It's been just a few days since a forum
leak gave us new information about the upcoming Toyota Supra, and the Japanese firm released the first official teaser
picture of the
car.
-- Muller believes humans are changing climate with CO2 emissions — humans have been responsible for «most»
of a 0.4 C warming since 1957, almost none
of the warming before then — IPCC is in trouble due to sloppy science, exaggerated predictions; chairman will have to resign — the «Climategate» mails were not «hacked» — they were «
leaked» by an insider — due to «hide the decline» deception, Muller will not read any future papers by Michael Mann — there has been no increase in hurricanes or tornadoes due to global warming — automobiles are insignificant in overall
picture — China is the major CO2 producer, considerably more than USA today — # 1 priority for China is growth
of economy — global warming is not considered important — China CO2 efficiency (GDP per ton CO2) is around one - fourth
of USA today, has much room for improvement — China growth will make per capita CO2 emissions at same level as USA today by year 2040 — if it is «not profitable» it is «not sustainable» — US energy future depends on shale gas for automobiles; hydrogen will not be a factor — nor will electric
cars, due to high cost — Muller is upbeat on nuclear (this was recorded pre-Fukushima)-- there has been no warming in the USA — Muller was not convinced
of Hansen's GISS temperature record; hopes BEST will provide a better record.
