fossil fuels

Die Erde ist (auch) eine Klimaanlage. Das folgt aus der Thermodynamik, weil sich die Temperaturen von Körpern, auch im Vakuum (Weltall) gegenüberstehender Körper durch Infrarot-Strahlung ihre Temperaturen auszugleichen versuchen, am Tag strahlt die heisse Sonne auf die kalte Erde, nachts die relativ warme Erde ins Weltall. Neben der Energieversorgung durch die Sonne sind Ozeane und Wolken dabei die wichtigsten Parameter.

Mit den Modellen hat man übrigens auch ausgerechnet wie viel Deutschland durch das geplante Vermindern des absolut lebensnotwendigen CO2 zur Absenkung der Temperatur beitragen kann. Ergebnis: 7/1000 Grad, theoretisch, und nicht messbar. Kein spürbarer Erfolg für 2 Billionen Euro. Es gibt keine Welt zu retten, man muss sich an die unausweichlich steigenden Temperaturen anpassen.

Auch wenn Alle einer Meinung sind, können alle Unrecht haben.

Daniel Wetzel, Die Welt: Im ersten globalen Energiewende-Ranking kommt Deutschland nicht mal in Europa unter die Top Ten der Klima-Schützer. Nur gemeinsam mit Frankreich könne Deutschland auf Ökostrom umstellen. Energiewende und Klimaschutz gehören nicht zu den Prioritäten der Regierung. Erreichbar sind ihre 2030er-Klimaziele nur, wenn wir sofort gezwungen werden, jeden Kessel, Ofen, Motor stillzulegen. Völlig illusorisch.

Because of unbelievably bad energy planning for decades by extreme green zealots and allowing themselves to become seriously dependent on a totalitarian state and former enemy, Much of Europe is now experiencing near fatal energy chaos. The cost of natural gas and other forms of energy have risen far beyond affordable levels for most people and businesses. Total chaos and worse lie ahead. The need for plentiful energy from fossil fuels was a key reason for Germany and Japan to initiate WWII. How can European and North American military defend their countries with only intermittent, unreliable wind and solar energy?

Aren't you worried about thawing permafrost? No, quantitatively the contribution is relatively small. And as a general rule, it always says: Methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than CO₂, which is of course true: Overall, methane has a lower greenhouse gas effect than CO₂. Even if the permafrost thaws, it is uncertain how much of the methane really arrives in the atmosphere. Bacteria can convert methane to CO₂. I'm not worried about the methane. I am not concerned about any catastrophic climate tipping point from use of fossil fuels.

“A Green Minister for Economics and Climate Protection, of all people, has to ramp up additional German coal-fired power plants. Of course only for a short time, in 2030 coal should finally come to an end. Whoever believes it will be saved."

"No major industrialized country has followed us on the wrong path of hasty phasing out of nuclear power."

"Listen to the science" say the children and many politicians and journalists. They mean those scientists from the "Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change" IPCC who, in their 2013 report (AR5), predict that if CO2 levels in the atmosphere double, there is an eighty-five percent probability that global temperatures will rise by 1 to 6 °C. The range of 1 to 6 °C is clearly a sign of ignorance.

Man and his emissions cannot be the cause on other planets. It is the sun!

What are the flaws in the greenhouse model of the atmosphere? The grossest error is that convection is only taken into account in one direction (upwards). This would result in a vacuum at the bottom.

Germany has the highest electricity prices in the world thanks to the bureaucratic monster that was set in motion against all economic and ecological reason as part of the "great transformation" and which, under the euphemistic cover name of "Energiewende" (energy transition) means loss of prosperity for everyone and destroys the security of the power supply. Even more irresponsible is the production of fuels from palm and soybean oil. "Over an area the size of New Zealand, rainforests, humans and animals have already had to give way to "green deserts."" Only one-third of the palm oil imported by the EU is used for food and animal feed, two-thirds is wasted on biodiesel and energy production, in the name of "renewable energy" policies.

notrickszone.com, P. Gosselin: Germany’s once highly promoted “Energiewende” (transition to green energies) and the country’s feed-in act have been given a grade of “F” by one of the country’s top economists, Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Hans-Werner Sinn. Top German economist Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Hans-Werner Sinn says supplying Germany’s energy needs with wind and sun is “disillusionment”.

Der Gedanke der Nutzung von freier Energie aus der Umwelt hat etwas verführerisches, zumal sicher jede Einsparung von fossilen Brennstoffen sinnvoll ist und zu begrüßen wäre. In der Vergangenheit wurde ja auch mit Segelschiffen gereist und mit Wind Getreide gemahlen.

