Is climate science being politicized? Are facts being misrepresented and distorted to fit a certain narrative? Are climate scientists trying to dictate policy instead of investigating the actual truth? And what does it mean to be accused of being a global warming denier? Here today to discuss this controversial topic with me is no other than Steven Koonin! Steven is a renowned theoretical physicist and has recently been working on urban studies and government policies. He has also published a very provocative book, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters. The book caused a lot of controversy as it challenged the dominant narrative on global warming, and today, he is here to state his case!

Dersom du ser gjennom politikeres og system­mediers propa­ganda og tåke­legging, fortjener du å bli kansellert, for uenighet eller debatt tåles ikke i vårt klima­frelste land. Det opplevde Document onsdag morgen da en forfatter­profil oppfordret til å boikotte oss. Det er ikke nødvendigvis konsekvens­fritt å påpeke at «Hans» ikke er resultat av bilkjøring og biff. Forfatter Sigmund Aas oppfordret sine følgere til å boikotte «liksom-avisa» ved å si opp sine abonnement og tagget deretter inn Vipps og Altibox med forundring over hvorfor disse selskapene tilbyr oss tjenester. Banktjenester er som kjent en nødvendighet i våre dager, hvor du mister all tilgang til å ivareta deg selv dersom du skulle være uheldig å tenke eller si noe «feil». Da går mer enn huset, for å si det slik, men det fortjener åpenbart alle som hevder at det ikke kan settes likhetstegn mellom såkalte menneskeskapte klimaendringer og regnværet som har satt deler av Østlandet under vann de siste dagene. Aas har muligens kommet på andre tanker, for Facebook-posten er siden blitt slettet, og han ønsket ikke å delta i kveldens Doc-TV. Kveldens Dagsorden tar ellers en liten historisk gjennomgang av flom og vær i Norge, et blikk på hva forskjell mellom vitenskap og kvasivitenskap er, samt en samtale om kanselleringskulturen som dessverre har blitt alt for normalisert i våre dager.

Vi advares om den varmeste europeiske sommeren noensinne, værkartene males i rødt og sort, temperaturene måles fra asfalten og svenske medier kan fortelle oss at det nå er så hett i Sør-Europa at butikkene må stenge midt på dagen. Det kan få hvem som helst, som vet hva «siesta» er, til å gapskratte. Klimagalskapen er den nye overtroen og dens talspersoner gjør sitt ytterste for å overbevise deg. Det er ikke vanskelig å holde hodet kaldt temperaturer på 13-20 grader og når Eivind Trædal hyler om at kloden koker, så er det bare å kikke ut av vinduet eller ta morgenkaffen på terrassen for å akklimatisere seg fra fryktpornoen. Klimakrisen har dessuten tatt over for covid-plandemien, nå er dødsfall kjempeviktig igjen, tross alle dødsfallene som har forbigått oss i stillhet de to årene. Om de eldre dør av eller med varmen, har vi ikke avklart enda. Velkommen til Dagsorden. Viktig melding! Abonner på vår nye YouTube-kanal, vi ønsker å tilby et alternativ skulle Rumble svikte.

