Trump’s Decision to Downplay Climate Change Could Save $Billions

By /

Climate-change hysteria is the primary rationale for switching from abundant, affordable, reliable energy from fossil fuels to diffuse, expensive, unreliable “renewable energy from wind, solar, geothermal, biofuels, etc. It’s also a main driver of failure after failure, often wasting millions or even billions in taxpayer dollars.

A step toward restoring civility to climate-change debates?

Such rhetoric is far from helpful not only because it demonizes, making respectful dialogue difficult

This changes everything!

By /

“Consensus” climate science has for decades assumed that the vast majority of the increase in atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide (from about 280 parts per million by volume [ppmv] before the Industrial Revolution to about 400 today) has come from burning fossil fuels for energy. On that assumption, “consensus” scientists have alleged that human activity
