MY BLOGGING 

I started this weblog on 30th October 2007. It comprises my ideas comments and opinions about energy, environmental problems and other matters that crop up in the news. I shall try to write a new post every day.

Comments are welcomed. Comments are only edited if they contain inappropriate language or offensive material. When editing comments I ensure that the substance of them is kept.

 If you want to use a nom de plume that’s fine by me; I will never reveal your email address or pass it on to anyone; I take the view that if you make a comment you are doing just that, not creating a marketing opportunity, so I shall respect your privacy, although I do reserve the right to freely comment on your comment.

I read every comment posted on the blog.

I try to be as accurate as possible, but I am not a journalist, so when i comment on a topic I am basing my comments on the fact that most reputable journals and broadcast media try to be accurate. You will from time to time find factual inaccuracies; if you do please post a comment, so that we all may learn from you.

Most of the entries will be about environmental matters, particularly microgenration and government policy. We do need to change government policy and the ideas that I set out may, I hope, bring about a change for the better. I shall also occasionally write about law and justice. It is inevitable that my writings touch upon politics. I do not support any political party. That said, I believe that democracy freedom and justice are essential to life.

You will find out many of my ideas in “the Energy Age” and you can follow the link to Amazon or the link to Genersys to find out more. In the Energy Age I analysed energy and suggested four principles relating to its use. I think it is very important to work from fundemental principles; we do not have to applaud success measured in monetary units. We have to applaud those who act from principles, fundamental principles, even where they might be very unpopular.

I am very happy if you want to link to my blog, or quote or publish extracts from it provided that the meaning is not distorted, without seeking specific permission, provided that you credit me with the quotation. If you want to publish a whole article from my blog please contact me. I would normally be pleased to give permission, as the whole point of the blog is to get my views across and get reactions from readers, which will help me develop and refine and improve my ideas.

I hope that this weblog will also prove a useful resource for those looking into renewable energy and its environmental effects. The search facility or the tags and headings can be used to see the various posts on a topic.

I am now providing the sources of information that I have used, but as I do not want the log to read like an academic treatise if you feel you need information about my facts or if you wish to challenge assertion or if you can augment or add some facst of which I am unaware please post a comment on the relevant blog and I will do my best to provide the information promptly.

I assert copyright as author in the contents of my writings that appear in this blog.

  1. Is climate change really a self evident truth or just another big lie?

  2. It’s neither; its scientific probability is around 85%

  6. Thank you, Robert, for your interest in looking at my idea of polar cities, what I refer to as Arctopia. I don’t know how it will pan out, or if it will ever come to be, and I hope we never need them, the point is to take action now, here and now, but I fear we humans cannot and will not make the changes necessary to stop global warming, and drip by drip, over the next 300-500 years, a Mad Max scenario will unfold. Sadly. Sigh. So any fresh perspective you can put on my idea of polar cities, after looking at the images online, will be welcome. I am the only person promoting the idea of polar cities now, what I call a non-threatening thought experiment, but my goal is to gather a global team of insightful minds to plan, design and prebuild polar cities for the far distant future. It all begins now, while we still have time and fuel and transport and leisure time to think about these things. In the far distant future, things might become very hairy indeed!

    Btw, in case you have not seen this, there is a very good public blog at the New York Times run by climate reporter Andrew Revkin, and his blog is daily with comments open to the public, and in two months since opening, he now gets about 100 comments per post, and you should come over and join the comments section. I think your insights will be valuable.

    It so happens that I’m just increasing my ‘blog speed’ because I’ve organised an event for Dr. Yunus on the occasion of his latest book “Creating a World without Poverty - Social Business and the Future of Capitalism”.
