“There’s a design downside in local weather coverage” with Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. and Chris Wright, Liberty – Watts Up With That?
Bleeding
On Wednesday in Denver we had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. (UC Boulder) and Chris Wright, CEO and Chairman of Liberty Energy, will participate in a live discussion as part of Liberty Energy's Liberty and Energy presentation series. Roger is a professor in the Department of Environmental Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder and author of The Honest Broker sub-stack (linked here). Roger's work focuses on the interface between policy and governance issues related to science, technology, the environment, innovation and sport. It was exciting to bring the Denver area community together and have a live studio audience to comprehensively discuss the current state of climate, energy and the environment.
To start the discussion, Roger led us through a presentation with important background information on the current state of science around energy and climate (slides linked here). We then looked at how the wider population could get better data and discussions on energy and climate, issues with the IPCC summary for policymakers, how priorities in the environmental world have shifted to climate , with the impact of climate alarmism on children etc young adults and how Roger teaches his students to understand the scale and complexity of energy and electricity in the world. Roger gives examples of the “scenario wars” taking place, his experiences with Congressional investigations, and the overwhelming need for solid climate data from a trusted, authoritative organization that enables open discussion.
We also discuss the role of oil and gas companies in tomorrow's energy world, the math for achieving net zero by 2050, the urgent need for more energy in the developing world, the obvious opportunity for America to help power the world, and conclude with some inside information about Roger's chances of joining the team with Coach Prime. As you will hear, Roger is a great explainer and wonderful thinker. We can't thank the Liberty team enough for allowing us to be a part of this. The world needs more citizens' meetings on freedom and energy!
As you will hear, Roger makes very positive mention of a podcast with Michael Liebreich and Jim Skea (the new head) of the IPCC. The episode is linked here.
As the weekend begins, we wish you all the best and hope your team wins! If you're out for a walk or have some free time, we really hope you can tune in to this Special Edition COBT. We learned a lot!
This event will be archived in WUWT Climate TV, a collection of over six hundred videos with new interviews and analysis and dozens of media sources discussing, debating and analyzing the latest topics in climate science, climate policy and energy policy on temperature, sea levels, polar bears , ocean acidification, extreme weather, censorship, wildfires and more.
