All Solar, Et Al, In 12 Years?

Just pray you're the deaf child when the piped piper comes to town.

San Diegans Protest Changes in Solar Incentives

What happens when the government takes away the incentive treat for solar? Rally the idiots and fools to protest.

New term: Treat Riot

Where's my treat?

The Energy Tax Act (ETA) of 1978 (Public Law 9-618) was passed by Congress in response to the energy crises of the 1970's - the Arab Oil Embargo and the taking of U.S. hostages in Iran. The act encouraged homeowners to invest in energy conservation and solar and wind technologies through tax credits. A federal energy tax credit of up to $2,000 was given for devices installed on people's homes on or after April 20, 1977 and before January 1, 1986. Solar space and water heating carried a 40% tax credit, while weatherization, insulation, and similar conservation activities carried a 15% tax credit. However, the incentives were phased-out in the mid-80's as a result of Reagan administration policies to leave energy conservation and renewable energy decisions up to market conditions.

One-third of Man’s entire influence on climate since the Industrial Revolution has occurred since February 1997. Yet for 224 months since then there has been no global warming at all (Fig. 1). With this month’s RSS temperature record, the Pause equals last month’s record at 18 years 8 months.



Figure 1. The least-squares linear-regression trend on the RSS satellite monthly global mean surface temperature anomaly dataset shows no global warming for 18 years 8 months since February 1997, though one-third of all anthropogenic forcings have occurred during the period of the Pause.

We are now entering the northern-hemisphere autumn. That is traditionally the time when an el Niño begins to make itself felt. It is becoming ever more likely that the temperature increase that usually accompanies an el Niño will begin to shorten the Pause somewhat, though a subsequent La Niña would be likely to bring about a resumption and perhaps even a lengthening of the Pause.

You must love it Pete. You certainly are not the brightest bulb in the light store.

Pete's understanding of climate data

 

[Pittsburgh Pete]

And you Randy haven't yet found the light store. You can probably find directions at the RW headquarters that apparently influences all of your thinking (it is probably a bit kind to even characterize it as thinking---more like rote repetition of talking points handed down from the Koch brothers)!

 

[Randolph Kinney]

Nice come back Pete. You almost convinced me that CO2 drives global warming, which in turn, drives climate change.

Pete,

What does your "research" say?
