I am a physicist, a nuclear physicist.&nbsp;I am also an expert in atmospheric physics. I am an emeritus professor.&nbsp;I still work.&nbsp;I have an office in the Department of Physics, the same place where Einstein was.&nbsp;Oppenheimer was also there.&nbsp;I knew Oppenheimer.&nbsp;My invention is something very well known, sodium guide stars, which were used in the Star Wars.&nbsp;This invention was very important because it allowed one of the layers of the atmosphere to create a guide, a reference through sodium atoms.&nbsp;It is used today in all observatories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Read more:&nbsp;<\/strong><a

expansion<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Travels a lot?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Quite.&nbsp;I was in Australia a few days ago, also invited by friends like Alfred who invited me to come to Paraguay.&nbsp;I loved it.&nbsp;I was there five days.&nbsp;I gave a series of conferences where I explained why there is no emergency in climate change, as they say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 What is its foundation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 The rising levels of carbon dioxide (carbon dioxide) have in some way even helped plants grow better today.&nbsp;The higher the carbon dioxide is, this actually has a beneficial effect.&nbsp;Now, even the world is greener, including Paraguay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Yours is a 180 degree different position\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Climate change is real.&nbsp;It has always existed since the world existed.&nbsp;This particular change, this warming, already began in the 1800s long before the rise of greenhouse gases.&nbsp;The scientific evidence is very clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 What is your theory then?&nbsp;Climate change is attributed to human activity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Only now it is attributed to humans.&nbsp;This however began more than 150 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 How can you refute a (scientific) consensus of countries on climate change?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 The first thing we have to understand is that scientific truth can never be a matter of consensus.&nbsp;It is the empirical evidence.&nbsp;In the 1930s, for example, there was great opposition to the ideas of Einstein\u2019s theory of relativity.&nbsp;There was even a book supported by a hundred scientists that proved, in quotes, that he was wrong.&nbsp;With great humor, Einstein responded to that book by asking \u201cwhy did 100 get together if one that refuted with evidence what I said was already enough\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"

TV.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Isn\u2019t it true then that global warming in the last 50 years is attributed to humans?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Of course, because it is actually a natural process that already exists prior to industrialization, long before human activity.&nbsp;Therefore, this is not a cause of human activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 What is it then, mass hysteria?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 It\u2019s true.&nbsp;This can be compared to the time of the witch hunts.&nbsp;At that time, when there was a very bad harvest, a bad year, people looked for someone to blame and that\u2019s why they invented witches, women who were even led to die at the stake.&nbsp;There is a very famous book called&nbsp;<strong>\u201cExtraordinary popular delusions and the madness of the masses\u201d<\/strong>&nbsp;by Charles Mackay (1814-1889), a book of great impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 What era is the book from?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 From 1842.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 What is it about?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 The book mentions how the masses are susceptible to lies and delusions that come from political power.&nbsp;When reading the history of nations we discover that, like individuals, they have their whims and their peculiarities, their seasons of excitement and recklessness in which they do not care what their leaders do.&nbsp;They impress with deception.&nbsp;The masses believe and follow until the madness ends or a new one captivates them.&nbsp;It is a fragility of human beings when they act collectively\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 What is global warming attributed to then\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Since the beginning of time the earth\u2019s temperature always rises and falls.&nbsp;There are other factors to consider.&nbsp;A thousand years ago, for example, the earth was so hot, much hotter than now when Greenland was green.&nbsp;It was not a mass of ice as it is today.&nbsp;In South America, the glaciers that one sees in the Andes were much further removed than now.&nbsp;The cooling was so great that the Thames River (in London) froze, the canals of Amsterdam too\u2026 In reality, there are many factors involved in warming and cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 What is attributable to man then?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 One of the main reasons is ignorance.&nbsp;A common thing in politics is the use of fear as something useful.&nbsp;Manipulation is a resource of political power.&nbsp;One gains economic advantages through fear.&nbsp;It is a political technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Why do they say that carbon dioxide is a danger?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Carbon dioxide (or carbon dioxide) is not a pollutant.&nbsp;On the contrary, each of us is exhaling approximately one kilo of (carbon) dioxide per day.&nbsp;At night, plants release carbon dioxide.&nbsp;During the day they use them for photosynthesis.&nbsp;It is something totally natural.&nbsp;And now we don\u2019t have enough.&nbsp;We should have more\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 What data do you have to prove that warming is not caused by man?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 I do not believe that men are exempt from responsibility.&nbsp;What I am saying is that human intervention is minimal in global warming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Why do countries demand reduction?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 It makes no sense to ask countries to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.&nbsp;There are other greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The effect of these gases is much greater in areas that are very remote, that are very cold: northern Russia, in Patagonia.&nbsp;The effect of the gases at the level of the Equator is almost zero.&nbsp;The intervention of its greenhouse effect is much greater at night than during the day.&nbsp;Countries should not reduce their emissions.&nbsp;It\u2019s crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>-Those summits, the one in Copenhagen, the one in Paris, the one coming up now in Bombay, what are they then: tourist outings?&nbsp;Why do countries give it so much importance?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 I insist: it doesn\u2019t make sense.&nbsp;My country, the United States, banned alcohol in the 1920s with Prohibition.&nbsp;This allowed the growth of organized crime to traffic alcohol clandestinely.&nbsp;It was wrong.&nbsp;Many of the drug problems we have today already began at that time, because of state actions that make no sense.&nbsp;Pollution is real.&nbsp;For example, if you have a coal plant and you do not have your cleaning system properly, that will produce real pollution.&nbsp;In large cities it is solved by restricting the circulation of vehicles that emit real pollutants.&nbsp;Their energy sources are not clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img

