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.

‘Hernieuwbare energie’ is niet hernieuwbaar
Terwijl politici en media oproepen om de energietransitie te versnellen vanwege de huidige energiecrisis en geopolitieke spanningen, plaatst Roger Pielke Jr. kanttekeningen bij het dominante verhaal over ‘hernieuwbare energie’. De basis van wind-, zonne-energie en batterijen is namelijk fossiele brandstoffen. Volgens Pielke blijven deze technologieën sterk afhankelijk van fossiele energie en zware industrie — een inzicht dat van belang is voor het debat over realistisch energiebeleid.
Er ligt een enorme hoeveelheid energie in de Nederlandse ondergrond
We moeten zorgen voor voldoende betaalbare energie in allerlei vormen, vindt Rob de Vos. Dit kan onder meer door reactivatie van het Groninger aardgasveld. In Vlaanderen is men serieus aan het kijken of sommige recent gesloten mijnen niet heropend kunnen worden met behulp van nieuwe schachten. In Nederland is schachtbouw mogelijk in Zuid-Limburg, maar ook op de Peelhorst en in het Meinweggebied. Waarom niet eigenlijk?
China vergroot productie van brandstoffen uit steenkool
In dit artikel analyseert de Australische wetenschapsjournalist Jo Nova de snelle opkomst van China’s steenkool-naar-chemicaliën- en brandstoffenindustrie. Terwijl veel westerse landen inzetten op het uitfaseren van fossiele energie, bouwt China in stilte aan een grootschalige industrie die steenkool omzet in brandstoffen, kunststoffen en meststoffen. Dat roept fundamentele vragen op over energiezekerheid en het mondiale klimaatbeleid.
