Right cause ~ 5% of energy being generated by renewables is such a big help!!

[-] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Do any of you cite or do you just enjoy clinging to doomer YouTube videos with sketchy sources and a reach so far they may as well be Mr. Fantastic? Propaganda hitting y'all hard.

Most first world nations are far above 5%. I see some 10-20 year old data that suggests around 5... we are well above that in the USA, let alone the world.

Renewable energy generates over 20% of all U.S. electricity , and that percentage continues to grow. The following graphic breaks down the shares of total electricity production in 2022 among the types of renewable power: In 2022, annual U.S. renewable energy generation surpassed coal for the first time in history.

In 2022, 38% of the world's electricity was delivered by carbon-free generation sources (nuclear, hydropower, and combined renewables), similar to 2021. The global electricity system is still mostly powered by fossil energy, but it is undergoing an increasingly rapid rate of change.

38% of electricity. Check here it says about 15% is "renewable" energy (which still relies on fossil fuels to be constructed) and its not like the demand for fuel/electricity is slowing down, its rapidly increasing!

Nuclear is zero-emission clean energy mate... I love how you're all just wrong, constantly, but goalposts shift again and again while you just ignore my already placed sources that cover everything you're all talking about.

Be a concern troll, be a propagandist, do you mate, it's Lemmy lmfao. Either way, to all the doomers out there, it's bullshit.

The vast majority of humanity will keep going down the right path, despite apocalypticists heralding the end of civilization every year since Jesus was doing it. Avoiding the worst of 4 degrees of warming has already been mitigated and we're on a trend to keep it going lower and lower, because people DO care about our futures, because we're those people lmfao.

Climate change being real doesn't mean having to be a jaded cynic.

What? Nuclear is included in my 15% figure. Also do some research, anyone with half a brain in climate science is terrified.

Are you interpreting your quote wrong? What do you think 38% of electricity and 15% renewable means vs what I quoted?

Yeah, because of the refugee crisis it presents for coastal nations and poor middle-mid latitudes which is already an issue. Not because the world will end lol.

Since logic won't work, maybe I'll just try have to use social media on y'all too via science memes.

Electricity is not the only energy. Do you run your car with Electricity? Can you make steel with solar panels? Can you create fertilizer with wind turbines?? The last time we had as much CO2 in the atmosphere as today the climate was IIRC 4-6°C warmer than today and sea levels were meters above where they are today. If the predictions are correct we are on track for RCP 8.5 a.k.a. we are fucked and don't even realize it yet
