Energy – September, 2023

The climate crisis is often seen as the root cause of many global issues, such as the persistent problem of malaria in Africa, despite its existence for over a century. Read Manuela Andreoni's article below on the subject!

Humankind has never been better at fighting diseases. Researchers are coming up with new vaccines and treatments at an astounding speed.

But climate change is making public health gains a lot harder to achieve and undoing some of the world’s hard-earned progress.


Consider the mosquito, which kills more humans than any other creature.

Until very recently, fatalities from malaria, which is spread by mosquitoes, were on the decline. The widespread use of insecticides and bed nets had brought the number of deaths from malaria down to fewer than 600,000 in 2021, according to the World Health Organization, from roughly 900,000 in 2000.


But climate change has expanded the warm areas where the most dangerous species of mosquitoes, those that carry deadly diseases, can breed. As a result of those factors, and also because of the rapid evolution of mosquitoes, malaria deaths are once again on the rise, as my colleague Stephanie Nolen, The Times’s global health reporter, writes in an 
astounding new series about the insects and all the ways we have to fight them.

Not to mention the Heat Deaths in Europe, if you look at historical death rates in Europe, it takes some good analysis to find the 60’000 next to Covid, but in todays world ideologues feed on the title?

Meat Eater and Cows, but also Onion Soup should be banned as it causes Methan in Human? Are we seeing a cultural revolution in the idea that it will save the planet and all animals no longer have to fear being slaughtered but enjoy a pet life. Yeah, all of them but the Methan producers, they must be made extinct? How about starting in New York, eliminating all Rats? Or perhaps a better way to keep the Milk, Butter and Cheese from Dairy’ Farm, manage the Cow stuff, better than Windmills? Here is a Report (in German) for the future of eating, and note Venture Capital makes more Money here than with Cows? 


One way to handle the problem is through anaerobic digestion of manure stored in closed vessels. The captured methane can be used to generate heat and electricity. The 7,000+ dairy and swine operations in the U.S. could generate enough electricity to power nearly 600,000 homes annually, preventing the release of 1.3 million tons of methane into the atmosphere 


Where did all the Money go, hopefully Lithium Batteries are the future for a long time. Here you can check the current and future Investments. 


After people have trumpeted for Solar and Wind Energy, they now start to realize that Climate might be changeable, but the Weather so we have only Sunny and Windy days? And at the same time lament about receding Ground Water and Snowfall, at least temporarily. So, a new Buzzword to save the Planet has to be invented, Geothermal Energy. It is astonishing as we can drill Water well as deep as we like that we had to wait for Fracking technologies to find heat in the Ground. 


States like California are increasingly desperate for clean energy sources that can run at all hours. While wind and solar power are growing fast, they rely on fossil fuels like natural gas for backup when the sun sets and wind fades. Finding a replacement for gas is an acute climate challenge, and geothermal is one of the few plausible options.


“Geothermal has historically been overlooked,” Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, said at a hearing. But with innovation, she added, “the potential is out there, I think, that’s pretty extraordinary.”


Manufactured Climate Crisis? More and more voices start to question the hype especially considering the sources such as the UN, WEF and some Hedge Funds, changing their funding sources from fossil to renewable. Here some
content and here the voice behind it, and here the religious opinion. See level raising, The remaining or 60%,  percentage was caused by natural wind-driven ocean circulation unique to the Southeast and Gulf Coast, the researchers found. So when a Glacier in Switzerland reduces about 10% - they never tell you that in relation to Sea Level change, maybe a fraction of a millimeter? 


Don’t get me wrong here, all about sustainability but decisions made in panic mode usually do not have a good outcome, Al Gore gave us Swim Vest in 2000, the planet will survive him.

