    152,786,023 individual temperature records taken hourly since 1st Jan 2011 from NOAA's NWS service. You know in Al Gore's the "Inconvenient Truth" that frog sitting in that warming pan of water who doesn't realise the water is getting hotter and hotter until it's too late to jump out... Well that water isn't ... El Nino's come and go but the heat isn't being locked up down here by a trace gas making up 0.04% of our atmosphere, of that I am now sure. See above Dave  |

Germany’s Wind Energy Mess: As Subsidies Expire, Thousands Of Turbines To Shut Down…Environmental Nightmare!
----------------------------------------By P Gosselin on 24. April 2018 As older turbines see subsidies expire, thousands are expected to be taken offline due to lack of profitability. Green nightmare: Wind park operators eye shipping thousands of tons of wind turbine litter to third world countries – and leaving their concrete rubbish in the ground. The Swiss national daily Baseler Zeitung here recently reported how Germany’s wind industry is facing a potential “abandonment”. Approvals tougher to get This is yet another blow to Germany’s Energiewende (transition to green energies). A few days ago I reported here how the German solar industry had seen a monumental jobs-bloodbath and investments had been slashed to a tiny fraction of what they once had been. Over the years Germany has made approvals for new wind parks more difficult as the country reels from an unstable power grid and growing protests against the blighted landscapes and health hazards. Now that the wind energy boom has ended, the Baseler Zeitung reports that “the shutdown of numerous wind turbines could soon lead to a drop in production” after having seen years of ruddy growth. Subsidies for old turbines run out http://notrickszone.com/2018/04/24/germanys-w...-environmental-nightmare/ |

There are fools north of Germany as well, GeraldRube - giant fools  Good to see you here, GeraldRube. We miss you two ...  Quoted from the latest issue of 'The Daily Danish ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Giant wind turbines They will big. As tall as the pylons of the Great Belt Bridge that connects Denmark’s two biggest islands, Zealand and Funen. 250 m/820 feet. And they will produce energy for the electricity consumption of two million Danes ~ 1/3 of the population. And they will be installed off shore. 50 km/31 miles from any coast There will be between 50 and 75 of them. They will be constructed 2024-2027. It will probably be the largest wind park in the world. Not bad for a little land  - we need to satisfy Google, Apple, and Facebook, too  |

Our weather in May has been the best ever in Denmark
- not only for me subjectively, but certainly objectively, too: May in Denmark made two notable records tangible for us hungry for sun and some warmth  The first one is for average monthly temperature which is the highest recorded since recordings began in 1874, and it was a notable one – no less than 1.2 degrees Celcius over the old record from 1889.  The second one is for sun. 363 hours out of 506 astronomically possible ones 16 hours more than the previous record from 2008. We have counted our sunny hours since 1920. |
