In the Bloomberg interview, Larry Fink said BlackRock are using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to examine physical climate risk and have really advanced models that can show where climate risk can have a real impact. “How should we invest in that? How should we think about that?” BlackRock offers “Aladdin Climate” risk analysis.
In an Oct. 21, 2022, presentation for the National Association of Scholars, climate policy analyst Roger Pielke, Jr. was critical of climate models used by the Network for Greening the Financial system, stating that the models used by central banks around the world are “wildly implausible and of questionable practical utility.” He notes that the implausible scenario known as Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) is frequently employed.
Robert Lyman’s report “Between the Implausible and the Impossible” shows how this scenario distorts climate policy. Climate analysts Roger Pielke, Jr. and Justin Ritchie have done an extensive review showing that RCP8.5 is used in all catastrophic forecasting. Without it, there is no climate emergency.
Climate activists have been raging against the fact that the upcoming global climate confab, the UN Conference of the Parties – COP28 – will be held in the United Arab Emirates with president-designate Sultan al-Jaber, CEO of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. But as reported by CTV News, Sept. 30, 2023. Sultan al-Jaber is an energy realist, too, who said: “Some are promoting the fact that we can just unplug the world from the current energy system and with a flick of a switch, we can just initiate a new energy system,” he said. “That doesn’t work. It won’t work. So, we need to sober up and be more realistic and more practical.”
In Alberta, Canada, Premier Danielle Smith has been trying to convey this type of message to Canada’s Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault. As reported by the Globe and Mail on Sept. 29, 2023, Smith and Guilbeault are facing off over proposed Clean Electricity Regulations which would put Alberta at risk of blackouts. This fear was confirmed by the Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO), at a press conference on Sept. 28, 2023. Friends of Science explainer offers a plain language discussion on Alberta’s grid challenges. In short, too rapid adoption of too many renewables; too rapid coal phase-out – not enough dispatchable power. The AESO reported there were seven near blackouts in the fall of 2022. Temperatures in Alberta can dip to minus 40 C/F in winter; blackouts pose a serious threat to life.
An op-ed by energy analyst and author Ronald Stein, published by CFACT on Oct. 2, 2023, discusses the “Dangerous Delusion of a Global Transition to ‘Just Electricity’“.
As reported by Physics.org on Sept 27. 2023, a new study shows that polar bears survived the last deglaciation, putting to bed a climate fear that had haunted Greta Thunberg from childhood.
In a 2016, interview with Friends of Science, Dr. Ian Clark, explained that polar bears are adaptable and survived the Holocene Hypsithermal some 8,000 years ago when Arctic sea ice melted. Dr. Clark will be one of Friends of Science Society’s guest speakers at their upcoming Oct. 17, 2023 event in Calgary – “Break Free from Climate Tyranny: Evidence Over Ideology.”
Dr. Clark was one of the first Canadian scientists to do a U-turn on the claim that carbon dioxide was causing catastrophic warming, as he relates in the 2008 documentary “Climate Catastrophe Cancelled.”
Friends of Science has posed the question in a video, “What if CO2 is Good for you?“
About
Friends of Science Society is an independent group of earth, atmospheric and solar scientists, engineers, and citizens that is celebrating its 21st year of offering climate science insights. After a thorough review of a broad spectrum of literature on climate change, Friends of Science Society has concluded that the sun is the main driver of climate change, not carbon dioxide (CO2).

“Banks are recognizing the need for strategic alignment, which goes beyond just tech adoption,” says Janet King, VP of Research at Arizent. “This means financial institutions need to shift toward a tech-driven organizational culture — one that prioritizes innovation, aligns it with technology and leverages fintech collaborations.”
Additionally, only 40% of banks strongly agree that their organization’s technology roadmap (including investment strategies) is aligned with key areas of innovation, indicating a potential missed opportunity for many. Despite substantial investment in tech and innovation programs, a gap persists between some of the technologies that financial institutions see as critical and the tech they have actually implemented, primarily with AI and cloud computing.
Survey respondents also reveal that culture and resourcing are the primary barriers to innovation at financial institutions. Two in five cite limited resources (limited recruiting or in-house expertise, limited budget or not enough time) as the primary block for efforts to drive innovation.
“Addressing this shortcoming demands a fundamental shift in company culture,” continues King. “Deliberately pursuing mergers and acquisitions, fintech investments and joint ventures can be a successful strategy, but it requires the organization to be ready to collaborate effectively in these new relationships.”
