The benefits of carbon dioxide and fossil fuels
Many people are ignorant of the benefits of carbon dioxide and fossil fuels.
Two physicists have issued a technical paper showing that physics demonstrates that increasing greenhouse gases cannot cause dangerous warming, extreme weather or any harm. In particular:
– More carbon dioxide will create more food, and
– Driving greenhouse gas emissions to net zero and eliminating fossil fuels will be disastrous for people worldwide. (more…)

The religion of climate change
This blogpost comes from an interview of Michael Shellenberger, who is an environmentalist, commentator, author and an advocate for pragmatic solutions to climate change.
Summary
I accept the core science of climate change, but not the alarmism because climate change is gradual and manageable, and not catastrophic. There is no climate crisis or climate emergency. That’s a corruption of the science. For example, sensational scenarios are fraudulent and scare tactics. (more…)

The story behind the “climate crisis”
Do you remember the story of the emperor’s new clothes? The emperor was persuaded by a tailor that he could make him a grand set of clothes which could only be seen by the really intelligent. When this invisible set of (non-existent) clothes were put on, everyone wanted to appear intelligent and so they commented about how grand and beautiful they were. Until one small boy shouted out in the crowd “the emperor is naked. He has no clothes”! And then the truth became obvious to everyone. The climate emergency is like the emperor’s clothes. It doesn’t exist. There is no climate emergency. (more…)

Is there a climate crisis?
Heavy snow has disrupted normal life in Athens. And more than 245 million Americans are expected to face temperatures below freezing in the continental U.S. over the next seven days. The Arctic air from a polar vortex has already set temperature records in numerous states. Record low temperatures are making life miserable in the U.S. The severe winter weather has sparked emergency declarations in at least seven states, including Alabama, Oregon, Oklahoma, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi and Texas. Air traffic was halted at a number of airports. Across the country, at least 36 people have died since the punishing winter weather began last week. It must be global cooling! That’s like what we hear when high temperatures are attributed to global warming. But of course this is weather not climate (which is the weather averaged over 30 years). (more…)
