As I have said over and over the data I have presented includes Q1 of 2022 which shows an increase. Or perhaps you are not aware that it is still just Q2 of 2022.

The trends show a plateau developing, which is good news for everyone, Jay, You should be happy about it.

Oil prices continue to maintain a healthy pace, and it appears that this will be the new status quo. People are not willing to stop driving their vehicles.

"U.S. gasoline and diesel prices are at record highs and show no sign of falling or of denting demand.

Refining capacity has shrunk dramatically since 2020 due to the covid pandemic, driving fears of a supply crisis.

It is looking increasingly likely that the only cure for these high prices would be a recession, a cure that could be as bad as the disease."

Great your advertising the high oil prices forever reinforces that EV's are a cost effective alternative...That is if you can find one for sale as all the EV's on the market have over a year wait list.......

 

Enjoy everytime you tank up....What are you spending per mile for gas??????? How much a year at the new prices?????

No, it shows a clear plateau, which coincides with the predicted commencement of a cooling phase consistent with solar cycle data. 

You should be happy about this, as the solar cycle impact on earth temperature will overcome the impact of reduced particulate effluent.

This is all good news.

you must be smoking something....

 

You have over the past 2 years even higher rises in global temp than one would expect ...and then it drops back on the last reading to the expected rise and you call this a plateau ???

you really never took stats or understood it based on your statements....

Opinion | John Durham Has Already Won

The Trump-era special prosecutor begins his first trial this week, but the verdict hardly matters.

Kimberley Strassel argued that Durham had already accomplished the “far bigger goal” than convicting Sussmann — to “put every sleazy collusion player in the hot seat, with ramifications beyond the courtroom.”

Now Gabby I do believe that post will lead to a rise in "Global Warming"..albeit abstractly that I give you.

Now back on topic? Global Warming?...Climate Change?...or perhaps Climate Inversions? Carbon causing climate inversion's? Go Figure! Purely speculative of course..your mileage may vary.

How do greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere?

Greenhouse gas molecules in the atmosphere absorb light, preventing some of it from escaping the Earth. This heats up the atmosphere and raises the planet’s average temperature.

 

February 19, 2021

What do CO₂, methane, and water vapor have in common? If your first thought was “greenhouse gases,” you’d be correct! Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere, in a process called the “greenhouse effect.”¹ But how do these molecules actually warm our planet?

We’ll start our exploration of greenhouse gases with a single carbon dioxide (CO₂) molecule. Let’s say this CO₂ molecule came from the exhaust in your car. From your tailpipe, it drifts up into the atmosphere, diffusing among the other gases. There, particles of light—photons—hit our molecule.

So what happens to those photons? “Greenhouse gas molecules will absorb that light, causing the bonds between atoms to vibrate,” says Jesse Kroll, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Chemical Engineering at MIT. “This traps the energy, which would otherwise go back into space, and so has the effect of heating up the atmosphere.” Basically, the bonds between the carbon and oxygen atoms in our CO₂ molecule bend and stretch to absorb photons. (With other greenhouse gases, the molecular bonds are different, but in all cases, they absorb photons, stopping them from leaving the atmosphere.)

Eventually, our CO₂ molecule will release these photons. Sometimes, the photons continue out into space. But other times, they rebound back into the Earth’s atmosphere, where their heat remains trapped.

And importantly, greenhouse gases don’t absorb all photons that cross their paths. Instead, they mostly take in photons leaving the Earth for space. “CO₂ molecules absorb infrared light at a few wavelengths, but the most important absorption is light of about 15 microns,” says Kroll. Incoming light from the sun tends to have much shorter wavelengths than this, so CO₂ doesn’t stop this sunlight from warming the Earth in the first place. But when the Earth re-emits this light,² it has a longer wavelength, in the infrared spectrum.

And the range of wavelengths around 15 microns is a particularly crucial window. The most common greenhouse gas, water vapor, doesn’t efficiently absorb photons in this range. So when CO₂ grabs photons with wavelengths around 15 microns, it’s selecting for the same light that normally has the easiest time escaping Earth’s atmosphere.

There’s another reason why CO₂ is such an important greenhouse gas: it has a long atmospheric lifetime. This has to do with the way CO₂ reacts (or rather, doesn’t react) with the atmosphere. “The atmosphere is a very oxidative environment due to the presence of oxygen and ultraviolet radiation,” says Kroll. Oxidation occurs when oxygen steals electrons from another atom—it’s the same chemical reaction that causes iron to rust. Methane, another greenhouse gas, reacts easily with oxygen, which removes it from the atmosphere within around 12 years. That’s long enough to affect the climate, but nowhere near the lifetime of CO₂, which does not react with oxygen and can last over a century.

CO₂’s long lifespan is the key reason that human activities are leading to climate change. As we keep taking carbon-based compounds like coal and oil out of the ground, and put that carbon in the atmosphere in the form of CO₂, the added CO₂ piles up much faster than it can be naturally removed.

https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/how-do-greenhouse-gases-trap-heat-atmosphere

not sure if your intention is to get an explanation on things that might be confusing after words of mouth that could have changed things minutely per mouth change over the decades........but this is for your second reference:

Radiation of sun is absorbed by forested land and grass land. Transpiration and respiration release water vapour into the air that later condensed to form cloud.

