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 strijd tegen LCOE: wind- en zonne-energie zijn NOOIT de goedkoopste energiebronnen geweest
Veel organisaties erkennen inmiddels dat het opwekken van elektriciteit niet hetzelfde is als het opzetten van een betaalbaar en betrouwbaar elektriciteitsnet. Isaac Orr en Mitch Rolling leggen uit dat dit een erkenning is dat wind- en zonne-energie nooit de goedkoopste energiebronnen zijn geweest — de verborgen kosten werden simpelweg genegeerd door gebruik te maken van de zogenoemde LCOE-maatstaf.
Een goed artikel over de AMOC, net op tijd voor El Niño
El Niño komt eraan, de temperaturen zullen omhoogschieten, en de berichten over de AMOC (Golfstroom) die bijna gaat instorten, zullen ook omhoogschieten, zegt Charles Rotter. Maar zelfs Science concludeerde onlangs dat deze “vitale circulatie in de Atlantische Oceaan de klimaatopwarming wellicht beter weerstaat dan gevreesd”.
Kernenergie: Er gaat niets boven Groningen, zelfs Den Haag niet
Volgens Tennet is de Eemshaven technisch en financieel de meest logische plek voor twee nieuwe kerncentrales. Maar dat zal niet zonder slag of stoot gebeuren, legt Jan van Friesland uit. “Provincies en gemeenten beschikken weliswaar niet over het laatste juridische woord, maar kunnen via ruimtelijke ordening, vergunningverlening en politieke druk de uitvoering effectief vertragen of blokkeren.”
