Energy & Environmental Newsletter: December 23, 2019

By -- December 23, 2019

The Alliance for Wise Energy Decisions (AWED) is an informal coalition of individuals and organizations interested in improving national, state, and local energy and environmental policies. Our premise is that technical matters like these should be addressed by using Real Science (please consult WiseEnergy.org for more information).

A key element of AWED’s efforts is public education. Towards that end, every three weeks we put together a newsletter to balance what is found in the mainstream media about energy and the environment. We appreciate MasterResource for their assistance in publishing this information.

Some of the more important articles in this issue are:

    Would it be possible to get hard copies of articles in this issue that will not show the advertisements between the paragraphs? Is there a charge, and what would the cost be to a subscriber?
    I tried to cut and paste but could not avoid the advertisements.

    The irony is that CO2 has no significant effect on climate.
    Simple calculations using data from Hitran show water vapor is 37+ times more effective than CO2 at ground level warming. Added cooling by increased CO2 well above the tropopause counters and perhaps exceeds the tiny added warming from more CO2 at ground level.
    Measured water vapor trend has been increasing faster than possible from feedback. https://watervaporandwarming.blogspot.com
