Ocean acidification was just it was a made up terminology used to scare people. And the people that did it have admitted to that. | 5 |
We raised a lot of money and mobilized an awful lot of people, and we lost, plain and simple. We’re going to study what worked, what didn’t work and improve our efforts in the future. We’re not going to roll over and play dead. | 0 |
Coal-based generation in the United States […] has increased 146% since 1970. And all these emissions have dropped off. Clean coal works. We have to implement it People need electric power. They need natural gas. And they need oil. And they’re going to get it. And they should have it. | 7 |
Judaism cannot make peace with homosexuality because homosexuality denies many of Judaism’s most fundamental principles. It denies life, it denies God’s expressed desire that men and women cohabit, and it denies the root structure that Judaism wishes for all mankind, the family. | 0 |

So no I would not agree that it's a primary contributor to the global warming that we see. But we don't know that yet. We need to continue the debate and continue the review and the analysis. | 5 |
I support sustainable forestry, which is sometimes best done by making clearings where new trees can grow in the sun. I have given my reasons for supporting nuclear power, vinyl and genetic engineering in my books, all of which stem from a concern for the environment and human welfare. And is Greenpeace suggesting envi... | 0 |
It will be said, however, that the market response is wholly inadequate because it ignores the pressing needs of victims for medical and health services. This problem is all too real. The issue is what, if anything, should be done about it. | 0 |
How can this be AND the year also be the hottest on record! Simply put the correction algorithms used to compensate for the urban heat island effects are wrong. As are the majority if not all of the climate models used by the UN IPCC which do not take into account celestial cycles, cloud formation impacts of comic [sic... | 5 |
Some misguided scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long-term scientific data back in the late 1990’s to create an illusion of rapid global warming. Other scientists of the same environmental-extremism type jumped into the circle to support and broaden the ‘research’ to further enhance the to... | 6 |
Should Michael Mann be given the electric chair for having concocted arguably the most risibly inept, misleading, cherry-picking, worthless and mendacious graph – the Hockey Stick – in the history of junk science Should George Monbiot be hanged by the neck for his decade or so’s hysterical promulgation of the great cli... | 6 |
Regular readers of CO2 Science will recognize the significance we attach to documenting the existence of the Medieval Warm Period, Little Ice Age and Little Medieval Warm Period throughout the world, the reality of which periods of thermal extremes is typically denied by the world's climate alarmists. Strangely enough,... | 2 |
When you read that the cost of disasters is increasing, it’s tempting to think that it must be because more storms are happening. They’re not. | 1 |

Yea how crazy it takes a genius to figure out that these climate change cultists can't figure out that the cost of everything is energy drivin. What? You mean my Starbucks coffee isn't grown in the Starbucks? It has to be trucked in? Lol kids | 6 |
The State of the Union speech? Yeesh. The energy and climate stuff was disingenuous and dumb. | 0 |
Some politicians might trick themselves into believing that enforcing privations on the British people will win them points abroad and enhance our global green credentials. But not only is this unlikely to convince anyone, considerable progress can be made on environmental goals without any punishing bans or new taxes. | 4 |
For decades, conventional wisdom has been that America was in a state of decline. This drumbeat, repeated relentlessly, held that raw-material scarcity and resource consumption would doom America. Costs would inexorably rise and resources would become more scarce. Indeed costs did rise. But the truth is that the politi... | 7 |
For if you own the dataset, you can reduce older temperatures and increase recent ones, just as NASA has been doing, and give the impression of greater warming. Naughty, naughty. more | 5 |
Climate change crap has gotten out of control | 0 |
Part One of this three-part series considered the evidence supporting horrific claims made about the unmarked graves recently found at former Indian Residential Schools across Canada. Upon closer investigation, many of these allegations turned out to be exaggerated, unproven or simply wrong. | 0 |
This campaign to control climate by changing CO2 levels won’t achieve anything. It’s not there to control climate, it’s there to control you. | 4 |
If CO2 is to be considered a major driver of temperatures, it is doing a counterintuitive dance around the numbers. | 5 |
Climate will always fluctuate naturally. | 2 |
The many objections from real scientists will be countered with fictitious claims of ‘consensus.’ (Should that, too, be questioned — based on studies that show widely divergent scientific opinions — the political formula calls for stonewalling.) Never mind that science proceeds from openly discussed logic and evidence.... | 5 |
Unfortunately, global warming is an issue that is well suited to political demagoguery, which can be defined as pandering to misinformed voters and promising unrealistic solutions. Since opinion polls indicate a majority of the public believes warming is happening, politicians might think the safe strategy is to say ‘I... | 6 |
While ostensibly exploring the nominee’s judicial temperament, Feinstein instead targeted Barrett’s fealty to Catholic teaching, | 0 |
And indeed it is,” Lea commented. “As there seems to be little scientific agreement that mankind’s fossil-fuel burning is the major reason for climate change. | 2 |
Although the increase of atmospheric CO2 is well documented, it has not yet resulted in a measureable change in the earth’s climate, | 5 |
Real-world data does not show any hint of any form of the postulated greenhouse effect. | 2 |
Any serious effort will be beset by vested interests — both people pleading for money for their pet projects, and the “green blob” seeking to lure the government into ever more interfering, meddling, regulating and taxing in the name of saving the planet. And nothing will ever be enough for Greta, who will continue to ... | 6 |
The Paris climate treaty was just the latest step in the wrong direction, pushing hopes for water supply development still further out of reach for those who need it most. And the apparent focus of the World Health Organisation on climate change – rather than more primary healthcare needs – is symbolic of this abandonm... | 4 |
Every turbine you put up has to have back-up electricity produced because the wind goes up and down, it is inconsistent Wind farms are totally useless environmentally. But there are people who are getting a vast amount of money just to put these things up. And who pays for them? The people who use the electricity in Br... | 4 |
There is no human activity whatsoever that does not generate CO2, and no plant can grow without a generous supply of CO2 in the atmosphere. More than any other substance on earth, production of CO2 measures human prosperity and plant growth. | 3 |
The key features of the climate change debate are large degrees of uncertainty and a long time horizon. Although it is fairly well-established that the Earth’s atmosphere has warmed somewhat (one degree Fahrenheit) during the past century, it’s not clear why this happened. The warming may have been due to human imposit... | 2 |
So what’s the biggest lie one can conceive ? That the molecule we’re made of is warming the planet a little .

