Many believe sustainable funds cannot include fossil fuel companies, highlighting a lack of understanding. Young investors are more skeptical of greenwashing practices by financial institutions. The Financial Conduct Authority is set to bring in new anti-greenwashing rules later this year, but the research found only 10 percent of investors were aware of the new rules. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/59-of-Investors-Concerned-About-Greenwashing-in-Financial-Industry.html Edited March 14 by Eyes Wide Open 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ecocharger + 1,460 DL March 14 The IEA is now acknowledging the reality of the markets, that oil is going up in demand and in price. Biden's own agency is now open to the truth. https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/IEA-Sees-OPEC-Cuts-Pushing-Oil-Markets-Into-a-Supply-Deficit.html "The IEA also raised its 2024 outlook on global oil demand growth, by 110,000 barrels per day (bpd) from the February report. The Paris-based agency revised up its demand growth projection to 1.3 million bpd for 2024, compared to 1.2 million bpd expected in last month’s report. The reasons for the IEA’s upward revision to demand are an improved outlook for U.S. oil demand, and higher demand for bunker fuel use, due to the trade flow disruptions in the Red Sea, which have made many vessel operators to opt for the longer route between Europe and Asia via the Cape of Good Hope in Africa."

Ecocharger + 1,460 DL March 14 13 hours ago, TailingsPond said: The paper you like to post clearly says they are attempting to simplify the model. You are arguing for both simplification and increased sophistication. Pick one. Simplification means including all of the relevant variables in a comprehensive set of calculations, not ignoring some major variables because it is too difficult to construct a proper model. The problem with many standard climate models is ignoring the difficult variables and using a defective model. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ecocharger + 1,460 DL March 14 12 hours ago, TailingsPond said: Darwin had plenty of money, the book publishing cost far less than the cost of the 5 year trip. Quality researchers have grants, and make good money themselves. The cost of publication is trivial compared to how much the organization paid for the researches salary, lab equipment, etc. I assure you if you write a paper that is anywhere close to good enough to get in Nature you don't have to worry about a few thousand bucks, somebody will give you lots of money as it brings prestige to the organization. They generally increase your research group funding as well. Do you have any idea how expensive scientific research is? Our lab spent about 1,000,000 CND between salaries and operating expenses, not including capital purchases. A single GC-MS-MS can run well over $300,000. Climate researchers spend big money on supercomputers and the electricity they need. It is beyond silly to think a few thousand in publication expenses is relevant. PS The large hadron collider was almost 5 billion dollars. James Webb telescope was also about 10 billion. Science is expensive. Your point is? The complaint that Coe and his group may have paid for publication costs is not a serious complaint, it appears to be a standard practice in the science journal trade. That was the point.

It would be lauded, but it is not. Heck, Coe still hasn't even earned a PhD. If this paper was any good he would have earned a PhD. https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-coe-7a042b129/ Do you think Einstein was a crappy scientist because his work is referenced far and wide? That is the logic you are using, if ignored means it's good then fame and awards must mean it is bad. https://researchguides.uic.edu/c.php?g=252299&p=1683205 No, that is not the criterion for an important article...in this case no one has attempted to refute the calculations made of the greenhouse gas components, that was the heart of the article. And those calculations indicate that CO2 is not a significant contributor to climate change. You can be sure that this article is well known and no challenge yet appeared.
