But when that “fiction” means the massive redirection of limited wealth to projects that won’t help then the fiction becomes detrimental. Instead of trying to head off global warming to save the million lives that it might cost the world (especially if it is a fiction) for far less money we could supply AIDS medecine or malaria nets to far more people and therefore save more lives. By inappropriately using resources to “save the world” we are hurting the use of those resources to actually save the world.

It really isn’t logic that is needed in the debate. If you talk to most people, they will say something like the following (and this applies to the supposed harms of cigarettes as well): “Oh, I know the science is exagerrated…but if it makes the Earth a little cleaner, I’m not against it….” And this is a logical conclusion, given that people adhere to the idea of “useful fictions.” Just as it is good to make a child think that monsters live in the irrigation ditch up on the hill – to scare them away and keep them from possibly falling in and drowning – so it is good to make the public think that overindulgence harms the planet. This is all very logical, especially when you come to the table with the assumption that people are at bottom very foolish. But at the end of the day, the people see through it, and go along with the charade, just as they’d go along with their children on Christmas. My assertion is that logic is not enough – we need a thirst for truth. A ’scientific conversation about the issues’ is also not enough – it won’t happen unless people care enough to find the truth.

Well, at least Gore is right regarding climate change, right? Or is he wrong? He says it was man-made, not simply earth’s ordinary cycle over thousands of years. Ya think?

This is very interesting. I don't believe we will be able to rely on fossil fuels for much longer. Check out my blog about Solar power, I write about things like this in depth.

It would be wonderful if the world could change to Alternative Energy. I recently heard about a magnet powered generator that produces enough energy to run the appliances in the average Four person home. Although I am unsure of how real this is, the idea behind it could lead to some great products that could be better than wind and solar energy combined.

Comment on Nuclear war would cause more global warming by Anoymous

Anoymous — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 07:25:38 +0000

A research, based on findings from historic volcano eruptions, found that a nuclear war could produce millions of tons of “soot” particles that could block solar radiation, in effect, cooling the planet. They examined the climatic effects of the smoke produced in a conflict in the subtropics between two opposing nations, each using 50 Hiroshima-size nuclear weapons to attack the other’s most populated urban areas. A cooling of several degrees would occur over large areas of North America and Eurasia, including most of the grain-growing regions. As in the case with earlier nuclear winter calculations, large climatic effects would occur in regions far removed from the target areas or the countries involved in the conflict.” They say the global impact of nuclear would be akin to climate disruptions caused by volcanic eruptions which cool the planet by releasing tons of particulate matter into the atmosphere. They cite the 1815 eruption of Tambora in Indonesia as an example. The 1815 eruption of Tambora in Indonesia — the largest in the last 500 years — was followed by killing frosts throughout New England in 1816, during what has become known as ‘the year without a summer. The weather in Europe was reported to be so cold and wet that the harvest failed and people starved. This historical event perhaps foreshadows the kind of climate disruptions that would follow a regional nuclear conflict. With the exchange of 100 15-kiloton weapons as posed in this scenario, the estimated quantities of smoke generated could lead to global climate anomalies exceeding any changes experienced in recorded history. And that’s just 0.03 percent of the total explosive power of the current world nuclear arsenal. The climate effects of particulate matter are of increasing interest to climate scientists. Some researchers have postulated that a similar release of sulfate aerosols into the atmosphere could be used in a worst-case scenario to block global warming. However no one is advocating nuclear war as a practical solution to global warming. The study projects fatalities of 2.6 million to 16.7 million per country in a small-scale, regional nuclear war. Considering the relatively small number and size of the weapons, the effects are surprisingly large. The potential devastation would be catastrophic and long term.
