  • 2018 Energy & Environmental Newsletters
    2018 Energy & Environmental Newsletters (1600± Studies, Reports & Articles on Energy, Environment, Education, etc.) The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in improving national, state, and local energy and environmental policies, world-wide. Our premise is that technical matters (like climate change, our energy options, etc.) should be addressed by using Real Science. (Please see WiseEnergy.org for more information). A key element of AWED’s efforts is public education. Towards that end, every 2-4 weeks we put together a Newsletter to try to balance what is found in the mainstream media about Energy and Environmental issues. (More recently we have also included articles about Science and Education.) We appreciate MasterResource for their assistance in publishing the Newsletters. Note 1: The Newsletters are intended to complement what’s on our website: WiseEnergy.org. Note 2: For links to other excellent sources of articles on Energy and Environmental matters please see the “Current News” page on our website. Note 3: The purpose of this extensive compilation is to make it easier to search for pertinent studies, reports and articles on a specific topic (e.g. wind energy interference with the military). It is advisable to try multiple search words — e.g. military, army, navy, etc. (Search terms are case insensitive over this HTML document.)

  • February 15, 2020) Brought to You by SEPP ( the Science and Environmental Policy Project
    The Week That Was: 2020-02-15 (February 15, 2020) Brought to You by SEPP (www.SEPP.org) The Science and Environmental Policy Project Quote of the Week: “"Laws are made for men of ordinary understanding and should, therefore, be construed by the ordinary rules of common sense. Their meaning is not to be sought for in metaphysical subtleties which may make anything mean everything or nothing at pleasure." — Thomas Jefferson (1823) Number of the Week: January 1736 THIS WEEK: By Ken Haapala, President, Science and Environmental Policy Project (SEPP) Future Emissions Down, Climate Sensitivity Up? Writing in American Thinker, Anthony Watts draws attention to a surprising article in one of the climate establishment’s journals, Nature. In that article by Zeke Hausfather and Glen Peters, the authors point out that great increases in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are unlikely to take place in the 21st century. Thus, the world will not warm as much as claimed using the standard modeling assumptions common to the global climate models used by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The authors propose that the IPCC modelers moderate their extreme emissions scenario, their storyline. The unlikely possibility of the extreme increase in CO2 emissions has been addressed by many sceptics, such as Judith Curry and Roy Spencer, and in the Reports of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC). Further, the comprehensive physical evidence of warming of the atmosphere, where the greenhouse effect occurs, does not show a dangerous warming as CO2 is increasing. The scenarios used are secondary to the main issue, the sensitivity of temperatures in the earth’s atmosphere to increasing CO2.

George Holliday This week's edition includes: 1. ENVIRONMENT A U.S. SUPREME COURT HOLDS STATUTE OF REPOSE IS NOT PREEMPTED BY CERCLA FEDERALLY REQUIRED COMMENCEMENT DATE On June 9, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in a 7-2 decision that a North Carolina statute of repose is not preempted by the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA). CTS Corp. v. Waldburger et al., No. 13-399 (June 9, 2014). The North Carolina statute of repose requires that tort lawsuits must be brought within 10 years after the defendant’s last culpable act. The Supreme Court, reversing the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, distinguished statutes of repose from statutes of limitations, which are preempted by CERCLA in certain circumstances. CERCLA preempts state statutes of limitations to the extent that they conflict with CERCLA’s approach that the limitations period begins to run only when the plaintiff discovers, or reasonably should have discovered, that the harm was caused by the contaminant. The Supreme Court distinguished the objective of a statute of repose—to provide finality to defendants after a legislatively-determined period of time following the culpable conduct—with the objective of a statute of limitations—to encourage plaintiffs to bring lawsuits in a timely manner.

  • Greenpeace Letter to Chales Koch
    702 H Street, NW, Suite 300, Washington, DC 20001 Tel: 202-462-1177 • Fax: 202-462-4507 Mr. Charles Koch Chairman and CEO, Koch Industries P.O. Box 2256 Wichita, KS 67201-2256 Dear Mr. Koch, As you know, one of your grant recipients – Dr. Richard Muller of University of California Berkeley – recently published an op-ed in the New York Times about his “total turnaround” from climate skepticism based on the results of his latest study. The Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation granted at least $150,000 to Dr. Muller’s Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature (BEST) study. Dr. Muller’s results are consistent with decades of scientific evidence, fully convincing him that global warming is happening and “humans are almost entirely the cause.” 1 Based on Dr. Muller’s evidence and the views of virtually all climate scientists, I am writing to inquire about the influence of these findings on your previously expressed skepticism about climate change. Dr. Muller explained in a recent Greenpeace Radio interview that he spoke directly with you about the BEST project and your personal interest in his analysis: “I did talk to Charles Koch. He emphasized from the beginning that he was concerned about valid issues in the science. He wanted us to straighten out those issues. He didn’t know what answer we would get. He just wanted it to be put on a solid, firm foundation. That’s what we’ve done.” 2 For years, you and your brother, David Koch, have directly provided over $61 million to organizations that deny science and cast doubt on global climate change, in addition to millions more in hidden funding through your “Knowledge and Progress Fund.” This includes support for the Heartland Institute, which is currently supporting a project run by the retired TV weatherman Anthony Watts in attempts to discredit the results of the BEST study.

    Climate Change: The Role of Flawed Science An analysis by Peter Laut – November 2009 “My findings do not by any means rule out the existence of important links between solar activity and terrestrial climate. Such links have over the years been demonstrated by many authors. The sole objective of the present analysis is to draw attention to the fact that some of the widely publicized, apparent correlations do not properly reflect the underlying physical data.” From my article in Journal of Atmospheric and Solar‐Terrestrial Physics 2003 (see link given below) At the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December 2009 the nations of the world will discuss possible ways to slow down global climate change. The main goal will be to organize a coordinated reduction of man‐made greenhouse gas emissions. With all nations contributing according to their ability. But: Is global warming perhaps caused by the sun? An important question concerns the physical cause of global warming. Is it primarily caused by changes in solar activity or by man‐made greenhouse gasses? The answer has enormous consequences for the way mankind should react. If the dominant cause for global warming is solar activity, then there is no reason for mankind to waste resources in trying to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. And no reason to have the climate conference in Copenhagen. If, however, the dominant cause is man‐made greenhouse gasses, then a reduction of emissions may be absolutely necessary in order to prevent a global climate catastrophe. The overwhelming majority of scientists, represented by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has for many years collected and analyzed observational data and carried out model simulations in order to resolve this question and has arrived at the conclusion that the results overwhelmingly point at the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as the cause.
