No, we didn't destroy your youth.
We created a world that offers young people better chances to live than ever before in history.
Written to Greta Thunberg by the Mayor of Tubingen, Germany in Bild Magazine.
I have had a lot of time to think about the weather, the climate, and my future career plans. Part of my study between periods of clearing my driveway, deck etc. has been reading James Hansen’s excellent book titled Storms of my Grandchildren: The Truth About the Coming Climate Catastrophe and Our Last Chance to Save Humanity. Count me as no longer a skeptic, and no longer patient about our need to take effective action now to reduce the tons of greenhouse gases and other pollutants that humans are dumping into the atmosphere every day. - Rod Adams
Just stop acting like you’re making some great sacrifice for the planet because you outsource your pollution and labor to China who couldn’t give a rat’s backside about your virtue-signaling fetish.
• Earth’s temperature has risen by 0.14° F (0.08° C) per decade since 1880, and the rate of warming over the past 40 years is more than twice that: 0.32° F (0.18° C) per decade since 1981.
The website: allaboutenergy.net doesn't raise a question about NOAA’s climate data although others do raise the question of manipulation and misinterpretation. We question conclusions about atmospheric CO2 being the main driver of Earth's climate and claims that controlling atmospheric CO2 will control Earth's climate. Furthermore, we question claims that extracting CO2 from the atmosphere or limiting emissions from fossil fuels will control CO2 in the atmosphere. We think that CO2 emissions from vast CO2 reservoirs in the oceans and life on land are dominant controls of long-term atmospheric CO2.
Earth Day 2021. The level of concern and the degree of activity being directed towards slowing the additions of heat-trapping gases to the atmosphere has never been greater. This would be encouraging except that decades of study, thousands of scientific reports and billions invested has yielded little progress. Prior to the economic slow-down caused by Covid-19, even the rate of growth of emissions had not been meaningfully reduced. Now, with economies starting to recover, global emissions are rising again, when what is needed is for these emissions to be dramatically declining.
Theoretical physicist and Democrat voter Freeman Dyson has expressed his disappointment with President Obama’s stance on climate change. To any unprejudiced person reading this account, the facts should be obvious that the non-climatic effects of carbon dioxide as a sustainer of wildlife and crop plants are enormously beneficial, that the possibly harmful climatic effects of carbon dioxide have been greatly exaggerated, and that the benefits clearly outweigh the possible damage.
John Holdren, Science Advisor to the White House - Climate change is happening even faster than previously estimated; global CO2 emissions since 2000 have been higher than even the highest predictions, Arctic sea ice has been melting .. .. .. and the rise in the sea level has become more rapid. The need for urgent action to address climate change is now indisputable. Compare these words from John Holdren with the photos on all articles on this website, and the photo sent by Holdren showing the ocean in Cape Cod frozen in 2015. He lamented, "Endless Winter." Do the President and the Pope know about this freezing of the ocean in Cape Cod? Holdren's "consensus," doesn't belong in science. See article by E. Royrvik."Consensus and Controversy."
Barack Obama is determined that the world cut back on use of fossil fuels, purportedly because of his conviction that carbon dioxide from use of this very valuable energy source is going to cause catastrophic man-made global warming. Paul Driessen and Roger Bezdek describe what they think the outcome will be. Meanwhile, the natural processes that govern Earth's climate will continue to be the dominant factors determining Earth's climate. In nearly all cases, plentiful energy from fossil fuels and nuclear power will be absolutely necessary to continue to improve the lives of billions of people and deal with climate change from all causes.
John Shanahan is a civil engineer and past president of Go Nuclear, Inc. and Environmentalists for Nuclear - USA: There is a titanic struggle regarding nuclear energy, fossil fuels, wind, solar and bio-fuels and the topic of man-made global warming and man-made sea level rise. This article presents the position of the website: allaboutenergy.net. The right combination of energy sources and position on the topic of catastrophic man-made global warming and sea-level rise is extremely important for humanity, the environment and all of nature.
Here is a summary of some of the most dramatic predictions of man-made climate catastrophes by Al Gore, James Hansen, John Holdren, K.E.F. Watt, and Paul Ehrlich.
John Holdren. The claim that this topic (mankind's use of fossil fuel and related CO2) is “extremely polarizing” among scientists and engineers is preposterous. The only scientists and engineers who consider the human influence on global climate to be controversial are (a) those who have not delved into the evidence and (b) those who are blinded by ideology. The national academies of science of every major country in the world that has one are unanimous in the view that human interference in the global climate system is a reality. Here are recent quotes. For another viewpoint, see article by Donald Rapp posted under "Warmers" titled "Climate Change, The Real Issues.".)
John Droz, physicist. Publisher of "Energy and Environmental Newsletter." Editor of http://wiseenergy.org/. The proponents of Climate Change insist that we are facing an imminent threat to our very existence. To prevent this catastrophe they assert that we must make immediate, consequential changes — particularly regarding our energy policies. The primary solution advocated by the major Climate Change advocates is wind energy. The climactic question is: If we accept the Climate Change contention and spend Trillions of dollars to assiduously implement their wind energy solution, will the existential threat be extinguished in the short time-table they say we have? "Greenpeace and others protesting CO2 and global warming, based on a mere BELIEF, like any other religion, is as laughable (if it weren't for their willful and unlawful disruption of honest TAX-PAYING citizens' lives) as demanding the government 'do something' about the length of daylight, or the force of gravity, or the composition of Jupiter.
While the price tag of Democrats’ spending bill has fluctuated between $3.5 trillion and $1.75 trillion because of intraparty disharmony, some things haven’t changed. The legislation is still full of destructive policies that would wreck our economy.
The Biden administration is attempting to jam the bill through an evenly divided Senate with the help of Vice President Harris’s tie breaking vote.
