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.

Nicola Scafetta in de podcast van Tom Nelson: de beperkingen van mondiale klimaatmodellen
Nicola Scafetta sprak onlangs in de podcast van Tom Nelson over zijn nieuwe boek Frontiers of Climate Science: Solar Variability, Cycles and Model Uncertainty. Het boek is een poging om een bredere discussie op gang te brengen over de onzekerheden die nog steeds bestaan in de klimaatwetenschap en de beperkingen van de huidige mondiale klimaatmodellen.
Stroomnet overvol: volgens Indepen vergroot overheidsbeleid de problemen
Het uitschakelen van delen van het stroomnet rond Tilburg maakte onlangs pijnlijk duidelijk hoe kwetsbaar het Nederlandse elektriciteitsnet is geworden. Clintel liet eerder al zien dat de veelgehoorde verklaring van een sterk stijgende stroomvraag volgens de beschikbare cijfers tekortschiet. In onderstaand opiniestuk betoogt David van Diemen (Indepen) dat juist het gevoerde energiebeleid de problemen op het elektriciteitsnet veroorzaakt. Daarnaast waarschuwt hij dat de voorgenomen elektrificatie van het leasewagenpark vanaf 2027 de druk op het stroomnet verder zal vergroten.
De pseudowetenschap achter extreme weersattributie
Extreme weersattributie probeert vast te stellen in welke mate door de mens veroorzaakte klimaatverandering invloed heeft gehad op afzonderlijke gebeurtenissen zoals orkanen, overstromingen en hittegolven. In dit artikel onderzoekt Ralph B. Alexander de wetenschappelijke methoden achter deze studies en stelt hij de vraag of hun conclusies wel voldoende worden ondersteund door betrouwbaar bewijs.
