Basic Geology Part 2 - CO2 in the Atmosphere and Ocean « Watts Up With That?

[Steven Goddard] This week is National Engineering Week in the US, when elementary school children are encouraged to learn math and science. Don’t they deserve and need accurate information? Are Laurie David’s book and Al Gore’s movie acceptable in a science classroom?
Whether or not you believe that the burning of fossil fuels significantly affects the earth’s temperature, the ice core data offers no evidence to support that - no matter how big the graph is.

Dash for wind is no more than a gravy train bubble (From Hereford Times)

Analysis of latest government statistics indicates that the contribution of wind-energy is being greatly overestimated. Official figures show no evidence of any contribution from UK wind-farms to a reduction in CO2 emissions from 2002 to 2007 when most of the UK’s wind-farms were developed. In fact CO2 emissions from electricity generation rose by 10.5 per cent. Most of this (6.4 per cent) was due to reduced efficiency in generation caused at least in part by the difficulties of assimilating a rapidly fluctuating energy source into the national grid. In addition, the statistics give no evidence of a worthwhile contribution to electricity supply.

The dash for wind has nothing to do with green energy. It is another gravy-train bubble like the one which led to the banking crisis and is being driven by greed for power and money amongst landowners, industrialists and politicians. And when investors begin to realise that they have been taken for a ride, who will clear up the mess that’s been created in our countryside?
