So like slowly boiling a frog?

You did, for all intents and purposes, accept that a 120ppm increase in CO2 will increase global temp by at least 0.24K. So letting CO2 run wild is still not really acceptable.

The planet cares not about politics.

That is .0009 increase, not even a miniscule increase. Not worth sacrificing anything for.

And the causation appears to be the opposite of CO2 to temperature.

When global cooling begins soon due to solar cycles, CO2 will also decline.

Eco if you sign up to be part of the EU then yes it is an authoritarian system and what is right for some countries isnt for others.

Can you imagine the US being in a coalition government system with Canada and Mexico, and the US being outvoted on something and having to go along with a law you didnt agree with? Welcome to the EU!

If you like being told what to do without thinking (like a sheep) then I guess its perfect.

Generally I give people more credit than that and ultimately laws that didnt suit the UK were one of the main drivers of Brexit as people had had enough.

Green authoritarian laws I disagree with strongly, in fact I disagree with any authoritarian government laws, however green issues are at the forefront and its a multi trillion $ industry and where all the investment is going, like it or not. Historical oil & gas companies and utility companies in Europe are having to diversify into green industries in order to survive.

We disagree on many things but I think that is more of a geographical reason and recent experience issue. Over here its all green green green, you cannot get funding for almost any investment into anything oil + gas whereas in the US I guess that is much easier. EV's in Europe make a lot more sense as there is a defined infrastructure and range anxiety is far less of an issue than it is for US citizens.

Green is not a fad and will happen in Europe, the US is quite a way behind Europe and if and when you do start the transition it will be a very slow process, thats for sure. Maybe it will never happen, who knows, but my guess is it will.

No, the EU is already facing budget constraints and will not be able to finance the transition.

We have not seen the uptake of EVs impact demand for gasoline in Europe with widespread increases in gasoline demand across Europe trending above the 2019 levels.

You have not been able to find any data on rolling stock of EVs? That suggests that the fossil fuel vehicles are still in control of transportation needs for the average European driver.

Sorry, mate.

Gasoline sales are rising through the roof world-wide.

Some countries have surpassed the 2019 pre-Covid levels.

How solar has exploded in the US in just a year – in numbers

Michelle Lewis | Aug 13 2023 - 9:00 pm PT46 Comments

Solar and storage companies have announced over $100 billion in private sector investments in the US since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) a year ago, according to a new analysis released today by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA).

Since President Joe Biden signed the IRA in August 2022, 51 solar factories have been announced or expanded in the US.

These new and expanded factories will invest nearly $20 billion into US communities and amount to 155 gigawatts (GW) of new production capacity across the solar supply chain. These announcements include 85 GW of solar panel capacity, 43 GW of solar cells, 20 GW of silicon ingots and wafers, and 7 GW of inverter capacity:

Solar factories announced in the last year are going to employ more than 20,000 Americans. 

By 2026, the US will have over 17 times its current manufacturing capacity across modules, cells, wafers, ingots, and inverters when these announced factories are online – and that’s enough to supply the majority of solar projects expected to be built in the US.

And when it comes to post-IRA battery storage growth, 65 GWh of manufacturing capacity has been announced across 14 new or expanded facilities. Over 3 GW of new large-scale energy storage projects have been deployed in the last year.

“The unprecedented surge in demand for American-made clean energy is a clear sign that the clean energy incentives enacted last year by Congress are working,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the SEIA, a solar nonprofit trade association. “This law is a shining example of how good federal policy can help spur innovation and private investment in communities that need it most.”

"The global energy mix in 2023 showed continued dominance of fossil fuels at 82% primary energy consumption, with renewables like wind and solar seeing rapid expansion.

The Russia-Ukraine war profoundly impacted energy markets, driving up natural gas and coal prices while disrupting energy imports and altering coal phase-out plans in Europe.

Carbon dioxide emissions from energy reached a record 34.4 billion metric tons, highlighting the increasing gap from Paris Agreement targets, even as renewable energy sources like wind and solar achieved significant milestones."

You mean you didn't know that until I explained it to you? Here is the explanation of atmospheric absorption relating to the greenhouse effect.

https://www.bgs.ac.uk/discovering-geology/climate-change/how-does-the-greenhouse-effect-work/

"A greenhouse gas is called that because it absorbs infrared radiation from the Sun in the form of heat, which is circulated in the atmosphere and eventually lost to space."

Without going into the detailed bandpass wavelengths of specific radiation:

The greenhouse effect works like this:

1. The sun's energy travels through space via radiation and reaches Earth's atmosphere.
2. Some of this energy is reflected back into space by clouds and other particles in the atmosphere.
3. The remaining energy is absorbed by Earth's surface.
4. Earth's surface then releases some of this energy as infrared radiation.
5. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere absorb this infrared radiation and trap it.
6. This trapped energy warms Earth's atmosphere, oceans, and surface.

Even more important, there is a positive feedback loop between atmospheric water vapor (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). working as follows:

1. As CO2 levels in the atmosphere increase, the greenhouse effect becomes "stronger". This causes the Earth's temperature to rise.
2. As the Earth's temperature rises, more water evaporates from the oceans and land.
3. The increased water vapor in the atmosphere traps more heat, which further warms the Earth.
4. This warming causes even more water to evaporate, and so on.

