As will the folks in the SouthEast after the next few killer hurricanes wipe out their version of a comfortable life.
I understand the outages started when a natural gas plant went off line last Friday. Maybe it is the FF that is unreliable?Oilpan4 said:How about all that climate saving alternative energy in California, looks like it's working out well for them. I wonder how long the power has to be turned off for all climate change support to drop to 0. I guess we'll find out. I bet its only a few hours.
Is that weighted for strength? Certainly it gets more attention now as the cost is higher due to exponential increase in improvements getting destroyed.Oilpan4 said:Ok so if Atlantic hurricanes are proof of climate change getting worse then why have about 2/3 of major hurricanes hit in the 45 years between 1885 and 1930 and about 1/3 made land fall between 1930 and now, which is 70 years?
If it was getting worse it should be the other way around. Right?
Just to warn you this is a trap, I have asked this question all over the Internet for the last 8 years, gotten a lot of stupid answers and you have about 0 chance of giving an original answer.
Not a Sith Troll?Oilpan4 said:A Russian troll with standards.
Get it right.

Major Hurricane:
A hurricane that is classified as Category 3 or higher.

OK that and the CAISO called for load reduction with about 9% reserve when the expected standard is closer to 3.5%. Poor management?
Then Newsom is outspoken about these issues and the reluctance to serve the customer even with increased costs. The next day but some miracle the CAISO website is showing and extra 4,000 MW of supply reflecting the change to service over profit.
The sooner we can oust the old cronies of FF the better is my opinion. Yes CA has a long way to go but I believe we are on the right path.

And I should also question the interval.
Why 1885 to 1930 compared with 1931 to 2020? Is there something special about those years?
Is that a cherry I see being picked?
WetEV said:And I should question the threshold. Why cat 3 and above? A cherry of a choice, eh?
Cat 5 hurricanes landfalling in the USA are a total of 4. None before 1935, the half way point in the record.
1935, 1969, 1992, 2018
Want to include oranges? Picking cherries is just intended to waste everyone's time. More data points, if you include bananas. Pointless useless data points, as are cat 2 hurricanes for this discussion.Oilpan4 said:WetEV said:And I should question the threshold. Why cat 3 and above? A cherry of a choice, eh?

Basic day 1 statistics tells us we can't draw conclusions from 4 data points.
You want to include cat 2?
It's more data points which, which way do you think will tip the scales?
Suppose we burn all of the available fossil fuels. Any guess how hot the climate would get?Oilpan4 said:Here's something that's fresh.

Kind of makes worrying about a 1.5C increase seem pretty stupid.
No, no cat 5 hurricanes is likely the case for 1851 to 1934. Likely, not proven. Missing data, poor coverage, etc.Oilpan4 said:Then to say there were no cat 5 hurricanes landfalling falling before 1930s ridiculous.
Some places naturally burn every 10 or so years. Look for grasslands and low shrubs, and an arid climate. Eastern Washington. East of LA.Oilpan4 said:How can climate change be blamed for the California fires when the California fire martial says the areas with the worst fires haven't burned in over 60 years?
Climate change didn't stop those areas from naturally burning every 10 to 25 years.
