COUNTRIES
Photo: Map of the world and where most of the people live
The blue circle contains as much population as the rest of the world. People chose to live in the warmer part, not the colder part. A little bit of natural warming will be beneficial. There is no reason to abandon fossil fuels because of a little warming from any cause.
Summary of Section - COUNTRIES:
There are significant differences in how countries deal with real climate change, supposed man-made global warming and sea level rise, and the way they set energy policies for use of fossil fuels, nuclear power, wind, and solar.
A lot of destructive policies are set by powerful and affluent countries in the free world. The rich are getting richer and many of the poor are still poor.
Countries in Europe and North America are creating senseless, dangerous policies for themselves and the rest of the world. This section covers the policies of countries in North America, Europe and the rest of the world.
The BRICS countries aren’t going along with destructive energy policies of North America and Europe. They are sticking with fossil fuels and nuclear power. This should make them the more powerful economic regions in a few decades.

In Democracies, the majority frequently controls the government, even if they have fooled the voters and plan to destroy their own country. That is exactly what the Founders of the United States were afraid of and what the anti-fossil fuel, anti-nuclear power alarmist politicians are doing. People who vote for politicians who claim CO2 is a pollutant assure everyone that they are doing what is best for the country.
The grades given to each country, organization, and individual are:
⤊ - An up arrow suggests that a country, organization or individual is following the Scientific Method which says that if data disagrees with a theory, the theory is wrong.
⤋ - A down arrow suggests that they are not following the Scientific Method for climate science and energy planning. Instead, they have hidden agendas.
⤊ and ⤋ - means that they are doing some of both.
Organizations who are not following the Scientific Method on climate and energy planning frequently come from another country and get away with terrorizing local people. See countries in Africa.
⤊⤋ ARGENTINA
⤊ Climate
People in Argentina appreciate carbon dioxide as the molecule of life for plants, ranching, vineyards, and marine and bird wildlife. The foods and wines of Argentina are to enjoy. Their diversity of birds, and marine life are a world treasure.
⤊ Fossil fuels and wind energy
In 2016, Argentina was the largest dry gas producer and the fourth-largest petroleum and other liquids producer in South America.
There is plenty of wind in Patagonia. But it is far from cities and industry. Few people live in open, windy, treeless regions like Patagonia, Argentina or Wyoming, USA

Argentina has three nuclear reactors generating about 7% of its electricity. Another reactor is to be built by China. They have good nuclear medicine.
⤊⤋ AUSTRALIA
⤊⤋ Climate
⤊ Many Australian organizations and individuals teach the public that carbon dioxide is the molecule of life.
⤋ Other organizations and politicians sound false alarms about carbon dioxide being a pollutant that causes catastrophic global warming and sea level rise.
⤋ Climate Action Tracker - Australia
⤊⤋ Fossil fuels
⤊ Many organizations and individuals in Australia teach the public about the benefits of fossil fuels. Modern Australia was made entirely with fossil fuels - not solar panels, wind turbines, nor lithium batteries.
⤋ Australian politicians are determined to stop using fossil fuels, like similar politicians in Canada, France, Germany, the UK, and the USA.
See articles from Australia here.
⤊⤋ Nuclear
⤊ Many Australian organizations and individuals use nuclear medicine and support nuclear power.
⤋ Other organizations are against nuclear power or promote it as the solution to catastrophic man-made global warming, which is false. The climate will change the same if the world is only using nuclear power or it is exclusively using fossil fuels.
There are good reasons why it will take nuclear power a long time to be close to 100% of the world’s electrical energy source. Nuclear advocates must begin to teach reality instead of dreaming that nuclear power can “save the world from catastrophic
Main Report Part 1 - Countries and Organizations Part 2 - Individuals 11
man-made global warming.”
1) Nuclear power is mainly used to generate electricity, not for the other uses of fossil fuels. If the world were only using nuclear power to generate electricity, the world would still be using fossil fuels or synthetic hydrocarbons for everything else. That would not save the world from supposed man-made global warming and catastrophic sea level rise. But climate change from the use of fossil fuels is not happening for clear scientific reasons. CO2 is the molecule of life, not a global warming pollutant.
2) It will take a very long time, far more than 50 or 100 years for the world to be 100% on nuclear power for electricity. Nuclear power will not save the world from so-called catastrophic climate change crises. The alarms against fossil fuels are false!
3) Nuclear power will not be used in countries with an uneducated workforce and poor road and rail networks. They will rely on fossil fuels for electricity for the time being.

⤊⤋ BRAZIL
⤊ Climate
In April 2022, the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication found a strong consensus on climate change in Brazil: 96% of Brazilians said climate change is happening and 77% identified human activity as its primary cause. By contrast, in their fall 2021 survey in the U.S., fewer Americans said global warming is happening (76%), is human-caused (60%), or that most scientists agree (59%).
These results gathered by Yale University may be more of a statement about Yale than about Brazilian thinking about man-made global warming.
⤊ Fossil fuels
Brazil’s long-term energy plans see an expanded role for fossil gas and oil, with the production of both types of fossil fuel set to increase in the coming decade. Investment in the exploration and production of fossil fuels could reach over USD 500bn over the same period. Unless additional policies are put in place, emissions in the energy sector
Main Report Part 1 - Countries and Organizations Part 2 - Individuals 12
will resume a rising trend as Brazil’s economy recovers from the impacts of COVID-19, locking Brazil into a more carbon intensive energy system and leaving much of its potential for renewable power generation untapped.
Brazil is in the group of countries: BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa). For the most part, they are not worried about CO2 from fossil fuels causing catastrophic global warming.
⤊ Nuclear
Brazil has been one of the leading suppliers of nuclear minerals since the dawn of the atomic age. Since the late 1940s, Brazilian authorities have invested in nuclear development to achieve energy autonomy instead of just being a supplier of nuclear minerals. The country has the technology and knowledge to engage in all the steps of the nuclear fuel cycle. The Brazilian nuclear program includes uranium mining and milling, uranium conversion and enrichment, and nuclear energy production.
BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) with Saudi Arabia possibly joining in the future would be a formidable alternative to the dominance exercised by the United States and Europe as a reference currency and economic block.

⤊ Energy
Finland has diverse energy sources: wood, peat, hydro, oil, gas, coal, and nuclear. Because of climate conditions and availability of conventional energy sources, they use practically no wind and solar energy. They have no intention of significantly reducing production of carbon dioxide.
⤊ Government and voters
The public and government are much more realistic than most of the rest of Europe, Canada, and the United States regarding man-made global warming alarmism, abandoning fossil fuels, and switching to wind and solar.
⤊⤋ FRANCE
⤋ Overall
In the 1970s and 80s, France developed an excellent national program for nuclear power. France lost focus on nuclear power excellence. Capacity factors are dropping.
Politicians in the 2010s and 2022s foolishly promoted wind and solar projects over nuclear power. France has long periods of cloud cover and calm weather.
The brilliant energy planning of the 20th century in France is changing to foolishness that will weaken the economy. C’est la vie!

⤊ Climate
Most Italians do not think climate change is an issue. There are two parallel worlds in Italy: real people on one side and media and politicians on the other. This is proven by the fact that for the last 15 years or so Italians have voted no Green Party representative in the Italian Parliament or Senate and in the EU parliament. In the 2022 elections the Greens collected less than 2% of the vote. Yet, there is a narrative within the media and among politicians which is in line with the Greens’ narrative.

