They're saying, Oh, we can we can turn livestock uh manures into magical energy.

Unfortunately, uh the the the the mathematics and the economics don't work at all.

Yeah, well good evening, Matt.

I suppose the the people who've been experiencing drought conditions in much of Ireland over the last couple of months might disagree.

Uh and of course that's sixteen degrees, I assume we're talking about a mean temperature.

In other words, that's a twenty four hour temperature.

So it would take in into account the night as well, because your listeners will be going, Hang on a second, it was a lot warmer than sixteen degrees.

So just for for clarity, yeah, you're looking at a mean temperature.

That's exactly right.

And it's one of the the sort of fingerprints of of of global warming is nighttime temperatures.

And the reason of course is that as the atmospheric blanket uh of of

Heat trapping gases thickens, it's the inability at night of those of of the warm air to escape back into the atmosphere.

That's why we're finding these kind of uh tropical nights matter.

I think the the the technical definition of a tropical night is where temperatures don't drop below twenty degrees centigrade.

No, sure.

But we had another.

But that's not particularly hot, is it?

Well, for Ireland, it's particularly hot.

It's it's like uh as you the Medairn uh spokesperson said, this is two degrees above the pre 1990 average.

So it's a massive change in Ireland in a relatively short period of time.
