Humans are destroying the planet by emitting greenhouse gases. We’ve heard that time and time again. But if you stand there and do nothing but breathe … you still are emitting greenhouse gases! But maybe not only in the way you think. Go outside and stand there for several minutes. No external heating, no cooling, […]

Empowered to impose sweeping restrictions on GHG emissions from all manner of human activity, the EPA has been free to impose unreasonable demands on electric generation, transportation, manufacturing and agriculture – just to name more prominent targets. Under the Obama and Biden administrations, with CO2 emissions being the focus, fossil fuels in general and coal
Much Harm and No Good from EPA Greenhouse Rule: Kill It Learn More »
On December 7, 2009—“a day that will live in infamy”—the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued what is known as the “CO2 endangerment finding,” which has been the linchpin of practically all federal regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, especially carbon dioxide. Over the past 15 years, the EPA, other federal agencies, and various states have issued

The Version 6.1 global area-averaged temperature trend (January 1979 through January 2025)remains at +0.15 deg/ C/decade (+0.22 C/decade over land, +0.13 C/decade over oceans). Source: Dr. Roy Spencer So, does carbon dioxide warm the Earth, or doesn’t it? Are extreme weather events getting more frequent and severe, or aren’t they? Why is there so much

Since the start of the Industrial Revolution, the concentration of CO2 in Earth’s atmosphere has risen from about 280 to about 417 parts per million. Most scientists studying the issue think most of the increase has come from burning fossil fuels. Some people, however, question that. For instance, one person wrote to us: From a

Fifty Indiana economists advise bad science and bad economics. Recently, 50 Indiana economists issued a public letter to their state’s legislature endorsing a “carbon tax” as an economically wise way to curb global warming by reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The fundamental premise of taxing CO2 emissions is that they cause more harm than good (and thus are what

Most discussions of global warming, or “climate change,” proceed on the assumption that warming is bad, and only bad—for people, for animals, and for plants. That assumption is mistaken. While global warming will almost certainly bring some harms to some locations, it will also almost certainly bring some benefits to other locations. Indeed, in some

Falsehoods always go down more smoothly when mixed with truths. And they’re probably the most credible when told by people who don’t know they’re false—the sincerity factor, you know. Well, the lead paragraph of a recent New York Times article is a model of just that: “The Trump administration on [June 19] replaced former President Barack Obama’s

A Cornwall Alliance follower on Facebook wrote, I remember hearing someone reputable say once that the known historical record actually shows increases in CO2 after periods of warming, rather than before them. I believe might have been referencing ice core records among others. I found him persuasive, and if this is true, it seems it

Recently someone wrote this to the Cornwall Alliance: I saw the following comment recently posted online in regard to a climate change column & I’d like to respond to him thoughtfully & intelligently: “CO2 when overproduced acts as a pollutant which our environment can not properly use to make oxygen. It acts as a
