Like I said , no conception of reality; the EU is bound by flat-earth fiscal rules which is why the EU economy has been stagnant for decades.
The EU is home of the Green Dream, dumbarse.

Wrong again, BOTH sides of politics fell into line which is why eg the UK's NHS is dysfunctional after 4 decades of neoliberalism - not that Starmer will be able to fix it after 14 years of Tory rule, because he is committed to Thatcher's low tax/government austerity delusion as well.
And the left whingers could have fixed that.

Low IQ supporting blind 'market friendly' ideology; adoption of renewables and closing filthy fossils requires mobilzation of available resources.
And only those " available resources" of which you approve.

"Cheap"/"expensive" is merely flat-earth economics
Nope. "Cheap"/"expensive" is also a comparison of quality. A windfarm that may last 20 years or a nuclear plant that will last longer then 60 years. But your ignorance of economics is telling.

Yes and it never has to have a real value, like crypto.

Low IQ or bad faith actor: see the AGW-CO2 science.
So you can't expalin it. I knew that. But it shows you for the numpty you are.

I agree - along with the majority of people around the world - with the majority IPCC consensus.
Oooh you agree with the majority. That is a comforting thought - NOT. The majority IPCC consensus is that there is no climate crisis, we are not on the "Highway to Hell".

The majority IPCC consensus has all the stats, you are in the minority in rejecting them.
And yet you never quote them.
I will give them to you again, try to learn this time.
This is what the IPCC Physical Science Basis shows at Table 12.12 Page 90.

1. High confidence except over a few regions (CNA and NWS) where there is low agreement across observation datasets.
2. High confidence in tropical regions where observations allow trend estimation and in most regions in the mid-latitudes, medium confidence elsewhere.
3. High confidence in all land regions.
4. Emergence in Australia, Africa and most of Northern South America where observations allow trend estimation.
5. Emergence in other regions.
6. Increase in most northern mid-latitudes, Siberia, Arctic regions by mid-century, others later in the century.
7. Decrease in the Mediterranean area, Southern Africa, South-west Australia.
8. Northern Europe, Northern Asia and East Asia under RCP8.5 and not in low-end scenarios.
9. Europe, Eastern and Western North America (snow).
10. Arctic (snow).
11. Arctic sea ice only.
12. Everywhere except WAN under RCP8.5.
13. With varying area fraction depending on basin.
14. Pacific and Southern oceans then many other region
Explanation for the index from page 90.
Doesn't look that scary. Nothing before 2050 using the discredited RCP8.5
It can also be found at
https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/wg1/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_WGI_Chapter12.pdf page 90of 160 or page 1856 of the whole report.

Your error: your posited "epidemiological studies" as the sole studies re health-destroying effects of smoking is false. Bio-chemical studies are also relevant.
That's for smoking. As I have said before the nicotine can be found in the lungs. Now show us the Bio-chemical studies for PM2.5.

I alway said we should be rolling out renewables asap, and determone whether we need nuclear, and how much, as we approach 100% renewables.
And you are still weeded to the idea of renewables, even though they need replacing much more often than nuclear. "But it is all free money so it doesn't count"

With the huge excess during that time stored in batteries, with big Suncable schemes in the Northern Oz deserts supporting the grid on cloudy days in the South.
Huge stored amount? Tell us about the huge stored amount in SE Australia at the moment.

And then there's wind; and the Oz grid can be interlinked with areas in which the sun is shining for 12 hours a day, with home batteries supplying night-time energy.
So tell us where the sun shines 12 hours a day. I am interested.
