"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.
Richard Lindzen and William Happer are not political hacks. They are serious researchers with extensive experience and robust academic backgrounds. Lindzen is emeritus professor of earth, atmospheric and planetary sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Happer a Princeton University emeritus physics professor. What they have to say is important in a world that is sodden with climate-related myths and folk tales.
While Democrats and their leftist counterparts in other advanced nations have gone to war on carbon dioxide, Lindzen and Happer argue that cutting CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050 and eliminating fossil fuel use “will have a trivial effect on temperature.”
How can they say this? After all, don’t 97% of scientists agree that humanity’s use of fossil fuels is causing our world to overheat? (They don’t, more on that later.)
Lindzen and Happer confidently make those statements because “unscientific evidence is the fundamental basis” behind the rush to net zero GHG emissions as well as the EPA’s claim that “elevated concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere may reasonably be anticipated to endanger the public health and to endanger the public welfare of current and future generations.”

Any human concerned CO2 will destroy Mother Earth should do their part and stop exhaling their own CO2.
The world would become MUCH better with those insanely stupid idiots gone.
Dude, take your meds. I have known that the Climate Change hysteria is a hoax for decades. I posted an article which was published today, giving those of us who care about truth and freedom some additional ammunition to refute any assertions made by true believers. I found the article interesting, and thought other Freepers would too, so I posted it.
You seem to think I have just now come to an epiphany on the topic. Calm down and keep your assumptions to yourself.
My original "rude" comment was mild, and aimed at those who foolishly believe the bolsheviks. You reacted as though it was directed at you personally. You sounded distraught and in need of some tissues.
<>Welcome to the party, pal.<>
Add insulting snark to increasing rudeness . . . pal.
Like the hockey stick graph?
It was a quote, and a relevant allusion.
“Like the hockey stick graph?”
Yeah, EXACTLY like that.
Stop playing stupid...climate change has always been a thing since the beginning of time....and man isn't going to change it.
Also banned - freon gas - used in refrigerators.
Claim - freon destroys atmospheric ozone.
Ozone - blocks certain harmful UV wave lengths from sun shine that cause skin cancer and eye damage. Plants are also damaged.
Probably a fraudulent threat, but I forget the exact science involved, in the early 1980s.
Well . . .
Duh
“What if”😂😂😂😂🤔
Seems a reasonable question to the curious at heart.
The kids I teach in Sunday School all agree that climate change is a massive hoax. Maybe the kids are alright after all.
Absolutely! I’m a Millennial, sure, but I identify much more with Gen-X than anyone else, to be honest.
Specifically, I know these handful of axioms: Jesus is Lord, democrats are demonic, and millennials, by and large, are morons. Not all, mind you. But certainly the vast majority.
