Carbon dioxide is a trace gas with a concentration of 0.04 percent of the atmosphere. It has the ability to absorb a narrow band of energy and prevent that particular wavelength of heat from escaping to space. It can, therefore, be called a greenhouse gas.

If you go out 50 years the error bars around the projections are already so wide that we won’t be able to measure the positive or negative effects of anything we do right now. So how in the world are you going to solve a problem when you can’t even measure the consequence of your actions – like, how is that even possible? What’s the solution – what are we going to do? Switch to wind and solar? Well good look with that. Just try it and see what happens. We can’t store the power. I look at Bjorn Lomborg‘s work. I really like Bjorn Lomborg. I think he’s a real genius. | 5_science_unreliable | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/jordan-peterson/ | en | null | null | 3,081 |
The Snyder administration’s decision to wave the white flag and implement EPA’s carbon regulation is bad news for Michigan families. The governor claims this approach ‘retains control’ for Michigan, yet the opposite is true. Implementing this regulation, when serious legal challenges persist, effectively hands over the keys to Michigan’s energy future to unelected bureaucrats in Washington. Once Gov. Snyder signs away Michigan’s control over its energy future to Obama’s EPA, there is no turning back Obama and EPA want states to think their only choices are to submit a state plan or have a federal plan imposed on them. Gov. Snyder has apparently fallen for this false choice. The real choice is between shielding Michigan from this harmful carbon regulation or helping President Obama carry it across the finish line as the sun sets on his presidency Obama’s carbon regulation is a national energy tax that will burden Michiganders, especially the poor, with higher energy prices and fewer jobs, yet will have no impact on climate change. Michigan voters made clear their stance on higher energy taxes when they overwhelmingly rejected Governor Snyder’s gas tax proposal earlier this year. The governor should listen to the citizens in his state and join the ranks of several of his fellow governors by rejecting the Obama administration’s carbon regulation. | 4_solutions_harmful_unnecessary | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/institute-energy-research/ | en | null | null | 3,466 |

It’s no secret today that fossil fuels are being blamed sometimes solely for global climate change. These attacks on resources that keep our energy cost reliable and are truthfully less environmentally impactful than today’s renewable sources at scale, this is a major challenge for us to address in coming future. Our goal is to provide Texans with facts and not fictions. Texas energy resources, including fossil fuels, will continue to provide reliable energy and economic prosperity for generations to come. | 7_fossil_fuels_needed | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/jim-wright/ | en | null | null | 4,023 |
President Trump’s State of the Union Address was a five star performance last night across the board, and his energy comments were oxygen in the room after eight years of deficiency under President Obama. In Obama’s second term, he and the Democratic Party decided Americans would not be able to use fossil fuels at all after 2050. By doing so, they stifled an economy the Trump administration has turned loose, benefitting all Americans. President Trump is on the path to becoming a great president because he embraces the fulsome use of fossil fuels, including ‘beautiful, clean coal’. Thank you, Mr. President. | 7_fossil_fuels_needed | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/fred-palmer/ | en | null | null | 2,046 |

There seem to be very simple rules behind the narrative being spun to the public. First, that climate change offers nothing positive, only harm. Second, that the only way to tackle that harm is to end climate change. The idea of adapting to it is considered sacrilege. | 3_not_bad | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/ross-clark/ | en | null | null | 2,113 |
The question is not if climate change is happening - it is and always has been, long before modern civilizations. The question is if human contribution to climate change is in any way significant to alter it. | 2_not_human | FLICC | https://huggingface.co/datasets/fzanartu/FLICCdataset | en | hamburg_test2 | null | 27 |
I was particularly alarmed by a statement by the World Economic Forum in a video in which the gentleman speaking, and I use the term gentleman loosely here, stated. ‘We need to eliminate billions of people. They will find peace in the grave.’ And so, again, I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but you’ve got to think about what’s coming. For example, let’s consider the COVID-19 mandates, and you’re aware of the problems that have occurred, the complications and the death rates that are occurring. Put this in the context of eliminating fossil fuel use, all in the name of climate change and what that’s going to do to the survivability of people in certain climates, whether it’s hot or cold. And think about what reducing and eliminating our use of fertilizer is going to do. Think about what’s coming with respect to the plan to eliminate or dramatically reduce the livestock industry. What does this sound like? Does it sound like a potential culling of the population? And I’m not saying it is. I’m just saying think about it and make your own decision about what is coming, | 6_proponents_biased | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/alberta-prosperity-project/ | en | null | null | 2,040 |

A few of the bills also address global warming. I would like to point out that according to the new Farmers’ Almanac released this week and its time-honored, complex calculations that it uses to predict weather, they predict we will be in for a colder than normal winter. In addition, they suggest that based on a study of solar activity and corresponding records on ocean temperatures and climate that we will be in for a cooler, not warmer, climate, for perhaps the next half century. | 1_not_happening | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/james-inhofe/ | en | null | null | 5,501 |
This weekend, in a bar called Grumpy’s, I listened as two professors from Berkeley discussed with great passion the inevitable consequences of ignoring climate change. When I was invited to share my opinion, I shrugged and said, ‘Beats me, fellas. Last week the smartest people on the planet thought there were 100 billion galaxies in the universe. They were off by a couple trillion. I’m not really sure what’s in store for planet earth. I was surprised by their response. One frowned real hard, and stared into his beer. The other asked if I was some kind of ‘Climate Denier ’Not at all,’ I said. ‘Any fool can see there’s a climate. ’You know what I mean,’ he said. ‘Are you skeptical of the fact than man is destroying the planet by heating it up to an unnatural degree? ’I’m skeptical of most things,’ I said. ‘But who cares what I think? I’m just a narrator. You guys are the actual scientists, right? ’We are,’ said the one staring at his beer ’Well then, tell me this. Isn’t skepticism at the very heart of scientific inquiry? ’It is. ’Then how come people who question the claims around global warming are called Deniers? ’Because Global Warming is real, and man is causing it. And our planet is in terrible trouble. Then the other one chimed in with this. ‘Right now, this planet is one of the worst places to be in the universe. I nodded. ‘I’m sure you’re right,’ I said. ‘But if it turns out you’re not, and you need someone to walk it back for you – give me a call. I’m in the booth all the time.' | 6_proponents_biased | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/mike-rowe/ | en | null | null | 3,216 |
I don’t agree with (same-sex marriage). I think marriage ought to continue to be between one man and one woman. So do most Kansans, for what it matters. I think when it was on the ballot (the state constitutional ban on same-sex marriage), 70 percent (voted in favor of the ban). There was overwhelming support for it in the state of Kansas. I think as you look back at civilization, look back at history, you find the strength of these families having a father and a mother is the ideal condition for childbearing,” Pompeo said. “Doesn’t mean there aren’t great families with single parents, great young men and women raised without either parent. If you’re asking for what is ideal, I think it’s being raised by a man and a woman. | 0_not_relevant | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/mike-pompeo/ | en | null | null | 3,814 |
