Once filed at , ‘Saving Coal’ will engage virtually at the state level with regulators directly and through to educate on the benefits of to the biosphere and the human environment. At the same time Craig will develop additional, original research showing the truth of which will be distributed as generated to the r... | 7 |
I vaguely remember responding to a survey as to whether or not the affordability of food for my family was important to me,” one participant said, “But that is far different than setting myself up as an authority on specific genetically engineered crops and authorizing my name for submission on form letters. | 0 |
If a carbon tax is implemented, it will likely be on top of the extensive regulation Canadians now contend with. Who’s offering to end regulation on carbon usage? Who’s offering to legalize certain kinds of incandescent light bulbs? Who’s offering to end the government’s mandates on energy efficiency in cars, trucks, w... | 4 |
I don’t agree with (same-sex marriage). I think marriage ought to continue to be between one man and one woman. So do most Kansans, for what it matters. I think when it was on the ballot (the state constitutional ban on same-sex marriage), 70 percent (voted in favor of the ban). There was overwhelming support for it in... | 0 |
Are you saying that the greenhouse effect could even help improve biodiversity in the long term? | 3 |
The beauty of this president is he’s not really an ideologue,” she said. “He’s a business guy and he wants results. This is the best time if you are an energy, or environmental policy, or free marketeer. If you have an idea that has results, there is no better time than right now. | 0 |
In 2014, expect more states to press this issue both in the East and the West as state legislators are likely to continue to work together through ALEC and other organizations in order to gain back their land,” Wynn wrote at ALEC. | 0 |
Former employees familiar with Energy In Depth said the site’s content had direction from Exxon Mobil, one of the major clients of the division that worked on these oil and gas campaigns,” Tabuchi wrote. “The Energy In Depth website notes its affiliation with an energy trade group that Exxon is a member of, though not... | 0 |

Last year, the U.S. reduced its emissions by 3.9 percent. That reduction was larger than that of any other major industrialized country. In contrast, China's carbon-dioxide output soared by 6 percent and India's by 6.9 percent, while Brazil's rose by 2.5 percent and Mexico's by 4.3 percent. | 4 |
In Black Swan Climate Theory II we explain, in depth, why, in my opinion, I believe this is not an accident. I have concluded American basic climate data has been hijacked and corrupted within NOAA through the use of a simple master computer algorithm that I have repeated here. | 5 |
Abundant, affordable energy is a key driver of prosperity. We must unleash resources by removing regulatory barriers and keeping taxes low. The environment improves with economic growth and prosperity, so an overriding goal of environmental policy should be to avoid burdening employers and entrepreneurs. | 7 |
Sure enough, the Climategate emailers, who effectively but invisibly control the UN's climate panel to a dangerous extent, pretended that Professor Reiter's nomination papers had not been received. | 6 |
For many Americans, scientific evidence about the virus’s relatively mild impact on the vast majority of the population only fuels their desire to return to work, school, and community. They see the virus as a large risk for a small segment of the population and a small risk for the vast majority of us, and, while ther... | 0 |
Taxing air travel simply because you want to be seen to do something … it does nothing for the environment, nor will it do anything for the environment. | 4 |
They label skeptics as deniers, implying they are Holocaust deniers. These promoters claim that skeptics are shills for the tobacco industry, the oil industry, etc. In short, they try to eliminate any possibility of public, rational discourse on the scientific issues. | 6 |
Fossil fuels help the quality of life for all Americans, keeping energy affordable, reliable, as well as keeping down food and other costs and helping job growth. IWV supports policymakers who are committed to reducing artificial barriers to domestic energy production rather than creating costly and unworkable mandates... | 7 |
The overwhelming data point to no detectable global warming over the past 60 years. | 1 |
By the UN’s own estimates, the average person in 2100 will be 450 per cent richer than today. Global warming will make this increase 4 per cent smaller, reducing it by 16 percentage points. It means that the average person in 2100 will ‘only’ be 434 per cent as rich. This is not a disaster. | 3 |
Nothing Canada can do to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (already a small and diminishing fraction of global emissions) would be enough to exert a measurable influence on the climate. | 4 |
I’m convinced that after years of studying the phenomenon, global warming is not the real issue of temperature. That is the issue of a new ideology or a new religion. A religion of climate change or a religion of global warming. This is a religion which tells us that the people are responsible for the current, very sma... | 2 |
Of course, those isotopic measurements have been made by labs around the world. You know, it’s very, very well established science. But John Christie did not agree. And when Professor Koonin asked him, well, why don’t you agree? John Christie said, because I did not make the measurements myself. And again, you could so... | 5 |
I don’t see much change in these years when we were supposed to have done something about this already. If we were really serious about this thing why don’t we talk about nuclear power? | 4 |
CO2, by itself, is not a significant greenhouse gas, and there is no scientific evidence that it can raise global temperatures significantly. | 2 |
Other climate gaffes include the claims about the worsening of extreme weather events due to climate change. Contrary to popular belief, there has been no observable increase in extreme weather events. | 1 |
CO2 is a useful trace gas in the atmosphere, and the planet would actually benefit by having more, not less of it, because it is not a driver for Global Warming and would enrich our vegetation, yielding better crops to feed the expanding population,” Peden claimed in an editorial posted on his website. If we’re right, ... | 3 |

