Klimaatoptimist Arnout Jaspers spreekt
Volgende week woensdag 4 september is hij een avond lang onze gast, maar wij zochten hem alvast op,
Jaspers schreef na de bestseller De stikstoffuik het boek De klimaatoptimist. Daarin legt hij uit dat we geen reden hebben om in paniek te raken over klimaatverandering.

Voorbeeld: However, some people are so concerned about the ways to push climate change and CO₂ reduction that they are going out of their minds, according to Lindzen. “They’re showing this temperature graph. And I think they’re realizing people are saying, you know, you draw it like this (going sharply up – HS), but this is one degree. That’s not much. And they’re worried: this is not getting people worried enough. So they’re saying: well, showing them a flood, showing them a storm, that would be visually convincing,” he says. And as it happens, there are always places on Earth that suffer from extreme weather in a way that occurs only once in a hundred years. “And people don’t figure it out that a once in a hundred years event is occurring some place on Earth every month, or five places every month. You have a picture of that. You now put that on television and you can associate ‘climate change’ with something dramatic,” Lindzen says. “The fact that they had to go to that to convince people suggests it was a fake issue because they’re clearly using something that would be normally called false advertising,” he adds.

De EU en het VK lijken steeds meer op de Sovjet-Unie in haar nadagen
Het ancien régime van West-Europa zal niet lang meer standhouden. Populistisch-conservatieve partijen hebben de afgelopen jaren overal op het continent terrein gewonnen, juist omdat de dagelijkse realiteit van de meerderheid haaks staat op de doctrine van de elite. Maar zolang de kiezers niet afdwingen dat er weer economisch gezond verstand, een rationeel energiebeleid en nationale soevereiniteit komen, zullen West-Europa en Groot-Brittannië hun koers in Sovjetstijl voortzetten.
Misbruik van de wetenschap: het toeschrijven van extreem weer aan klimaatverandering
Zowel de reguliere media als overheidsrapporten hebben zich vastgeklampt aan de ‘toeschrijving’ van extreme weersomstandigheden aan klimaatverandering, om het alarmisme aan te wakkeren. Maar dergelijke onderzoeken vertonen ernstige tekortkomingen, met fouten op zowel wetenschappelijk als interpretatief vlak, en zijn eerder om juridische en politieke dan om wetenschappelijke redenen opgesteld, aldus Ralph Alexander.
Europees energiebeleid: versnellen richting de muur
Wat doe je als je merkt dat je de verkeerde kant op rijdt? In Europa is het antwoord simpel: harder gas geven. De energietransitie moet sneller, ambitieuzer, radicaler. Maar ondertussen stapelen de problemen zich op. Evert Doornhof van Clintel vat de belangrijkste feiten nog eens puntsgewijs samen en vraagt zich bijna wanhopig af: waarom trapt er niemand op de rem?