»Wird die Zivilisation mit einem Knall oder einem Winseln untergehen? Der aktuelle Trend ist ein Winseln in Erwachsenen-Windeln.«, Elon Musk Existentielle Risiken sind ein Thema, das in diesen Podcast passt, auch weil es eine interessante historische und zukünftige Dimension hat. Zur Zukunft später, zuerst zur Vergangenheit: Zwar gab es auch in der Vergangenheit für die Menschheit oder den Planeten existentielle Risiken, etwa Asteroiden-Einschläge, aber es waren Risiken, die der Mensch weder beeinflussen noch herbeiführen konnte. Die Wirkmacht der Menschen war über den größten Zeitraum menschlicher Geschichte eine lokale. Das ändert sich zunächst langsam mit der industriellen Revolution und dann schlagartig ab der Mitte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Atomwaffen waren die erste Technologie, die ganz offensichtlich gezeigt haben, dass wir nun in der Lage sind nicht nur ganze Landstriche zu verwüsten, sondern tatsächlich die ganze Welt.  "Wir waren immer verrückt, aber wir hatten nicht die Fähigkeiten die Welt zu zerstören. Jetzt haben wir sie.", Nassim Taleb Was sind existentielle Risiken? Versuch einer Definition: »Ein 'existenzielles Risiko' (X-Risiko) ist ein Ereignis, das die Möglichkeiten der Menschheit dauerhaft und drastisch einschränken könnte, indem es zum Beispiel das Aussterben der Menschheit verursacht«, CamXRisk Meine erweiterte Definition: Ein existenzielles Risiko für die Menschheit ist eine Bedrohung, die große Teile des Planeten oder menschlicher Strukturen zerstört oder große Teile der Menschheit in einem Ausmaß oder auf eine Weise töten könnte, dass eine Wiederherstellung eines modernen Gesellschaftsniveaus innerhalb eines Zeitrahmens von Jahrhunderten nicht wahrscheinlich ist. Macht das Auflisten existentieller Risiken, das Ranken Sinn? Mit welchen Einschränkungen, unter welchen Rahmenbedingungen? Ist es überhaupt möglich, die Risiken sinnvoll einzuschätzen und wovon hängt das Risiko ab? »Eine Pandemie besteht aus einem neuen Erreger und den sozialen Netzwerken, die er angreift. Wir können das Ausmaß der Ansteckung nicht verstehen, wenn wir nur das Virus selbst untersuchen, denn das Virus wird nur so viele Menschen infizieren, wie es die sozialen Netzwerke zulassen. Gleichzeitig legt eine Katastrophe die Gesellschaften und Staaten offen, die sie angreift.«, Niall Ferguson Daher sind die Auswirkungen von Effekten komplexer Bedrohungen oft auch schwer einzuschätzen. So sind etwa trotz Klimawandel: »Die jährlichen Todesfälle durch Tornados in den USA sind seit 1875 um mehr als das Zehnfache zurückgegangen« […]  "Die Zahl der wetterbedingten Todesfälle ist in den letzten hundert Jahren drastisch zurückgegangen, obwohl sich die Erde um 1,2 °C erwärmt hat; sie sind heute etwa 80-mal seltener als noch vor einem Jahrhundert. […]  Das liegt vor allem an der besseren Verfolgung von Stürmen, dem besseren Hochwasserschutz, der besseren medizinischen Versorgung und der verbesserten Widerstandsfähigkeit der Länder, die sich entwickelt haben. Ein aktueller UN-Bericht bestätigt den Trend der letzten zwei Jahrzehnte", Steven Koonin Anhand von drei existentiellen Bedrohungen stelle ich die Schwierigkeit dar, Risiken, Auswirkungen und Rankings zu beurteilen: Atomwaffen, Bevölkerungskollaps und Klimawandel. Welche Rolle spielen systemische Effekte? Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Bedrohungen, beziehungsweise sind einzelne Risiken als Folge anderer zu sehen? Wie damit umgehen? »Für jede mögliche Katastrophe gibt es mindestens eine plausible Kassandra. Nicht alle Prophezeiungen können beherzigt werden. In den letzten Jahren haben wir vielleicht zugelassen, dass ein Risiko - nämlich der Klimawandel - unsere Aufmerksamkeit von den anderen ablenkt«, Niall Ferguson Das Leben in einer modernen, komplexen Gesellschaft — im Anthropozän — hat positive Auswirkungen: wir sind weiter von der Natur entfernt, sind sicherer und haben einen viel höheren Lebensstandard als je zuvor. Wir sterben nicht mehr im Einklang mit der Natur, wie Hans Rosling es ausdrückte. Aber sie hat eben auch negative Auswirkungen, die leider existentielle Risiken darstellen können. Die Konzentration auf die Eindämmung eines einzigen Risikos (z. B. des Klimawandels) kann dazu führen, dass wir andere Risiken unterschätzen oder sogar  andere Risiken dramatisch erhöhen. »Wir sind immer gut vorbereitet auf die falsche Katastrophe. [...] Aber die Geschichte warnt uns, dass man nicht die Katastrophe bekommt, auf die man sich vorbereitet.«, Niall Ferguson Wie können wir aber mit einer Vielzahl an miteinander verknüpften Risiken umgehen? Was könnten wir unternehmen um unsere Gesellschaft in einem breiteren Sinne resilienter, widerstandsfähiger zu machen? Welche Fehler haben wir in der Covid-Pandemie gemacht und was können wir daraus lernen? Und nicht zuletzt — was ist die Liste der existentiellen Bedrohung in meiner Reihenfolge (die unbedingt kritisiert werden sollte!): Atomwaffen Natürliche oder künstlich erzeugte Pathogene Zusammenbruch kritischer Infrastrukturen (Energie, Finanz, IKT, ...) Solarer Supersturm (auch Carrington-Ereignis genannt) Außer Kontrolle geratene Automatisierung/Robotik ("AI", aber auf einer allgemeineren Ebene) Klimawandel (insbesondere für den Fall, dass Kipppunkte und ein unkontrollierbarer Klimawandel auftreten) Nanotechnologie oder andere Möglichkeiten zur drastischen Veränderung von Herstellung und Chemie, die zu Nanomaschinen führen Bevölkerungskollaps beziehungsweise starkes globales Ungleichgewicht Ökosystemkollaps mit »Domino-Effekten« Unbekannte Unbekannte (»Unknown unknowns«) Grüne Gentechnik die außer Kontrolle gerät Politischer/religiöser Extremismus Asteroideneinschlag auf der Erde Geoengineering (auch als Konflikt-Auslöser, -Verstärker) Diese Liste ist als Anregung gedacht, dieses Thema zu diskutieren. Ist die Reihenfolge richtig? Wahrscheinlich nicht. Fehlt etwas?  Die Kluft zwischen Nutzen und Katastrophe scheint durch moderne Technologie immer schärfer zu werden. Wir sind also gut beraten, diese Bedrohungen ernst zu nehmen. Aber um einen Punkt zu wiederholen: es ist ein großer Fehler, sich hauptsächlich auf eine Bedrohung in dieser Liste zu konzentrieren, welche auch immer das sein mag, und zu glauben, wir könnten so unser gesellschaftliches Risiko verringern. Das werden wir nicht.

