Kim Stanley Robinson On Google and Climate Change


 
   

Google Tech TalksDecember, 11 2007ABSTRACTAs part of our SciFoo Campers @Google Tech Talk series, acclaimed author Kim Stanley Robinson will share his thoughts on climate change in what promises to be an insightful and provocative hour.The recent IPCC and UN reports on climate change make it clear that weface an imminent environmental crisis, and that there is an urgent needto decarbonize our civilization as rapidly as possible. Robinson willdiscuss strategies for accomplishing this, focusing on socialquestions, cleaner energy and transport, mission architectures,possibilities of geo-engineering, and the important role that Googlecan have in all these as world leader in information technologies. Asin his novels, Robinson will attempt to synthesize the Big Picturewhile also making specific suggestions for action now.Speaker: Kim Stanley RobinsonKim Stanley Robinson is a Californian science fiction writer bestknown for his Mars trilogy, Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars. Hehas recently published the last volume of his Climate Trilogy, FortySigns of Rain, Fifty Degrees Below, and Sixty Days and Counting. He istwo-time winner of both the Nebula and the Hugo Awards, and wasselected by the U.S. National Science Foundation to go to Antarctica aspart of its Antarctic Artists and Writers Program, which resulted inhis novel Antarctica, a precursor to his Climate Trilogy. He lives inDavis, and has enjoyed a couple of previous visits to the Googleplex.

Ice at the South Pole increased by 30% this year, as the world cooled fro tthe thrid year running. Nuclear power smashed their way through the Northern passage using an ice breaker. They always could of, this is not evidence of warming! More plants grow in the warm, and they take in CO2, so more CO2 = more life.

But when you go to North Pole the Northern passage is now year round and the Russian coast is passable all year. Go there before you trust any info! carbon tax is $ nothing more. Water vapour is up one of the largest contributors to warming. Mars polar caps are going fast as well, solar heating out of our control.

A tax theory which is unproven, moisture is far more a contributor than Co2 which plants absorb. Canadians also discovered clouds with snow falling via LIDAR so are cars warming Mars? and melting the remaining surface ice as seen since '96? Proof before stiffling 3rd world progress which we have already benefitted from. Where is the North pole ice on Google Maps Google? LOL!

'Climate change' is fatal ficiton from nuclear power: You are their stooge.

It makes sense to re-examine what a digital democracy would look like. The wisdom of the people is only as wise as the technology used to gather that wisdom. Companies like Google who power over knowledge at the global scale have the responsibility to efficiently organize collective knowledge to where it can be redily utilized.

According to New Scientist, the world is cooling: Explain.
sydneydoc (December 31, 1969 at 5:59 pm)
If you plot the past 7 years, you will see a clear cooling trend ... and of course no temp increase since 1998 ... despite what the models forecast for this period !!Why doesn't the IPCC 2007 report show temps for the past decade ?? (Anyone who claims that it does should quote a reference page number !)
JonThm (December 31, 1969 at 5:59 pm)
There is only 0.00037% CO2 in the globla air: But nuclear power wants new plants of death. But the wordl has been cooling since 2005.

the audio quality in this video is absolutely horribly google needs to stop mangling sound, it absolutely disgusting

There are no academic members of teh IPCC anymore. It is there to do nuclear PR.