What’s so troubling about these potential regulations? For electricity consumers, the rules will undoubtedly lead to an uncertain future for coal, but clear ramifications for consumers: less fuel diversity and higher electricity costs. ’s actions have the potential to shutter hundreds of coal-fired power plants across... | 4 |
Also, as Peltier (2009) points out, the GRACE gravitational-anomaly record indicates that sea level has actually fallen in recent years. | 1 |
As a result, at higher CO2 concentrations, plants can better cope under conditions of drought, thereby vastly improving their productivity and growth as opposed to conditions experienced under lower CO2. | 3 |
While these forms of energy face challenges of cost and reliability, over time, additional research and development will bring prices down and deliver more reliable power—ultimately providing more clean energy to Americans.

As we both know or should know carbon dioxide is plant food. Other nutrients are needed, but CO2 is a plant's only food, it cannot survive without it. | 3 |
Another issue: most people die from cold deaths, not heat deaths. And so when temperatures increase, we’re going to see about 400,000 more heat deaths because of global warming by mid-century, you hear a lot about those, but you’re probably going to see 1.8 million fewer cold deaths. | 3 |
Will higher stringency requirements deliver greater reductions? Unlikely. The challenge with the oil sands is that current technology is not yet available for deployment to a significant degree […] ill higher stringency requirements impact production and revenue? Very likely. Adding a regressive charge to the oil sand... | 4 |

Then there's the issue of sea level change. Global warming and climate change are usually thought to mean that world sea levels will rise, perhaps disastrously. But according to US government scientific experts, in recent times (2010 and 2011, to be precise) phenomena driven by human carbon emissions have actually caus... | 1 |
Repeal the Nevada RPS (Renewable Portfolio Standard) in its entirety. Because of the renewable mandates, Nevadans are required to expend far greater resources to deploy the same amount of energy. This is the very definition of economic inefficiency. Repeal of the RPS will lead to higher living standards and faster jo... | 4 |
On June 2, the temperature in Stockholm rose only to 6C, the coldest high in 84 years. Earlier in the month one town recorded a temperature of 6C below zero the coldest June temperature in Sweden in 20 years. Snow even blanketed parts of northern Sweden. | 1 |
Remember Cap and trade? Pushed by Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid and praised by Mark Jacobs.

Do not screw the commercial and social heartbeat of our economy to mollify the environmental lobby to pay off your post pandemic debt. The needs to recover big and fast, using incentives, not more punitive knee jerk draconian taxes. | 4 |
It’s not clear that we are seeing unprecedented warming, and it’s definitely untrue that any warming trend can be assigned to human activities. Natural variations in climate are much more significant than any human activities. | 2 |
The absurdity of the hysterical Climate change nutters is becoming clearer by the day. | 6 |
Education may be the only thing people still believe in in the United States. To question education is really dangerous. It is the absolute taboo. It’s like telling the world there’s no Santa Claus. | 0 |
The Earth has indeed warmed during the last few decades and may warm further in the future. But the pattern of climate change is not consistent with the greenhouse effect being the main cause. | 2 |
The MWP lasted from about 950 to 1250AD, and temperature records appear to show it was even hotter than today. | 2 |
Belief in climate change is proof positive of mental retardation. In my lifetime alone I was supposed to die of this or that climate emergency no less than three times. Only a mental midget continues to believe in the same lie over and over. | 6 |
Climate alarmism validates the progressive impulse to micromanage others’ lives — their light bulbs, shower heads, toilets, appliances, automobiles, etc. | 6 |

It would seem that this is highly unlikely [that the Antarctic ice sheet might melt due to global warming] given current and near-future levels of atmospheric CO2: at current rates of increase it will take a century at least to reach 600 ppm, the level at which the ice sheet formed itself, and higher levels would be ne... | 1 |

As hurricanes are one of the leading causes of weather related damages in the U.S., and will likely remain so in the future, it is essential that any endangerment finding must recognize the complexity of this issue and that our best science currently suggests that our vulnerabilities largely arise from our climate and ... | 2 |
I fear that under net zero, cars will become a luxury; we will return to the world as it was before the 1960s, with the wealthy driving around on pleasantly empty roads, but with everyone else expected to take the bus […] That is simply cruel. | 4 |
In the field of energy, as in every other field, that government is best which governs least.