⤊ Fossil fuels
Most Italians have nothing against fossil fuels. [The rest of this message is the same as the message for “Climate.”]
⤊ Nuclear
December 30, 2022: The Berliner Morgenpost reports on Italy's plans to return to nuclear energy.
“So while Germany is phasing out the use of nuclear energy, the technology is making a comeback in Italy, where it was phased out almost 40 years ago. This is more than noteworthy, since Italy is the only major European country, along with Germany, to have stopped using nuclear energy. Under the pressure of the energy crisis, however, the Italians suddenly became painfully aware of their heavy dependence on electricity from abroad. The topic moves the citizens because they are clearly feeling the increase in their electricity bills despite government support.”
In 1987 and in 2011 there occurred two referendums in Italy. They were not pro/against nuclear energy because this kind of referendum is forbidden by the Italian Constitution. According to which referendums to cancel international laws are forbidden, and Italy, having subscribed to EURATOM agreements, has committed itself to develop a strong electro-nuclear industry. The 1987 and 2011 referendums were asking questions that have been politically interpreted as pro/against nuclear. Besides, they occurred under the emotional pressure of Chernobyl (1986) and

Fukushima (2011). Finally, the participation in those referendums has been less than 60%: the truth is that less than 1/3 of the Italian population is against nuclear power. As for climate and fossil fuels, there are two parallel worlds in Italy: real people on one side and media and politicians on the other side. Italy has abandoned nuclear power but in fact it is an imported good: for several decades Italy has been importing 15% of its electricity needs from EDF.

For thousands of years, people migrated between Africa, Europe and Asia passing through what is now Jordan. Today, countries bordering Jordan are involved in internal wars and the threat of regional war, “That’s the Middle East!!!” Jordan is a temporary home to several million war refugees.
It has limited fossil fuels and very limited water.
In spite of these challenges, it has a trained technical work force and maintains good relations with Israel.

Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry who attended the announcement at COP 27 said:
“The release of South Africa’s Investment Plan is a major step forward on the South Africa JETP. As we move into a new phase, success will be defined by capital deployment and realization of critical clean energy investments. To that end, we will use innovative strategies to crowd in private sector financing, including by leveraging public and philanthropic capital. This work – and making sure that it is a model for other coal-intensive economies around the world – is absolutely critical to averting catastrophic climate change. Failure is not an option.”
Despite the fact that all of Africa has contributed a miniscule portion of global carbon emissions, Hlubi-Majola asked, why are countries on the continent “racing to implement a transition which we know objectively is very disruptive and will result in more poverty and unemployment. Why are we doing more than those who are actually responsible for this climate crisis?” Especially when there is no plan in place to mitigate the effects of the JETP deal on local communities.

That would destroy the modern world. Fossil fuels or synthetic hydro-carbon fuels made with energy from nuclear power will probably be used forever in transportation, agriculture, mining, space heating, and manufacturing.
Climate Action Tracker - Switzerland
⤊⤋ Fossil fuels
Petroleum and natural gas provide about 49% of total energy in Switzerland.
Use of fossil fuels is for cars, trucks, space heating, cooking, tourist boats, barges bringing raw materials from the Netherlands, and needs of industry.
It is impossible to replace fossil fuels for these uses in most cases.
Hydro-electric and nuclear power typically produces more than enough power for the Swiss in the summer. But they are forced to turn to energy imports from other countries to meet the gap when the cold sets in.
Because of poor energy planning in other European Union countries and the war in the Ukraine, Switzerland is experiencing crises with natural gas.
⤊ Nuclear
Switzerland has an excellent nuclear power program just like their having excellent roads, railroads, tunnels, bridges, buildings, water, and wastewater systems.
Swiss engineers have been active in nuclear power since the 1950s.
The relationship between regulators, power plant owners, operators, and support industry is among the best in the world.
Some Swiss scientists are convinced that fossil fuels cause serious global warming. Utilities have to go along with the CO2 alarms to get public support for nuclear power.
Switzerland studied deep storage for used nuclear fuel. Only about 1% of the potential energy in the ore has been used. The rest is still in the used fuel and uranium left from

The country is fortunate to have so many sources of fossil fuels. Companies and universities excel in research for new technologies and by-products.
⤋ The political party sounding climate change alarms is working to reduce use of fossil fuels, even leave it in the ground. About 80% of America’s energy comes from fossil fuels. Cutting back on fossil fuels will have very serious negative effects on everyone and the economy. Try cutting back on shopping and shuttling children to school and sports events.
⤊⤋ Nuclear
⤊ The United States had an excellent nuclear power program for current technology, advanced technology nuclear power, and several technologies of recycling nuclear fuel from the 1950s through the 1990s. The operation and maintenance of American nuclear power plants is among the best in the world.
⤋ The American government stopped development of advanced nuclear power technologies in the 1970s and into the 1990s. This happened with advice from John Holdren, Frank von Hippel, and Thomas Cochran. The US is on a fool’s errand to impose wind and solar, and abandon fossil fuels and advanced nuclear power.

Summary of Section - ORGANIZATIONS:
There are many organizations that support carbon dioxide as the molecule of life, and fossil fuels and nuclear power as essential for the modern world.
Some nuclear power organizations regrettably preach that coal, oil, and natural gas are causing catastrophic man-made global warming and man-made sea level rise. They claim that nuclear power can solve those problems. These nuclear organizations and advocates have nothing to stand on. The presence or lack thereof for nuclear power has close to zero effect on climate and climate change. The support for man-made global warming alarmism is a problem for advancing the cause of nuclear power and an embarrassment for other nuclear professionals. Furthermore, expansion of use of nuclear power worldwide will take a lot longer than all of the

figurative man-made global warming tipping points the alarmists are referring to. It is all a charade of alarmism.
Coal, oil, and natural gas produce carbon dioxide that is the same chemical molecule that nature produces. Levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide are far below historic levels when life came into existence and flourished. The amount of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels will not cause catastrophic climate change. Alarmists have proven nothing, just sounded the alarms. Carbon dioxide is not a significant factor in real climate change.
Electricity is just one part of fossil fuel energy usage. Nuclear power is one part of electrical energy usage. It will take much longer than nuclear advocates claim to have all the world on nuclear power. Fossil fuels will continue to be used for most of the rest of the energy needs. Wind and solar are bit players and bad ones at that.
There are a lot of very good organizations explaining carbon dioxide, climate change and the benefits of fossil fuels and nuclear power. The general public doesn’t know many of them. We will help solve this problem.
There are a lot of very bad organizations determined to stop use of fossil fuels and nuclear power. We will see that they are held accountable.

Even after decades of extensive government subsidy, the cost of nuclear power remains dauntingly high, in part because the potential of a catastrophic accident requires the commitment to truly massive building projects. The cost of wind and especially sun are decreasing on an almost daily basis: solar panels down 75% in the last seven years. Meanwhile, the costs of nuclear power just keep rising, and its problems mirror those of fossil fuels: extractive mining, waste management issues, and a centralization of power. Conservation and renewables continue to be a far preferable strategy to addressing the climate crisis.

The content on ANS related websites illustrates that the ANS and most other professional nuclear organizations proclaim or infer that nuclear power can help solve a so-called man-made global warming catastrophe.
Carbon dioxide is the molecule of life, not a catastrophic global warming molecule.
Nuclear power organizations should stick to removing roadblocks anti-nuclear activists and their politicians have placed in front of them so progress can be made.
Claiming that nuclear power can help solve a supposed man-made global warming catastrophe is scientifically and technically wrong, with an unrealistic schedule.
If the ANS is an organization that follows the Scientific Method about atmospheric carbon dioxide, knows the realistic schedule for worldwide expansion of nuclear power, and knows how much energy from fossil fuels will still be used after 100% nuclear power implementation a long time in the future, then the ANS would not be claiming that nuclear power can do anything about supposed man-made global warming from use of fossil fuels.

