Your position seems to be a two-fold speculation: 1. Rapid climate change might have happened naturally in pre-historic times, we just don't know about it; 2. rapid climate change is happening naturally now, but the climatologists fail to explain this mechanism properly, possibly for ideological...

119 serious adverse events occurred among 101 participants (0.5%) in the AZD1222 group and 59 events among 53 participants (0.5%) in the placebo group. There were 20,000 people in the treatment group, and the thrombosis risk was so low it didn't show up. A careful review of all available...

That's still valid. The language in the #10 quotes is "showed no evidence" or "found no increased risk", which technically doesn't say there isn't any, just that it's hard to find: like Bigfoot, we don't know if it's really rare or if it doesn't exist, until we find it. It's still safe to go...

I'm imagining gas heaters at the wells and pipelines now... :) I don't usually think about why someone posits a question for clarification, especially if it seems well-stated and to the point, as yours was. In my previous posts, I've tried to summarize the information I learned from the various...

After the winter of 2011, it was obvious that Texas power infrastructure needed to be winterized, but politics didn't want to mandate it, and gas/power companies didn't want to spend the money. That is the ultimate reason for the 2021 blackout, across all power types. (Utilities not being aware...

I dislike it when "current events" blows up in discussion over an issue that's not even new.

The recommendation I hear is that cross-boosting gives slightly better results (i.e. combining Pfizer primary with Moderna booster, or vice versa), but I don't believe the benefits justify deferring the booster shot.

Are you sure? Because these blood clot issues are still very rare.

I skip over them because they are "do my work for me while I sit back and watch" type questions.

Yes. But "led up to" implies a causal connection. Consider the NG failures that happened before the ERCOT went into EEA3 and started shedding load at 1:23 am on the 15th. These failures happened because gas production equipment, gas supply lines, gas power stations (and I think in rare cases...

They have, though, and your source (NASA Earth observatory) shows it. You're arguing from incredulity here, but "I can't believe that's true" is not a logical argument.

On November 28, 16 people tested positive for COVID-19 in Gibraltar. Five were vaccinated and 11 were unvaccinated. Nine of them were 15 and younger. On November 29, 23 people tested positive for COVID-19 in Gibraltar. Eight were vaccinated; 14 were unvaccinated. Eleven of them were 15 and...

The main cause was gas power going offline due to weather in the night of the 14th/15th. If this had not happened, the blackout would not have been necessary. If wind power had produced to expectations (6-8 GW, depending on how you compute it), the gas power failures would still have triggered a...

No.

Sure, mate. If you ignore all of the gas power plants down for maintenance. Wind power outages did not cause the cascading failure. Wind power generation was 1 GW below average when ERCOT introduced the blackouts to make up for a 20 GW deficit caused mainly by gas power outages.

Timeline: • snow and ice and maintenance cause outages for wind and gas turbines • electrical grid still works • winter storm Uri moves in on the 14th • power demand rises (people need heat) • in the night, scores of gas power plants fail because of the weather (not winterized) • the grid can't...
