BIG COAL ---- CO2 TO DOUBLE IN ASIA

Figure 1. U.S.A. BY FAR HAS THE LARGEST RESERVES. 50% OF POWER GENERATION IS FROM COAL. GROWTH WILL CONTINUE. DEMOCRATS MAY SPEED UP THE MOVE TO CLEANER COAL.

FIGURE 2. U.S.A. AND CHINA WILL REMAIN THE DOMINATE PRODUCERS. THEY WILL NOT LOOK TO EUROPE FOR THEIR SCIENCE OR LEADERSHIP.

FIFURE 3. FUMES FROM ASIA ARE PROJECTED TO DOUBLE BY 2030. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE TO CLEANER COAL PRESSURED BY THEIR KILLER SMOGS.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A ROCKET SCIENTIST TO READ THIS DATA OR THAT OF WILLIE SOON 2005 AND BERNER 2002 (see above). SUNSPOT ACTIVITY AND SOLAR IRRADIANCE DRIVE THE TEMPERATURE ON EARTH.

SUNSPOT ACTIVITY WAS HIGH IN THE MEDIVAL WARM PERIOD WHEN ICELAND, NEW ZEALAND AND HAWAII WERE COLONIZED.

SUNSPOTS QUIT FOR 50 YEARS IN THE 1600'S, AND SOLAR ACTIVITY WAS AT A 5,000 YEAR LOW! AND WORLD WENT INTO THE DEEP FREEZE OF THE LITTLE ICE AGE!

NOW ONCE AGAIN SUNSPOTS ARE AT 400/1000/4000 YEAR HIGH AND THE WORLD HAS HEATED UP AGAIN AND ARE NOW AT THE SAME LEVEL AS THE MEDIVAL WARM PERIOD.

IN ADDITION, I SEE THE CATASTROPHIC MELTING OF THE ARCTIC ICE IN THE LAST 4O YEARS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE HAVE BURNT HOLES IN THE OZONE LAYER, ALLOWING ADDITIONAL RADIATION TO REACH THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH.

I CONCLUDE THAT MAN'S DESCRATION OF THE ATMOSPHERE IS A COINCIDENT, UNRELATED EVENT WITH LITTLE EFFECT ON GLOBAL WARMING! THE FACT THAT THIS POLLUTION IS ESTIMATED TO KILL 3,000,000 A YEAR DEMANDS THAT WE CLEAN UP THE MESS.

CLIMATE CHANGE --- SHORT TERM OBSERVATIONS

Source of Figures: Berner, U. 2002. Klimafakten. bcr Geozentum Hanover.

Figure One: Shows the close tie between sunspots and temperature with clouds acting as the interface between solar irradiance and the atmosphere of the earth.

Figure Two: Again shows the close tie between sunspots and temperature with carbon dioxide following.

The obvious observations are that the past interaction between the sun and the earth remains in tack.

It also implys that some of the recent rise in greenhouse gases has been the result of solar heating.

It is also noted that these observations are in harmony with Willie Soon(see below)
who concludes that all of the "SURFACE ARCTIC TEMPERATURE" for the last 130 years can be attrbuted to solar irradiance.

THE CAUTION REMAINS THAT MUCH OF THE CURRENT GLOBAL WARMING IS DUE TO THE 400/1000/4000 YEAR HIGH IN SUNSPOT ACTIBITY. IF THIS IS SO THE EFFORT TO CONTROL CLIMATE BY REDUCING CO2 EMMISIONs WILL NOT WORK.

ACTION -- THERE ARE TWO REASONS WHY WE SHOULD MOVE TO REDUCE OUR CONSUMPTION OF FOSSIL FUELS. FIRST THE FUMES ARE KILLING US. AND SECOND THE RESOURCES WILL NOT LAST FOREVER. IN THE MEANTIME WE SHOULD INCREASE OUR EFFORTS TO CLEAN UP THE AIR.

CLIMATE CHANGE --- LONG TERM DRIVERS

OVER THE LIFE OF THE EARTH, WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, SOLAR FORCES HAVE DRIVEN THE CLIMATE. Figure One. THE SUN THE SOURCE OF ALL LIFE.