Rod Adams is the host of Atomic Insights. He has a lifetime of experience working with many kinds of nuclear power technologies. Here is a list of the content on Atomic Insights. Lots of good technical information for the layperson and good discussions.
Sometimes this website “gets tangled in the weeds” focusing on reducing use of fossil fuels, man-made global warming alarmism, and settling scores between advocates of fossil fuels and nuclear power. They invoke the “Precautionary Principle” to encourage replacing fossil fuels with nuclear power for generating electricity. Even if that were a good idea, it is going to take much longer than nuclear professionals and advocates claim for most of the world to be exclusively using nuclear power. And that is just for producing electricity. Fossil fuels or their synthetic hydrocarbon equivalents in the future will still be used for many applications including: transportation, agriculture, space heating, manufacturing, and mining.
Pro nuclear energy advocates are offbase claiming that nuclear power can/will control climate change. That weakens their credibility in promoting nuclear power.
Nuclear power will be the energy savior for the future of the world when they get their act together and fight the best fight.
It would be better if all nuclear power advocates did not delve into detracting from the importance of fossil fuels and promoting man-made global warming alarmism.

China, India, and Russia are moving ahead with fossil fuels and nuclear power. China and Russia will build new nuclear plants wherever money is available and anti-nuclear activists can not interfere.
It is going to take well more than a century for most of the world to be producing electricity with nuclear power. That is reality, not imaginary optimism. And that is only a fraction of the uses of fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels will be around as long as supplies are economically available. Then, synthetic gas and liquid hydrocarbon fuels made with energy from nuclear power will replace them. That is another inevitability.
The world does not need to be saved from hydrocarbon fuels.

⤊⤋ BREAKTHROUGH ENERGY
⤋ Introduction
Breakthrough Energy is the umbrella name of several organizations, founded by Bill Gates in 2015, that aim to accelerate innovation in sustainable energy and in other technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wikipedia
Breakthrough Energy’s aim is to inspire the world to develop and scale the critical solutions we need to reach net-zero emissions.
⤋ Approach
Letting Science Lead the Way
Getting to zero by 2050 might be the most difficult challenge humanity has ever had.
That’s because nearly everything we do in our daily lives contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, from how we plug in to how we grow things, make things, get around, and stay cool and warm.
[Bill Gates does not let the Scientific Method lead the way when it comes to real climate change. He chooses the scientists he wants to quote and lets them lead to the conclusions he prefers. These scientists have been wrong for over forty years. The consequences are tremendous errors understanding climate science and very costly errors in technology development. But if you have lots of money to throw away, none of this matters. - John Shanahan]

Getting to Zero
Every year, the world emits 51 billion tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. To prevent a climate disaster, we need to lower that number to zero by 2050, and we need to act now to do it.

⤊⤋
About
The Breakthrough Institute is a global research center that identifies and promotes technological solutions to environmental and human development challenges.
Breakthrough’s vision is of a world that is good for both people and nature.
We believe that human prosperity and an ecologically vibrant planet are possible at the same time. Societies are already experiencing peak use of many natural resources; some previously destroyed forests are returning as we use less land to farm more food; our energy sources are becoming denser and cleaner; and pollution including carbon emissions is falling in most post-industrial nations.
[NOTE: It is good to have many of the goals and vision of The Breakthrough Institute. But, like many similar organizations, this organization considers carbon dioxide from fossil fuels “pollution.” That infers catastrophic man-made global warming. All science that follows the Scientific Method explains how atmospheric carbon dioxide is the molecule of life. It is essential for all life in oceans, lakes, rivers, all life on land and in the soil, and all life in the air!! Is atmospheric carbon dioxide A POLLUTANT? By objective evaluation, atmospheric carbon dioxide is NOT A POLLUTANT!

A Socially Sustainable Future for Nuclear Energy in Emerging Markets
The Future of Nuclear Energy Comes Down to the Fuel
There is a growing expert consensus that scaling up nuclear energy is a promising path to creating a global energy system that supports high universal living standards and yields meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. This is especially critical in emerging markets, where almost all (about 95 percent) of the increase in the world’s energy demand through 2035 will originate.
[NOTE: Many advocate for nuclear power make the same claims as above. They say that nuclear power can be implemented relatively quickly worldwide, including emerging markets. They say that because nuclear power produces less carbon dioxide that it will lessen man-made global warming. John Shanahan and many others explain
Main Report Part 1 - Countries and Organizations Part 2 - Individuals 61
that these two claims are not accurate. They say that it is going to take a long time for the world, and especially emerging markets to produce all of their electricity using nuclear power. Maybe several hundred years. And that is just a fraction of the energy used in every country. The rest of the energy will come from fossil fuels or synthetic hydrocarbon fuels. Not wind, solar, hydrogen, biomass, or geothermal.
Promote nuclear power as quickly as it can be safely implemented, supported with operation and maintenance staff, local industry, and regulatory oversight. That is expected to take several hundred years. It is not good to claim that it can be implemented worldwide, 100% in fifty or one hundred years, or that it can “save” the world from catastrophic man-made global warming from use of fossil fuels. Many nuclear professionals disagree with John Shanahan. They say that nuclear power can be implemented worldwide 100% in fifty, max one hundred years. History will be the witness to actual progress.]

IT’S A BALANCING ACT.
We need to acknowledge our challenges but we must focus on our solutions. We need to be as aware of what we are gaining as what we are losing so we know what to fight for, not just what to fight against. We have to stop going negative all day long.
As far as we know, on average there has never been a better time to be born than now.
We are living longer.
We have eliminated horrible diseases and we are still winning those fights. We are growing more food on less land. Violence is decreasing. The world is more literate and more educated.
A smaller share of humanity lives in poverty and more people are living lives of independence and opportunity. Many of these achievements have come at a cost to our natural world. But now we are beginning to see a return of nature, the expansion of forests and the return of wild
Main Report Part 1 - Countries and Organizations Part 2 - Individuals 64
creatures in places they have not been seen in decades.
But not everywhere. We continue to lose wild nature as we encroach on other species and their habitat.
So our challenge is to bring all of humanity on the development journey while stabilizing our climate and restoring our natural world.
It’s going to be a rocky ride and we are going to have some losses along the way, but we can do this.
And the critical ingredient is plentiful, clean energy.
ENERGY. THE GREAT UNIVERSAL SUBSTITUTE.
When we apply energy to development, fertility rates plummet, helping us stabilize the human population and elevate women into lives of greater choice and opportunity.
When we apply energy, we liberate human lives.
When we apply energy we can liberate human lives and labor, meaning people aren’t just surviving, they are thriving.
When we apply energy we can be more efficient with other resources. With energy, we can recycle, demanding less of virgin nature to provide for our needs.
With energy and agriculture we get more food from less land, liberating spaces to remain as nature or return to nature.
With energy we build dense settlements, clean our water and manage our waste.
With energy we can liberate our oceans as we grow our own food.
WE KNOW HOW TO DO THESE THINGS BUT WE RELY ALMOST ENTIRELY ON PLENTIFUL AND RELIABLE FOSSIL FUELS.

