Windows on the World filmed at The Dawn of Truth Conference 8-9th September 2016. The participants of the conference will be featured in future videos. Here is our first video from the conference  Banned Climate Conference Goes Ahead. The show covers the political agenda behind the problems with getting the conference on and the specialities of some of the participants. The WOTW site posts articles from the Geoethics group and does regular interviews with members. Here is an interview on Sea Levels with Nils-Axl Morner. The interview is about the “managed retreat” of coastal communities on the back of sea level rise projections. Nils offers the solution in Law to the village of Fairbourne in Wales. These  videos and our whole archive are also available on our You Tube Channel

The global climate change (or global warming, GW) is in progress, closely analogously to several other – eventually also much more violent – documented occurrences reported during the long history of the Earth. At present, the demographic expansion – altogether with the ever increasing energy demand – make humankind to be an unprecedented driving factor in the “climate” system. The consequent pollution has certainly to be suitably taken into account as an important aspect in climatology. However, contrary to a well known and often strongly claimed warning, no objective evidence seems to support the hypothesis of any leading role of CO2. Other drivers, which are essentially independent of the humans, certainly play a paramount and most relevant role. The very recent maps of the CO2 planetary distribution provided by the NASA satellite OCO2 give an unexpected clear support for the inferences of a major contribution from sub-surface degassing as further discussed in a recent paper by Gregori (New Concept in Global Tectonics, vol. 3, no. 4, 2015).
