The Myth of a Fossil Fuel Phase-OutBRUSSELS – How the world uses energy is a hot topic for a warming planet, and fears of pollution and resource strain have produced a virtual arms race of energy-efficiency strategies.
Africans must take decisive action to combat the threat of global warming, by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions and by helping one another to adapt to climate change.
Developed countries – the major contributors to global warming – must live up to the promises they made at the COP21 climate talks in Paris last December.
Although the IPCC is not perfect – it famously predicted that all Himalayan glaciers would be gone in 2035, when the more likely year is 2350 – its many experts generally give us the best information on the fractious issue of global warming.
The new report’s fundamental conclusion will be that global warming is real and mostly our own doing.
To be clear, this slowdown does not mean that there is no global warming – there is; but it does call into question how much.
To its credit, the IPCC admits that “models do not generally reproduce the observed reduction in the surface warming trend over the last 10–15 years.”
Several studies from this year show that the slowdown could be caused by a natural cycle in the Atlantic or Pacific that caused temperatures to rise more in the 1980’s and 1990’s but that has slowed or stopped global warming now.
Global warming is real, but it has probably been exaggerated in the past, just as it is being underestimated now.
We should accept that there is global warming.
When solar and other green technologies can take over cheaply, we will have addressed global warming – without the angst.
This decline coincided with a rise in the surface temperature of the neighboring Indian Ocean, a hint that the decline in rainfall is in fact part of the longer-term process of man-made global warming.
The consequences are numerous and profound: acid precipitation, photochemical “smog” and global warming, among others.
And it devalues the currency of cosmopolitanism when we truly need it, as we do in the fight against global warming.
We might guess the general consequences of global warming in the next couple of decades, but the details remain hard to predict, as does the distant future.
But, to be successful, a “green new deal” will have to address some enormous challenges in the developing world, where the impact of global warming will be felt first and hardest, and where rapid growth requires massive expansion of cheap energy.
In order to provide more energy to meet development goals without accelerating global warming, there must be a shift to a new energy infrastructure built around renewables (of which the most significant are probably solar power, wind, and biofuels), cleaner coal, and carbon capture and storage.
That is less than half the 41% target that the International Energy Agency recommends if the world is to avert global warming of more than two degrees Celsius during this century.
So if the income level in the year 2,100 were to be reduced by 1.5% to 2.0% due to global warming, it would be only about 4.3 times higher than now.
Can we prevent a calamitous increase in global warming in a way that is fair, that takes account of past and present responsibility, and that does not thwart legitimate hopes for a better life everywhere?
Despite the IPCC’s target for annual per capita CO2 emissions, we still do not know how much warming various levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will cause.
Moreover, our calculations are conservative, as they do not include extinctions caused by invasive species, the expansion of human technologies (such as the long-line fishing that harms many seabirds), or global warming.
As global warming brings about a rise in average temperatures and ocean levels, inland reactors will increasingly contribute to, and be affected by, water shortages.
Such an innovation would help stem the spread of nuclear materials and weapons, while also contributing to a shift away from use of oil and gas, thereby reducing global warming in the process.
A new vision of the US-India relationship would focus on global warming, the collapse of industrial agriculture, the widening gap between rich and poor, the conventional and nuclear arms race in Asia, and the intensification of ethnic and religious conflict.
What is causing this climatic warming?
We thus have to look at the heat balance of our planet to understand the reason for the warming.
So, could changes in solar radiation explain the warming of the planet?
Changes in solar activity clearly cannot explain global warming.
Indeed, a part of the observed warming is due to less reflection, as snow and ice cover has shrunk.