The energy that makes human lives so much better, now threatens us by altering our precious, irreplaceable climate.
(This claim is completely inaccurate. Carbon dioxide from fossil fuels and natural sources is the molecule of life and only benefits, not harms, humanity. Climate alarmists and anti-fossil fuel alarmists are out to destroy the modern world. - John Shanahan)
There is an answer.
A proven energy source.
There is an answer. There is a proven energy source that can meet our needs without changing the climate.
(It will be centuries before nuclear power meets humanities energy needs. First, nuclear must replace all other forms of generating electricity. That will be two centuries plus. Then nuclear must manufacture synthetic fuels for all the things fossil fuels do besides generate electricity. Another two centuries plus. Nuclear advocates who claim that nuclear power can control climate change and that nuclear power will be available worldwide for all these needs probably have never worked a day on real energy technologies or projects. - John Shanahan)
When we use it we save millions of lives because it doesn’t pollute the air.
It uses less land and less materials.
It works in every climate and every location.
IT’S NUCLEAR ENERGY THAT BREAKS THE PARADOX.
We can unify human development with the protection and restoration of wild nature.
The potential of nuclear energy, especially new generations of super-efficient plants is so great, that we can go large on how we want the world to be.
We can use energy to make clean synthetic fuels, to recycle more materials, to capture and sequester greenhouse gases, allowing the natural world to heal every step of
Main Report Part 1 - Countries and Organizations Part 2 - Individuals 66
the way.
We can use energy to clean and rehabilitate damaged land. We can use new reactors to destroy the waste from older reactors, and gift ourselves clean reliable energy in the process. Nuclear energy provides the path of disarmament, permanently destroying the weapons of war.
a bright new world is within reach.
WE NEED TO SEE IT.
WE NEED TO FEEL IT.
WE NEED TO KNOW IT AND WE NEED TO GO FOR IT.
But it takes a new type of environmental organisation to fight for it.
It takes an organisation that treats humanity as a cause worth fighting for, not an enemy to fight against.
An organisation that faces up to our challenges but acknowledges and celebrates our achievements.
An organisation that embraces our knowledge, our potential and the tools at our disposal.
It takes an organisation like Bright New World.
We are here to fight for something better. We plan to make it happen and we are going to love every minute of it.

⤊ CLIMATE AUDITOR - BEVAN DOCKERY
⤊ Climate
The Earth is estimated to be 4.5 billion years old. The earliest geological era is named the Hadean era after Hades due to the extensive volcanic activity creating sheets of molten lava across the surface.
Volcanic activity produces copious amounts of atmospheric CO2 so how could the temperature have fallen to the present-day comfortable level if the ever-present atmospheric CO2 warms the Earth?
In every minute of every hour of every day, the atmospheric CO2 absorbs and re-radiates heat from the Sun and the Earth’s surface and has been doing so for more than 4 billion years. If this caused warming of the Earth’s surface then surely at least all of the oceans would have evaporated by now. It is simply ridiculous to claim that such warming is taking place and will cause catastrophic conditions in the near future.
If it were true then it would have happened long ago, life on Earth would have ceased and we would not be here to listen to such illogical nonsense.
Like every inert, material entity, the atmospheric CO2 is merely a conduit for the passage of heat energy from hot bodies to colder bodies as part of the normal process of achieving thermal equilibrium. It does not produce any heat so it cannot warm anything.
The fictitious warming claim promoted by the UN IPCC and the World Economic Forum is simply untenable. It is an attempt to instill fear into the population at large, cause an economic collapse and then claim that a ‘One World Government’ is necessary, run by them, of course.

There is no climate emergency.
Climate science should be less political, while climate policies should be more scientific. Scientists should openly address uncertainties and exaggerations in their predictions of global warming, while politicians should dispassionately count the real costs as well as the imagined benefits of their policy measures Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we are now experiencing a period of warming. Warming is far slower than predicted. The world has warmed significantly less than predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing. The gap between the real world and the modeled world tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.
CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. More CO2 is favorable for nature, greening our planet. Additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also profitable for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.

NOTE: CNN’s explanation of man-made global warming (climate change) being like a greenhouse is completely wrong. The open atmosphere does not, cannot act as a greenhouse. This is simply proven by standing in a closed greenhouse and then standing in the open air in a field nearby. Entirely different temperatures. Entirely different physics.

⤊ Introduction

⤊ Climate
The understanding of Earth’s climate depends to a large extent on our knowledge of radiative transfer processes in the atmosphere. Short wavelength radiation in the visible range from the sun enters the atmosphere and finds its way to the surface to warm it. Long wavelength radiation in the infrared range is emitted from the surface
Main Report Part 1 - Countries and Organizations Part 2 - Individuals 87
to find its way to the universe and cools the planet. The energy balance between these two streams of radiation has a profound influence on the temperature and the conditions to sustain life as we know it on our planet. Atmospheric physics is essential in understanding the relevant processes.
Atmospheric water, H2O, as vapor and clouds, is by far the most important source of greenhouse warming of the Earth’s surface. Atmospheric CO2 also contributes to greenhouse warming but much less than H2O. More CO2 will cause some additional warming, both directly and with amplification (or possibly attenuation) by feedbacks, which are still very poorly understood. In addition to modest warming from more CO2, the earth’s temperature is affected by many other factors. Among these are solar activity, the distribution of atmospheric water vapor and clouds, atmospheric and ocean circulation patterns, volcanic activity, slow changes in the earth’s orbital parameters. Whether more CO2 will be good or bad for life on earth does not depend on the existence of greenhouse warming and related effects from more CO2, like changes in the pH of the oceans, and benefits to plant growth. The issue is the magnitudes of the effects. We are persuaded that the net effects of increasing CO2 will be very good for the world, and especially for its human population.

(Note: Realist climate scientists have three different opinions as to what has caused the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide in the last two hundred years:
a) It is all from natural causes.
b) It is a mix of natural causes and use of fossil fuels.
c) It is all from fossil fuels.
Each side has points that could make sense. What is disappointing is that many of these scientists walk out and the scientific discussion stops there. John Shanahan)
⤊ Fossil fuels
Political leaders of developing countries face constant pressure to generate enough electricity for their populations as they are being asked to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. In a bold and rebellious move, India has ordered reopening more than 100 dormant coal mines to meet skyrocketing domestic power demand.

⤊ CORNWALL ALLIANCE FOR THE STEWARDSHIP OF CREATION - CALVIN BEISNER
⤊ About
The Cornwall Alliance is a network of evangelical Christian scholars–mostly natural scientists, economists, policy experts, theologians, philosophers, and religious leaders–dedicated to educating the public and policymakers about Biblical earth stewardship (men and women working together to enhance the fruitfulness, beauty, and safety of the earth, to the glory of God and the benefit of our neighbors), economic development for the poor (through private property rights, entrepreneurship, free trade, limited government, the rule of law, and access to abundant, affordable, reliable energy), and the gospel of forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God by grace through faith in the atoning death and vindicating resurrection of Jesus Christ.
[The leadership of the Cornwall Alliance stands in sharp contrast to leadership of other religious organizations who promote faith in man-made global warming catastrophes and belief that certain people can control Earth’s climate! - John Shanahan]

Climate and Energy
Much of the debate over environmental stewardship is rooted in a clash of worldviews, with conflicting doctrines of God, creation, humanity, sin, and salvation. Unfortunately, that clash often works its way into the very conclusions of environmental science. Rather than a careful reporting of the best evidence, we get highly speculative and theory-laden conclusions presented as the assured results of science. In the process, science itself is diminished, and many well-meaning moral and religious leaders risk offering solutions based on misleading science. The effect, tragically, is that the very people we seek to help could be harmed instead.

