The Court served notice today that the Executive branch cannot unilaterally write its own laws. This is an important principle. However, the United States still remains fated to suffer most of the economic damage EPA’s regulations will cause.
The Obama administration expects, as time marches on, their anti-carbon, green energy policies will become permanent fixture of the American political culture. This would almost certainly lead to job losses, higher energy costs, and perhaps America’s economic decline.
Dennis Avery cites the historical record of miniature ice ages that have created hard times for people, and the warming cycles that have benefited human, animal, and plant life. Indeed, Avery concludes that “misguided opposition to biotechnology, fossil fuels,and increased atmospheric carbon dioxide could very well condemn millions of people to malnutrition and starvation, and numerous wildlife species to extinction.”
CFACT advisor Dr. Larry Bell is amused with the latest spin from the Obama Administration and its henchmen from the politico-scientific community — this time regarding the latest report on the relatively tiny West Antarctic ice sheet. Bell points to several key facts ignored by reporters and political hacks alike — notably, the recently discovered 1-mile-deep rift valley and volcanic activity under the West Antarctic ice sheet and the fact that the other 90% of the Antarctic ice sheet is experiencing record high ice levels. Just further evidence that you cannot believe the White House or the mainstream media.
The continuing drama of a President willing to push climate alarmism continues with the release of a report, the National Climate Assessment. It is a repeat of all the inaccuracies that have been generated by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Read Climate Depot Editor In Chief Marc Morano’s statement on the U.S. 2014 National Climate Assessment Report.
Do global warming policies save human lives? A Stunning new report found the exact opposite. The report, entitled “Global Warming Policies Might Be Bad for Your Health,” was produced by leading researcher Dr. Indur Goklany and found that issues of poverty like malnutrition and unsafe water have a global impact of death and disease 70 times larger than that of theoretical climate change.
From two unusually candid global warming academics own pens — it is OK to lie about climate. The title of the study they published is “Information Manipulation and Climate Agreements”
UN officials predicted what the next report would look like. They said they would make the report so alarming the world would have to act. It’s nothing more than pre-determined science.
EPA assumes zero benefits from the burning of fossil fuels while proclaiming heavy costs from increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Now, as Greens push for increasing the alleged “social cost of carbon” from the current 36/ton (up from $22/ton back in 2010) to an astonishing $43/ton, Roger Bezdek and Paul Driessen show that EPA is violating federal law (including Executive Order 12866) by ignoring the massive benefits to society (some $70 trillion in the U.S. alone) from fossil fuels use.
While twenty or so desperate Senators gather all night, keep in mind that (1) there has been no global warming since 1997, (2) more than 31,000 scientists have signed a petition saying humans are not causing global warming, (3) Arctic ice is up 50% since 2012, and (4) every one of the climate computer models predicting warmth has been wrong over and over again.
When it comes to global warming, melting ice caps and scorching heat waves often top the list of big worries. But now, just the act of worrying itself is allegedly becoming a new consequence of dreaded climate change.
“It has been 17 and half years with no global warming according to the latest satellite data. The global warming activists have a serious PR problem. Every kid in high school has never experienced global warning. They have a serious task to stay up all night and do this.”
Dr. Patrick Moore: “I am confident that history will bear me out, both in terms of the futility of relying on computer models to predict the future, and the fact that warmer temperatures are better than colder temperatures for most species.”
Kelvin Kemm likens the scurrying about to combat the supposed ill effects of increasing worldwide atmospheric carbon dioxide to a nation reacting in fear to rumors of ghosts in the attic and in the addled brains of policymakers. Reality no longer matters to those afflicted, as Pierre Gosselin says, to a mental disorder linked to extreme weather fears.
Alan Caruba points out the cynicism and tomfoolery of President Obama’s latest visit to California — pretending to care about the plight of the drought-stricken state while doing nothing to restore the right of California farmers to use irrigation water denied them of late due to federal policies he supports. Instead, he wants to spend another billion dollars to impose more restrictions on Californians and all Americans –a huge waste of tax dollars (again!).
Larry Bell once again states the obvious: that polar vortices have been with us for a very long time — and that the latest cold temperatures are NOT a sign of global warming, as some would have us believe.
Watch the great climate debate. Morano v Nye on Stossel.
Marita Noon demonstrates from history and the modern record the absurdity of claims by climate scientist Richard Somerville that low-lying areas are under immediate threat from CO2-induced sea level rise and that increasing CO2 is threatening agricultural production. She presenrts evidence showing that sea levels in Roman and Medieval periods were significantly higher than those today, and that the weather today is not as extreme as television forecasters and news anchors would like us to think. Nonetheless, there is a climate threat today — the Obama-Podesta climate policy agenda.
As much of the nation is mired in bone-chilling weather, President Obama plans to address the nation about global warming — because if you repeat a lie often enough, many people will believe it to be true. And the President needs for the lie to be perceived as truth, because the truth still matters to lots of the “little” people in America.