Mario Noya nos recomienda un libro de Steven E. Koonin, exsubsecretario de Ciencia bajo la administración del presidente Obama.

In 2021, the physicist and New York University professor Steven E. Koonin, who served as undersecretary for science in the... The post The Shameless Attack on a Climate Change Dissenter appeared first on Reason.com.

You've heard the “facts” before: surging sea levels are inundating the coasts. Hurricanes and tornadoes are becoming fiercer and more frequent. Climate change will be an economic disaster. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading.  Newt's guest is Dr. Steven E. Koonin.  He served as the Undersecretary for Science in the U.S. Department of Energy under President Obama.  He is currently a professor at New York University in the Stern School of Business, Tandon School of Engineering and Department of Physics. His book: “Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters” is out now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steven E. Koonin is a theoretical physicist, professor, former Chief Scientist for the BP petroleum company, and former Under Secretary for Science at the U.S. Department of Energy under the Obama administration. He's also the author of "Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrf7_isQNr4 In episode 37 of the PetroNerds podcast, Trisha Curtis sits down with Steven E. Koonin, the author of "Unsettled."  Trisha and Steve discuss the premise of the book, the elevation of climate change in policy making, potential pitfalls in the data, and the controversial topic of understanding how much humans are influencing global warming and the certainty of that in the reports and analysis.  This is a frank discussion about the cost of the energy transition and the certainty or lack thereof that climate change is indeed a "code red for humanity."  This is a nerdy and controversial topic podcast filled with analysis and questions.  Steve and Trisha discuss the definitions of "climate" vs. "weather," the the importance of having a proper discussion and debate on how to address concerns about climate change and global warming, the ability to accurately model and have high degrees of certainty, grid reliability, the IEA's net zero by 2050 report, monetary policy, Xcel's shutting down of coal fired power plants and rate hikes, and Steve's comment that "net zero by 2050 is a fantasy."   This book is about "What Climate Science Tells Us, What it Doesn't, and Why It Matters." Steven is the former Undersecretary for Science at the US Department of Energy for the Obama Administration and the former Chief Scientist with BP.  This is timely, nerdy, and a must listen to episode of the PetroNerds podcast.

Popular and political discussions of the climate invariably invoke “The Science” as settled. But a careful reading of the research, literature, and government assessment reports shows a different picture. In this Federalist Society book event, Dr. Koonin will discuss his bestseller, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters. He will describe some of the surprises in the official science that he asserts belie the notion that the world has already broken the climate and faces certain doom unless we take prompt and drastic action. Dr. Koonin will also examine whether society's right to make fully informed decisions about climate and energy has been usurped in the assessment reports and media, and he will close with suggestions to improve the presentation of climate certainties and uncertainties to nonexperts. Finally, he will take audience questions. The event will be moderated by George Washington University Adjunct Professor of Economics Diana Furchtgott-Roth. Featuring: -- Dr. Steven E. Koonin, Author, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What it Doesn't, and Why it Matters; Professor, New York University -- Moderator: Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Adjunct Professor, George Washington University

Dr. Steven E. Koonin, former Undersecretary of Science in the US Department of Energy under President Obama, joins the Dom Giordano Program to discuss his new book, Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters. In the new book, Dr. Koonin, currently a professor at NYU, explores the misconceptions about climate science that have come to dominate headlines. In the release, Koonin dispels popular myths, unveils little-known truths, and offers facts about climate science that you aren't getting elsewhere. Also, Koonin and Giordano discuss the idea of using climate as a vehicle to move forward political rhetoric and as a political tool.