“Nuclear power is free of CO2 and is an essential part of the fight against climate change.”
“Climate urgency requires all low-carbon sources to be currently available. Nuclear power is one of these sources.”
These claims are similar to many pro-nuclear organizations in the USA and European countries
Making these claims is easy. Proving that nuclear’s zero CO2 emissions during operations is a benefit for the environment is not possible, because it is not a fact. CO2 is the molecule of life and a benefit for all.
⤋ Fossil fuels
Foro Nuclear and nuclear power organizations worldwide must acknowledge that fossil fuels created a marvelous modern world. They will be used for a long time to come, especially for transportation, agriculture, heavy industry, mining, and space heating.
Organizations like Foro Nuclear must acknowledge that many nuclear professionals are real environmentalists who appreciate CO2 from all sources as the molecule of life.

COP27 Flails and Fails to Face Reality of Energy Crisis and Preposterous Loss and Damage Claims
The history of the Earth tells us that the climate is always changing; from warm periods when the dinosaurs flourished, to the many ice ages when glaciers covered much of the land. Climate has always changed due to natural cycles without any help from people.
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a political

organization promoting a theory that recent minor temperature increases may be caused largely by man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. CO2 is an infrared gas, and increasing concentrations can potentially increase the average global temperature as the gas absorbs long-wave radiation from the Earth and emits the absorbed energy. However, the warming ability of CO2 is limited because much of the absorption spectrum is near saturated.

As the climate crisis intensifies, science and justice demand real, renewable solutions that will protect our planet and communities not false climate solutions that sacrifice frontline communities and ignore mistakes of the past.
Climate solutions should be clean and just. We cannot continue to rely on false solutions like nuclear, biomass, petrochemicals, and net zero.
⤋ Fossil fuels
In order to stand a chance of surviving climate change, we need to keep 80 percent of known fossil fuel reserves in the ground. Friends of the Earth stands side by side with communities on the front lines of resisting fossil fuel projects – from extraction, to transportation, to combustion.

Since it was first commercialized, nuclear power has proven to be one of the dirtiest, most dangerous and most expensive sources of energy. Nuclear reactors have a long history of accidents, leaks, extended outages and skyrocketing costs.
Since Friends of the Earth was founded 40 years ago, we have been the United States’ leading voice opposing nuclear energy and exposing the real dangers of nuclear power plants. Our work against nuclear power helped shut down reactors at Diablo Canyon and San Onofre and helped cancel both the MidAmerican Energy and V.C. Summer nuclear projects.

The state of the energy transition. My annual memo about the journey to zero emissions.
When I first started learning about climate change 15 years ago, I came to three conclusions. First, avoiding a climate disaster would be the hardest challenge people had ever faced. Second, the only way to do it was to invest aggressively in clean-energy innovation and deployment. And third, we needed to get going.
4 ways the U.S. can reassert leadership on climate change
During last year’s campaign, President Joe Biden argued that the “United States must lead the world to take on the existential threat we face—climate change.”
⤋ Fossil fuels
The world still needs to reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions from 51 billion tons to zero, but global emissions continue to increase every year.
To understand what it will take to get to zero, we need to start by asking where the 51 billion tons of emissions come from. Unfortunately, the answer is everything and everywhere.
Everything: Virtually every human activity produces greenhouse gas emissions. People automatically think of electricity, where there’s a path to zero because wind and solar are now cheaper than fossil fuels. But electricity accounts for only 26 percent of global emissions. Similarly, lithium-ion batteries have made it possible to see a net-zero future for car travel. But cars account for less than half of the transportation sector’s 16 percent of emissions. Lithium-ion batteries don’t do much about the emissions from long-distance travel in airplanes, cargo ships, and heavy-duty trucks.
We use so much energy, and we have invested so much in the machinery to generate

it. Now, in the span of about 30 years, we have to decommission it all and start over again with clean technologies.

An energy briefing with Daniel Yergin: Nuclear Energy
We need to find new, reliable, scalable energy sources that are as cheap or cheaper than today’s fossil fuels, but with zero carbon emissions. This is true for both the rich world as well as the developing world. One of the few technologies that could possibly fit that bill is nuclear energy. I’m involved in a startup company, TerraPower, which is working to develop a new type of reactor that would be much safer, produce much less waste, and actually use waste products from older reactors as its main fuel.
In the ten years that Bill Gates and his team of experts have been talking about his revolutionary traveling wave reactor, he has changed technologies several times, always retreating from his original, novel idea and moving toward long existing ideas that were actually tested, instead of just computer models. This pace is not much different than the pace of the last fifty years where the NRC and EPA had everything tied in knots.
[NOTE - John Shanahan: Bill Gates became one of the richest persons on Earth through computer software technology. He is enjoying spending his billions before he passes on for technology projects supposedly to improve the human condition. Nuclear energy experts with decades of testing, development, and operating experience of important advanced nuclear power technology have met with Gates’ advanced nuclear power designers. The experts with real nuclear power experience were rebuffed by Gates’ computer based nuclear power experts. Not much power to show for all the money he is spending. At least his money is finding its way back into the economy instead of sitting in shares of stock or an investment account. Stories of his high tech toilets and laser guns to kill mosquitos go in similar directions. Too bad. He could have made real progress.]

COP27 Egypt - 2022
Burning Carbon
For this COP, we were also selected to have an “exhibit”. Here, near the largest-at-COP Egyptian Pavilion, we attempted to display “human-scale” visuals regarding the clean energy transition. One of these visuals are those balloons you see, which represent the actual CO2 emitted, per KWh of various countries. For coal dependent China, that number is 541.3 grams CO2/KWh on the left. At 1870 grams of CO2/cubic meter, that
Main Report Part 1 - Countries and Organizations Part 2 - Individuals 126
translates to a balloon about 258cm in circumference.
It turns out that countries don’t like it when you balloon-ify their electricity emissions, because it wasn’t more than an hour before China complained to the UN Secretariat and demanded we stop the unauthorized usage of their flag! We eventually took the balloons down, but gained even more respect for the power of visual metaphors! Maybe if we have more balloons at future COPs we’ll see countries get a bit more competitive in the race to clean power!
Gen A’s Matt, who ran a crossfit gym for a decade, organized a demonstration called Nuclear Energy for Climate Fitness! He teamed up with other members of the Nuclear for Climate coalition and rapper Baba Brinkman to execute this exciting piece of street theatre! Immediately afterward, several members of the team were interviewed by journalists who had joined the crowd to watch.
The story of Generation Atomic is mostly about their beliefs that nuclear power can solve the so-called man-made global warming crisis. This is wrong for two reasons:
1) Long term global warming - climate change is caused by natural processes, not use of fossil fuels.
Photo: Nuclear Power for a Fit Climate
Main Report Part 1 - Countries and Organizations Part 2 - Individuals 127
2) In reality, it is going to take several hundred years for nuclear power to be widely implemented. That is far after all the proposed climate deadlines of the alarmists and Generation Atomic.
We encourage the leadership of Generation Atomic to use their talents and financial resources to promote all the good things about nuclear power, nuclear medicine, and nuclear technologies without reference to supposed catastrophic man-made global warming. Follow Michael Shellenberger and become realists. That is where the best progress will be made.

