K praci Willieho Soona

Willie Soon is a name that pops up every so often in climate ‘debate’. He was the lead author on the Soon and Baliunas (2003) paper (the only paper that has ever led to the resignation of 6 editors in protest at the failure of peer-review that led to its publication). He was a recent speaker (from 37.20) at the 2011 Heartland Institute conference, and can be counted on to produce a contrarian take on any particular issue that anyone might care about – ranging from climate, to mercury in fish and polar bear population dynamics.

Recently, there has been a renewed focus on how much money Willie Soon has taken from fossil fuel companies for his ‘research’ (over a $1 million dollars). While that is impressive, the real issue is not how he gets paid, but the quality of his science. The discussion last week about his finances did lead people to notice his publically accessible website where he has posted papers, emails, calculations and reviews going back to 2003 (Update: since this piece was posted, many items have been blocked. We have switched the links to saved versions). There is quite a lot of interesting stuff there, including a few curious tidbits.

RealClimate: How Soon is now?

The internet is awash with misinformation about the climate crisis, even as its effects on the planet couldn’t be more clear. The summer of 2023 is officially the hottest on record, the World Meteorological Organization reported this week. That historic heat has fueled deadly extreme weather across large swaths of the world and pushed global sea temperatures to record highs, disrupting ocean ecosystems and putting countless marine species at risk.

In fact, more than 3.8 billion people—or nearly half the world’s population—experienced extreme heat between June and August that was made more likely because of human-caused climate change, according to a new analysis by Climate Central. This week alone, Britain recorded its hottest day of the year so far and several regions in the United States are once again under heat advisories, as yet another series of brutal heat waves test struggling power grids, damage critical water systems and raise the cost of doing business in industries like farming.

Free market fundamentalisti kolem Atlas Network jsou nejcastejsi lihni climate denial. 37 procent z nich take prijalo donations od tabakoveho prumyslu

Amid growing academic and policy interest in the influence of think tanks in public policy processes, this article demonstrates the extent of tobacco industry partnerships with think tanks in the USA, and analyzes how collaborating with a network of think tanks facilitated tobacco industry influence in public health policy. Through analysis of documents from tobacco companies and think tanks, we demonstrate that the Atlas Economic Research Foundation, a network of 449 free market think tanks, acted as a strategic ally to the tobacco industry throughout the 1990s. Atlas headquarters, while receiving donations from the industry, also channeled funding from tobacco corporations to think tank actors to produce publications supportive of industry positions. Thirty‐seven per cent of Atlas partner think tanks in the USA received funding from the tobacco industry; the majority of which were also listed as collaborators on public relations strategies or as allies in countering tobacco control efforts. By funding multiple think tanks, within a shared network, the industry was able to generate a conversation among independent policy experts, which reflected its position in tobacco control debates. This demonstrates a coherent strategy by the tobacco industry to work with Atlas to influence public health policies from multiple directions. There is a need for critical analysis of the influence of think tanks in tobacco control and other health policy sectors, as well as greater transparency of their funding and other links to vested interests.

Každú nedeľu po ôsmej zvyknem počúvať na RTVS rozhovory, ktoré má Š. Chrappa (alter ego Pišta Vandal) s osobnosťami náboženského života. Predposlednú nedeľu mal pozvanú Katarínu Rausovú, tajomníčku slovenských skautov. Povedala, že skauti organizujú púť za klímu z Vatikánu do Katowíc. (V Katowiciach sa bude konať v decembri klimaalarmistická konferencia (klimaalarmistický sabat).) Neveril som vlastným ušiam. Tak už aj kresťania naskočili na klimatický alarmizmus?

No a neco starsiho od Kravcika zase, ktery mu se dari procpavat na ministerstvo zemedelstvi #Slovensko

Na konferencii OSN o vode pred niekoľkými dňami predstavili naši zástupcovia z ministerstva pôdohospodárstva a rozvoja vidieka tzv. bielu knihu opatrení, ktoré prostredníctvom obnovy vodného cyklu naprávajú poškodené biotopy, zvyšujú kondíciu pôdy a obnovujú prirodzené zdroje vody – podzemné, ale aj povrchové.
Vychádza z toho, že voda a jej obeh sú základným regulátorom klímy nielen na globálnej, ale aj na lokálnej úrovni. A na rozdiel od vágnych cieľov v oblasti emisií CO2 a iných skleníkových plynov je obnova ekosystémov postavená na obnove vodných cyklov reálnym opatrením.
