Last month, in an interview with James Kanter of The Times and International Herald Tribune, the new head of the energy agency, Maria van der Hoeven, discussed one point made in the report today — that concerns raised by the damage to the Fukushima Daiichi power plant could continue to dampen expansion of nuclear power and
add to the challenge of avoiding a big accumulation of
carbon dioxide, saying: «Such a
reduction would certainly make it more difficult for the world to meet the goal of stabilizing the rise in temperature to 2 degrees Centigrade.»
The
added carbon dioxide will of course keep absorbing in the IR but it can not cause the greenhouse effect that IPCC calculates for it because the
reduction of water vapor I referred to cancels it out.
The
added carbon dioxide of course will continue to absorb but the
reduction of water vapor will keep total absorption constant and as a result this absorption by CO2 is unable to cause any warming.
According to the «Saturated Greenhouse Effect», a controversial theory developed by Hungarian physicist Ferenc M. Miskolczi,
adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere will result in a
reduction -LSB-...]
The
reduction in emissions of
carbon dioxide per new unit of non-hydro «renewable» capacity falls off rapidly as additional «renewable» capacity is
added to an electric grid because additional fossil fuel sources must be kept in «spinning reserve» in case the wind dies or the sun goes under a cloud unless hydro is available.
The
added carbon dioxide will of course keep absorbing in the IR but simultaneous
reduction of water vapor will keep the total absorption constant and no greenhouse warming is possible.
