On June 2, 2017, in a Letter regarding US withdrawal from Paris climate agreement addressed to the MIT community, Professor Rafael Reif, president of MIT, criticized President Trump’s decision to exit the Paris Climate Accords. In this refutation, we propose to clarify the scientific understanding of the Earth’s climate and to dispel the expensively fostered popular delusion that man-made global warming will be dangerous and that, therefore, the Paris Agreement would be beneficial.
Professor Reif wrote, “Yesterday, the White House took the position that the Paris climate agreement – a landmark effort to combat global warming by reducing greenhouse gas emissions – was a bad deal for America.”
There is no science unambiguously establishing that CO2 is the chief cause of the warming observed since the end of the Little Ice Age. The opposite has been repeatedly demonstrated. Ice cores have revealed that changes in CO2 concentration follow, rather than precede, changes in temperature. During the last deglaciation, the latest high-resolution records show atmospheric CO2 lagging temperature by 50 to 500 years. Our enterprises and industries return to the air some of the CO2 that was formerly present there, and some warming may be expected. That warming will be small and beneficial.

But, but, the sky is FALLING !!!!
Help muh polar bears is dying. Stop driving your suv
Sadly so many people have been duped into believing the man-made global warming bs that reali data is irrelevant to them.
This is one of the best refutations of climate-cultism that I have seen. It hits all the bases within the Holocene.
The only thing more that they could have done is bring up the prospect of the next glacial period that is (based on past cycles) overdue.
yep, whatever comes one thing is sure, man does not have the ability to solve it, they just want to enslave us and take our hard earned money..only God through Christ will save those who seek him, and climate change does not represent the wise..I am not saying man is not at fault for many things bad on earth,,actually probably all bad things, but thinking science can fix it is so naive..
The change has been 0.8 inches in 100 years. Now if we’re saying we can keep it below 2”, we have about 250 years to see if it worked. And by that time, we’ll be on a new binge...like save the mosquito...
MIT should give its endowment to the global warming fight.
Thanks for posting this. ‘Pod
yep, I was working at nasa during the ozone hole hoax, the plasma scatterings seen of the poles showed them opening and closing, had nothing to do with ozone, just making some folks lots of money..same thing here
2/10ths of 1 degree over the next 80 years or the Planet and all it’s inhabitants are Toast.
We never had drugs this good when I was in school in the 60’s to early 70’s.
Yeah, but what about Sally Baliunous? I think there was a recent video of them speaking against the farce.
Not only that, according to the Media, President Trump committed TERRACIDE!