Lithoral land like rock, sand, soil would absorb the heat from the radiation and release the heat back to the atmosphere upon saturation. This heat would be trapped by the cloud due to its thickness. The retained heat controls the temperature variation (e.g. not too cold at night, not too hot during the day).

Aquatic areas like river and sea, would reflect light where the sun is shinning on it. The rest of the areas absorb. Water evaporates shall heated up enough to form clouds.

Ice covered land like artic, antartic, partial time of tundra areas, light is reflected by the white snowy covered land where it shines. But the heat might be absorbed. Temperature change is hence, minimal for the heat reaches here is absorbed by the ice. Until lately.

Therefore, from this small coarse drawing, we might be able to deduce that

1. most of the radiation from the sun is not reflected except on the surface of water and on ice. But the heat from the radiation is largely absorbed by all forms of land on earth.

2. The heat absorbed is later released into the atmosphere.

3. Source of heat would hence could be summarized as

a) direct radiation ( try to block a beam from laser with palm. Any point your palm is, you feel the heat. This might indicate that radiation carries energy or heat with it along the path it travels.)

b) release from land forms e.g. respiration, transpiration, overheated, evaporation, burning etc

c) heat released from land forms that trapped by the cloud i.e. greenhouse effect

 

Therefore, the explanation by MIT is probably over complicated and probably skewed.

If you would not mind to spend a few minutes to combine the three rough drawings i posted last night and today, you may find the answer to your curiosity, senior.

Removing particulates would only return us to pre industrial status which would not cause a temp rise relative to that period.

Jay I disagree, removing particulates which cause "global dimming" would cause less cloud cover as particulates in the atmosphere can become nuclei for rain droplets.

"Clouds intercept both heat from the sun and heat radiated from the Earth. Their effects are complex and vary in time, location, and altitude. Usually during the daytime the interception of sunlight predominates, giving a cooling effect; however, at night the re-radiation of heat to the Earth slows the Earth's heat loss."

Therefore less particulates/pollution in the atmosphere would cause larger daily temperature variances.

I think what shows EV demand being healthy is that demand is hugely outstripping supply in Europe. What is putting people off buying an EV is that they cant get their hands on the one they want for 12 months. Future demand is almost a given in Europe as pretty much every vehicle manufacturer is stopping producing new ICE vehicles by 2030 due to politics and government bans on new ICE vehicles. North America is a different animal due to the vast distances you need to travel, cost and future tech advances will determine the demand for EV's there.

What will be interesting in Europe will be how long it will take for a sizeable second hand EV market to evolve and whether thiose batteries and their range will be sufficient.

Bottom line....EV expenses will continue to be above the level most people are willing to pay, which means that public transport is essential.

That all translates into a lower standard of living.....and all for no good purpose.

@Ecocharger technology doesnt stand still and you are presuming that batteries will not develop which is a massive miscalculation.

Here read this for example which uses no REE and could possibly give you a 900 mile range on the same volume size battery whilst being much lighter and much cheaper to make and more "green".

The above may never happen, but someone somewhere will make something like this happen in the next 5 years IMHO and that will end ICE as the go to vehicle of choice, its inevitable!

if it cheaper to build, more economical, none pollutive, has far less maintenance costs, and will continue to become cheaper as technology contantly improves then what is not to like???

That so called "NEW" battery is what everyone ignored for decades due to fire/explosion problems.  The culmination was S-Li batteries IMMOLATED about 100 Chinese in several VERY public accidents the worst of which was a BYD Lithium Sulfur battery bus explosion/fire which killed ~30 people.  In any other country BYD would have been sued into oblivion.  In China this is just business as usual and why no Chinese woman will buy Chinese baby formula as TWICE the same company who has twice killed a huge number of infants with their baby formula with poisons knowingly added, to get rid of the junk, never spent a single day in jail and the people running the company are still in charge.  Same goes for BYD and their sulfur battery fires.. 

Until the explosive fire problems are solved and SHOWN via open testing with everyone watching regarding sulfur lithium, this is nothing but the usual brain dead "journalism" or propaganda trying to drum up $$$ for a start up company.   As the same problem exists due to a dendrite short or a crash exposing the battery elements to oxygen.  KABOOM BABY!

@footeab@yahoo.com I did also say the above, besides you have no idea how the Theion battery differs to the Chinese one that kept catching fire.

As they are promoting this with the space  industry and air taxis I am presuming it doesnt catch fire like the Chinese one did or it will most definitely kill people.

"Unfortunately, Theion isn’t initially going to be delivering its technologies to the EV industry. “We’re currently talking to the space industry,” says Ehmes. “We will hand over the R&D surplus to the air taxi next. Then mobile devices like handhelds, laptops, mobile phones, and wearables.” But EVs are definitely on the roadmap for Theion, and production has been designed to scale up to the quantities required by electric cars."

As I said technology moves on or you would still be riding a horse to work!

Sulfur-lithium is all you need to know... and the article said graphene which does nothing to stop the explosive potential of Li-S.  Until we can figure out how to bind the Li-S to keep it from oxidizing while at the same time allowing free electrons to flow.  Good Trick that one.
