Is Anthropogenic (Human-Caused) Global Warming/AGW Falsifiable?

[Dagosa]

that conversation applied only to Iceland, it is accurate as to that island country only. But on that topic. how many windmills; dams, and solar farms would be needed to provide the power needs of the USA?

Then obviously, you agree. Renewables used to produce electric POWER is what matters.
For one thing denier, fossil fuel plant replacement with renewables happens as NEEDED. You don’t trade in a perfectly good car just to get a few more mpg. You go to renewables when demand increases and when fossil fuel plants need replacement and the economics are worth it.

They are. I have never argued for renewables to save the planet. I argue for them because…..they save money.

Which ones have saved money? Where?

Baloney. Government mandates are causing perfectly good fossil fuel plants to be scrapped.

the government of Iceland.

Yes, agrees with me.. like I said.

You’re dreaming.

Prove it.

Power generation is electricity.

Not really:

Introduction to electricity, a brief history of electricity, and a review of electricity's importance to people.

And still dreaming.
Power generation is the act of converting different forms of energy, such as mechanical energy, or electromagnetic energy (sunlight) into electricity.

And still wrong…..power generation is electricity
Geo thermal is PRIMARILY used to heat spaces in Iceland.
It’s not used as much for power generation. Hydro is.
“Power generation is the act of converting different forms of energy, such as mechanical energy, or electromagnetic energy (sunlight) into electricity.”
You are the one who conflated power with energy….
I’ve not changed. Power in Iceland comes mainly from hydro.

Yep, "such as" using a match to heat and convert the contents of your crack pipe into smokable gas. You do share many facts, but then slide into flourishes of opinionating. Emotive canards. Bouts of BS.

Don't worry. Your MO is clear. **** ever admitting to being wrong or even simply confused about anything. No matter how many times you repeat the same damn things I've said as though I were arguing or something. No matter how many times you clumsily shift the goalposts, obviously just to change the subject rather than acknowledge some point. No matter how many times you keep failing to quote "Iceland" disagreeing with me..

I even try to help you by providing the IEA's explanation of what electricity actually "is" and you stubbornly retort:

And still wrong…..power generation is electricity

Really? You honestly disagree with the IEA? If so, I suggest you take it up with them.

But **** it. It's OK. I get it. I had a brother like you. He's dead now and I miss him nonetheless. It truly takes all kinds.

And I know people like you who alter my posts to do what ? Please leave my entire posts intact and just high light phrases instead of omitting parts.

 

[Dagosa]

Yes, agrees with me.. like I said.

Please don’t alter my posts…..use the entire quote instead of your version of paraphrasing.

You are the one shifting the goal posts as you continually conflate energy with power generation. Wood pellets are a renewable as well. They are used to both heat spaces and produce electricity. But, heating a home with wood pellets has nothing to do with producing electricity. Nothing. They are two separate uses.

Ah, there! I smashed the Reply button and voila! Dagosa's entire post appeared like magic! Let's just do all the things Dagosa wants..

To do what?.. Oops.. Darn! I didn't highlight "to do what ?" I just went ahead and typed it! What was I thinking? I can't use the same words or phrases he did to help communicate anything back to him.. What was I thinking? That's crazy!..

I forget now.. Why did I smash that Reply button? Wait though,.. if I literally highlight phrases instead of just quoting the bits I'm specifically addressing, isn't that altering his post?.. Ah shit, I just did it again! OMG, I can't say anything!!

Omitting is not highlighting. Just picking and choosing phases to post is bogus…..you want to highlight it ? I am here to help you……you can bold print anything you want while keeping the surrounding entire post in tact.

 

[Dagosa]

Virtually means, nearly, almost. So, what I said is correct, doofus. almost all ,nearly all, of Iceland's power comes from thermal.

Power is electric generation. No, it does not. Not even close. Most power generation comes from HYDRO power electric generation. .

"Omitting is not highlighting. Just picking and choosing phases to post is bogus"
-- Agreed so far, though I don't omit to highlight anything (whatever that's supposed to mean). Nor do I just pick and choose phases to post.
So.. keep fishing, I guess..

"you want to highlight it ? I am here to help you……you can bold print anything you want while keeping the surrounding entire post in tact."

"it ?" -- Howzat? (*)

And no, I can't highlight or bold anything I want because:

1. That would be stupid.
2. Against the rules!

• Editing quotes. You may selectively quote, provided that it does not change the context or meaning of the quote. When you comment on the quote, do it outside of the quote box. Do not post inside of the quote box or alter the member names in "link-back" text.

See, selectively quoting is rational, well, and good. Everyone sane does it. But if I just go ahead and highlight, italicize, underline, bold, change the font, and / or the font size of "anything" within your average, everyday smashed Reply quote box.. Hwell, guess what?

I've just misquoted you! Because it appears for all the world like you did it,.. not me.

I strongly suggest you quit doing that sort of thing, if indeed you regularly do, and catch up with the real world.

But while we're at it, I often notice things like folks annoyingly smashing the Reply button when theirs is the very first response?.. What the hell is that? Like the author might not realize they're responding to their OP otherwise? WTF?

Wrong again, sparky. Are you even talking about Iceland? How would anyone know? Did you deliberately omit any mention of that essential context? Seems mighty picky and choosy to me..

Google power generation. It’s always electricity bubba
You’re just babbling now.

From wikipedia

Production and Consumption​

Iceland's electricity is produced almost entirely from renewable energy sources: hydroelectric (70%) and geothermal (30%).[4]Less than 0.02% of electricity generated came from fossil fuels (in this case, fuel oil).[4] In 2013 a pilot wind power project was installed by Landsvirkjun, consisting of two 77m high turbines with an output of 1.8MW.[5]

No, selectively quoting is out of context…..it’s what the stupid ass 2@ bozos do when they continually quote “shall not be infringed……” without providing the entire 2@ in its entirety and in context which is to provide “peoples” not persons rights to establish an armed militia. You’re still conflating energy and power….no wonder your brother had a tough time with you.