These are cosmic flux from the galaxy --- Solar irradiance and sunsunspots from the sun.--- and viarances in the earth orbit relative to the sun, Milankovitch Cycles

Figure 2 -- Milankovitch Cycles
Eccentricity Cycle --- 100,000 years.
Obliquity Cycle --- 41,000 years.
Pression of the the Equinoxes --- 19 t0 23,000 years.

Figure 3 The solar drivers force the rise and fall in the earth's temperature.
Down into ice ages. Up heating the oceans, the main mass of the biosphere, and with a time lag of a few centuries explosive increases in carbon dioxide, the benign food of plant life, and methane the product of biosphere decay.

THESE SOLAR DRIVERS ARE STILL VERY MUCH IN PLAY TO DAY AND MUST BE INCLUDED IN ANY EXPLAINATION AND MODELS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

CLIMATE CHANGE ------ The Stern Report -------- AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CANADA

THIS REPORT, PRODUCED BY THE TONY BLAIR'S GOVERNMENT, AND ENTHUSIASTICALLY ENDORSED BY TONY AS THE WAY TO GO FORWARD,IS AN ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF THE COST OF CLIMATE CHANGE BUILT UPON A SCIENTIFIC MODEL OF THE IMPENDING DISASTER.

THE AUTHOR IS SIR NICHOLAS STERN FORMER CHIEF ECONOMIST OF THE WORLD BANK.

THE REPORT IS RELEASED AT THIS TIME TO GET MAXIMUN WORLD IMPACT BEFORE THE NAIROBI MEETING NEXT WEEK

CRITICS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE OCEAN FIND THE UNDERLYING SCIENCE IS FLAWED,ON THREE COUNTS: FIRST IT IGNORES THE FACT THAT SOLAR FORCES ARE THE MAJOR DRIVER OF CLIMATE. SECOND ALTHOUGH IT CONCEEDS THAT THE CHEMISTRY OF CO2 IN THE ATMOSPHERE, IS HIGHLY COMLPEX IT DOES LITTLE TO ADDRESS IT. THREE IT PUSHES ASIDE THE REALITY THAT MANKIND HAS LOADED THE ATMOSPHERE WITH A SWARM OF NEW POLLUTENTS AND POISIONS THAT ARE KILLING PEOPLE AND INTERACTING WITH CO2.

THE AMERICANS HAVE DOCUMENTED THEIR CRITICISMS, SEE BELOW: WILLIE SOON AND
AND http://www.junkscience.com/Greenhouse/ IF WE IN THE WEST CANNOT AGREE ON THE SCIENCE WE CANNOT EXPECT THE NATIONS OF THE EAST TO GIVE US ANY RESPECT.

THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CANADA TO DO SOME GOOD SCIENCE AND BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN THE U.K AND THE U.S.A SO THAT THE WORLD CAN MOVE FORWARD AND ADDRESS THE PROBLEM OF CLEANING UP OUR ATMOSPHERE. IF WE SUCCEED TO GET THE POLAR OPPOSITE VIEWS HARMONIZED WE WILL BE DOING A GREAT SERVICE TO THE WORLD AND OURSELVES.

THE SECOND PROBLEM WITH THE REPORT IS THAT ITS PRIMARY WAY TO CURE THE PROBLEM IS TO BUILD A GLOBAL NETWORK OF TRADING CARBON (AND POLLUTION ) CREDITS.

THIS IS GREAT IN THEORY BUT UNACCEPTABLE TO THE ASIA PACIFIC GROUP WHO ARE GOING FORWARD WITH MASSIVE INCREASES IN THEIR ENERGY BASE. THESE REVITALIZED NATIONS RESENT EUROPEANS TRYING TO DICTATE HOW TO GO FORWARD. IN PARTICULAR A PLAN ENDORSED BY TONY BLAIR, WHOSE IS LEAVING THE POLITICAL SCENE SADDLED WITH HIS CALOSSAL FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND THE MIDDLE EAST.
