New Cold Climate to Devastate Global Agriculture within Ten Years
Thursday, April 30, 2015 Press Release 2-2015 9:00 AM EDT
The Space and Science Research Corporation (SSRC) announces today that the predicted new cold climate will soon begin to end the historic era of growth in US and global agricultural output that began after the end of World War II.
Specifically, as a result of recent events on the Sun and changes in the Earth’s climate, the SSRC again warns that record crop yields and volume in the US and Canadian corn, wheat, and soybean belts are about to end. The SSRC expects the first substantial damage could be observed at any time but certainly within the next ten years.
This new announcement is based on a well researched set of new climate trends of oceanic and atmospheric temperatures, and solar activity.
It is entirely possible that the decades-long period of record global agricultural output that our world has enjoyed will soon be over, perhaps for many decades.
This ominous prediction is accentuated by the fact that governments worldwide and their agricultural corporations, systems, and farmers, are preparing for more global warming and doing nothing to adapt to the ongoing transition to a new potentially dangerous cold climate.

Minigland's pursuit of zero carbon energy supply to conservatively cost the UK 200bn.

A Labour spokesman said, get this, that "Investing in clean energy will lead to lower bills than the alternative high-carbon scenario".

Unfortunately, due to the political hysteria and knee jerk witch-hunting engendered whenever the words 'climate, change and carbon' are mentioned, this country is unable to have a grown up and sensible discussion on the matter.
I fear that whoever gets into office on Thursday, the die is cast and we are stuffed as a nation, power generation wise.

look on the bright side , the germans are building a stack of new coal fired stations, we can buy electricity from them.I fear that whoever gets into office on Thursday, the die is cast and we are stuffed as a nation, power generation wise.

Labour's energy policy is dogs
t but there are some rubbish assumptions made by the Telegraph; series production of nuclear power stations(or indeed any engineering product) as outlined produces significant cost savings.

We better build more interconnects, as the SNP have the same 'magic energy tree' policy, which will result in no baseload generation in Scotland beyond 2023; they expect windmills plus energy storage that doesn't exist(and no prospect of it existing any time soon) to fill the gap. It's nuts, but it's policy.hidetheelephants said:

Fear not! Elon Musk and his Tesla home storage batteries will save the day. Or not as is more likely.rovermorris999 said:

It's hilarious, but politicians think it's ace. Then, if/when it gets cold...
Tesla has never turned a profit or made anything that reaches a sensible cost/performance compromise. You have to wonder how the company continues to exist (I know the answer)!Apparently the life of these 'wall' batteries is about 9 years (if used optimally presumably) and then you have to charge them, so to be self sufficient you need windmills/panels at £thousands which will also need to be replaced in a decade or so, then you need £30K? of insulation so that you can eek out what power you store. Even using off-peak to charge doesn't make it economically viable?
So even at a very conservative guess, using a 'wall' your electricity will cost 2 - 4 times current prices.
And the BBC has been lauding this like some marvelous 'free' energy revolution.
The BBC has also been doing some factual accuracy/balance omitting reporting on an Arctic Ice research boat and current/future Arctic ice the last 2 days. Typical.

If these 'wall batteries' need charging by other means of power, then what is the point?

Ah, so it's not a self sufficient/self contained power unit?

The idea is that you use cheap rate electricity to charge them and then run off battery during peak, or 'preferably' your intermittent 'green' source like PV panels on the roof charges them so you can use it when you want.If these 'wall batteries' need charging by other means of power, then what is the point?
It's just another massively expensive diversionary fail which will throw up all sorts of practicality issues, I suspect.
You probably wouldn't want the pack indoors anywhere, or near anything flammable either.

It's box of lithium ion batteries and you use 'free' sunshine and wind or cheap rate overnight mains power (which means the grid and generating capacity will still need to be maintained). Please keep up or you'll be left behind in the brave new world. Don't worry, the greens and the politicos say it'll all be fine.If these 'wall batteries' need charging by other means of power, then what is the point?