Celebrating 250 years of the Army with a Parade , makes President Trump a King ? You can certainly debate if it is a good Idea, but a King, that is then called a Stratocracy , but calling Trump a Stratocrat, probably never heard.  Healthy again, well the US is probably the most obese country on the planet, and the most drug users at the same time, this is prescription only, not speaking of illegal drug, or over the counter. So give the administration some credit for cleaning out the pharmaceutical lobbyists in the vaccine advisory Group and get some independent and medical experts to decide. The new global order, with President Trump leaving the G7 summit early, without a clear statement, and a failed attempt to reinstate the G-8; (Russia is excluded since 2022) the G 6 without the US are trying their own power play with the new German Chancellor as the face and spokesperson , representing Canada and Europe, in an attempt to ridicule their standing and strengthen the BRIC coalition. Perhaps they took their advice from the Bilderberg community. But Merz, to keep his standing in Germany, must distance himself from Trump, as Trump is a person non grata in Germany . As of today, the Bilderberg Group is holding a conference at the "Grand Hôtel" in Stockholm. Under high security precautions, the elite circle has rented the entire hotel until June 15. In the German-speaking press, the discreet Bilderberg meeting has so far been remarked: nothing! The list of participants includes around 140 high-ranking personalities. Mark Rutte, (NATO Secretary General), Lars Klingbeil (Vice-Chancellor Germany), Julia Klöckner (President of the Bundestag), Christopher Donahue (US General, Commander US Army Europe and Africa), Samuel Paparo (US Admiral, Commander US Indo-Pacific Command), Albert Bourla (Chairman Pfizer), Richard Moore (Chief of British Intelligence), Sophie Wilmès (Vice-President of the EU Parliament) and numerous other actors from politics, business, science and the media will confer under strict Secrecy about big politics.

As a continuation of the summit in Helsinki , the following conference that included Presidents Bush and Gorbachev took place in November 1990 in Paris. The conference included 34 nations, each a part of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) . The conference resulted in the signing of the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty by members of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The states of the CSCE also made arrangements to hold similar high-level political meetings regularly to build upon efforts to prevent conflict, control arms, and safeguard elections within these countries. [4] Netanyahu, Israel’s Premier, invokes the Old Testament—an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Since Israel and its supporters portray it as the homeland of Jesus, perhaps the phrase love your enemies was forgotten when the British mandate over Palestine expired and the State of Israel was born—with official recognition from both the U.S. and USSR. With the latest escalation in the conflict and a vow to eliminate Hamas , it appears that the escalation includes the elimination of Gaza . Those unable to flee are seemingly treated as legitimate targets in what some interpret as a strategy to clear the territory for Israeli expansion. What about Trump’s plan to buy the territory and rebuild? That would involve resettling many refugees, but is that worse than killing them? Trump is turning his focus to the broader Middle East , aiming to unite the “non-violent” actors and build a peace coalition, thereby restraining Iran’s allies (presumed to have UN protection), who are often seen as the root of instability. So why are evangelicals supporting the violence —alongside the Jewish elite— while the Left and Europe begin to reconsider their stance ? Are all Palestinians terrorists? What is the true meaning of “from the River to the Sea” —a call for democracy or a religious conflict between Islam and Christianity? And then there’s the UN, watching? And the new Pope, pleading for aid —but peace talks? Only Trump? Shortly after his inauguration, Chancellor Merz made his mark on German politics by deploying permanent troops to Lithuania— you be the judge —possibly to support allies under the guise of protection. His actions won’t help global stability, and insiders in Germany do not dismiss the possibility of aggression reminiscent of WWII, now reframed under the narrative that Russia is the enemy. He will certainly support Zelensky unconditionally, using the war as justification to rebuild EU military strength. European Union leaders concluded a busy defense-focused week by endorsing a landmark plan to unlock €800 billion ($866 billion) in European military spending—though internal political divisions remain. Nelson Mandela, upon becoming South Africa’s president, emphasized moving forward together—not retaliating for the past. One reason for his divorce was reportedly that his wife had a more radical, vengeance-driven outlook, which he believed was incompatible with building a democratic society. Yes, apartheid was real, but reversing the oppression with retribution only prolongs emotional wounds. One has to ask what is just . Perhaps Trump has a point— crime is rampant . But of course, there are always two sides to a story .
