Green Grahamstown: May 2014
http://www.green-grahamstown.org/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 6, 2014. One of the arguments against rapid deployment of renewable energy is cost. Renewable technologies over time become cheaper as R&D improves; fossil fuels on the other hand become more expensive as they deplete. Eventually we will reach a point when fossil fuels will become too expensive and at that point, so the argument goes, the market will fix the problem. The difficulty with that argument is that the longer we wait, the more installed infrastructure there is to replace. What that...

Green Grahamstown: Climate Change: Models and Proofs
http://www.green-grahamstown.org/2014/09/climate-change-models-and-proofs.html
Wednesday, September 3, 2014. Climate Change: Models and Proofs. Every now and then I still run into the argument that climate science is far from settled, that we cannot rely on the fact that the vast majority of scientists in the field are in fundamental agreement and that “real” science requires proof. Models, people taking this view, are imperfect, and not “real” science, which is not a popularity poll. Let’s examine how science actually works. First, what is a model? How do we determine if a model i...

Green Grahamstown: July 2015
http://www.green-grahamstown.org/2015_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 7, 2015. Unearthed – Movie Review. A South African documentary about fracking (not to be confused with a 2007 horror movie of the same title) is showing at the 2015 National Arts Festival in Grahamstown. I saw it at 10:00 am Tuesday 7 July; I recommend trying to catch it if you missed the first showing. I have seen a fair amount of material about fracking, attended protests, and so on. And one thing always strikes me. Fracking has a bad name. Just a few higlights:. Politicians and industry ...
