"Vaihtoehtoiset energiat" valtava riski sijoittajille

KOMMENTTI


* Global warming patterns have reversed in the past decade, Rice says, citing studies by meteorologist Dr. Judah Cohen, whom BlackRock has on retainer. Ten years is microscopic in geological terms but "you'd better hope global warming is caused by man-made [carbon dioxide] if you're investing in these sectors," he says. "I think that's a huge risk based on some of the evidence that's been coming out."

* Alternative energies are not economical without major government subsidies or a large enough carbon tax. The cap and trade legislation currently being debated is "not enough to do anything," Rice says. "All it does is provide Obama a pass to Copenhagen" where the U.N. is hosting a climate change conference in December.

Johtava IPCC-tiedemies: "Ilmastonmuutos ei ehkä ihmisen aiheuttama"

"Alarmistien" rivit alkavat rakoilla jo kaikkein "pyhimmästäkin", eli IPCC:sta, johtaviin tiedemiehiinsä kuuluva Tom Trip esitti epäilyksensä antropogeenisesta ilmastonmuutoksesta torstain konferenssissa Salt Lake City´ssä:

The Salt Lake Tribune

"At Thursday's convention, Tripp found a receptive audience among the 250 people attending the conference. He said there is so much of a natural variability in weather it makes it difficult to come to a scientifically valid conclusion that global warming is man made. "It well may be, but we're not scientifically there yet"

Nature Geoscience: Global warming: Our best guess is likely wrong

Nature Geoscience esittää tänään tuoreen tutkimuksen, joka haastaa hiilidioksidin
roolin ilmaston lämpenemisessä.


RICE UNIVERSITY

"No one knows exactly how much Earth's climate will warm due to carbon emissions, but a new study this week suggests scientists' best predictions about global warming might be incorrect.

The study, which appears in Nature Geoscience, found that climate models explain only about half of the heating that occurred during a well-documented period of rapid global warming in Earth's ancient past. The study, which was published online today, contains an analysis of published records from a period of rapid climatic warming about 55 million years ago known as the Palaeocene-Eocene thermal maximum, or PETM"

Ilmasto-ordotoksian epäilijät Nurnbergin oikeudenkäyntiin ?

Alkaakohan tämä käydä jo riskaabeliksi ? Kaksi humppanobelistia, Al Gore ja Paul Krugman yhdessä James Hansenin kanssa vaativat eriasteisia suukapuloita ilmastonmuutoksen kritisoijille ja nimettömät lähteet jopa "Nurnbergin oikeudenkäyntiä".

ROGER PIELKE JR

"Nature (with hopefully some constructive input from humans) will decide the global warming question based upon climate sensitivity, net radiative forcing, and oceanic storage of heat, not on the type of multi-decadal time scale variability we are discussing here. However, this apparent impulsive behavior explicitly highlights the fact that humanity is poking a complex, nonlinear system with GHG forcing – and that there are no guarantees to how the climate may respond"

AURINKOENERGIASTA


"Solar power can never produce continuous, predictable low cost power. It must always be supported by expensive power storage systems or by reliable power sources such as coal, gas, hydro or nuclear.

No matter how many millions of taxpayer money is poured into “research”, it can never solve the two fatal flaws of solar power.

Firstly, sunlight energy arrives in very dilute form, and thus needs vast areas of collectors to harvest significant energy. This results in high capital costs and much environmental disturbance. Solar power can light one 75-watt bulb for every card table of collectors (in the middle of the day only). How many card tables do we need to run the trains, factories, fridges, homes, heaters, hospitals and tools of a big city?

Secondly, the solar energy produced during daylight hours is constantly variable and unpredictable, and zero power is generated at night. As a result, solar power farms seldom produce more than an average of 15% of their rated capacity over a year and as low as 1% for a day or so"
