Carbon dioxide, we’ve been told over and again, is the enemy that must be subdued if we are to avoid catastrophic global warming. It is, however, a faulty premise. Physics, not politics, tells us that man’s CO2 emissions will not cause catastrophic climate change nor an increase in extreme weather.
“The common belief that CO2 is the main driver of climate change and the EPA Endangerment Finding assertion that ‘elevated concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may reasonably be anticipated’ to endanger the public health and welfare are scientifically false,” conclude the authors of a new paper.

Funny how those SCREAMING abt CLIMATE CHANGE (which happens all the time) are now the ones burning cars and sending TOXIC FUMES into the climate. I haven't heard a thing abt CLIMATE CHANGE since Trump has been elected. HYPOCRACY and LIARS.

No longer an issue. We're now in the the age of Palestine and the undocumented. Gotta keep those protests going.

Not all propaganda is political. Some of it is scientific.
Been hearing about climate change for nearly 50 years yet the coastlines remain the same. New York and Boston have not fallen into the ocean. Guam has not tipped over.
Why in all the 'research' are only Western nations to blame? Saw a new term the other day: Cognitive warfare.

They add carbon dioxide to green houses to make them more productive.
What if this was a plot to create a food shortage!

For everyone that has been in a greenhouse and experienced "greenhouse gases" (A focus group buzzword), you experience OXYGEN! As that is what plantlife gives us.

The global warming scam has probably cost more over the past fifty years than any can imagine. Freeing us from these restrictions will result in an economic renaissance.

What if?!! IT ABDOLUTELY WAS!
I am in my 70s and clearly remember being told as a grade school kid that we on the verge of another ice age. Then suddenly in my 30s bring told that human beings are a blight on the earth and we are turning it into a steam cooker.

'Climate Change'/'Global Warming'/'Anthropogenic Climate Disruption' is, I believe, the largest, most expensive SCAM in history.
CO-2 is about 0.04% of the atmosphere, and man produces about 3% of the 0.04%.
(By the way, if the CO-2 concentration falls below 0.02%, all the plants -globally- die.)
'Mister Net Zero', John 'Lurch' Kerry went all over the world -via private jet, of course- to preach to us Great Unwashed how we needed to restrict every aspect of our lives in order to reach 'Net Zero' carbon emissions. Hypocrite!
The UN pushes this as a path to a global government.
Yet China, the country that produces more CO-2 than any other, that burns way more Coal than any other, declares itself a 'developing nation' and exempts itself from the UN CO-2 restrictions that the UN wants to place on everyone else. India, the country that burns the most coal than every other country except China, also refuses to even look at the CO-2 issue.
Every few years, the UN has a 'Climate Change Conference' in some exotic location where the conferees dine on caviar and filet mignon..... the last I heard, they had SEVENTY THOUSAND 'conferees'.
Gee, I wonder who 'picked up the tab' for THAT one?!
This is not a scientific conference. it is a huge Boondoggle. This 'conference' produced more CO-2 than the annual production of the 100 least-CO-2-producing countries..... COMBINED.
And NO-ONE is paying any attention except the countries in 'Western Civilization'.
This is a total SCAM.
Period.

The one thing the Left does really well is invent crises; racial, climate, LGBTQ, trans, illegals, defunding police...all products of warped minds bent on disruption. All square pegs in a world of round holes....they all belong on The Island Of Misfit Toys.

No "What ifs" about it.
"for them it’s all about raw political power and the acquisition of other people’s money"
It is also a geopolitical WEAPON against successful economies that tend to produce more CO2 from their industrial activities. It is also effective against such countries that have entrenched interests to influence government corruption and stupidity. This means the US. Note that China, India, Russia, Japan, Indonesia, and Iran do not seem too concerned about the "existential threat" they are contributing to. That's because they are in on the game.
The scientists the article points out have been saying the physics of how CO2 works does NOT support unchecked global warming. The models for Alarmists saying otherwise are useless because they are rigged and climate is simply too complex to be modeled accurately. Hard science vs. guesswork models.
Further, the most likely controller of warming is cosmic rays that continually hit the earth and trigger cloud formation. Clouds reflect heating solar energy back into space, cooling the planet. The level of cosmic rays hitting the earth is not steady. They are impacted by the sun's magnetic field that changes in cycles and by our planet's path through the galaxy. Models taking into account these two factors and associated cloud formation and cooling/heating, maps WELL to what has actually been measured in terms of global temperatures. Comparatively, CO2 has a minor impact, and as the article points out, rising CO2 levels will have significantly LESS impact on warming.
We HAVE the "answer" to global temperature changes but the reality is not useful for politicians since the cannot control the sun or Earth's path through the galaxy. The SOLUTION to any problems caused is to adapt to the new reality of whatever happens but it MUST be based on truth. For example, the rate of ocean level rise is NOT increasing dramatically. 3mm per year yields 1 foot in 100 years. This is NOT a crisis and may not even continue at that rate. Mitigation is possible for some areas that get hotter. There may be slow changes in flora and fauna in specific locations, which has been happening throughout Earth's history. Change happens. Let's stop faking up predictions.

President Trump needs an EO declaring thUS as developing country. If China, being many, many thousands of years old, is a developing nation, the relatively young, 250 years old US is a shoo- in!

The government could give money to scientists who support the idea that the moon is made of green cheese. The scientists who say it's actually made of rock are to be ostracized and kicked out of "science". More scientists jump on board to get that money(grants). Pretty soon you have hundreds, even thousands of "scientists" who claim the moon is made of green cheese. Do a survey of scientists and what a surprise, most all of them agree the moon is made of green cheese.

The basis of science is observations supporting theory, and revision of theory when observations. Nothing in science is fixed. Atoms gave west to protons, protons to quarks, quarks to string theory. Newton’s gravity gave way to spending of space time.
Here, we have weak correlation masking as a causal agent. It is weak in part because the data has been massaged so much as to be (ahem) questionable. It is weak because water vapor and forest organic emissions are excluded. It is weak because the gold standard of co2 measurements does not show the effect of global emissions decreases. The whole of the field rightfully should be examined. But there are those,who close rhere eyes and say..you can’t stand the truth. They are the enemies of science. I challenge these censors to explain why they choose this article to censor.

The good news is that former Democratic Party consultant Ruy Teixeira wrote at the Liberal Patriot blog last week that the findings of both the NYT-Siena Poll last October and the YouGov Poll last month show that climate change as a political issue is a "huge loser." Out of 18 voter priorities, it ranks 15th. Only 47% say they would contribute up to one dollar to reduce climate change; only 11% would give $100. A whopping 57% of Democrats and 84% of Republicans say we need more carbon-based energy and less Green New Deal, whose market share of energy production grew by only 1% during Biden's entire term of office, despite billions being lavished on it.

Our freedom and culture has been under attack from all sides. This attack cost the US hundreds of billions of dollars and counting. A tiny trace of CO2 not the problem.

Didn't you think it funny that suddenly the little climate huckster ...the Swedish girl...suddenly changes from climate to political warnings...quiet a change in narratives...good for Israel...they called Hamas' trick and took the munchkin to Israel....and sent her on her way back to Sweden....interesting to find out who recruited her for the boat ride to Hamas....I know Israel paid her plane fare home...the propaganda mission failed for Hamas.....

Until the climate models can accurately history match Earth's climate (see, "Tambora Eruption 1815, Year without a Summer," "Midieval Warm Period" and "Younger Dryas"), then they have no credible application for forecasting the impact of changes in CO2 concentrations.
