CO2 at the Yale Bowl
By Collister Johnson, Jr. CO2 (the gas you just exhaled) might not be such a bad fella after all.
The obvious biomass emissions error
BY STEVE GOREHAM: Burning wood for electricity is just one more foolish policy in the “fight” against global warming.
The Green New Deal: It’s worse than you think
A government-mandated transition to 100% renewable energy would completely destroy the U.S. industrial base and cause lights to go out in millions of households across the country.
Prodding Trump’s EPA to reexamine “Endangerment Finding”
BY WILLIAM KOVACS: without independent testing of the factual claims establishing its Finding, EPA retains the power to regulate all energy-producing and energy-using activities throughout the United States – and thus to regulate our production, consumption, transportation, employment base and living standards.
Crop yields consistently up confounding warming scare stories
The USDA has kept crop records since that agency was created in the 1860’s. Over that period – which coincides with “large-scale industrial coal burning” and other recent human activities alleged to increase warming – national average corn yields have increased more than 7-fold.
Side events with consequences
Businesses get saddled with burdensome mandates, consumers pay higher prices, and economies flounder. Even worse, such measures often take their toll on those who can afford it least – namely the poor.
The nightmare of taxing carbon dioxide
The total cost of this Bill is estimated to be upwards of a trillion dollars, which is a lot of taxes.
New York Times hysterical over global greening
There is fossil evidence of CO2 starvation at the end of the last ice age, when CO2 levels dropped to below 200 ppm. Even today's 400 ppm is far too low for optimum plant growth.
Politifact disgraces itself on U.S. emissions ruling
Politifact justified its ruling that EPA is telling a half-falsehood in stating emissions are down under President Trump by stating emissions – under the booming Trump economy – are not falling quite as quickly as they did under the stagnant Obama economy. The fact is U.S. emissions continued to decline -- just as EPA reported.
America is an increasingly minor CO2 emitter
The United States and Western democracies as a whole are increasingly minor players among global carbon dioxide emitters, U.S. EPA data show. Without dramatic emissions reductions in China, India, and other developing nations, dramatic reductions in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan will have little impact on global carbon dioxide emissions. According to EPA data (https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/global-greenhouse-gas-emissions-data), the United States, Western Europe, and Japan account for a cumulative 28% of global carbon dioxide emissions. China alone accounts for 30%, India accounts for 7%, and the rest of the world cumulatively accounts for 35%. The share of global emissions from the United [...]
Global Warming Exhibit B: April Was the 400th Straight Better than Average Crop
Global crop production sets new records virtually every year.
No, CNN, GHGs have not reached ‘alarming new record’
CNN claimed the pace of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions has become alarming. A look at the objective data, however, reveals just the opposite.
Two CO2 climate change myths
Do the fundamental assumptions about CO2 in the climate models hold up?
Seeing the CO2 greening of Planet Earth
Two years ago the big scientific news was that increasing CO2 levels were increasing plant productivity around the world. CO2 is the global food supply so this is good news indeed.
“Revenue neutral” nonsense
There are a lot of wacky schemes around for forcing people to stop using carbon-based energy, even though fire is still the basis for human civilization.
