Article in WSJ by Princeton physics
professor W. Happer and ex-astronaut (and also former
professor) H. Schmitt:
In Defense of Carbon Dioxide. See also video
here and read on this same subject the article by
Prof.Marko (UCL): Damnation,
le CO2 ne réchauffe plus, il refoirdit. (link
to NASA article)
Quote from the 1990 "Energy
Aftermath" book by 3 MIT scientists: "The
experience of the 1970s and 1980s taught us that if a
technology is commercially viable, then government
support is not needed and if a technology is not
commercially viable, no amount of government support
will make it so." (abstract
of pay-walled paper)

0. Microbatteries... the future for affordable
electricity storage? Read
here .“It’s a new enabling technology... it
breaks the normal paradigms of energy sources. It’s
allowing us to do different, new things.”
1. Article in "Die Welt der Fertigung"
(online magazine of the German industry) by
meteorologist K-E. Puls: "Die
meteorologische Scheinwelt": "Eines scheint
mittlerweile immerhin klar zu sein : Die Erderwärmung
ist vorbei."
2. "Und
sie erwärmt sich doch". If you shudder and
freeze in these pre-summer days, read this
"climate-skeptics" bashing brochure of the German
Umweltbundesamt (UBA). Also a comment
here.
3.
The European Pollutant and Transfer Register has
been updated. Let's not argue why they call CO2 a
pollutant... but this online register is very
interesting to consult. Look out for instance for
Luxembourg's CH4 emissions.

The Right
Climate Stuff is a research team of ex-NASA
scientists. Read their
AGW Science Assessment Report (April 2013): "Our
main objective of determining to what extent CO2
concentrations in our atmosphere can cause detrimental
global warming has led us to an objective conclusion
that this issue is not settled science."
5. Climate model simulations
are wrong 95% of the time: out of 38 models, only 2
come close to the actual observations, the mean of the
ensemble is completely off; click on picture!

excellent app for iphone users (0.79 Euro).
Highly recommended. Search the Apple Store for
"our climate".
98. Words
of the great physicist Freeman Dyson: "Unfortunately
the global warming hysteria, as I see it, is
driven by politics more than by science. If it
happens that I am wrong and the climate
experts are right, it is still true that the
remedies are far worse than the disease that
they claim to cure."
99. R. Lindzen: "Future
generations will wonder in bemused
amazement that the early 21st century's
developed world went into hysterical panic
over a globally averaged temperature
increase of a few tenths of a degree and,
on the basis of gross exaggerations of
highly uncertain computer projections
combined into implausible chains of
inference, proceeded to contemplate a
roll-back of the industrial age"

"Le
doute est le commen-cement de la science ; qui
ne doute de rien n'examine rien ; qui n'examine
rien ne découvre rien ; qui ne découvre rien est
aveugle et demeure aveugle".

Perse.

Some say
the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.
Fire and Ice, R. Frost, 1920

"Und
denn, man muß das Wahre immer wiederholen, weil
auch der Irrtum um uns her immer wieder
gepredigt wird, und zwar nicht von einzelnen,
sondern von der Masse. In Zeitungen und
Enzyklopädien, auf Schulen und Universitäten,
überall ist der Irrtum oben auf, und es ist ihm
wohl und behaglich, im Gefühl der Majorität, die
auf seiner Seite ist". Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe, 1828. |