PSI is not beholden for its funds to any corporation, political party or undisclosed source. PSI functions on the income generated from its members and stakeholders ostensibly via book sales, consultancy fees and unsolicited charitable donations. | 0 |
They expect the citizens to be utterly stupid, and not know that the Earth pivots on It's axes every 1500 years. That causes the Earth to get warmer and then cooler. | 2 |
There’s a difference between illegal and wrong. There are a lot of wrong things that may be legal. And I think it’s wrong, it’s wrong for billionaire foreign foundations to gang up on our economy. And their campaign killed pipelines. Their campaign led to the loss of tens of thousands of energy jobs in this province. I... | 0 |
I see over here: ‘Trump digs coal,’” he said. “That’s true. I do.” He went on to promise an increase in coal mining jobs by repealing Obama’s “ridiculous rules and regulations. | 7 |
Add those that preach climate change and can't sort their recycle/compost/landfill or turn off lights in unused rooms. They're the least concerned about hopping a private jet or zoom to their business airport in a limo so they can hobnob with their elite buddies. | 6 |
Climate change driven partly by human-generated CO2 emissions is a huge risk ― agree or disagree? | 0 |
They hugely exaggerated the impact of climate change. The last IPCC report showed an increase of just 0.05 C per decade, despite CO2 emissions rising. | 5 |
It will not even join the Disease Hall Of Fame. Asian flu in 1957, which beat COVID-19, killed 1 to 4 million, and the same with 1968’s Hong Kong flu. (Fauci includes neither of these.) | 0 |
It is power over people by unelected activists, often funded from outside Australia. | 6 |
We should keep underlining that there is not just a problem, there is a solution. That is gas to nuclear, backed with investment in fundamental research, and taking advantage of technological advances […] we may therefore need to be more dismissive of current renewable technology as an unnecessary complication. | 4 |
The WOTUS rule was an unconscionable threat to the careful and delicate system of Western water regulation, affecting our ability to live, work, and raise families in the nation’s most beautiful places. | 0 |
Well, there’s certainly ideology that’s connected to climate science. And then there’s certainly corporations that are invested in this, this prospect of green energy and the concept of green energy. And they’re profiting off of it and pushing these different things, whether it be electric car mandates or whatever it i... | 6 |
The CSIRO, for example, has 27 scientists dedicated to climate change. It and the Weather Bureau have become global warming advocates. They continue to propagate the myth of anthropological climate change and are likely to be background critics of the Coalition’s Direct Action policies. | 6 |
The government authorised aircraft substance dispersal on Sunday to trap the sun’s heat for 48 hours in order to get @metoffice the high record temperatures they wanted to justify government’s climate change policies and laws to restrict public rights and freedoms in future. | 4 |
It would be the first time that man has ever been responsible for it [warming] in recorded history. We go back ten million years, and if you’re going to actually believe what we have as the reference records, there’s no linkage to CO2 and temperature. Unless of course it’s one of these books, these 3d books, you gotta ... | 2 |
The science [on tobacco smoke], of which the EPA avails itself, is that which happens to fit the political agenda of the moment …. the one certainty following the EPA’s report on tobacco smoke, is that the available science is inconclusive. | 5 |
If the Paris accords are just another catalyst to temperamental environmentalism, they will reinforce these counterproductive trends, we will lose more time, waste more money and squander more opportunity to help the environment,” Myers wrote at The Daily Herald of Everett, Washington. | 4 |
Global average temperatures peaked in 1998 and since have cooled slightly, despite steadily rising levels. Except in its Western Peninsula, Antarctica is gaining ice, and Antarctic sea ice reached an all-time high in 2007. Arctic ice is seasonably normal, and in 2008 the Northern Hemisphere was covered by more snow th... | 1 |
Andy Dessler's study will not stand hard scrutiny. COP16 delegates worried about the ongoing credibility problems of climate modeling will find no solace in Dessler's work. | 5 |
Households in 29 states are and will continue to see higher electricity rates, lower economic growth and, subsequently, lower standard of livings without outright repeal of these crony capitalist policies, | 4 |
Although the social cost of carbon is based on an interesting class of statistical models, no matter what estimate the Biden administration provides, the assumptions used to generate it can almost surely be manipulated to give lawmakers virtually any other (even negative) estimate of the social cost of carbon, thereby ... | 5 |

