We want to bring to attention, the reality of climate changes that will be brought out by use of
non-fossil fuels for which very minimal information exists in the present day. Worldwide control of
carbon dioxide as a pollutant is not based on sound pollution control and energy conversion
principles. The control imposition attempted worldwide affecting the livelihood and economy of
several industries is not warranted in order to displace existing industries for a continued healthy
growth. Such geoengineering and total changes will not solve the perceived climate change control by
substitution by so called little or no fossil fuels. In this opinion we want to bring to attention climate
changes that will be brought out by use of non-fossil fuels for which very minimal information exists
in the present day.
It is the human energy conversions into electricity and appliances and industrial plants that
are run using that electricity is a major component causing hot air rising into atmosphere leading to
Global Anthropogenic Warming (GAW) temperature anomaly compared to the preindustrial
conditions, and a modeled base average. This heating of the air is partly moderated by the
evaporative cooling over the ocean surface and by energy consuming evapo transpiration of plants
during photosynthesis. We are not going to stop this GAW by switching over to renewable energy
sources - such as biomass, solar, wind or hydro from fossil fuel sources. Simple example is - summer
cooling of a house with an air conditioner unit running on solar panel or wind power electricity, or
even a futuristic mini-distributed-nuclear power [22 nd plus century] will heat up the ambient air to the
same extent as the unit running on electricity from a coal or gas powered utility. The wire does not
care where the electrons come from. These non-carbon based energy conversions will not release
carbon dioxide, but they will continue the production of hot air and related increase in water vapor.
Neelameggham and Davis, notes the following in their 21st Century Global Anthropogenic
warming convective model, published in the Journal of Nanomaterials and energy, Dec. 2015. The
energy conversions into different forms, following conversions to such as electricity, are independent
of the fuel or alternative energy used in the process. These conversions end up in hot airas part of
conservation of energy. Present correlations will become obsolete in explaining atmospheric
temperature variations when more and more renewable energy is used to create electricity. The effect
of this thermal waste stored in the atmosphere when partly moderated by evaporative cooling can lead
to climate change as excess precipitation, only if other conditions permit. The extent of global mean
temperature increase is mainly a function of global population and associated energy conversions.
The GAW model notes the following which are not shown in current IPCC models. In 1966
the average global energy conversion was 0.0104 watts/m2 at a population 3.397 billion. In 2012 the
average global energy conversion was 0.0327 W/m2 at a population 7.082 billion. In 2100 the average
global energy conversion could go to 0.0651 W/m2 at an anticipated global population 10.8 billion
[UN est]. Each 0.01 W/m2 energy conversion can result in a 0.31 oC increase in temperature in ten
years, without moderation by evaporative cooling. In the 50 years since 1965 population doubled

while the human energy conversion tripled. We saw only a 0.66 oC increase in atmospheric
temperature along with increased humidity instead of what could have been 2.8 oC increase in the air
mass without evaporative cooling. This enthalpy change model can compute the increase of 200
meter in altitude of the top of troposphere - tropopause from a 0.7 oC GAW due to air mass expansion.
At this point note that the major greenhouse gas keeping the planetary surface temperature in the
livable range is water vapor. Water vapor causes the major greenhouse effect, while the second
greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide which causes a fraction of the effect. Carbon dioxide is an important
component of all living matter - biomass, animals and humans. Bio fuels and fossil fuels give out
both carbon dioxide and water vapor. The warming effect from the renewable energy conversions
results only in excess water vapor - which alone cannot support life and living matter.
Water vapor gets replenished in the atmosphere from the vast oceans. Not all the carbon
dioxide emitted by human energy conversions stay in the atmosphere; the amount varies from year to
year - on an average the first half of twentieth century saw 75% staying in the atmosphere, while the
recent 50 years with increased energy conversions saw only 45% staying in the atmosphere. This is a
variable dependent on many other natural causes.
Continuing to say human energy conversion has to stop is equivalent to statements of wanting
to have zero population growth. Stopping population growth may not be palatable to most religions or
political entities in the world. This we may call it oxymoral. Similarly a call to abstain from energy
use avoid air conditioning, avoid transportation etc. is impractical for most.
Energy conversions will continue, climate change will continue. By switching from one form
of energy conversion to another form is not going to change these. Controlling and elimination of a
well established industry is not a solution. What should be expected is that coal as well as other
industries are made to control real toxic emissions, and operate in a clean environmental fashion
which does not affect public health. It is important that authorities worldwide should limit itself to
addressing these required controls. Isaac Asimov was one of those who lamented in 1959 as follows
in his essay - No more Ice Ages.
.... How different from the nice, decent, non-radioactive, old-fashioned coalburning (or oil-burning) power plants. ....Except that the gentleman of the twenty-fifth
century may well be sitting there cursing the good old days as he pushes his air conditioner
up a notch and wishes ......
During the 1998-2012 when the carbon dioxide levels kept going up, temperature increases
had not - this was dubbed as hiatus. It was called as hiatus as there was no explanation in existing
scientific thought. This hiatus was most likely a result of increase in precipitation and humidity which
are more difficult to quantify. In a recent article in Nature Climate Change -Making Sense of the
Early 2000s Warming slowdown, J.Fyfe and others, stated the difficulties in computation of aerosols
which are instrumental in cloud formation and precipitation which easily nullifies the effect of
increasing carbon dioxide levels. During the hiatus period there was an increased amount of aerosols
which caused the pause. What kind of climate change will happen in the future if there were reduced
amount of aerosols to cause the condensation of increasing water vapor with increased amounts of
renewable energy conversions? It is known that there are natural aerosols such as from plant released
organic nano particles as well as cosmic dust. Still it can be Sweaty and muggy!! Should we then
fully switch to renewables resulting in lifeless atmospheric warming with water vapor alone without
sufficient carbon dioxide for continued vegetation growth. There is no difference in the carbon
coming from biomass from that coming from coal or oil.

Montevideo, Uruguay with 95% renewable wind electricity was hotter in 2015 compared to
prior 30 years - based on the interactive map -how hot was your city - shown in New York Times in
January 2016. Most of the Scandinavian cities with close to 60% of renewables supplying their
energy supply as well as Austria with over 75% renewables also had increasing temperatures in 2015.
We should be aware of human geoengineering studies done by Rand Corporation for the United States
Navy during the 1960s, which show how we can melt the arctic ice to cause a warmer ambient. Now
we are seeing this happening due to natural events resulting from energy guzzling increased
population without the help of any geo-engineering. Recently another geo-engineering is alluded to about pumping water up in the air to replenish Antarcticas ice, requiring more energy conversions
and heating. Better geo-engineering is related to forestations worldwide including the present deserts.
Applying the principles from the studies on how forests produce more rain than the ocean and how
ground level winds are initiated by condensation of water will be useful. Reforestations cannot
happen without co-emission of carbon dioxide. All the energy conversion routes should be allowed to
evolve in its natural course as a supplement to present energy conversion routes we have in order to
sustain future population growth. By switching from one form of energy conversion to another form
is not going to change these. Controlling and elimination of well-established industries is not a
solution. What should be expected is that coal as well as other industries are made to control real
toxic emissions, and operate in a clean environmental fashion which does not affect public health.
