All of their meager estimates don’t even take into account the fact that people will start heating and cooking with wood, charcoal, and dung and that smoke will go up chimneys with no emissions controls whatsoever. The net result of taking away coal-powered electricity is more greenhouse gases than ever!

This 0.02 degree of cooling could easily be offset by a single volcanic eruption about which we can do nothing. Our climate does does not have a tipping point...there are feedback mechanisms that have kept our climate on a relatively even keel for millennia. We have in the past seen massive global cooling which caused three ice ages where the northern hemisphere was basically covered by glaciers and global warming that melted those glaciers...all with no possible input from humankind. our puny measures to change CO2 concentrations by parts per million will not do anything.

Coal represented 25 percent of total U.S. exports in 2012.

This is the madness at the base of the climate alarmists policy—it actively harms the poor now, with the justification that it might help their grandkids avoid harm in 50 years.

There won't be any grandkids if their grandparents freeze to death.