This has become an issue of pride for me, for Calgary, Alberta, and Canada. | 0 |
Fear of excessive warming from more CO2 in the atmosphere, including that released from human activity, has caused some people to advocate substantial and expensive reductions in CO2 emissions. But observations, such as those on our CO2 Coalition website, show that increased CO2 levels over the next century will cause ... | 3 |
Let me be very clear. First, I believe that the climate is changing. I am not in denial. Second, CO2 is a contributor or ‘forcing function’ for climate change – certainly not the exclusive forcing function, but a major contributor – and it does require an energy strategy in this country and globally to address the long... | 4 |
One-fiftieth of a Celsius degree of warming forestalled is all that complete, global compliance with the Copenhagen Accord for an entire decade would achieve. Yet the cost of achieving this result an outcome so small that our instruments would not be able to measure it would run into trillions of dollars. Do your Treas... | 4 |
Computer models of the climate are at the heart of calls to ban the cheap, reliable energy that powers our thriving economy and promotes healthier, longer lives. | 4 |
Branding matters. If you get a piece of mail, or you see an ad, or you get a phone call, and it’s from some group that you think you don’t like, you never pay attention to what they have to say.

There’s no science behind the arguments the vocal minority are making, | 0 |
Meanwhile in the real world, no convincing evidence whatsoever has emerged to support the threadbare theory that anthropogenic CO2 is causing the planet to warm in ways which are dangerous or unprecedented. Still, the theory rests entirely on computer models which, increasingly, appear to diverge from the actual observ... | 5 |
The article mentions increased surface temperatures 5-7 degrees but doesnt mention the cold snap resulting in darn near freezing the Great Lakes over. It also mentions increases in swimmers itch, from duck feces. Is that a result of an increasing duck and goose population or climate change? | 1 |
I don't give a toss about so-called 'Climate Change'. The day I start caring about it is the day that corrupt, hypocritical, scumbag politicians give up their limos, private jets & taxpayer-funded perks. It's also the day they stop preaching & lying to us - in other words NEVER! | 6 |
Finally there is a decent survey on the topic, and it shows that less than half of what we would call ‘climate scientists’ who research the topic and for the most part, publish in the peer reviewed literature, would agree with the IPCC’s main conclusions. Only 43% of climate scientists agree with the IPCC ‘97%’ certain... | 5 |
And as Dr Goklany goes on to explain, the WHOs results use climate model results that apparently overstate the warming trend three-fold compared to observations despite using 27% less greenhouse gas forcing. | 5 |
Big Wind succeeded in securing themselves another taxpayer-funded, billion-dollar windfall, proving once again they are afraid to compete on a level playing field. You can bet they are already gearing up to take another run at picking our pockets again next year, but they won’t do so without a fight from AEA. You can t... | 4 |
There is a considerable presence within the scientific community of people who do not agree with the IPCC conclusion that anthropogenic CO2 emissions are very probably likely to be primarily responsible for the global warming that has occurred since the Industrial Revolution. | 5 |
While the world is in turmoil and falling apart in so many different ways—especially with —our president is worried about global warming,” he said. “What a ridiculous situation. | 6 |
Current climate observations indicate that the events which kill or injure the most people and have the biggest economic impact are not affected significantly by changing greenhouse gas concentrations. Insisting that these events must be caused or exacerbated by human activity reflects a denial of basic climate science... | 5 |
Nor is there evidence of an increase in floods globally. Since 1965, more parts of the U.S. have seen a decrease in flooding than have seen an increase. And from 1940 to today, flood damage as a percentage of GDP has fallen to less than 0.05 per cent per year from about 0.2 per cent. | 1 |

