Electric Anarchy
Imagine you had demanded world leaders 10 years ago to stop using fossil fuels in 11 years. You would have been laughed out of the room. Everyone was aware that life without fossils would not be possible or conceivable. They…
Category Fear of CO2
They fear the air now. Not the smog of real pollution or the sulfur of industrial abuse — but the very breath of life: carbon dioxide. One carbon, two oxygen, and suddenly it’s the new Satan. The original green molecule — invisible, essential, ancient — recast as a planetary threat by people who wouldn’t know a photosynthetic cycle if it bit them in the ethics.
Aeraphobia is the irrational terror of atmospheric balance. It’s what happens when a civilization forgets it’s part of nature and starts treating nature as a hostile force to be regulated, taxed, and scrubbed. CO₂ — lifeblood of the biosphere, enabler of crops, forests, coral, plankton — is now hunted like a fugitive. Not because it kills, but because it dares to exist.
This section dismantles the dogma. It peels back the hysteria, the virtue-signaling, the corporate profiteering, and the policy theater that turned a trace gas into a global moral panic. I don’t write this to defend emissions — I write it to defend proportion, logic, and the kind of clarity that once kept us from eating our own tail.
Who stole my dreams
About 24% of the world’s population are children. This means that we have a little less than 2 billion of them on this planet. Not all grow up and live under the same circumstances though. The UN says that 820…
The Holy Church of Climatology
In May 1969, almost exactly 50 years ago, the Soviet space program made history. The planetary exploration probe Venera 5 sent a lander into the atmosphere of the planet Venus. It was not the first such lander as they tried…
The gas of life and the climate
I was a bookish child. While others honed their skills on the round leather, I devoured encyclopedias. You read right. I thought I had to read a certain number of pages from the biggest encyclopedia daily. One day, I would…
What is Temperature
I was 18 years old when Robin Williams hit my awareness level with “Good Morning Vietnam”. He was an instant superstar, not only for me. At the time we still had to go fetch clunky VHS videotapes. That’s a plastic…
The book of Elon
So, Elon has announced what he wants Tesla to do over the next years in his new strategic plan. Plus he has shown us that solar roofs can be sexy. And Tesla’s planned takeover of Solar City shall give his…
Jogging on a clogged street – no more dangerous than jogging in a mountain village
Joggers know the problem. Every time you jog close to a road with a little more traffic than just an occasional vehicle, an eerie feeling creeps up on you. All this exhaust from the vehicles can sure be no good…
DieselGate – why the US drew first blood and how to get out
No matter how many years I blasted the message to the world, nothing got people’s attention on the shortcomings of diesel as a fuel better than the wave of excitement on Volkswagen cheating in the US. To be sure, Volkswagen…
Fighting the wrong war
It’s a staple of the green movement. CO2 is bad for the planet. It causes global warming and will eventually make us fry in hell. Behold Venus. This has been conventional wisdom since I can think – at least since…
Are diesel emissions a human rights violation?
The European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) was born on September 3rd 1953. It took a rather long time from then until it became an integral part of various national laws but today citizens of most European countries can directly…
