marklynas.orgKyoto Plan B? 11 December 03
With Kyoto still stuck in limbo whilst the Russians ponder over their vodka whether or not to ratify, the thoughts of many in Milan and elsewhere are what alternatives exist on the table. One of these is ‘contraction and convergence’, today given a glowing review in a new New Scientist article. I asked Elliot Morley, the UK environment minister, in a press conference today whether he supported the idea, and he answered that it was an “attractive philosophy” that he was “keeping an open mind” about. Intriguing.

There has been numerous articles and letters written on the famous hockey-stick graph, all showing flaws, errors and pure guesses. Sadly, they seem to have less impact because of their non-catastrophic content. The boring truth is that there is no sientific evidence for any unnaturral temperature variations or any long-term temperature rise at all. On the contrary, there is nothing contradicting that we may approach a cooler period. I don´t say, however, that we should not do anything about our environmental problems. Quite the opposite. But put the resources where they make a difference!
(There are various boring explanations why the glaciers melt, none of them needs the catastrophic perspective. Some glaciers do not melt, they grow. This is of course not interesting).