Brad — thanks for your email. Are you suggesting this blizzard is a result of global warming? | 1 |
Climate is changing and it is part of the normal cycle – not human-induced. You are actually correct that I support capitalism and freedom and am against authoritarianism and totalitarian systems. What you fail to understand is that climate change is an agenda to eliminate your freedom. The entire argument is to suppor... | 2 |
The climate has always changed‚ it's NEVER the same. Civilization expands during warming periods and it collapses during cold periods. | 2 |
Many of these fear mongers also say we should stop burning fossil fuels that are causing this mayhem. | 7 |
We’ve talked about global warming as climate improvement. […] The good news is that the bad news is wrong. | 3 |
The biggest threat to American energy independence comes from […] the environmental movement and the assortment of government agencies with which the environmental movement has been cooperating now for decades.

We all owe a debt of gratitude to the skeptics who have courageously disputed the global warming/climate change hoax and to The Heartland Institute that has provided a platform for them to gather to continue their efforts to educate a public that has been deluged by a massive deception. | 6 |
I have come to the conclusion that the Mont Pelerin Society is no longer an effective force for freedom, becoming instead another tool in behalf of US hegemony, ringing Russia with US military bases and puppet governments in the name of ‘supporting democracy’,” Roberts wrote. “I don’t see how the society can function i... | 0 |

To put a limit on the use of fossil fuels without adequate economically viable alternatives is to condemn the Third World to perpetual structural poverty. | 7 |
He will argue that the 2008 Climate Change Act, which ties Britain into stringent targets to reduce the use of fossil fuels, should be suspended until other countries agree to take similar measures. If they refuse, the legislation should be scrapped altogether, he will say. | 4 |
But don’t be too frightened: the same governments who authorize the UN reports never take the steps needed to reduce the supposedly horrifying carbon dioxide level. Hidden behind their teeth-chattering fear of fossil fuels is their awareness that oil, gas, and coal have helped bring dramatic improvements in health, wel... | 7 |
One can only hope that this fire season will light a fire under Canada’s fire-foolish policymakers, and finally motivate them to take the rational course—fighting fire risk with fire use, rather than pointing to the climate sky gods and calling for appeasement measures that will not affect Canada’s risk of forest fires... | 4 |

Climate change has done more good than harm so far and is likely to continue doing so for most of this century. This is not a right-wing fantasy; it is the consensus of expert opinion. | 3 |
Members may shake their heads, but I have raised this with the Met Office, and also with Professor Jim Skea. Scientists refer to it as the Pause, and they have come up with numerous explanations for it. I have heard about volcanoes, for instance, and the heat going into the ocean. At a meeting in this building, Profess... | 5 |
Fear often dominates discussion about the earth’s climate. Many people have been led to believe that drastic measures are necessary to prevent the risk of negative future outcomes, such as global warming. As such, we now face a situation where politicians are misallocating resources because they are responding to manuf... | 5 |
The aspiration to reduce emissions is right, but there is a better way to get there: encouraging innovation in fission, fusion, shale gas and carbon capture rather than forcing today’s thermodynamically inadequate renewable energy systems on us and further ruining our competitive edge. | 4 |
Reducing power plants’ air pollution would result in ‘14,100 fewer premature deaths,’ among other ‘significant health benefits,’ ‘by dramatically reducing fine particle pollution caused by SO2 and NOx emissions. EPA estimates that reducing power plants’ SO2 and NOx emissions by approximately 60% will deliver ‘particula... | 0 |
By ignoring these realities, policy prescriptions calling for a reduction in fossil fuel use are found—on this basis alone—to be ill-advised. Yet there are still other important reasons to reject them. | 4 |
When you don’t agree with them, what do they call you? They call you a denier. Or they said you don’t believe in it. Well, you believe in things that require faith. Some people don’t believe in Jesus. Some people don’t believe in Buddha. If it’s scientific, then belief doesn’t even enter into the conversation. And so e... | 5 |

If there were a genuine climate crisis, the IPCC wouldn’t feel impelled to surreptitiously turn the dial to claim that there is one […] The fact that it does so constitutes strong evidence for the non-existence of a climate crisis. | 5 |
If, hypothetically, there are scientific gaps in the theory of man-made global warming, for the most part we are leaving it up to volunteers to find them. It’s as if the government has funded a team of QCs for the prosecution, but spent nothing on legal aid for the defence, | 5 |