Small addition to point #1 you probably know of.  Some light is reflected off the surface.  It can be as low as 4% for asphalt or as high as 80% for fresh snow.  This sadly reinforces a feedback loop, higher temperatures lead to reduced land surface area covered by snow or ice, which then causes the planet to absorb even more heat.

4. This warming causes even more water to evaporate, and so on.

There are all sorts of feedbacks in the climate models, including particulate levels which have a huge short term effect. The actual CO2 greenhouse effect is extremely miniscule according to this article, not significant. H2O greenhouse effect completely dwarfs the CO2 greenhouse effect, and H2O effects have a feedback impact on CO2 levels, when temperature falls, CO2 levels fall. There are also "shade" effects of H2O interacting with particulate levels.

The overall CO2 effect derived from human contributions is extremely small.

Simply focusing on CO2 creates distorted climate models which are of low explanatory value.

The authors give a separate calculation for CO2 contribution, as follows.

" Effect of Recently Increased Atmospheric CO2 It is of some interest to calculate the increase in temperature that has occurred due to the increase in atmospheric CO2 levels from the 280ppm prior at the start of the industrial revolution to the current 420ppm registered at the Mona Loa Observatory. (K. W. Thoning et. al. 2019) [17]. The HITRAN calculations show that atmospheric absorptivity has increased from 0.727 to 0.730 due to the increase of 140ppm CO2, resulting in a temperature increase of 0.24Kelvin. This is, therefore, the full extent of anthropogenic global warming to date."

So that is a grand contribution for CO2 since Industrial Revolution of .24K or about .09%. Less than one tenth of one percent. Almost nothing at all.

Electric vehicles in Europe - statistics & facts

Europe

In June 2022, a European Parliament vote mandated that all new cars and vans sold in the European Union should be zero-emission vehicles by 2035. This measure was part of an ongoing goal to reduce European transport emissions and will impact most of Europe. Passenger cars made up most of the carbon dioxide emissions of the European Union's transport sector in 2019, amounting to over 43 percent of the emissions.

The electric mobility market is gaining steam, with forecasts projecting it to be worth just under 1.4 trillion U.S. dollars worldwide in 2027. Europe is one of the market leaders driving this growth forward. Between 2020 and 2021, the European plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) market had grown by 66 percent year-over-year, and regional and governmental targets could propel sales even further.
 

All-electric takes the lead in a diverse market

Quarterly PEV sales skyrocketed in the second quarter of 2020, boosted by a greater environmental consciousness due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This uptake in new e-vehicle registration led to the displacement of the equivalent of 3.8 billion liters of gasoline in Europe, making a dent in the region's motor fuel consumption. Spearheading the fleet electrification movement were Germany—which recorded over 681,400 electric vehicle sales in 2021—and Norway—with battery-electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles representing over 86 percent of its 2021 new vehicle sales. Tesla, Renault, and Volkswagen were among the best-selling brands for fully electric cars in the region—The Tesla Model 3, Renault Zoe, and Volkswagen ID.3 were the most popular models in the European Union in 2021. All-electric cars were the region's most popular electric vehicle type, with a European market share of over 10 percent. However, some countries still prefer plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) options in parts due to unequal access to charging infrastructure throughout Europe. Spain recorded 1.4 charging locations per 100 kilometers of roadway in 2021. It had a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) market share of under three percent that same year—compared to over five percent for PHEVs.

Again you are assuming a zero-sum market where one product gains at the expense of another, that is not reality. In the real world markets are not fixed in their dimensions but fluctuate in size, so that it is possible for both products to increase sales simultaneously.

That chart is already out of date, in many countries the pre-pandemic levels of 2019 have already been surpassed.

Gasoline sales are rising through the roof world-wide.

Some countries have surpassed the 2019 pre-Covid levels.

These countries are hotbeds for oil demand and gasoline demand.

U.S., Germany,, France, Sweden, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Denmark, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, India, Philippines. Even Britain and Norway are up YoY for gasoline demand.

Demand for oil is ramping up past all-time levels, consistent with the increasing demand for gasoline and oil in large nations such as the U.S., France, Germany, Italy, Britain.

Oil prices are forecast to top $100 before end of year.

And China? China is making record demands for more oil!

https://www.iea.org/reports/oil-market-report-august-2023

"World oil demand is scaling record highs, boosted by strong summer air travel, increased oil use in power generation and surging Chinese petrochemical activity. Global oil demand is set to expand by 2.2 mb/d to 102.2 mb/d in 2023, with China accounting for more than 70% of growth. "

You removed the last sentence from that paragraph; I wonder why?  Do not cherry pick pieces you like and ignore the rest.

In reality they think China demand is going to drop way off (to less than 50% of this year peak).

Here is the full paragraph:

"World oil demand is scaling record highs, boosted by strong summer air travel, increased oil use in power generation and surging Chinese petrochemical activity. Global oil demand is set to expand by 2.2 mb/d to 102.2 mb/d in 2023, with China accounting for more than 70% of growth. With the post-pandemic rebound running out of steam, and as lacklustre economic conditions, tighter efficiency standards and new electric vehicles weigh on use, growth is forecast to slow to 1 mb/d in 2024."
