next 100 years).

Another UK Coal Power Plant Converted To Burn US Wood

This is just insane.

Burning wood pellets releases as much or even more carbon dioxide per unit of energy as burning coal.

 

“One of Britain’s dozen remaining coal-fired power plants is to be converted to burn wood pellets shipped in from North America, after the European Commission approved a £1bn subsidy contract for the project.

RWE’s Lynemouth power station in Northumberland is due to close by the end of this year under environmental rules, but will now be resurrected as a biomass plant following EU state aid approval for the consumer-funded subsidies.

The 420 megawatt plant, which produces enough electricity to power 450,000 homes, could be up and running again within 18 months, subject to a final investment decision early next year, RWE said.

The decision also boosted Drax, the Yorkshire coal plant that is awaiting state aid approval of a similar subsidy contract for the conversion of one of its units to burn biomass.”

Coral Reefs LOVE Acidic Oceans

Is everything the AGW cult told us turned out to be false?

“Acidic water may be a sign of healthy corals, says a new study, muddying the waters still further on our understanding of how coral reefs might react to climate change.

Andreas Andersson of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, California, and his colleagues carefully monitored a coral reef in Bermuda for five years, and found that spikes in acidity were linked to increased reef growth.

“At first we were really puzzled by this,” says Andersson. “It’s completely the opposite to what we would expect in an ocean-acidification scenario.””

Trillions Spent on Climate Change – And Nothing On Detecting Planet Killing Asteroids

Maybe “Nothing” is a slight exaggeration. But they only found it 3 weeks ago.

 

“Asteroid 2015 TB145 was discovered on Oct. 10, 2015

Halfway to Hell – What a Beautiful Summer!

I am having an absolutely beautiful summer. Sunny. Hot. Swimming every day (almost). Bike riding.

The AGW fanatics say were are halfway to hell. 

“The New Scientist magazine has issued a dire warning about global warming: the climate has warmed to the point where it’s now halfway towards what scientists claim is dangerous global warming. “It’s the outcome the world wants to avoid, but we are already halfway there,” according to the New Scientist. “All but one of the main trackers of global surface temperature are now passing more than 1 °C of warming relative to the second half of the 19th century” which is halfway to the 2 degrees Celsius of warming the United Nations constitutes as dangerous warming.”

I say “If this is halfway to hell I’ll take a double helping!”

 

AGW Cult Kills

“Scientists warned British ministers 22 years ago their planned “dash for diesel” could cause a public health disaster, but were ignored because the then government believed climate change was more important”

 

“It said that although diesel produced less of the key greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide), it produced more of the toxic nitrogen dioxide and particulates that damage health.

It added: “The impact of diesel vehicles on urban air quality is a serious one. Any increase in the proportion of diesel vehicles on urban streets is to be viewed with concern unless problems of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides emissions are addressed.”
