global warming

During a press conference held in Paris on December 2, 2015, Dr. James Hansen provided an explanation of what he called a simple market-based approach to address CO2 emissions. He suggests that a worldwide fee on all hydrocarbon fuels could be assessed at the domestic mine or port of entry. Hansen believes that cap and trade has been tried and has failed.

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.

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.
