Warnings about climate change and ideas for his absence there is a dime a dozen. The new book, CONVENIENT MYTHS provides information on the current views, political interests and expectations and prospects for the future realization of these green ideas ". Raised in Germany and living in Canada Author, Dr. Klaus LE Kaiser, clearly shows what theoretical and practicable and what ideas belong to our myth. Kaiser's loose style makes the book refreshing and easy to read. CONVENIENT MYTHS, divided into 17 chapters, is a clear presentation on the subject Planet Earth, volcanoes, climate, oceans, fresh water, air, energy, motors, food, sun, weather, and various diseases, such. As cancer. Important parts of the book describe the influence of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and water vapor in the air, the energy production from wind and solar radiation, from the oceans, (tides, waves and osmosis), energy storage (eg batteries), the consumption of energy (in cars and light), as well as to basic physical and chemical processes. The chapter "The Greatest Myth" is on the role of governments and the media, as they are, and where they show a defect from the point of view of the author's. A more appropriate paragraph says: It is as much Surprising as disconcerting to see, how little interest there is in basic fact finding by politicians. Instead, They rely on claims by industries, reports in the media, statements by non-government Organizations, movies, and the like. There is a definite lack of "due diligence." In other words, it lacks readings independent "won. The larger chapters "climate" clearly shows that is expelled in large quantities from the volcanoes of the Earth, the carbon dioxide (CO2), widely proclaimed as the cause of climate change. A fact that of the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and authors like Al Gore is suppressed. Likewise z. B. with regard to the fairy tale about the extinction of polar bears. Supposedly there due to a climate change the risk of their extinction, such as the World Wildlife Fund and similar organizations claim. The fact that hundreds of bears are killed by hunters each year is, in Kaiser's book illustrates and occupied. Kaiser describes the main influences on the Earth's climate and its orders of magnitude relative to each other: the carbon dioxide content of the air is irrelevant in this regard. Methane and water vapor are the main factors that determine our climate. In this context, the daily measurements of the extent of the ice surface in the Arctic is of interest. Despite the widespread view that the ice cap soon disappear, the measurements do not show it. On the contrary, the beginning of April 2010, the ice surface in the Arctic was larger than in the past eight years at the same time! Alternative energy sources such as electricity from wind, solar, ocean tides, and so are many places encouraged, ie subsidized by taxes. These energy sources are therefore not "free", as is often assumed. On the contrary, when the sun shines or the wind blows, and such energy is obtained, the conventional power generator must remain in standby position in the event of falling asleep from wind and disappearance of the sun; but their operating costs still exist and need to be pay full price by the consumer, in addition to the higher production costs of such alternative energy. The chapter "Ocean Energy" describes the Energiegwinnung from the oceans, from the use of tidal and wave energy for new osmosis system, currently examined in Norway tentatively. This system is the inverse of the other places used "Reverse Osmosis" process for the production of fresh water from Salzwasser.Ähnlich it is with electric cars. You are on the rise, it is generally. Kaiser, however, shows that the energy density in conventional as well as newer batteries by one to two orders of magnitude below that of gasoline. Therefore, he thinks that electric cars, at least until the development of batteries with much higher energy density, no solid future have. Another major chapter describes the influence of the widely spread green ideas to the Lens means production and marketing. From the use of pesticides the farmer, to chemicals for the preservation, Kaiser identifies key principles and their side effects. "Organic" products are generally in demand, but the ideas about what this word means, vary greatly. Kaiser's book is peppered with easily accessible Internet references to the data, thus well tracked. In brief, CONVENIENT MYTHS is a compelling work. It is both intelligible, as also shown in sufficient detail. This book should be available in any good library. As Commissioner of the US Energy Savings program and Mitgeburtshelfer of today's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate (see book The Lie of climate catastrophe ") I may express myself, if there is on the subject of climate catastrophe to say something. I'm telling you: This lesenswerte earned 5 stars. And now you get down to reading.