Wir leben jedoch in einer empfindlichen und winzigen, besonders aber Energie-armen Zone des Universums. Die Entstehung des Lebens und die Evolution ist außerhalb dieser Zone undenkbar. In dieser Zone über relevante Mengen an Energie verfügen zu können ist daher nur mit dem Zugriff auf akkumulierte und neutralisierte Energiespeicher möglich. Das sind die üblichen bekannten Substanzen wie Holz, Kohle, Öl und instabile Materie wie Uran etc.

Everything that happens on Earth happens in cycles. The only straight line is in man’s mind. There are no straight lines in nature. Everything is nature is formed by spinning spheres, or waves.

Jon Boone, naturalist, environmentalist, bird expert and artist, wind energy expert and John Shanahan, civil engineer advocate for sound energy planning worldwide: In many countries, energy planning for generation of electricity is a mixed process consisting of No-Truths and Half-Truths promoted by special interest groups of all kinds. For the world to advance as best as possible it would be good to deal simply with Whole-Truths about fossil fuels, hydro-electric and nuclear energy. Similar issues apply to energy for all uses besides electricity. That will be discussed in a separate essay.

In 2011 the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) declared in Scientific American and in Nature Geoscience that more than 1/2 of all the heat that keeps planet Earth from freezing in the cosmos comes from the fission reactor at the Earth’s core. The other half of the heat that keeps life possible on Earth, comes from the Sun. The earth’s core is said to be 6,230 degrees centigrade . . . Equal to the temperature of the surface of the Sun. Scientists described the core of the Earth as a fission reactor producing more than one half of all the heat needed to survive in the Universe.

Not one research paper regarding ‘Climate Change’ ever written to this day includes that 50% contribution to global warming coming from the Earth’s core. 100 % of all papers written to date describe the effects of the Sun and Solar Radiation as being the only source of energy.

C3 Headlines is an anonymous American website providing information skeptical of Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming and supporting moderation and efficiency in using the blessings of fossil fuels. Fully supports nuclear power: This article is a collection of quotes by or about man-made global warming alarmists.

Richard Lindzen is an atmospheric physicist, Emeritus Professor at MIT. An implausible conjecture backed by false evidence and repeated incessantly has become politically correct ‘knowledge,’ and is used to promote the overturn of industrial civilization. What we will be leaving our grandchildren is not a planet damaged by industrial progress, but a record of unfathomable silliness as well as a landscape degraded by rusting wind farms and decaying solar panel arrays. There is at least one positive aspect to the present situation. None of the proposed policies will have much impact on greenhouse gases. Thus we will continue to benefit from the one thing that can be clearly attributed to elevated carbon dioxide: namely, its effective role as a plant fertilizer, and reducer of the drought vulnerability of plants.

Dissatisfied with the earlier attempt to replace “global warming” with the ho-hummer “climate change,” Presidential Science Advisor John Holdren has relabeled it “climate disruption.” The switch better enables claims that any nasty weather event can be ascribed to driving your SUV.

It is now safe to say the skeptic community has sealed the fate of the old climate dogma. The dogmatists still defend themselves with increasing shrillness, but that only serves to further isolate it and erode its credibility.

Tom Harris, executive director of the Ottawa, Canada-based International Climate Science Coalition: In a recent interview with the Vatican News service, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore again claimed “the climate crisis is now the biggest existential challenge humanity has ever faced.” The Goddard Institute for Space Studies asserts that the Global Annual Mean Surface Air Temperature Change from 1880 to 2017 is only just over one degree Celsius despite a reputed 40% rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) content.

"Climate change policy is about how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth." - IPCC official Ottmar Edenhofer. The larger issue has to do with just how many of those who stoke the global warming alarm fires have real confidence in that “science.” So let’s briefly review just a few candid comments that some of them have offered on this topic.

Terry Donze, geophysicist, examines the science and politics of catastrophic man-made global warming in a letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal and in his book,"ALARMISM EXPOSED, CLIMATE REALISM." His book is recommended reading for high school and college students and for presentations to the public.

Roy Spencer, meteorologist. Before becoming a Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2001, he was a Senior Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center: The total amount of CO2 humans have added to the atmosphere in the last 100 years has upset the radiative energy budget of the Earth by only 1%. The IPCC says there will be strong warming, with cloud changes making the warming worse. I claim there will be weak warming.

Martin Mangino.The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that climate change or global warming is not causally related to anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and, therefore, mitigation of such emissions, as a matter of public policy, is pointless.