Rethinking the Greenhouse Effect
The widely held belief that humans are causing a climate emergency has its origins in the claim that greenhouse gases keep the planet warm by absorbing Earth’s radiation,1 preventing it escaping to space. From this understanding, it would naturally follow that releasing more greenhouse gases, specifically carbon dioxide from industrial emissions, will lead to more warming.
Burning of fossil fuels has increased the CO2 concentration of the atmosphere. In the IPCC’s explanation, as the concentration has increased, there has been a reduction in the intensity of radiation emitted to space. This so-called ‘radiation forcing’ heats the atmosphere. The reality of the greenhouse effect is much more complex than just the absorption of Earth’s radiation by greenhouse gases and the balance of radiation at the top of the atmosphere. It has been understood for 60 years that greenhouse gases
Main Report Part 1 - Countries and Organizations Part 2 - Individuals 128
emit more radiation – to space and back to Earth – than they absorb. The atmosphere is only prevented from cooling by a constant flow of heat and latent energy (the evaporation of water vapour) from the Earth’s surface. It is impossible to understand what is going on without considering these enormous flows of energy.
The absence of global radiation balance is exemplified by the fact that Earth’s average surface temperature is not constant; it has an annual range exceeding 2.5°C. This shows that the global emission of longwave radiation to space must vary through the year. This can only mean that the amount of heat radiated 2 to space is a function of Earth’s changing temperature, which in turn means radiation to space cannot in any way be defining Earth’s temperature, either locally or globally.
An alternative approach to explaining why Earth’s temperature is changing is to follow the course of energy as it traverses the climate system, from absorption over the tropics, transport poleward by the atmospheric and oceanic currents, to emission to space over higher latitudes.
While a small amount of extra energy has gone into the tropical ocean surface as a result of increased carbon dioxide concentrations, eight times as much has escaped to the atmosphere. The absorption of additional radiation energy from the change in carbon dioxide concentration is insufficient to support the rise in latent heat loss from the increase in surface temperature. This leaves changes in ocean currents as the only plausible explanation for the warming of the tropical reservoir. Importantly, this idea is supported by real-world evidence, such as the observed slowing of the Gulf Stream.

How Carbon Dioxide Emissions Change the Climate
To sum: The radiative effect of added CO2 to the atmosphere is a first order climate forcing and its influence on global warming has been robustly demonstrated. The biogeochemical effect of added carbon dioxide is also a first order climate forcing and results in significant changes to regional climate. Quantifying them is complicated.
The biogeochemical effect and the radiative effect interact as well. Carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, and other alterations to the carbon cycle, result in a warming of the planet from what would have occurred otherwise. They also contribute to changes in vegetation and soil dynamics, with resulting substantial effects on climate and weather.

How nuclear technologies will deliver low carbon energy to balance global emissions and removals by 2050
This IAEA document shows that many organizations involved in promoting nuclear power are off base in understanding the science of atmospheric carbon dioxide, climate change, the importance of fossil fuels, the insignificance of nuclear power in controlling climate change, the real, much longer, schedule for worldwide rollout of nuclear power and the small part nuclear power plays in the overall energy use.
1) Carbon dioxide is the molecule of life and not a pollutant causing catastrophic global warming.
2) The worldwide rollout of nuclear power will take well over one hundred years for many difficult-to-change reasons, well beyond the tipping point climate catastrophe dates of 2030, 2050, etc., etc.
3) There is no scientific reason to race to leave fossil fuels in the ground. It is all smoke and mirrors from the UN, WEF, Sierra Club, Natural Resource Defense Council, politicians in Australia, Canada, Germany, UK, USA, etc. China, India, and Russia have the right priorities for use of fossil fuels and nuclear power.
The Potential Role of Nuclear Energy in National Climate Change Mitigation Strategies
IAEA Grossi at Davos: Nuclear Power, Climate Change and Ukraine
Nuclear energy is considered a key low carbon technology for achieving ambitious and urgent climate change mitigation. Following adoption of the Paris Agreement, the IAEA initiated a coordinated research project (CRP) to support Member States assess the potential role of nuclear energy in their national climate and energy strategies.
[When will nuclear power organizations acknowledge that nuclear power will have no influence on the physics of climate change? CO2 from fossil fuel power plants has practically no influence on climate change. Electricity from fossil fuel power plants is desperately needed in most countries.]

World Energy Outlook 2022, Executive Summary
The world is in the midst of its first global energy crisis – a shock of unprecedented breadth and complexity. Pressures in markets predated Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but Russia’s actions have turned a rapid economic recovery from the pandemic –which strained all manner of global supply chains, including energy – into full-blown energy turmoil.
With energy markets remaining extremely vulnerable, today’s energy shock is a reminder of the fragility and unsustainability of our current energy system.
Times of crisis put the spotlight on governments, and on how they react. Alongside short-term measures, many governments are now taking longer-term steps: some seeking to increase or diversify oil and gas supply; many looking to accelerate structural change. The three scenarios explored in this World Energy Outlook (WEO) are differentiated primarily by the assumptions made on government policies. The Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS) shows the trajectory implied by today’s policy settings. The Announced Pledges Scenario (APS) assumes that all aspirational targets announced by governments are met on time and in full, including their long-term net zero and energy access goals. The Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario maps out a way to achieve a 1.5 °C stabilisation in the rise in global average temperatures, alongside universal access to modern energy by 2030.

Global temperature observations over the last 40 years indicate an average temperature increase of just over 0.1°C per decade, which if continued, points to a further temperature rise of about 1°C by 2100, probably less as the greenhouse effect reaches saturation.

“The Road to Serfdom” or “What the hell are we smoking?”
"By the year 2032, historians will wonder as to how the Western World in the early 2020’s unquestioningly believed that there was an “existential climate emergency”, predicated on exaggerated IPCC models and unbalanced media myopia.
They will wonder how the resulting green political agenda, though originally well intended, led to the legislation of mitigation strategies that were scientifically unnecessary, economically unaffordable, technically unachievable and, in the final analysis, socially unacceptable.
They will wonder why farming was severely curtailed, based on a misperception of the role of methane, despite an ideal climate for agriculture and a world food shortage.
They will wonder how there was no understanding of the scientific fact that mitigation, even if achieved at a global level, as had already been proven in the pandemic, would have an imperceptible decadal impact on the carbon-dioxide content of the atmosphere."

⤋ Climate Change
Global climate change is caused by natural processes. The negative grade is due to the inference that CO2 from use of fossil fuels causes global climate change that causes health problems. Yes, some types of natural climate change cause health problems. Others cause improvements in health. Inferring that climate change is caused by use of fossil fuels is scientifically wrong.

LaRouche does not recommend wind turbines, solar panels, and solar ovens. Those alarmist goals aim to depopulate the world. See the World Economic Forum and the UN COP. Their ideas are refreshing, hopeful, and different. See articles by Pat Ruckert, Schiller Institute, and LaRouche Organization.

Call for an Ad-Hoc Committee for a New Bretton Woods System
Roosevelt’s Bold Creation of the Anti-Entropic Bretton Woods System
The neoliberal system is hopelessly bankrupt. But Western governments, rather than drawing the consequences of this fact, and fundamentally reorganizing the system, have escalated the confrontation with their alleged systemic competitors, Russia and China. This has led, as a result of NATO’s five-fold expansion eastward, to a reverse Cuban Missile Crisis and to a war in the middle of Europe which could potentially escalate into a nuclear Third World War.
The neoliberal idea of outsourcing a nation’s industrial production to low-wage countries, was wrong, as it destroys productive jobs in industrial nations and exploits labor in the developing countries. Equally wrong is the idea of a “shareholder-value society,” in which short-term stock market profiteering is the sole goal, and long-term rises in physical economic productivity are meaningless.
The stunning collapse of infrastructure in the United States and Europe—be it unsafe bridges, freight trains waiting for days on rail sidings, the absurd amount of time required for repairs, the shortage of skilled labor, or the disappearance of products on store shelves—is proof positive of the failure of the neoliberal model.
The New Deal for Humanity is Not Green, But Human!
The greatest villainy against the common good is currently underway. It will make the rich even richer and the poor even poorer. It will have catastrophic consequences: hunger riots and social chaos in the industrialized nations, genocide in developing countries, and in the view of the financial oligarchy, a third world war of the NATO states against Russia and China will soon become almost inevitable. These disastrous developments will be the consequence, if all investments are steered into “green” branches of industry, and a complete phase-out of investment ensues through the

