Global Warming Energy Restrictions Threaten U.S. National Security

A review of all risk factors reveals that imposing carbon dioxide restrictions on the U.S. economy would diminish, rather than enhance, American military preparedness. By James Taylor | May 10, 2019 Global warming activists claim climate change poses a threat to America’s military and national security. Their primary assertion is that alleged negative impacts from global warming—such as crop failures, droughts, and extreme weather events—create political, social, and military upheaval. To enhance our military security, these activists claim America should impose carbon dioxide restrictions on the U.S. economy and the American people. The United States sustains the most powerful military in …

Climate Change Reconsidered II : Fossil Fuels

Summary for Policymakers NIPCC Oct. 3, 2018 Introduction Climate Change Reconsidered II: Fossil Fuels, produced by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), assesses the costs and benefits of the use of fossil fuels 1 by reviewing scientific and economic literature on organic chemistry, climate science, public health, economic history, human security, and theoretical studies based on integrated assessment models (IAMs) and cost-benefit analysis (CBA). It is the fifth volume in the Climate Change Reconsidered series and, like the preceding volumes, it focuses on research overlooked or ignored by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (see …

RESPONSIVENESS OF ATMOSPHERIC CO2 TO ANTHROPOGENIC EMISSIONS: A NOTE

JAMAL MUNSHI ABSTRACT: A statistically significant correlation between annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions and the annual rate of accumulation of CO2 in the atmosphere over a 53-year sample period from 1959-2011 is likely to be spurious because it vanishes when the two series are detrended. The results do not indicate a measurable year to year effect of annual anthropogenic emissions on the annual rate of CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere.

RESPONSIVENESS OF ATMOSPHERIC CO2 TO FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS: PART 2

JAMAL MUNSHI ABSTRACT: This short note is a validation of a previous work which found no correlation between changes in atmospheric CO2 and fossil fuel emissions at an annual time scale. In this work, this result is tested for robustness with respect to sample period selection within a range of data availability. A resampling procedure similar to bootstrap is used. Resampling ensures that the failure to find a correlation is not an artifact of the sample period chosen. The results validate the robustness of the previous finding and imply that here is no evidence that atmospheric CO2 is responsive to …

Is Carbon Dioxide Endangering the Planet? Craig Idso vs. Jeffrey Bennett. A Debate

Soho Forum May 6, 2019 Resolution: There is little or no rigorous evidence that rising concentrations of carbon dioxide are causing dangerous global warming and threatening life on the planet. For the affirmative: Craig Idso is the founder, former president, and currently chairman of the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change. The Center was founded in 1998 as a non-profit public charity dedicated to discovering and disseminating scientific information pertaining to the effects of atmospheric carbon dioxide enrichment on climate and the biosphere. Dr. Idso’s research has appeared many times in peer-reviewed journals, and is the …

The Dilution Effect

Nov79.com A major error of global warming is defying the fact that each carbon dioxide molecule is surrounded by 2,500 air molecules and has no way to spread the heat around. This dilution divides the CO2 temperature by 2,500 for the average temperature, which is no heating at all. To heat the air 1°C average, each CO2 molecule would have to be 2,500°C—an impossibility. At 400 parts per million in the atmosphere, CO2 is too dilute to heat the surrounding air. Conducting heat to nearby molecules by bumping increases the number of molecules radiating away the added heat, which prevents …

The Sun Also Warms: Dr. Willie Soon Shows the Sun-Climate Connection

Astrophysicist and climate scientist Dr. Willie Soon gave this presentation titled “The Sun Also Warms” at the Friends of Science 16th Annual Major Event on April 10, 2019 at the Red & White Club in Calgary, Alberta. Dr. Soon probed the long history in the quest to understand Sun-climate connections. He presents clear evidence of a strong urban heat island effect that contaminates the government temperature data sets. Using a rural temperature data set, he shows strong correlations between the sun’s energy and temperatures. The sun’s irradiance varies much more than sunspots.

Man-Made “Climate Change” Hoax

By Len Duggan | June 2, 2016 CO2 Climate Change Hoax This article will show how some highly emotive issues have been wrongly linked to atmospheric CO2 concentrations. It will then address the media claims that the “science is settled” and show that most climate scientists actually believe man’s emissions of gases are not responsible for global warming. It will then show that mistakes were made in the design of the climate models that were used by the IPCC to identify CO2 as the driver for global warming and that these sub-standard climate models were then used to make erroneous predictions of global temperature change …

John Christy Climate Change Testimony Highlights May 13

House Natural Resources Committee Democrats Published on May 14, 2015 Dr. John Christy of the University of Alabama-Huntsville testified before the Natural Resources Committee on May 13, 2015, that carbon dioxide emissions have no significant impact on climate change — a position shared by approximately 3 percent of professional climate scientists. The highlights of his testimony are included here.

Rising CO2 Levels Greening Earth

From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change on April 25. The greening represents an increase in leaves on plants and trees equivalent in area to two times the continental United States. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/Kayvon Sharghi
