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.

India bouwt aan een ‘fossiele toekomst’
Terwijl westerse regeringen de taal van net zero blijven hanteren, breidt India de productie van steenkool, olie en aardgas in hoog tempo uit om zijn energiezekerheid en economische groei veilig te stellen. Door de handel in koolwaterstoffen met de Verenigde Staten en andere partners te versterken, bouwt India aan wat de auteur een ‘fossiele toekomst’ noemt, waarin betrouwbare en betaalbare energie voorrang krijgt boven klimaatbeloften.
‘Computerprognoses over klimaatverandering zijn overduidelijk onjuist en gevaarlijk misleidend’
De vermeende bedreiging voor de planeet door antropogene klimaatverandering staat al een halve eeuw hoog op de agenda van de Australische politiek. Elk jaar, vlak voor de bijeenkomsten van de VN-klimaatconferentie (CoP), worden kleine stijgingen van de kooldioxide-concentratie in de atmosfeer en de mondiale temperatuur in de media afgeschilderd als voorbodes van een rampzalige toekomst. Elke extreme weersomstandigheid wordt voorgesteld als een onheilspellend voorteken van wat ons te wachten staat als fossiele brandstoffen niet worden afgeschaft.
