The UN IPCC scientist Richard Courtney, consultant and is living in the UK consultant in the field of atmospheric sciences at page 224 of a report the U.S. Senate " U.S. Senate Report of More Than 700 Dissenting Scientists Over Man-Made Global Warming " to speak. The following is a commentary by Courtney.
with certainty and not with doubt - by Richard Courtney
I have no doubt and certainty.
I have assured them that a limit on the use of fossil fuels billion of people would kill. If you were to keep the use of fossil fuels at current levels, this would at least 2 billion people, cost the lives, mainly children under here. The reduction of fossil fuel use under the current level would be millions more, if not kill billions of people.
This is not an opinion. This is not a prediction. This is not a projection. It is an indisputable fact and I'll explain why.
The use of fossil fuels has brought the greatest benefit to mankind since the invention of agriculture.
Most of us would not be here today if the use fossil fuels would not have existed since all human activity made possible by the power supply and only limited by material science is.
The power supply allows the growth of crops, the creation of tools and their use for the extraction of minerals, construction, goods and services supply.
limited the materials science the potential use of energy. A plow blade steel is better than one made of wood. The etching of silicon allows us to produce reliable computers, etc.
people die without energy and the ability to use them. They die because of lack of food, shelter, clothing, protection to survive the forces of nature or the lack of heating facilities so as the cold, or to survive the lack of cooling by heat. They die from lack of medical care or transportation of goods and services from the point of production to the place where they are needed.
And people with a lack of energy are poor, so they die from pollution. For example, the traffic pollution has drastically reduced by the use of fossil fuels. On an average day in 1855, more than 50 tons of horse manure were only a street away from Oxford Street in London. The mess, the smell, the insects and diseases were all terrible. hung until 1900 in Great Britain from every ceiling of any room sticky paper in order to catch flies. Old buildings still have to remove Schuhabkratzer at their doors for at least some dirt from shoes before entering.
The abundance reduces pollution. Rich people can afford to waste water, toilets, clean water and clean air. For poor people there are more important things for which they have all that they have to spend in order to get it. So it is people with assets to reduce possible pollution, while others can not. The pollution in North America and Europe was in 1900 more than 2000 despite a much a much larger population in 2000. To the pollution, which is in the current period experienced daily by billions of people who do not have the wealth of Americans and Europeans, cooking in mud huts is using wood and dung as fuel, if they can not afford a fireplace.
The use of fossil fuels has caused the abundance of the developed world. Developing countries need this excess of the developed world, which currently is only possible with the use of fossil fuels.
We gained our wealth and our population through the use those assets.
The power supply was massively increased, as the higher energy density could be harnessed in fossil fuels through the use of steam engines. Animal power, wind power and solar power have been abandoned because the laws of physics that energy is not allowed to deliver so much energy, how much can be gained easily from fossil fuels.
The greater energy enabled people to live longer and exploded humanity. Our world population has now exceeded limit of 6.6 billion people and continues to grow. Allen estimates to be the height of the world population mid Century amounted to 9 billion.
These 2 billion additional people in the next few decades will need additional energy to survive. The only way to provide this additional energy at the present time, the nuclear energy and fossil fuels. And the use of nuclear energy is limited because some activities are difficult to be carried out by energy from the outlet. (If anyone doubts this, I tell him to even ask a farmer how his production would look like if he had to replace his tractor by a horse or an electric scooter.)
It is therefore so that the use of fossil kill fuels at the current level for at least 2 billion people would, most of them children. And a reduction in the use of fossil fuels would kill millions more people, if not billions.
The improvement of energy efficiency will bring about a solution, because they - as confirmed by numerous studies - since 19 Century knows that better energy efficiency increases the energy consumption.
