How early would you go to the beach?
Robecology comments on Jan 11, 2020:
Love sandy beaches. Interesting trivia fact. Fine, sandy beaches takes thousands of years of ** stable and/or slowly receding* *shoreline to develop.
With our new rapid world-wide sea level **rise** (presently 1/8 of an inch per year) we can kiss most sandy beaches good bye in a couple decades!...
Robecology replies on Jan 15, 2020:
@flower_nut I'm sorry to have possibly offended you; but it's simple science - and we don't have to "accept our fate" we can fix it. People like you keep investing in fossil fuels with their eyes on profits and their concerns about the near future almost non-existent....
The way you put it sounded - to. me - rather nonchalant.
I'm far more conscientious about global warming/climate change. You're obvious not; and it saddens and angers me.
I've made it clear that as seas warm and rise, beach formation stops.
I've made it clear that we have cooling trends; then seas recede, and beaches form.
It's simple science. And it is cyclical...and if we can get our renewable energy and family planning act together then we - or our children's children - will see seas recede...and beaches forming once more.
You either put that off as "oh well" or you ignore what I've posted.
I've studied the science of it. I have seen evidence all over that beaches ARE disappearlng...and we CAN do things about it.
You have an "oh well - humans will be gone - then earth will recover" attitude that's sad and not thinking about future generations...and it more than saddens me...it angers me that people can just make such absurd comments as you have.

I'm confident that we as a society - even the collective "we" as a world - are over a hump. Wind energy is growing fast. Tesla stock is rising quickly - and they already opened a Gigafactory In China, and they're working on one in Germany. I don't see subsidies and taxes as a solution; I see human trends.
Humans are getting smarter, E.V.;s are growing...Wind power is growing, Solar is growing, and environmental awareness is growing. The fossil fuel consortium is trending downward. I'm an optimist.

Robecology replies on Jan 12, 2020:
@flower_nut Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'm in my 70's and will be lucky to see 2-3 decades of sea level rise -right where I live, here, on the beach, in Ft. Pierce, Florida.
So...if it continues as forecast....I could see nearly 3 feet of my beach disappear by the time I'm 100...and 3 feet high translates to nearly 50 feet inland.
The point of the article is that beaches form only if seas are slowly receding - or at least stable in level.
I don't think that's happening anywhere in the world right now.
Beach "nourishment" is a "thing" here in Florida; up and down the coast municipalities are paying big $$ to suck sand from off shore and pump it back on the beach.
Of course; we know we're fighting a losing battle with the 1/8 inch per year rise....which actually is a modest estimate...it might go higher.
Florida is forecast to go sooner than most well populated areas.

Donations can be made to several organizations working toward victim relief and recovery, including the Australian Red Cross, Salvation Army Australia, the NSW Rural Fire Service, and the St. Vincent de Paul Society Australia.
You can also help the devastated animal population by giving to wildlife rescue and treatment groups like WIRES, the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital, and Currumbin Wildlife Hospital.

"The largest source of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities in the United States is from burning fossil fuels for electricity, heat, and transportation."
https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions
But I still see the industry changing simply because powering homes, business, including agri-business will soon be easier, cheaper and wiser using wind, hydro (running water) and solar (both P.V. and direct solar (greenhouses, hot water heaters) instead of mining, shipping, and burning fuels.
Again; I give it 10 years to see a significant change; but I honestly doubt the Carbon tax will ever work.
Don't get me wrong; I'm for doing something. I constantly post about the FF subsidies being larger than Alt/energy subsidies, the absurdly low fuel taxes in Russia and the U.S. etc. But I don't see anyone "buying in" to the carbon tax....and even if they do they are, as I said, "paying for prolonging their sins".
Even my hero, Elon Musk, has supported the Carbon tax - a few years ago. His view has since changed.

@AnonySchmoose We're a long way away from implementing a Carbon tax; and that still gives polluters a way to "pay for their sins"...
I say let's find a better way.
Alternative energy is growing rapidly. EV's are growing rapidly. Soon gas will be prohibitively cheap....it won't profit the oil companies to mine it.
How soon?
The portable phone revolution took 10-15 years. The computer revolution too 10-15 years. I give EV's and wind-generators another 5-10 years before they really become dominant in our society.
Then we just won't need a carbon tax.

Robecology comments on Dec 22, 2019:
I concur with @bingst. I, too, don't see this as a significant influence.
The key, IMO...will be the availability of E.V.'s... Electric Vehicles....that are cheaper, faster, simpler to fix, faster to charge, longer range than the typical I.C.E. (internal combustion engine) car.

Climate change anyone... My peach trees seem to think it is spring 😢
JackPedigo comments on Dec 22, 2019:
This is a common occurrence with fruit trees. Even here a warmish winter brings on early buds. A late frost threatens the harvest so in some places and commercial orchards have special heaters to keep the trees from freezing.
Robecology replies on Dec 23, 2019:
@Heidi68 How many trees do you have? I see you live in N.C.; So It all depends on how many trees you have, and how important it is for you to have fruit in the spring.
My recommendation; on one of those forecast bitter cold nights - if you want to have peaches in the spring....you might want to invest in a poor person to "keep a few fires lit" through the night.

Robecology replies on Dec 22, 2019:
A third scenario;
McConnell...having talked with all the potential "witnesses" and making sure they don't say anything "critical" to the defense of Trump....gives in and lets these characters testify.
The strongly biased "witnesses" and the strongly biased "senate" will - IMO - acquit Trump - although this might be drawn out well past the primaries and even the democratic convention.
Trump still has a strong chance of winning in 2020. The key will be the determination of the American voter.
