Kyoto made a big mistake in declaring CO2 to be the cause of global warming. The cause of global warming is the heat emitted into the environment from the world’s energy usage. They were correct in identifying fossil fuels as a leading cause, but it is the heat from fossil fuels, as well as that from nuclear and geothermal power plants that is the real culprit. The heat alone can be easily calculated to raise the temperature of the atmosphere alone by 0.17*F a year. The actual rise has been about 25% of that due to cooling by photosynthesis and the melting of glaciers. The main damage of their declaration has been to encourage the proponents of nuclear power, and to cause much useless legislation and money and time wasted on carbon capture. All these countries send delegates to conferences to discuss climate change but you never see the role of HEAT being brought up. Kyoto “scientists” should explain why they ignored this most obvious contribution to global warming. Neither president Obama nor Dr. Steven Chu have responded to my letters pointing this out.
