Why have there been decades long hiatuses in global warming while CO2 was rapidly rising? Theoretically, the effect of added CO2 in the atmosphere should be instant. It allegedly works by bouncing electromagnetic radiation around and electromagnetic radiation moves at the speed of light. But there has been no instant effect. There have been long periods (e.g. 1945 to 1975, referred to by some as "the long hiatus") when the temperature did not rise at all, even though CO2 rose markedly over that period. Message 31219163 1945-75 global temps actually declined slightly. For last 20 yrs there's been another long hiatus while CO2 has been rapidly rising.

ARENA backs plan to use solar energy for alumina smelting By Sophie Vorrath on 14 April 2016 A project that could lead to the use of solar thermal technology by Australia’s large industrial sector – and cut its reliance on fossil fuels in half – has been selected by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency in its latest round of funding. Led by the University of Adelaide, the project will work with Australian aluminium giant Alcoa to evaluate the potential for using concentrating solar thermal technologies to generate the industrial process heat used in its alumina refineries in Australia and beyond. reneweconomy.com.au = German Firm Turns Aluminum Smelter Into a 'Virtual Battery
