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.

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.

Lelijke waarheid over energietransitie niet lang meer te verhullen
De pogingen om de lelijke waarheid over de energietransitie te verhullen worden steeds krampachtiger en doorzichtiger, vindt Maarten van Andel. “Steeds meer mensen worden daar achterdochtig van.

De geschiedenis leert dat een dergelijke kloof uiteindelijk niet kan blijven bestaan.”
