The mainstream media always seems keen to talk down “Green Energy” and expects us to believe that “Fossil Fuels” will not only be dominant but will continue to increase until at least 2050. Where do they get their assumptions from? Often, they use data from the IEA, but tend to misquote the source.

Tropical cyclones are powerful weather systems that develop over warm tropical and subtropical oceans. They are associated with extremely low air pressure, meaning that air at the Earth’s surface is rising rather than sinking. As air rises, pressure at the surface decreases, which helps draw in surrounding air and fuels storm development. Tropical cyclones are sometimes referred to as tropical storms, hurricanes, or typhoons depending on where they form, but they are all the same type of atmospheric phenomenon.
Tropical cyclones gain their energy from warm ocean water, which provides heat and moisture. As the storm strengthens, surface winds begin to rotate around the centre in a continuous circular pattern known as closed circulation. The direction of this rotation depends on the hemisphere: storms rotate anticlockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth’s rotation.

The industrial system
The industrial system is a multifaceted web of economic activities and processes dedicated to the large-scale production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. This system encompasses diverse sectors, including manufacturing, mining, energy production, transportation, and infrastructure, all of which collaboratively drive economic growth and development. At its essence, the industrial system involves transforming raw materials into finished products through a series of interconnected activities. This intricate process often begins with the extraction or procurement of raw materials, such as minerals, metals, or agricultural produce sourced from natural resources or primary producers.

Counter-urbanisation, also known as de-urbanisation, refers to the movement of people and economic activities away from major cities and into suburban or rural areas. This process represents a significant reversal of the traditional urbanisation trend that dominated the 19th and 20th centuries, where people migrated in large numbers from rural areas to cities in search of employment and opportunities. Counter-urbanisation has gained considerable prominence in recent decades, particularly in More Economically Developed Countries (MEDCs), as a response to various push and pull factors. This demographic shift has had notable and far-reaching effects on society, the economy, and the environment as rural populations increase and the character of these areas transforms.

Urbanisation is the process by which an increasing proportion of a country’s population comes to live in towns and cities rather than in rural areas. This process has been one of the most powerful forces shaping society during the 20th and 21st centuries. It has changed where people live, how they work, and how they interact with the natural environment.
In 1900, only about 16% of the world’s population lived in urban areas. By 1960 this had risen to 34%, and by 2040 it is expected to reach around 67% — meaning two-thirds of all people will live in cities or towns. The shift has been global but has taken place at different speeds in different regions.