⤊ About Francis Menton
With one exception: we suffer from a stifling political and ideological orthodoxy. The central tenet of that orthodoxy is that all personal problems of the people in society can be solved by government taxing and spending. The obvious corollary is that since all problems can be solved by taxing and spending, therefore they must be solved by taxing and spending, and anyone who stands in the way of those solutions is immoral. A few subsidiary tenets of the orthodoxy include: the government has infinite capacity to tax and spend and does not need to make any choices about spending priorities; the government has an infinite ability to borrow; an appropriate function of government is to take on all down-side risk of life so that no individual ever needs to worry about loss of anything; the government can achieve a perfect society by ordering the people to behave in appropriate ways, in which case they will do so without any attempts at evasion or any unintended consequences; the current built environment is optimal

and all attempts to change it in any way must be opposed at all costs; usage of energy is a human right, but all actual known methods of producing energy are environmentally unacceptable; new, fancier, and higher-priced stores and restaurants are ruining the neighborhood; and labor unions improve the lives of workers with no adverse consequences.

MOTHERS FOR NUCLEAR
Introduction
We were initially skeptical of nuclear energy, but learned through asking a lot of questions. We started Mothers for Nuclear as a way to share our stories and begin a dialogue with others who want to protect nature for future generations.

We help people to see nuclear for what it is - a vitally important environmental technology - and overcome fears that are based on misinformation. Once that happens, decision-makers will feel enabled to help. Policies will change, nuclear plants will stay open, and new nuclear plants can be built. We would like to see all fossil fuel plants replaced by clean sources of energy including solar, wind and nuclear power as quickly as possible.
[- Do these American pro-nuclear mothers understand the desperate needs of mothers in Africa, Asia, and Latin America for electricity, transportation, heating, cooking, etc. from fossil fuels that they want to replace with nuclear, wind and solar?
- Do they understand that it will take far more than one hundred years for the whole world to be using just nuclear power for electricity needs?
- Do they understand the environmental destruction caused by mining and waste disposal of solar, wind, EV batteries, and grid backup batteries?
- Do they understand that wind and solar energy are extremely dilute energy sources, variable, unpredictable, and sometimes for days or weeks there is no wind or sun. Compare that to nuclear power? Wind and solar should be anathema to professionals who generate electricity for any modern electrical grid. How can nuclear power professionals support wind and solar?
Mothers for Nuclear are doing an excellent job educating the public and politicians, encouraging dialogue, and making friends for nuclear power. Many thanks!
They need to understand the science of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels, that nuclear power reducing CO2 won’t have an effect on climate change. It is all natural. Nuclear power professionals need to focus on moving nuclear power forward rather than making weak claims about CO2, the molecule of life.
In Spanish they say, “Dime con quién andas y te diré quien eres.” Question organizations who claim that carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is a catastrophic pollutant and that nuclear power can save the world from that pollution.

President’s Perspective Climate Change: A Defining Challenge for Science, Engineering, and Medicine
[Carbon dioxide is the molecule of life. It has very little effect on global warming at levels of 400 ppm and higher. See reports and websites in this document explaining the role of CO2 in global warming. For energy professionals, nuclear power professionals and advocates in particular, to claim that CO2 from fossil fuels causes serious global warming is a stain on the energy profession. President Obama’s Global Warming Science Advisor John Holdren said that virtually all National Academies have similar positions. That is a disgrace to science. - John Shanahan]
The National Academies have a rich history of studies on climate change, dating back to the 1970s. The 1979 report Carbon Dioxide and Climate: A Scientific Assessment[1] includes some of the first estimates of how much warming could be expected from a doubling of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This short document served as a touchstone for early research and political action to address climate change.
The unprecedented global challenges now posed by climate change require new approaches commensurate with the scale, scope, and complexity of the problems. To meet these challenges, the National Academies’ new climate center will convene the best minds from all technical sectors to explore numerous relevant dimensions of climate change and provide independent, evidence-based guidance to all levels of society. The center will encourage and enable transdisciplinary studies and activities, quickly marshal the energy and intellect of critical thinkers as needs arise, and support sustained engagement with decision makers from local to international scales. It will also create a platform to move our advice into action by all sectors of society.
As the consequences of climate change continue to become more apparent, the nation and the world will face new challenges that require innovative responses on a more rapid time scale. Because climate and our planet with all its living things are very complex systems of systems, responding to climate change will require weighing trade-offs, some with significant social and political implications. Trusted technical analysis will be essential input to these decisions. The new

AFRICA ⤊ About
Nuclear Africa (Pty) Ltd is a nuclear project management company based in Pretoria, South Africa.
South Africa is currently the only country in Africa which generates electricity produced by nuclear power.
Government has announced its intention to significantly expand nuclear power.
Furthermore, Government has also indicated that it wishes to encourage a great deal of localisation in the construction and fabrication of nuclear facilities. This policy opens up major business opportunities for companies large and small, both domestic and international, to become involved in nuclear developments in South Africa.
Africa is larger than China, India, Europe and the United States combined. This is a huge area which needs to be electrified to a much greater degree than it is now. African countries need reliable accessible electricity supplies which are affordable. Such supplies will drive economies forward at an accelerating rate, to the social and economic benefit of all their citizens.
Can nuclear power achieve this? Is nuclear power not too large, too expensive and too complex for most African countries? The answer is that Africa is ready to embark on a nuclear power path. Current mindsets imagine large nuclear plants which have to be situated on large bodies of water, such as the ocean, for cooling purposes. But as technological advance races forward, new generations of nuclear reactors are on the drawing boards and in technical development phases.
These are reactors of the order of only 100MW in size which do not need to be near large bodies of water. They can be placed virtually anywhere. They can be taken to where the power is needed, rather than generating power at a defined site such as is required with hydro-power, and then having to transmit the power over the huge distances of Africa to where the industrial development needs it.

⤋ Nuclear energy and climate change
This is a very unfortunate decision by the NEA to claim that nuclear power can in any way significantly control or minimize global warming/climate change.
Governments around the world are urgently seeking to rapidly decarbonise their economies whilst ensuring the security of energy supply. As a low-carbon electricity source, nuclear energy can contribute to clean energy capacity and emissions reductions between 2020 and 2050. While the potential exists for nuclear energy to play a much larger role in global climate change mitigation efforts, various enabling conditions must be met for this technology to fulfill its potential. Targeted policies, sustained investment and international cooperation are needed to reduce project costs, improve deployment timelines, build public confidence, and address financial barriers.
Many websites and their scientific studies, including websites in this document, show that CO2 is the marvelous molecule of life and contributes very small ways to global warming, climate change, extreme weather, and sea level rise.
The NEA and all professional nuclear organizations and advocate websites should stick to clearing the barriers that anti-nuclear power activists have put in front of this industry since the 1950s. Otherwise nuclear power will never become a significant energy source for Europe, the Americas and Africa. Nuclear power is fully embraced in China, India, and Russia

Nuclear Industry Key Carbon-Free Player at COP27
Nuclearelectrica, NuScale, TerraPower, Terrestrial Energy and Westinghouse—joined the UN’s 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact, which presents a set of principles and actions driving toward rapid decarbonization in the electricity sector. Influential companies like Google and Microsoft are signatories, and energy buyers, suppliers, governments, investors and other organizations have committed to the compact in order to achieve a transformative approach to energy procurement, supply, and policy design that delivers clean, scalable solutions.
Is Nuclear Energy Clean Enough to Slow Climate Change?
Clean energy sources—nuclear, hydropower, geothermal, wind and solar—work together to reduce greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. According to the Energy Information Administration, nuclear energy is the largest clean energy source in the United States, producing more carbon-free electricity than all other sources combined. 2020 figures show that nuclear energy generates more than half of America’s emission-free electricity.

