Good Lectures
This was a circular that I sent in
Jan 08 to my mailing list of interested people. It contains a list of good
lectures so I reproduce it here as it was sent.
You have
probably assumed that I have given up on global warming because I haven’t
bombarded you with any emails recently. Actually I haven’t given up at
all. I have been spending my time writing articles, letters and
emails to other people.
My paper to
the American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco in December was accepted
and displayed as a poster there. It's on my website at http://www.naturaljointmobility.info/agu.htm
and my much
longer paper for the Virgin Earth Challenge is at http://www.naturaljointmobility.info/EarthPaper.htm
What I
am finding as I try to keep up with the subject is that there are lots of
people saying almost the same as me and they have been doing so for a lot
longer. As David Keith says in his lecture (below), such ideas have not been
politically correct in the Climate Industry for the last 25 years. At last
now people are realising that there is no alternative and such proposals are
being advocated by people like the Nobel Laureate Thomas Schelling.
With the
advances in broadband technology you can watch his lecture to the World Bank at
http://info.worldbank.org/etools/bspan/PresentationView.asp?PID=2201&EID=994
"What
Development Economists Need to Know About Climate Change."
It is quite long- about an hour but he is a super lecturer
covering the whole subject really clearly. He is not a scientist. He is an
economist.
There is
also the scientific lecture by Ken Caldiera who is one of the very well known
scientific proponents of geoengineering http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzMVfJKJK_c
Also about
an hour but very good.
Another
very good lecture is by environmental scientist David Keith
http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/geoengineering-climate-change-solutions/
So lots of
good stuff but I have yet to find anything quite as simple as my proposal!
Do keep
sending me items that you hear about.

PS I have
added names to this circular over the months. If you don’t wish to receive
them, just reply saying so and I will delete you!
