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.
The coming global forest regrowth
The great news is that world forests will be growing on net within the next few decades.
CFACT to EPA: Obama’s “Clean Power Plan” must go!
Legally correct interpretation: “The CPP exceeds EPA’s statutory authority and must be repealed.” Read CFACT's full regulatory submission now.
Ten easy lessons on climate alarmism
A new lesson set called the Climate Change IQ (CCIQ) provides a good skeptical critique of ten top alarmist claims.
No CO2 warming for the last 40 years?
No CO2 caused global warming over the entire satellite temperature record?
EPA ponders regulating CO2
The second shoe has dropped in EPA's wondering about how to regulate CO2 emissions from power plants. As the shoe dropping metaphor suggests, EPA can now go to sleep for awhile. Everyone else is going to be very busy commenting on this complex issue. The first shoe dropped in October when EPA proposed repeal of the Obama Clean Power Plan. The Agency correctly cited the well known legal arguments against the CPP, especially that it illegally required States to regulate their entire electric power systems, not just their power plants. This meant changing (that is, restricting) people's use of electricity, a favorite [...]
EPA can review the CO2 endangerment finding on procedural grounds
It looks like EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt has a good procedural argument for reopening the Obama era false finding that CO2 emissions endanger human health and welfare.
Considering the sun in climate change
It is time for the multi-billion dollar USGCRP to focus on understanding the sun-climate connection.
Archaeologists show how science is supposed to work
Archaeologists make discoveries, present their evidence, engage in discussions and debates that can continue for years, and try to defend their conclusions. Paying attention climate campaigners?
Here’s why China can’t be trusted to cut coal use, fight global warming
China’s coal capacity increased nearly 8 percent in 2015 — the year after they pledged to cut emissions.
Former NASA scientist dispels notion global warming is ‘settled’ science
“Uncertainties in the adjustments to our global temperature datasets, the small amount of warming those datasets have measured compared to what climate models expect, and uncertainties over the possible role of Mother Nature in recent warming, all combine to make climate change beliefs as much faith-based as science-based."
European plan to reduce CO2 emissions backfired and increased them
Europe’s plans to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by switching from conventional oil to biofuels actually ended up increasing emissions.
Obama holding highway funds hostage to coerce states into his climate agenda
Obama administration officials are about to release regulations that could force states and cities getting federal transportation funding to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
Progressive budget would tax everything to slightly slow global warming
The CPC budget features taxes on carbon dioxide (CO2), huge increases in green energy subsidies and new cash to enforce Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. It would add another $9.9 trillion to the national debt by 2026.
