#Chapter three brave new world summary free

Maybe hold off geoengineering for a year or two just yet as it might be unnecessary if nuclear war breaks out bringing on a big freeze. Who knows what the world will be like in 50 or 100 or maybe 1,000 years from now. Can’t see any alternative even though it was mentioned in the interview that geoengineering is not intended to cover-up the effects of burning fossil fuels but I can’t see all that cheap energy be left just lying around. Can see poorer industrialising countries doing it after they have industrialised (thinking of COP 22 and India). Democracy was mentioned but that is a messy subject. This is probably already done but not stated explicitly. Wonder why data from actual volcanic eruptions can’t be used. Small scale or short term issues well addresses. Thought partway through that the problem is that there is only one world we can play around with. Keith, let’s hope that the current times quickly pass (not in the sense of forgetting, but improvement!). is really important, and even though I am a physicists and work with this stuff/think about this stuff, there is so much I don’t understand/know.Īnyway, just wanted to say a big “thank you” again to you Marks and Mr. I think the subject of electrical power transmission, transformation, generation etc.

One example I asked myself this morning: why do transmission towers (Freileitungsmasten) look the way they do? Why can’t we just hang more cables on the existing ones, they look so big, there is so much free space? But I think about a deep dive into the technical details on these technologies. I am not thinking about a new ‘climate podcast’ where the chances and problems of hydrogen are discussed in 30 minutes, we got plenty of these. Just a thought: maybe the current situation can be used to deeply dive into the technical aspects on some of the ‘green technologies’ to get us off gas, coal and oil. I look forward to all new episodes, and I appreciate your efforts especially in these harsh times. However, remember all the good things that life brings up, your podcast being one of these good things.

Markus, I deeply understand your current frustration and mood concerning the war in Ukraine, I have a hard time motivating myself in the morning to go to work and think about “trivial” thing like engineering or running a company etc. Unfortunately, the sound quality made it really difficult at certain points (I had to rewind several times), but thank you Markus for still making the content available. I tremendously enjoyed the contents of this episode, as you not only covered the technical questions, but also the further implications and ethical questions about solar geoengineering. First of all, thank you for yet another great episode of Omega-Tau.