Zero Emissions from Electric Vehicles?
⤊ Nuclear Nuclear Power Is the Answer
Democrats say they want to save the planet. What they really want is control over our lives. If they were telling the truth, they’d be far more amenable to nuclear power, which, as energy expert Emmet Penney asserts, is where we should be headed.
He points to Canada and France as examples to follow, but wonders rhetorically why America can’t “join in on the fun.”
Two things: the green turn and overregulation. Since the energy crisis of the 1970s, the environmental movement has gained substantial ideological ground in American energy policy. It has taken on utilities that overcommitted to nuclear, riled up customers, and delivered energy austerity through wind and solar. As climate change arguments gained traction, so has the greens’ energy vision. Many Americans now see renewables as the be-all and end-all of climate policy.
As the greens expanded their influence, America’s nuclear industry ground to a halt. First, through a bandwagon market that triggered expensive delays, then through the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s adoption of the so-called “as low as reasonably achievable” paradigm for measuring nuclear safety. ALARA’s basic logic is that any exposure to radiation, no matter how small, is potentially lethal. But the ALARA framework has meant that it is almost impossible to build nuclear plants on time and on budget, as the Vogtle plant in Georgia has taught us. Since the NRC was formed in the mid-Seventies, not a single design approved under its aegis has ever been completed.
He concludes that such grim facts are actually good news because “the obstacles to building more nuclear power in America aren’t technical it works now and it works well they’re political and regulatory.” That’s something we can overcome. And we should.

Carbon dioxide is the molecule of life. Over millions of years a lot of CO2 has been permanently sequestered in carbonaceous rock. It is gone forever. Some CO2 has been sequestered in fossil fuels. When we use fossil fuels, we release CO2 back into the atmosphere. That is good for life. We must work to slow down sequestration of carbon dioxide into rock.

About
The Saltbush Club is an unplanned venture. Tapping a deep vein of public concern about the Paris climate agreement, it just grew. In about a month, with zero corporate or government support, a few lone individuals have attracted an imposing line-up of sensible people who are well informed on all aspects of the climate debate, and on the growing energy, water and infrastructure problems facing Australia. Many are only prepared to publicise their concern since they have been freed from corporate, academic or government restraints. They are now expressing long-held but often-suppressed opinions.

About
The LaRouche Organization and Schiller Institute have worked for decades for a prosperous and peaceful world through better worldwide economic cooperation based on reliable energy from fossil fuels and nuclear power. They do not use wind turbines, solar panels, and solar ovens. They are not aiming to depopulate the world, like the World Economic Forum and the UN are. Their ideas are refreshing, hopeful, and different. See articles by Pat Ruckert, Schiller Institute, and LaRouche Organization for example.

⤊ Fossil fuels
Fossil fuels and their by-products have enabled humanity to make tremendous progress for better living. Coal, oil, and natural gas need to be made available to everyone.
Pollution control must be used. Only cleaner types of coal and oil should be used.
⤊ Nuclear
Nuclear power should be promoted as soon as possible for everyone. This will extend the availability of fossil fuels.
Nuclear power is the ultimate energy source for humanity. Its most advanced technologies will help mankind travel to the stars.

The urgency of dramatically reducing global carbon emissions is real, yet few appear to believe that humans will make the seemingly hard choices necessary to meet the Paris Climate Agreement limits. Seen from the perspective of policy makers, the general public, and even think tanks, the battle seems unmanageable. SCGI, however, is uniquely positioned in the trenches at the front of this battle and we believe that game-changing victories are imminent.
[Many organizations and individuals claim that carbon dioxide from fossil fuels is causing catastrophic global warming, sea level rise, more severe droughts, wildfires, blizzards, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc.
The National Academy of Engineering, NAE does the same.
John Shanahan, the editor of the website: allaboutenergy.net disagrees with climate change alarmists and with nuclear advocates who claim that nuclear power can come anywhere near replacing fossil fuels in the next few centuries and can have any influence on climate change! Climate change is solely in the realm of Mother Nature.
33)Carbon dioxide is the molecule supporting all life. The concentration of atmospheric CO2 has been MANY TIMES higher in the past. Life flourished and that CO2 DID NOT cause any catastrophes that the alarmists claim.
34)It is going to take 100, maybe a lot more years, for nuclear power to replace all the uses of fossil fuels for generating electricity, transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, mining, space heating, cooking.
35)Claims by SONE, the world’s National Academies of Science and Engineering, Women in Nuclear, Nuclear Energy Associations and Agencies are making

The Science Council for Global Initiatives joins other professionals and advocates to educate the public on the benefits of nuclear power include carbon-free energy. We know that nuclear power is the key to reducing carbon emissions while creating new jobs and bolstering our national security.
Is Nuclear Power Part of the Climate Solution?
Investing in the next generation of nuclear reactors could give the world an important tool for reducing carbon emissions.
As the world’s climate continues to warm, more than 50 nations have pledged to
Main Report Part 1 - Countries and Organizations Part 2 - Individuals 221
achieve “net-zero” greenhouse gas emissions by midcentury. That means producing radically lower levels of these gases in the decades ahead while removing from the atmosphere the equivalent of what we do produce.
Some individuals featured on this website advocate nuclear power as a solution to so-called man-made global warming. That is scientifically impossible. Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It is the molecule of life. We recommend that these advocates change their position to nuclear power being less polluting than all other energy sources and drop the claim that nuclear power solves man-made global warming.

More CO2 is definitely beneficial to Mother Nature’s work.
One important aspect of their efforts to explain climate change is that with the Apollo Moon Program, these scientists and engineers demonstrated their integrity and

The agreement between South Africa, European countries, the European Union, and the United states is the crown jewel of UN COP hypocrisy. In exchange for financial support for wind farms, South Africa is promising to close its coal mines and power plants, and replace them with wind power. Wind and solar energy don’t work. The financial aid goes to people with connections to incompetent governmet officials.
Wind and solar power projects in Europe and North America are causing tremendous grid problems. Some wind farms are being dismantled without having ever been used.
The UN COP annual climate change conferences are a circus and disgrace. The United States and Europe are energy foolish and hypocritical toward economically weaker countries. Scientists and engineers in South Africa are among the best in the world but can’t prevail over greed and stupidity of people in power.

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges we are facing today – but it is one that we can overcome together through collective action, robust policies, and bold leadership. Companies have a central role to play in combating climate change by driving action both within their operations and supply chains, demanding ambitious policies from governments, providing solutions that enable the global green transformation, and inspiring peers across industries to act.

November 9, 2022: Snowpack in Utah is well-above the average in every basin, as much as 1417% in San Pitch. And although it doesn’t take much at this time of the year to rise above the norm, this reality still completely contradicts the agenda-driving drivel spouted by the anti human psychopaths at COP27, where snowfall is, supposedly, vanishing from our planet.

Clearly, the global temperature data does not support the idea of a “climate emergency”, because when you view it on the proper scale of normal human experience, the steep rise in temperature disappears. And clearly, 500 knowledgeable people of science say there’s no need to worry.
