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 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.
Wie is schuldig aan het overvolle elektriciteitsnet?
De stroomuitval in en rond Tilburg heeft de discussie over de oorzaken van netcongestie opnieuw aangewakkerd. In onderstaand artikel gaat Rob de Vos in op de vraag waardoor het Nederlandse elektriciteitsnet overbelast raakt. Aan de hand van openbare cijfers bespreekt hij de ontwikkeling van het elektriciteitsverbruik en de elektriciteitsproductie.
Europa’s echte crisis is energiearmoede, niet een hittegolf
Terwijl Europa opnieuw een zomerse hittegolf beleeft, krijgt klimaatverandering wederom de schuld van de extreme temperaturen. In dit artikel betoogt Vijay Jayaraj dat de werkelijke crisis niet de hitte is, maar de energiearmoede die voortvloeit uit verkeerd klimaatbeleid. Hij legt uit hoe een natuurlijk weerpatroon, het zogenoemde Omega Block, de recente hittegolf veroorzaakte en waarom betaalbare, betrouwbare energie de meest effectieve bescherming blijft tegen extreem weer.
