The 2008 Climate Change Act was conceived during a period of great alarm over the consequences of man-made Global Warming. The Act was intended to reduce carbon emissions and thereby save the planet from imminent catastrophic overheating. However, in practice it does nothing of the sort.

One is, I think it actually leads companies to be less successful over the long run. Milton Friedman made that case. I’ve made a revised case of it in my book, Margaret. That’s not even my main reason for being against it. My main reason for being against this trend of stakeholder capitalism, what you could also refer to as woke capitalism, is that it is a perversion of how a constitutional republic, a democratic society is supposed to work. What the model of stakeholder capitalism calls for us to say that, no, no, no, we the people, can’t be trusted to sort out our differences on climate change or on social justice, but that we have to actually trust an enlightened group of elites to determine for the rest of society what the right answers are to those questions.

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/thomas-pyle/ | en | null | null | 5,519 |

For too long, the public, media, and government have been misled into believing that climate change is causing increased extreme weather. At their massive Fall Meeting now taking place in San Francisco, the AGU should start a public education campaign aimed at revealing what science really says about this topic,” Harris said r. Madhav Khandekar stated, “Our Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change report states that there is no convincing evidence supporting a relationship between warming over the past 100 years and increases in extreme events. When the earth was cooling between 1945 and 1977, there were as many extreme weather events as there are now. The link between global warming and extreme weather is more perception than reality. Earth’s climate is robust and there is no evidence that it is being destabilized by human-added carbon dioxide [CO2]. rofessor Bob Carter, ICSC Chief Science Advisor said, “Although today’s climate and extreme weather are well within the bounds of natural variability and the intensity and magnitude of extreme events is not increasing, there is, most definitely, a climate problem. Natural climate change brings with it very real human and environmental costs. Therefore, we must carefully prepare for and adapt to climate hazards as and when they happen. Spending billions of dollars on expensive and ineffectual CO2 controls in a futile attempt to stop natural climate change impoverishes societies and reduces our capacity to address these and other real world problems. | 1_not_happening | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/international-climate-science-coalition/ | en | null | null | 6,071 |

All know the acronym/phrase ‘LGBT’ is shorthand for an ever-expanding list of kinds of sexual desire. We began with LGBT and we are now at LGBTQWERTY, or whatever. I used to be derisive of lists like that, but I now believe this is the one thing sexual desire ideologues get right It really is true that sexual desire is broad, much broader than we used to understand. A man may desire sex, or more usually simulated sex, with himself, with another man, with a child, with a couch on the side of a road (a real case), with a goat, with another man’s wife, with a dead body, with those missing limbs because they are missing limbs, with only females of certain races, with men who pretend to be women, and on and on and on He may desire sex (or simulated sex) in one way today and another tomorrow. Desire can be fluid. For instance, many men do not realize that they desire simulated sex with other men until they are introduced to the concept from older men. And we recall that some men who were called ‘gay’ have fathered children. The number of possible propensities, or ‘orientations,’ is practically infinite … It is thus no surprise that the man who defines himself by his temptations is the man more likely to slip. Since desire is fluid and temptations are as many, as orientation ideologues say, it is also no surprise that this class of men is more likely to sin in many different ways. And that is precisely what is observed This is why the idea to fix the scandal by having priests openly define themselves as their temptations, as advocated by among others the Washington Post, will only make everything worse The Church instead needs to return to a proper understanding of the nature of man. | 0_not_relevant | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/william-briggs/ | en | null | null | 3,344 |

Indigenous groups – especially those involved in the oil and gas sector – are becoming increasingly vocal about the bill’s problematic aspects (Quesnel 2019). For example, the removal of a ‘standing test’ enables outside interests, potentially far removed geographically from the project, to participate and unnecessarily prolong assessment hearings. The bill mentions UNDRIP in the preamble without defining any limits to it or adopting any qualifying language. Also, the addition of gender, health, and climate change to the assessment criteria would make the approval process much more onerous. Many of the areas included in the bill are nebulous and difficult to measure.

Greenhouse effect – The warming of the Earth produced by the presence of certain gases in the atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon necessary for life on earth; without it the planet’s average temperature would be 0 degrees Fahrenheit, instead of 60 degrees. Greenhouse gases include nitrous oxides, chlorofluorocarbons, methane, tropospheric ozone and carbon dioxide. They trap heat that would otherwise escape into space and return some of it to the earth’s surface, causing a rise in temperature. These gases result from both natural (oceans, wetlands, lakes, volcanoes, tundra and decaying organic matter) and human (the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, etc.) sources. | 0_not_relevant | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/national-mining-association/ | en | null | null | 3,610 |

CO2 is an odorless, invisible, and non-flammable gas. It is also safe for humans in the maximum concentrations recommended for plant growth. The average level of CO2 in the atmosphere is about 390 PPM (parts per million). If the level decreases down below 200 PPM in an enclosed growing area, ps, plant growth rates and flowering will increase 20-100%. CO2 can be used from seedling right through harvest. It may take a hundred years for CO2 to get up to 1500 PPM. During that time, plant growth will flourish. | 3_not_bad | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/arthur-middleton-hughes/ | en | null | null | 4,999 |

Cliff Mass went to Cornell University for his undergraduate education where he majored in physics. During that time we worked with Astronomer Carl Sagan on a model of the Martian atmosphere and was active in the Cornell University Senate After Cornell he entered the Ph.D. program at the University of Washington. During the first few summers he worked with climatologist Stephen Schneider on the influence of volcanic eruptions, solar variations, and on climate. Although his Ph.D. was on African wave disturbances, the forerunners of tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic, he caught the Northwest weather bug as a graduate student and began gathering information on the Puget Sound convergence zone and other local weather features Leaving the , he joined the faculty of the Meteorology Department at the University of Maryland, where he taught synoptic meteorology and weather prediction and worked on a variety of research topics, from Northwest weather circulations and high-resolution modeling, to the climatic implications of the Mount St. Helens eruption When an opening became available at the University of Washington, he moved back to Seattle as an assistant professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences. | 0_not_relevant | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/clifford-mass/ | en | null | null | 3,233 |
You don’t have to be a scientist or an academic to know that wind doesn’t blow all the time, so they are not reliable. In fact, if the wind blows too hard they have to be shut down Our current policy of encouraging wind farms is fatally flawed.

Government agencies, from worldwide to regional organizations, have been developed to deal with the policy concerns raised by the greenhouse issue. Many of these government groups have expanded in recent years, and their fate is tied to the perception that global warming represents a significant threat to the planet. Bureaucratic inertia virtually guarantees that the greenhouse question will remain high on the list of environmental policy priorities. Despite the evidence reviewed in this chapter, the upcoming versions of the various IPCC reports will continue to trumpet the threat of global warming. Press releases will probably emphasize the risks of the greenhouse effect while remaining silent about the potential benefits of the greenhouse world. | 5_science_unreliable | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/ronald-bailey/ | en | null | null | 3,778 |
The problem with the expertariat that runs our country now or wants to or continue to run our country is that they can see the future. They know exactly what’s going to happen and they know the ideal policies, the perfect economic setup […] in fact, those policies, once they entered the political realm, no matter how good they sound in theory are always made as inefficient, and in many cases as criminal as possible. So what we have now as the result of this expertariat that has been driving global warming policy since the early 1990s is a climate industrial complex that is sucking our economy dry for no benefit. | 6_proponents_biased | Desmog | https://www.desmog.com/myron-ebell/ | en | null | null | 5,101 |
