DiegoDiego Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 LARGE swathes of Scotland could be submerged underwater in less than 30 years, according to a climate change study. Glasgow Airport, the Old Course at St Andrews and the Kelpies in Falkirk are among the key sites that could be flooded, if research by Climate Central is correct. And I could shag Yvonne Strahovski. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sea level rise is about 3.3mm a year. You can see the results from the JASON satellites that measure it globally. https://sealevel.colorado.edu/ It is accelerating but not at the kind of pace where you would notice it in most places. IPCC (AR5) estimates about 1m by 2100 at most. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Fusion is decades away. It will play no role in the low carbon transition currently underway. With current grid scale prices of around $30 kWh for solar and around the same for onshore wind, these will be the mainstay with fission nuclear and hydroelectric. The main costs being their intermittency requiring energy storage. In places with good solar this is only needed for the over night, though with wind and less regular insolation you will need longer and less often used storage so in those locations achieving deep penetration of renewables without gas back up will be more expensive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The organisation is made up of leading scientists and journalists who research climate change and its impact on the public. It has created an interactive map, using current projections to show which areas of the country could be lost to rising sea levels by 2050 Excellent, our house will become a beach property just as the climate gets appropriate for it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 What is the benefit to Amazon of chucking this stuff away? Surely that’s a fairly major cost if you’re binning 130,000 items a week in one warehouse including expensive tech etc, so what are they gaining from it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retailers rent warehouse space from Amazon for the products they sell through Amazon. Eventually the rental costs and lack of demand make it uneconomic to store the products. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Quote By 2050 there is a 50% chance that every year Glasgow will experience summers as hot as the record reached in June 2018, when the city baked in temperatures of nearly 32C, buckling rail lines and melting material in the roof of the Glasgow Science Centre. Average rainfall in summers will fall by about 5% under the conservative scenario, but the area will experience flash floods. Winter rainfall will increase by at least 5%, with a far greater rate of intense storms. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jun/29/billions-needed-to-protect-glasgow-from-climate-effects-report-says The shrieking pointyheads really should try a different scare story, because replacing Glasgow's current climate with something close to Porto's sounds fucking tremendous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
