How did "The most powerful hurricane ever recorded in the Western hemisphere." get on in the lead up to Paris?
----------------------------------------"damages have been minor to those corresponding to a hurricane of this magnitude." Mmmmm Even the weather station stopped recording http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/MMPR.html |

Mmmmm Even the weather station stopped recording http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/current/MMPR.html I've been watching a qualifications of F1 in Austin, Texas...it's been pouring rain there, no qualification were done on Sat...maybe a qualification & race will be held tomorrow?!  |

probably VW will also be mentioned...even though a traffic is about 5% responsible for CO2 emissions...

The October result is in and the average temperature from 2438 NOAA Weather Stations around the Globe was 14.040C
---------------------------------------- The average temperature November 2014 through to the end of October 2015 was 12.816 C, a decrease of 0.024C over the yearly average to the end of September. Taking us back to a yearly average temperature not seen since March 2013  Here's another forum friendly sized graph that updates now every 4 hours due to the sheer number of points it now needs to plot  The graphs above are (at this moment in time) the result of 104,720,457 individual temperature measurements taken around the Globe from (the same set of) NOAA Weather Stations since the beginning of 2011  On average every 1.5 seconds another temperature reading is added to the database .... The lights will go out in the UK soon. One more month until all of our Governments collude in Paris for COP21 - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_United_Nations_Climate_Change_Conference Make it a great Month Dave [Edit 1 times, last edit by David Autumns at Nov 1, 2015 8:51:31 PM] |

Not sure how much longer we will be able to keep crunching in the UK http://www.manxradio.com/news/uk-business/pow...red-as-grid-faces-strain/ don't know how big is your "grid", so maybe you should think about getting UPS...one which can be programmable, so that it can get you 3-5h coverage of computer & charge only at night time! |

Hi KLiK
----------------------------------------I wouldn't have to if the task of the energy companies was to deliver a reliable and lowest cost electrical supply Sadly this is now just a distant memory of what was the CEGB https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Electricity_Generating_Board |

The lights will go off due entirely to the"Climate Change" Hype it's legislation, carbon levy's and short term profit taking combined with a rigged market that doesn't encourage investment in infrastructure.
----------------------------------------Instead of it being a vital National resource. We're building HS2 at the cost of billions to get from Birmingham to London in just 1 hours This train will be going nowhere without the above. See first post |
