Read this
interesting article on HALEU (high-assay,
low enriched) nuclear fuel from disused ERBII
reactor and its planned use in the Oklo Aurora
micro-reactor at INL (Idaho National Laboratory).
HALEU is seen by many as the fuel for small reactors
and as a tool to recup energy from spent nuclear
fuel.
The Oklo Aurora reactor is a reactor
running on metallic fuel, without any liquid
circuits. |

The German philosoph
Gunnar KAISER
asks 12 very logical, but easy to understand
questions regarding climate and its variation; he
asks these questions to the famous TV physics
professor Harald Lesch. Watch the
YouTube video
(German spoken, about 17 minutes) and just try to
follow the logic!

Look at these graphs which show a similar 60-year
sinus-pattern for the velocity of warming and the
change in ocean heat content. Note also that the
velocity of warming seems to be uncorrelated to the
yearly CO2 emissions (here gigaton C/year, right
axis, red plot).

Clive BEST has a good article on the
baseline
problem of temperature series, and why the
choice of the baseline period is influencing the
concordance (or discordance) between models and
observational data:
"It
is the model projections which change dramatically
when using different baselines. One should always
bear this in mind whenever an ensemble of models
seem to perfectly match the data well."

Excellent and very short video
from Prager online University with Prof. Richard
Lindzen from MIT who tells the essentials in
crystal clear words .

A look at the Shape of Temperature Change over Time.
Interesting blog comment at WUWT by Mark Fife concluding
"In every 10-year average, 99.7% of the
stations fall within 2.25° and -1.75° of their 1920 –
2011 average".
10. A real cool 12 minute video by Dr. David Evans "Climate
change in 12 minutes". Peek also into this
animated
video by Dr. Roy Spencer.
Bill Gates, who said poor countries
“desperately need cheap sources of energy now to fuel
economic growth that lifts families out of poverty. They
can’t afford today’s expensive clean energy solutions and
we can’t expect them to wait for the technology to get
cheaper.” - See more at:

James
Lovelock: "They all talk, they pass laws,
they do things, as if they knew what was
happening. I don’t think anybody really knows
what’s happening. They just guess. And a whole
group of them meet together and encourage each
other’s guesses." (link)
97. 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."
98. Words
by the great French philosopher Pascal Bruckner:
"All the foolishness of
Bolshevism, Maoism, and Trotskyism are
somehow reformulated exponentially in the
name of saving the planet." (comments

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".
Jean Chardin, 1686.

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

"The greatest challenge facing
mankind is the challenge of distinguishing

| "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. |
