Global Climate Destabilization

The course ME459  “Energy conversion” started like several of the courses I attended this term with a short introduction to climate change. Actually we were shown the not infamous Al Gorte film “An inconvenient truth” (which I happened to see the presentation in natura last year at EPFL). The special thing was only, that just after the film (the week after) we were shown another film “The Global Warming Swindle”. After having shown us that film, he asked, who believes in man made climate change – no one rised the hand, no one!

I went then googling the issue and found quite a bit of debate, where the film is shown not to have shown the truth.

Although Itold the teacher about the fact, he argued, that there would be again a response and so forth. However I personally believe and observed this not to be true.

Yesterday, when preparing fo  to prepare for the midterm ME459, where in the sample questions, there was a problem such as “give the most important argument in favor of and in contradiciton to man made Global Climate Change”. Well then I tried to figure out a serious argument “in contradiction of”, but I wasn’t able to get on.
So wait a second : the prof thinks there is some uncertainty in Man-made Global Climate Change! – Unbelievable for me.

Finally I saw the film, where somone does a simple economical analysis of cost and benefit for different scenarios – it’s amazing!
