There is no evidence that climate change is a human extinction event. The Belfast project aims to develop environmentally friendly, high-speed ferries, capable of carrying up to 350 passengers. “Ummm, Shellenberger was the Time Magazine 2008 Hero of the Environment, … That’s good enough for me as far as climate activist credentials go! Anyone can submit an application to be an expert reviewer. (3) Considering that the BTI playbook traditionally belongs to the Lomborg Collective, I’ll let others to pay due diligence to Mike’s new pamphlet [1]. After all, who is running the global economy? I am very uncomfortable with some of the rhetoric coming out of the climate movement. At the end of Apocalypse Never, I ask the question of how to respond to people like Readfearn & his comrades, who are not only in the grip of an apocalyptic religion, they don't realize it's a religion! And so the dramatic decrease in carbon emissions/intensity of the UK grid is likely to continue for quite some time as more wind gets added. [Nuke Nut] Only nukes can solve the problem. Just to add a couple of things. Luckily shipping is a pretty small component of transport emissions. I also, pedantically, take objection to your use of the word ‘teraforming’ (sic). Dave, G’dmit, still wrong, On other note, when Shellenberger’s article was removed by Forbes, it was defended by WUWT, the GWPF, and Marc Morano (to name but a few name). Q.What are Para magnetic substances? Pretty much everywhere has registered cases (Turkmenistan and North Korea have not, though, like Antarctica). The Government may lose a vote on Huawei despite an 80 seat majority. I am sure that they must have been pointed out to him before publication of the English version of TSE, but cherry-pickers tend to prefer certain cherries. Shellenberger is also clearly targeting his book at a general audience. Vogtle’s units must meet November 2021 and November 2022 in-service dates for regulators and an independent monitor of the construction, Vogtle Monitoring Group, assessed Units 3 and 4 as “highly unlikely” to meet those goals, based on its reviews of the project.”, I wonder how many climate-action-delayism boxes MS’s book will tick from the paper: Lamb WF et al. pendantry; This is done in an attempt to convince the reader that his roots are progressive. Tuning to the global mean temperature record. ”. https://t.co/e9GXR3JMJg, [1] No idea why thy Wiki’s “pamphlet” in French redirects to “parody.”. I remember looking through the section and seeing that it was full of pedantic alterations that in no way changed the conclusions. pic.twitter.com/9qnhJmaSF8, — Cholsoon Jang (@cholsoon_jang) July 5, 2020, "you might also like" pic.twitter.com/18oSAYfC50. Just because it is POSSIBLE to get from Columbo to London in 8 hours does not mean it is a necessity as 3 months of grounded flights would seem to indicate. It is listed as ‘least concern’ by the IUCN. You get the idea. Oh and that 1st comment definitely needed some more tuning, a bit rushed, doing other things at that time. Even the crowing about how the coward ran away was straight from that benighted country. It is locally common but only in habitat fragments. Much too late. There is plenty of literature to prove it: books like Looting Africa: The Economics of Exploitation, The Looting Machine, To Cook a Continent and Divided Planet: The Ecology of Rich and Poor along with the works of Jason Hickel and Mark Curtis are just a few of the many. What someone did or may have done in the past is wholly irrelevant to what they are saying now. If the program committee formally send me an invitation *then* it is an invited paper. We used to think that getting out of fossil fuels means we would be immune from the political and ethical machinations associated with gulf states. There are doers and then there are thinkers. I have not heard anyone say that children in the UK will not grow up due to climate change. Expecting Environmentalists to do it for them… when nuclear’s best friends cannot even bring themselves to admit global warming is a problem? The key to success is sincerity. The group is led by Artemis Technologies which began as a spin-off from an America’s Cup sailing team. Only if the definition of ‘modern society’ is something almost identical to the economic system and societal structures that have evolved over the last two decades. Willard, you accused Shellenberger of a white lie with a highlighted quote about being an expert reviewer. The future of the power grid: There are literally thousands of other species that are declining at an alarming rate which are still regarded by the IUCN as ‘safe’. The broad statements Shellenberger made above are wrong, if indeed these are his conclusions. Shellenberger makes false claims that anyone familiar with the published evidence can debunk. When not trolling WUWT or whining about posting there, Ken enjoys following, "skeptics are like holocaust deniers" Caroline Lucas and the "Gay-shaded author of romantic M/M short stories and novels" Nick Thiwerspoon. There was no 'then' where there was no time." A fully loaded freight plane can average 560 nautical miles per hour and travel 4.5 miles per gallon of fuel per ton of cargo. The artist’s impressions may be a bit over dramatic, however: To expand nuclear generation, or wind and solar+storage to a level where they can supply most of the increased needs of a post-hydrocarbon society will need massive government backing, money and price support. I'm really curious as to what these equations stand for, I'm not an expert in physics, and since this picture has no name given to the equations I can't really search for this online and learn. Positional thinking leads reactionary centrists to the conclusion that if only the left and right could meet in the middle, wherever that middle is, we could settle contentious debates. It is almost certainly multi-factored given the various types and timings of the transition to agriculture in different regions. Plants and animal ecologies were subject to radical change. Sorry, Very Tall. The chapter on biodiversity was especially risible.The hardest part for me was having to pay for it so that I could do the review (I did not want to promote Lomborg). It was so bad and so sudden I assumed the site had been hacked. Christopher Monckton, for example. Foremost is what might be called the later Frankfurt school—emphasizing in an uneasy mix the early Marx and the late Hegel and most frequently, if not necessarily properly, identified with the works of Adorno. But then there is always a market amongst the devotees to an ideology for selling exculpatory confessionals of heinous past behaviour. When he was just a nuclear power propagandist he already used cheap rhetoric tricks, used totally outdated data on renewables, cherry picked data and studies that fitted his agenda etc. I suspect those early solar thermal plants with storage invested in something there was no market or market mechanism to extract value from storage, yet. It’s serious enough without exaggerating. To be fair to cargo ships, they may burn the dirtiest sulphur fuels, but as a means of moving a tonne of materiel over a distance they are by far the most efficient method. Whereas St. Augustine started with the insight that time is something created, modern physics starts with the insight that time is something physical. The models have been proven to be quite accurate for well-studied taxa like birds, and by the time TSE was written there were a number of papers published in journals like Nature and Proceedings of the National Academy of Science that supported these models. Also spending a lot of time felling trees, fighting off tomato blight, and nobely defending stone fruit trees from canker…. It takes a mere breeze to rile him. For example, a rainbow is seen when light passes through water droplets hanging in the atmosphere. Thanks for asking, you? https://currency.com/cost-of-new-sizewell-c-nuclear-plant-in-england-revealed-at-20bn. A number of studies have shown that genetic diversity of species in well-studied taxa has decreased by 60% or more since 1970. I’ve seen several arguments that the Holocene’s relative stability compared to the past 300ka is what allowed sedentary agriculture to finally take hold. Play. Ask any physics question and get an answer from our experts in as little as two hours. Are you sure? Since a century ago, new physics theories and ideas have led to many revolutionary results.