legends.&nbsp;Climate change is real.&nbsp;Dioxide is not the reason.&nbsp;Carbon dioxide is invisible.&nbsp;That\u2019s not what warms up the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 But are human beings in danger or not?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 No. We are not in danger: famines and floods exist and will continue to exist but it is not because of climate change.&nbsp;If man actually wants to contribute to the elimination of hunger, the best thing is to increase carbon dioxide.&nbsp;In the United States, the increase in this period caused wheat yield to rise 40%.&nbsp;It is thanks to that small elevation of carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 It\u2019s natural?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 It\u2019s natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 So, who should we attribute this global consensus on global warming?&nbsp;The new president of Argentina, Javier Milei, says that it is an invention of socialism, the Marxism that \u201cdominates\u201d global culture\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-There is a principle known as \u201cHanlon\u2019s razor\u201d.&nbsp;It is a rule of thumb that states: \u201cnever attribute to evil what is adequately explained by stupidity.\u201d&nbsp;It is a human characteristic.&nbsp;Much was written about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Does it have to do with a campaign of global domination?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 I worked for the United States Government.&nbsp;In the George Bush Sr. Administration I was in the Department of Energy.&nbsp;I was in charge of 1,000 officials when I only needed 300. That is the problem of governments.&nbsp;They hire many officials and those officials look for what to do.&nbsp;Sometimes they invent charges and give themselves (fictitious) causes to fight for those causes.&nbsp;That could be it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Are you a Republican?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Yes, but don\u2019t worry, Republicans are just as bad at those weaknesses as Democrats.&nbsp;Politicians often have to somehow reward the people who put them in that place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 It is political clientelism as we know in Paraguay.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Exactly.&nbsp;There are people who access public positions on a supernumerary basis because political clientelism \u2013 which also exists in my country \u2013 makes them look for causes that justify their presence in the State.&nbsp;Maybe that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 There are rulers who fully support and do politics with the climate of global warming: Lula, L\u00f3pez Obrador, Biden, Petro in Colombia, Maduro, Boric in Chile, Arce in Bolivia, to name some socialist governments\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">-Angela Merkel too, and she is right-wing.&nbsp;It is not a right or left issue.&nbsp;What we have to see here is whether the data that is put on the table is real or not.&nbsp;That is the point.&nbsp;It\u2019s not so much the politics but the science behind it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Why do they say that your point of view is anti-scientific, obscurantist, reactionary?&nbsp;They say it is the expression of \u201cdecadent capitalist\u201d politics\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 It\u2019s typical as always.&nbsp;It is the ad hominem argument, that since one has no way to refute the facts then one targets the people.&nbsp;What I transmit are not ideas, they are facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 What do you think about investing in the so-called green economy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Most of it is a waste of money.&nbsp;The result of this policy is that energy prices are suffering enormously and produces capital flight.&nbsp;Companies do not want to be where the price of energy is expensive.&nbsp;In green conversion, so much money is being spent and so many opportunities are being lost that in the end there is no investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\"

resources the Chaco has in all terms: if there are hydrocarbons, if there is gas.&nbsp;You must have all the information about your energy riches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Solar energy?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Solar energy is probably the least convenient because it is very expensive.&nbsp;It doesn\u2019t work at night.&nbsp;On cloudy days it does not produce, in winter it produces less, even in sunny countries like Paraguay.&nbsp;In the Chaco, solar energy is not a bad idea as long as it is for something specific.&nbsp;Outside of that it is not very useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2013 Is it better to carry hydroelectric energy despite the distance?&nbsp;It\u2019s like 500 km at least from Itaipu or Yacyret\u00e1.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 Hydroelectric energy is a good investment.&nbsp;In the United States, energy is normally transported 1,000 km inclusive\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
