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). Contributor. Physics is useful. Aircraft have a 23x speed advantage…, Also the shortest flight time I can find from Columbo to London is 13hr 40min. Georgia Power on June 23 announced changes to the timing of a structural integrity test and integrated leak rate testing. * Vegetarianism reduces one’s emissions by less than 4 per cent Citing claims from a hugely conservative body like the IUCN is profoundly misleading. Not many seem to be actually considering whether or not he really is a reformed climate activist. Why would one comment on the substance of the apology when it’s rather bizarre that he thought he was in a position to make one in the first place? Something about burning down the Amazon for soy maybe not being all that great? Get help and expert answers to your toughest physics questions. “. Even though they’re left wing fascists he still feels compassion for them, suffering as they do from their apocalyptic religion. An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Straightforwardly explaining climate change, so you can read, react and then get on with your life. 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. Conventions for Describing Directions of Vectors. When an object with moment of inertia, I (the angular equivalent of mass), has an angular acceleration, α, then there is a net torque Στ. They highlight the fact that western planners are well aware that our industrialized societies are profoundly unsustainable and require resources from less developed countries to remain affluent and dominant. What someone did or may have done in the past is wholly irrelevant to what they are saying now. Anyone who knows what influential politicians and planners like Henry Kissinger, George Kennan and others have said and written over the past 70 years would realize that developed nations promote policies of plunder by which a disparity of wealth between the north and south is deliberately maintained. That is total nonsense. Clive, Rachel M, I’m surprised that anyone following climate and energy would not’f heard of him. Ideologues never are.”. https://www.ipcc.ch/2019/10/11/wg2-ar6-first-order-draft-expert-review/, REMINDER. No doubt Lomborg and Shellenberger have learned from Moore how to package their anti-environmental beliefs. After deleting two more of your humble reporter’s comments, And Then There’s Physics deigned to explain his thinking: “It’s getting rather tedious posting your comments where you claim the IPCC supports you because it doesn’t say something that it was never going to say, one way or the other.

It just seems there is a lot going against it on political and economic grounds. Nor does it even refer to Adorno’s efforts while in America on The Authoritarian Personality project. Even then, well over 90% of the world’s population will still be vulnerable to infection—more if immunity turns out to be transient. Since this is a calculation that measures distance, the standard unit is the meter (m). Master your physics assignments with our step-by-step physics textbook solutions. Ummm, Shellenberger was the Time Magazine 2008 Hero of the Environment, and was invited by IPCC to be the Expert Reviewer of its next Assessment Report! If it’s possible, that would of course be fine, but it seems to me that there are many countries where wind/solar/hydro could play a big role in their development, at least for the short- to medium-term. Nevertheless, I salute our ancient lemur overlords! Watch how this unfolds. Even the crowing about how the coward ran away was straight from that benighted country. That he STILL ‘apologising’ for being an environmental activist, 16 years later, is rather reminiscent of the ardent religious convert who proclaims the strength of his convictions, not by pointing to any current ‘good works’ but by continually boasting (and often exaggerating) the sinful life he used to lead.

Perhaps when I get bored I’ll look for all the 666’s! Lomborg did not cite them. Clive, On a more sombre note, it was the PETM disruption which opened up the evolutionary niches for primate diversification. He doesn’t. Away from massive centralized, single point of failure power plants and towards global decentralized micro and nano grids. There are doers and then there are thinkers. These are three examples off the top of my head. I hadn’t realized that Mike left the BTI. The title alone should be enough to convince anyone sensible that it isn’t really worth reading. The group is led by Artemis Technologies which began as a spin-off from an America’s Cup sailing team. I do remember the thread with Andrew Dessler, where David Young did his standard “I’m an expert at turbulence and understand climate models better than climate modellers” act. vtg, With Portal being so successful I had rather expected there to be a load of first-person puzzlers to come along in its wake. No mention of the Breakthrough Institute in that testimony either.
