Air Sourced Heat Pump.

A person today that I was talking to, that has had a new build home which was required by building regs. to have an air sourced heat pump for heating and hot water, complained that the system was slow to heat or cool as required. He said that he had to have underfloor heating installed. It was slow to warm the rooms on cold days. He recently had the system set to cool the rooms on the very hot recent days. But this morning was cooler and he required heating. Is this normal?

    We are not talking a “few degrees”, they are talking 1.5 degrees since some random time which is well outside the range of accurate temperature readings. 3 degrees more than now in even California could be lived with, curiously temperatures on the equator are often less than there, 3 degrees and another 500 ppm of CO2 would probably double world crop production, someone is seriously delusional, and it is not me! Do you know anything about plants, they feed on CO2, and respond to it as more food, more growth? This is normal horticultural practice, to get CO2 levels in greenhouses to 1500-2000 ppm to increase growth and therefore production, and shorten the growing season. 

    Just as in Engineering, continuous study is required of everyone for their entire life. It is an excellent way to increase knowledge, like studying the posts here. It is always unwise to be sure about anything unless it has been fully studied and not just headlines from pressure groups, whose aim may well not be the good of society or the world. The IPCC is a POLITICAL organisation, as is the entire UN, whose purpose is to push “Man-made Warming”. The name has changed to “Climate Change” because the warming did not meet their projections, now they cannot be wrong whatever happens! You need to study the proof it is manmade, there is none, and your rejection of the CO2 level as “just noise” when the graph line is straight and just as before with a statistical certainty value of 99.99% is ridiculous.
