Policies to ‘stop climate change’ are based on climate models that completely failed to predict the lack of warming for the past two decades. Observational data show clearly that the predictions of unacceptable warming caused by more carbon dioxide are wrong. Economic discount rates aside, policies designed to save the planet from more carbon dioxide are based on failed computer models. […] Human emissions of carbon dioxide, a transparent, odorless, non-toxic gas, essential for plant growth and contained at about 40,000 parts per million (ppm) in our own breaths. Carbon dioxide has been mercilessly demonized as ‘carbon pollution’, when in fact it is a benefit to the planet. Agricultural production has increased substantially and the Earth is greener today with the 400 ppm current levels of carbon dioxide than it was with preindustrial levels of about 280 ppm.

Why is this important? Because, by an equation called the Clausius-Clapeyron relation, as the space occupied by the atmosphere warms it is also capable of carrying near-exponentially more water vapor. Superficially, therefore, considerable amplification of the original warming might be expected. In practice, however, as you rightly point out, the likelihood is that more water vapor in the atmosphere will lead to the formation of more clouds. And it is here that the UN's analysis goes completely astray. For it makes no allowance for the additional cloud-albedo effect that these clouds generated by the water-vapor feedback will create. This leads to a catastrophic overvaluation by the IPCC of the water-vapor feedback; and, though this is partly compensated for by the treatment of all cloud albedo as a forcing, it creates an overstatement of the final warming effect of adding greenhouse gases such as CO2 to the atmosphere after all feedbacks have been taken into account. | 5_science_unreliable | FLICC | https://huggingface.co/datasets/fzanartu/FLICCdataset | en | CARDS | null | 563 |

The endangerment finding will hamstring the full exploitation of fossil fuels,” MacDougald said during his presentation at the Heartland Institute‘s 2017 America First Energy Conference. “Basically, every node of the industrial economy is subject to regulation for the sake of fixing the weather.”1 The idea or concept of regulating CO2 emissions to regulate the climate is a concept that knows virtually no bounds. CO2 is ubiquitous to plant, animal, and human life, and so the grant of regulatory authority to the government over CO2 emissions equates to regulatory authority over all of human activity. | 7_fossil_fuels_needed | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/harry-macdougald/ | en | null | null | 2,690 |

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change does not seem to be an irresponsible organization, and I know of no obvious reason to suspect that it is involved in any shenanigans of the CRU variety. At the same time, IPCC does not do its own research; it is dependent upon the research of others, and therefore upon the scrupulousness of others. Nonetheless, they write: ‘The observed widespread warming of the atmosphere and ocean, together with ice mass loss, support the conclusion that it is extremely unlikely that global climate change of the past 50 years can be explained without external forcing and very likely that it is not due to known natural causes alone.’ (That ‘very’ is an escalation from their previous position of just ‘likely.’) Having no scientific basis to disregard this conclusion, and no strong basis to suspect IPCC’s honesty, we ought to consider this claim carefully and sympathetically. | 0_not_relevant | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/kevin-d-williamson/ | en | null | null | 3,645 |

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a three atom molecule that humans produce with every exhale. Over the past decade, the belief has been propagated that excessive CO2 in the atmosphere leads to intense global warming that, if continued unabated, would cause glaciers to melt, rising the seas and engulfing coastal cities from San Francisco to New York. Despite tens of thousands of scientists signing petitions and stating their cases against the correlation between CO2 and rising temperatures, the link has been advocated by politicians and celebrities alike. Many of global warming’s supporters have no background in science and have convinced others of the CO2-global warming relationship without adequate proof. Even as people begin to realize that these ideas lack credibility, as evidenced by the change in terminology from ‘global warming’ to ‘climate change,’ politicians have continued to propose legislation to limit CO2 emissions erhaps it is important to address how some have come to the idea that limiting CO2 will have a positive impact on the environment. To reach this conclusion, one much first accept that global temperatures are rising, that human activity is responsible for the rise, and that limiting carbon emissions will alleviate this global warming. Many feel that limiting carbon emissions is a function that can only be performed by government. However, one should examine what types of interests would benefit from carbon emission limitations. Environmental groups have a bias towards findings of environmental damage and often rely on university research to endorse their claims. Research universities are predominantly funded by government, and in order to continue receiving grant funds, have an incentive to produce research that supports ideas maintained by government officials, such as the connection between CO2 and global warming.

Historically we have dealt with climate issues extreme weather, extreme heat extreme cold through a capital stock and growth of the economy and prosperity, which has brought us air conditioning and central heating, and all the good things that we have now that they didn’t have 100 years ago to shelter us from the vagaries of weather. | 4_solutions_harmful_unnecessary | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/roy-cordato/ | en | null | null | 4,859 |
Well, look, we can have that debate but ever time we’ve had it the Congress has said no, we do not want to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. That’s my position, and I’m glad that the Congress agrees with me,” Ebell responded. “And if people disagree with that, then let them fight the votes and change the Congress, and get a new Congress that believes in raising energy prices for absolutely no environmental result. | 4_solutions_harmful_unnecessary | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/myron-ebell/ | en | null | null | 3,993 |

As far as our GHG emissions are concerned, there is evidence that they increase the temperature a little. But the warming effect of carbon dioxide is a reducing one, meaning that as its level increases, more and more CO2 is required to produce a unit of warming. More and more CO2 will not warm the planet more and more, but less and less. | 2_not_human | FLICC | https://huggingface.co/datasets/fzanartu/FLICCdataset | en | CARDS | null | 1,016 |

First, we are very pleased the Government makes no reference to the Kyoto Protocol or purchasing ‘carbon credits’ from foreign governments in their announcements today,’ said Dr. Timothy Ball, Chairman of NRSP. ‘Kyoto ratification was a serious mistake that Canada must remedy by withdrawing from the Protocol in February 2008, the earliest date possible. Second, NRSP expresses support for the Government’s promise of open consultations with Canadians before emission regulations are decided upon, something that has never occurred to date despite over a decade of government action on the issues. ‘The opportunity will now exist to involve independent climate scientists, engineers and economists,’ explains NRSP advisor Dr. Tim Patterson, Carleton University earth sciences professor hird, NRSP considers it an advance that the government is now speaking about reducing greenhouse intensities over the short and medium term, instead of absolute emission caps. | 5_science_unreliable | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/natural-resources-stewardship-project/ | en | null | null | 4,551 |
This essay explores the history and consequences of scientific consensus building activities by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on the topic of dangerous anthropogenic climate change. A broad view of consensus is provided in the context of the philosophy of science and the social and psychological issues that contribute to bias. The role of scientific consensus in policy making is discussed. An overview is provided of critiques of the IPCC consensus process. A summary of recommendations is provided aimed at improving the interface between climate science and policy in ways that can support decision making associated with growing implications of ‘messy wickedness’ of the climate change problem. | 0_not_relevant | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/judith-curry/ | en | null | null | 3,342 |

But the life-saving value of industrial capitalism is profoundly unappreciated in today’s culture. This is not merely because people have forgotten or ignored its history, but because its opponents have actively sought to bury and distort that history.“Regardless of one’s views on global warming–and there is ample scientific evidence to reject the claim that manmade carbon emissions are causing catastrophe–the fact is that kneecapping the fossil fuel industry while diverting tax dollars into expensive, impractical forms of energy will not be an economic boon, but an economic disaster. | 4_solutions_harmful_unnecessary | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/ayn-rand-institute/ | en | null | null | 5,675 |
